Victory Is Near.

The determination of The Washing
ton Herald to put before our law
makers the necessity of enacting legis-
lation TO put an end to the carrying
OF pistols in the National Capital seems
likely to be crowned with success in
the very near future
Starting at a time when the whole
District was shuddering at the tragedy
in which a man shot his wife and him
self to death, The Washington Herald
showed the needlessness of opportunity
for such crimes Since then there have
been other horrible examples to prove
that society is constantly endangered
by persons whose malice or insanity
would be impotent if they were rea-
sonably restrained from license to OBJ
tain and carry lethal weapons.
In this campaign The Washington
Herald has gained the support of the
Commissioners. of members of Con-
gress. of an afternoon contemporary,
and, most powerful and valuable OF all,
of awakened public sentiment. 1t is
safe to predict that Congress will re-
spond 10 this concerted appeal for Sc
curity of life in the National Capital.

Old Rugs vs.. Old Paintings.

We believe in customs duties upon
luxuries. and the only exception we
would make is where certain articles
are luXuries because of their rare beau
ty which, being appreciated, makes
them valuable. With one exception
such articles now enter the United
States free of duty if a certain age
can be proved for them.
The single exception is rugs of
Oriental make, which pay high duty,
both ad valorem and specific. To one
at all familiar with the appearance of
an Oriental rug more than 100 years
old, or to a person with even a little
artistic appreciation, the idea that the
value of such rug lies in its useful
ness as floor covering in competition
with the products OF domestic looms, is
simply ludicrous. Appreciation of the
beauties of color and design and weave
in old rugs is rather new develop
ment in this country, but the soaring
values of rare old rugs testify to the
rapidity of its growth.
Why lovers of old rugs should not
have the same privilege of bringing
in their finds as collectors of old paint
ings can do, we cannot see. The only ex-
PLANTATION that occurs to US is that per-
haps there is less organization for self
protection among artists of the brush
than among owners of rug factories.
Surely the latter will not claim to APP
proach the old masters of rug weav-
ing so nearly as do our modern paint
ers in either initiative ability or orig
inality. Why should not old rugs be-
on the free LIST

Mr.. McNab's statement reaches the
apparently simple conclusion that it

Freedom of Judges.

The courts are doing much these
days TO impress upon the people that a
Judge is a judge only when he is on
the bench.
Dignity and strict morality always
are commendable, but why jurist con-
stantly should wear his ermine is being
declared by the courts as unreasonable
as that a surveyor always should be
accompanied by his table of logarithims.
The Judges OF the country may hail
with satisfaction the recent decision
of the Missouri Court OF Appeals, in
which it Is held that justice of the
peace has all the rights of a laynan in
private A Federal judge in Alabama
also holds that a judge is only judge
while performing official duties.
Judges must chafe at the restraint
under which they are placed. They
likely will welcome the day allowing
them the latitude to which the man in
other walks OF life is entitled

The School Ma-am's Vacation
by GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old Siwaah."

At this time of the year while the
rest of the world is perspiring indus
triously on its way to work, the school,
ma am is taking her vacation.
The schoolma' am is no piker when II
comes to vacations No measly two
weeks hustle somewhere and back for
her. No breathless rush to get her own
work so far ahead that she can come
back in ten days and do some other

In June she locks her desk and until
September she has nothing to do except

mocks.
Life for her is one Elysian dream of
late sleeping and lemonade fabricated
idleness under a shade tree with the
latest best seller. She is our leisure class
and only one slight fact disturbs her
bliss.
The school teacher doesn't draw any
pay while she is resting.
II Is solely on this account that the
world does not arise as one man and
crowd its way into the teaching profess
sion. When the ordinary man thinks
how hard 1t is to get ahead financially,
far enough to rest for fourteen days, he
shudders heartily and neglects the teach
ing profession with ali his might.
The school teacher draws from so to
800 a month for nine months. The rest
of the time she doesn't draw as well as
an amateur cornet player. She has to
save enough in nine months to keep her

Today. Practice, Tomorrow. Ethics.

Bedrock" advertising in The Wash
ington Herald, seeks "A lawyer-not
too technically ethical, just humanity
honorable"
The little "ad," whose ultimate re-
suits it would be edifying to know,
suggests many lines of speculative
thought. Bedrock" it may be fancied,
is a solid man of business, himself
humanity honorable" whose experience
of the laws delay is intimately asso-
ciated with, perhaps actually, the effect
of technical ethics" His affairs need
full of the services of the humanity hon.
orable attorney may be anything from
a simple transfer of property to a
delicate point of corporation law.
But the vast realm OF imagination
opened up by "Bedrock's" want is the
frank disclaimer of respect for ethics.
Not only every profession, but practi-
cally every business of today has its
ethics. The merchant and the banker
have their codes of ethics, in the main
unwritten, whereby they regulate nice
points of conduct to which the ordinary
measurements of honesty are not eff
fectively applicable. In business such
codes can hardly be said to be COM
posed of technicalities; yet, for all
that, they are merely answers to cues
tons of taste and propriety underlying
the mutual respect which rivals and
competitors, be they friendly or hos
tile, must maintain.
The criticism of such practical"
ethics has been almost without excep-
ton favorable The ethics of the busi-
ness man is not technical" to the pop
ular mind; such ethics can be under
stood of the people. Yet the business
mans ethics is technical to the extent
that it is based upon the business mans
technical knowledge or practice.
The ethics OF the learned professions
is hardly more technical to those un-
Outstanding the purposes of the codes.
Each rule of the ethical codes was Gre
ated by some need for it. As the need
for such a rule disappears, the rule it.
self will disappear Since professional
ethics is a code of personal conduct,
it cannot be abrogatcd by single act.
Its rules slowly follow dying needs by
which they were created. So, today
there exist ethical rules founded upon
needs which came into being long ago
and are perhaps now moribund. 1t
is not to be wondered al, however, that
men OF the law, to whom the power of
precedent and established authority
looms so large, should hold themselves
close to their professional codes, even
where its mandates may be wholly
technical
With all sympathy for Bedrock" in
whatever harassments technicalities |
have caused him, we must reflect that
the lawyers ethics exists as much for |
his client as for his own benefit
