A Thing Is Worth What
It Will Fetch in
Shekels.

I am l, and the public is some
thing else. A thing is worth what
1T will fetch in shekels. All COM
modities, the strength that Is in
my muscles, the thought-power
that is in my brain, even the love-
power in my heart, are all forms Of
value, a kind of pounds, shillings
and pence, to be dispensed there
fore only on the standard of the
dollar Life is barter, an exchange
of equals, give and take, at the de-
termination of the balances"
Mr.. Taft did not put it in that
form at Montreal, but that was
what, in his more learned and
stately way, he was protesting
against.

Written for The Georgian
Bv DR.. G. H. PARKHURST

IT was a graceful tribute which
was rendered to Mr.. Taft by
the American Bar Association
in unanimously electing him to its
presidency, tribute to his ability
as a iurist and to his elegant and
genial courtesy as a man.
Most of the contents OF his ad-
dress on that occasion will be best
understood and appreciated by the
members of his own profession,
but the protest which he made
against practicing law merely as a
means of subsistence, without re-
gard to the worlds broader social
and communal interests, is a plea
which is easily understood by us
all, and which relates to every
kind of service as well as to that
of the law
The underlying principle upon
which such a protest as that of
Mr.. Taft is based is that a man
belongs to the world as well as to
himself.
A gentleman who occupies ma
tional judicial position of unsur-
passed responsibility recently re-
marked to me that the public has
very little idea of the vast amount
of legal talent that exercises itself
in quiet office work which never
comes to outside disclosure, talent,
therefore, whose influence fails to
extend itself beyond the frontiers
of its own distinctly professional
field.

Only Natural to Demand
Money Equivalent in

And so whatever else any one
bestows It is ones impulse to have
in mind its money equivalent and
to expect the full equivalent from

Judas Iscariot saw in Mary's

ment the story of a sorcerer named
Simon, who saw Peter working
miracles by the power Of Gods
Spirit, and asked him how much
he would have to pay for enough
Spirit to be able to work miracles
himself.
Of course, that is an extreme
case, but all the more valuable on
that account, because exhibiting in

pie generally.
Judas and Simon were like the
rest of people, before and since,

form, 1t is well to inspect such
people, for they show us what we

commercializing ones self, making
ones talent a mere marketable
commodity, so much ability drop
ped into the slot and so many
dollars coming out at the receiver.
And the same principle goes
even beyond the limits of profess
sional life and extends to all life.
1t is the common tendency of peo-
pie to think of all kinds of COM
modify in terms of dollars and
cents. Not only does the grocer
think of his potatoes as being so
much money in the shape of vege-
table, but wants that whole amount
in money when he parts with the
potatoes.

Trouble at Sing Sing.

\ serious state of affairs exists at
sing Sing prison. y. Y, which has been
recently condemned as q place of in
generation on the score Of it's lack of
sanitary facilities and general made
quacy. change Of wardens has been
lately effected and some of tho con-
victs, who include New York city's
most desperate gangsters now serving
sentences. have seized upon the coming
OF the new incumbent as an occasion
for strike. For several days a reign
of terror has existed within the prison
walls. two fires have been set and one
OF the convicts has been murdered by
fellow inmates. Workers in some of
the shops have refused to handle their
tools and at all hours of the day and
night a terrific clamor has arisen. the
convicts yelling and cursing and beat
Ing upon their bars with utensils, shoes
and sticks Of wood wrenched from
their cots. This morning a large squad
of second term men. including some Of
the more desperate characters, were
removed from Sing Sing to Auburn
penitcntiary, in order to relieve the
congestion and to lessen tho danger Of
effective revolt. A striking phase of
this situation is that for two or three
days the town Of Ossining has been
filled with strangers from New York
city. carrying hand baggage filled with
clothing for their friends within the
prison walls, to be used In case Of q
general Jail delivery. These men. men,

into a formal discussion Of the currency,
and render valuable aid in shaping new

The currency program is not yet made
I'D. In fact, discussion so far has shown
so many different opinions. both In Con-
gress and out, as to what should be done,
the situation is little better than chaotic.
In the House committee on banking and
currency matters in particular change
from day to day. and there is no telling
what day may bring forth. Now a
proposition is voted in and now out. Now
a member of the committee jumps the
reservation, and now returns. Now there
is a deadlock. and now movement
But nothing has taken place as yet in
dicating with definiteness what the demo-
cratic program. Is to be, or whether the

tion-the control Of the central currency
board by politicians In ONCE by pres1-
Dental appointment-wiil be subjected to
very severe attack in the last analysis OF
the measure There are democrats as
well as republicans who doubt the wis
dom of that provision.
Even If the Senate passes the tariff bill
as early as August 25. that will be a late
day for il to take up the currency ques-
ton unless it is willing to sit at least
two months longer. For there are great
possibilities for debate in question of
such vital concern to the whole business

Mexican Mediation.

The proposal for the United States to
mediate In Mexico is attractive in spite
of the obvious difficulties in the way OF
success. II a basis could be found for ct
fective mediation between the contending
factions, leading to the restoration OF
peace with some assurance Of stability,
the prestige of this country would be de-
cidedly advanced. But the responsibilities
of the United States would be CORE
spondingly augmented, for q mediation
such as that now proposed almost neces-
sarily involves supervision over the
proceedings subsequent to the suspension
of hostllities, virtually All American guar
anty OF a national election participated
in by all the people and free from frauds
of all kinds. Can the United States guar
intee such an election? 1t is notorious
that Mexican elections for many years
have been tainted by fraud or conducted
under federal coercion. Is it possible at
this time to hold an election which ali the
people will attend and where all the votes
will be fairly counted?
But mediation is by no means assured
of success in the first stages. 1t is stated
with emphasis by representatives OF both
the Huerta regime and the so-called con-
stitutIonaiists In opposition that no such
intervention will be accepted. 1t may be
that Huerta is afraid that under media
ton he will lose his present position OF
advantage, while the constitutionalists
are increasingly confident in his early
downfall through the failure OF his funds
and the steadily rising tide of revolution.
10 offer mediation unasked by one or the
other of the bell,gerents is a delicate un-
dertaking. To propose il in the face OF
the known unwillingness OF both sides
would seem TO be an invitation to repulse
that may only add to the present en-
barrassments of the United States.
1t has been proposed to send commits
sion to Mexico. headed by an eminent
Arler.can-Mr. Bryan's name is suggested
In this connection-for the purpose OF as
pertaining whether mediation will be ac-
ceptablc ii rendered. Is not this round
about method, possibly full of danger.
This possibility is likely to be discussed
When the President and the ambassado
from Mexico meet tomorrow for q con-
ference, which it is hoped Will clarity
the ideas of the American admins tration

est enemies of mankind in the temperate

filth, thrives in filth and carries filth
wherever he goes. The way to defeat
him is to cover and disinfect all garbage
