Captain MYERS duties consist of

Captain Myler is forty nine years
of age; joined the ST. Paul Fire De-
partment on March -, 1882, and has
been continuously in it's service for
thirty-one years. He was made Cap
tain July 6, 1897.
Shortly after his promotion, he was
placed in the very responsible posi-
ton of head of Engine Co. No. 2, sit
uated in the wholesale and jobbing
districts of the city.
In April, 1913, Captain Mylcr was
again promoted and appointed fire
marshal by the Fire Board, at the
solicitation of the wholesale and
business interests of the city. His
appointment was made after thor
ough investigation of his fitness and
qualifications for the position, and in
deed the board could have made no
better selection for the betterment OF
the fire department.
Under the management and direc-
ton of Captain Myler, the office Of
marshal eventually will be one of the
! most important positions in the fire
department of the city of st. Paul
We venture this prediction in view of
his past services in the department.

A CHEERING SIGN.

There is cheer in the signs OF the
times in Ireland. Public opinion has
reached the stage at which the real.
!zation of Home Rule is accepted as
foregone conclusion and the people
nave begun to busy themselves with
the details of the revival of the in
dustries and the institutions of the
country. The cost of restoring the
old Parliament building on College
Green is now one of the questions
receiving the thought and engrossing
the attention OF those at the head
of the movement.
How cheering it must be to the
hearts of the older men, who have
seen the darkest days of the struggle,
to think that the time is at hand
when the building may again be used
for the purpose for which it was
originally intended. An Irish Parlia-
ment once sat there and discussed
the issues and debated the questions
that concerned the welfare of Ire
land. But an unhappy fate, bribery
and corruption was elficacious in hav-
ing it abolished. Against this injus-
tice Daniel OiConnell, in the days
when he was the prime mover in
Irish affairs, rallied with the might
Of his logic and eloquence. So hope

CHURCH COOPERATION,

Rev. John w. Powell, Il Methodist
minister who holds the position of
Religious Work Director at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, made the state
ment before a meeting of Methodist
ministers in Minneapolis last week
that the various denominations should
get together and divide the religious
work in the universities, one dcnom-
nation having charge of the work in
one university and another in an
other.
In the first place, since there are
less than 500 Methodist students at
the university out of an enrolment of
| about 5000, and since the Catholic
students number more than 400 and
there are hundreds of students of 9TH
or faiths and of no faith--we do not
know by what right DIR. Powell is
constituted Religious Work Director"
But in an institution where there is

Why should one church relnquisl

DETERMINING GUILT AND lNNO
CENCE.

1t is not an unusual thing to hear
an attorney tell of the circumstance
by which he won or lost a case. His
failure to do this or his thoughtful
ness in doing that may have been the
turning point. Had he acted other
wise the outcome might have beer
reversed.
When one takes into consideration
that the function of the courts is to
dispense justice, to acquit the limo
cent and punish the guilty, this seems
like paradox. The handling of a
case by an attorney should not affect
the guilt or the innocence OF the
party involved in the litigation. If
the party is guilty the resourcefulness
Or the eloquence of all attorney ca0-
not make him innocent. But it may
put different aspect on the case in
the eyes of the court and the jury,
and that is where eloqucnce counts.
1t is fact that a great criminal
lawyer has wonderful influence in
determining the verdict his client will
get. With facts against him and
ability in his favor, he stands we'll
to make the circumstances appear in
a much different light than if he were
q man of inferior ability. But that
is no solution of the problem in the
eyes OF the layman. Every man
brought into court is either guilty OF
the charge against him or else inno-
cent. One can understand how genius
should be factor in protecting a
guilty client so that he may not be
punished beyond the deserts Of his
offence, but it is hard to understand
how the genius should make him ap-
pear innocent if he is guilty. The
whole matter only goes to show that
dishonesty on the part of witnesses
has much to do with deciding mans
guilt or innocence.

WELL GUARDED CHARITY.

An investigation of the work of
certain charitable institutions in Chi
cago by the Curran legislative COM
mittee resulted in the statement be-
ing made by members of the COM
mittee last Friday that case had
been discovered in which a woman
had received less than $500 out of a
total of $4,000 spent in investigating
her condition.
1t appears that the woman. Mrs.
Margaret Ustich. lived in house be-
side the home of the United Char
tiles. being separated from them by a
board fence. To this organization
she made innumerable appeals for as
sistance. She was befriended at diff

Famous Sculptor a Nun.

Miss Melva Beatrice Wilson, some-
times called "America's foremost wom-
an sculptor" has become a nun. The
beautiful young woman came to New
York from the Middle West decade
ago. and attained success that was
almost sensational.
Miss Wilson is a daughter of the
late Judge John Lafayette Wilson, of
Ohio, and is convert from Episco-
palianism. 5:
1t was in ecclesiastical subjects that
Miss Wilson's genius found it's true
expression. One of her works is q
colossal figure of Christ, surmounting
the mortuary chapel built in Calvary
cemetery. Another was the spandrels

zeal buildings at the worlds fair in ST

ferent times by sixteen different
charitable organizations. The case
covers u period of eighteen months
and in that time two courts, eighty
two persons, eleven physicians and
three nurses had been employed on it.
Twenty -seven letters were written
about it and Mrs. Ustich made forty
seven visits to the Offices of the char
liable organizations. In the mean
time two of her children died. The
expense of the entire work involved
is placed at approximately $4,000. OF
this amount Mrs. Ustich was given
S299.o5. %
These statements arc almost incred-
IDLE. If it were not for the fact that
they We're made by legislative COM
mlttee after the case had been in
vestigated, We would be inclined to
pass them over without notice. But
as it happens there is authority be-
hind the assertions. Nevertheless, it
is hard to believe that organizations
purporting to be doing charitable
work could possibly be guilty of such
Il waste Of money. At this rate "a
per cent of the money went to en-
ploycs whose duty it was to see that
the woman was deserving of what she
got and the other per cent was
given to the woman
1t is time that some of those So
called charitable organizations were
subjected to a policy of supervision
such as they exercise over those who
appeal to them for aid.

COMMENCEMENT ATTIRE.

The season when embryo philos-
ophers, mathematicians and business
men and women are about to make
their bow to the world at various and
multitudinous commencement cXer-
ciscs is at hand. 1t is a momcntous
occasion for the children and their
parents. And the important part of
1t is the question of what clothes will
add most to the imposing figure of
Mary and Tommy.
Wise mothers with serious linita-
tons on their financial resources will
voice loudly the plea for simple COM
mencement attire. But the wise grad
uates-and what graduate is not wise
whether he be about to receive Il GER
tilicate to show that he has done with
credit the work in the grades. or a
university degree-and mothers with
wealth that they take no higher
pleasure in than lavishing on the
clothing of their children. will try to
insist on fetching commencement
gowns for their daughters and costly
suits for their sons.
But let all mothers. rich and poor,
stop to consider that intellectual bril-
lancy is neither enhanced by gay
gowns nor dimmed by plain clothes.
1t is a question if children would not
make IL better showing in the plain
est kind of clothes. provided they are
neat and we'll made. The contrast
should allow the intellectual brilliancv
to shine the brighter.
1t is not to show how we'll grad
yates can dress or how nice they can

exercises are for. but to show how
well they can play their parts.
