The Erratic MIR. Shaw.

In most matters of actual moment, the opinion
! of G. Bernard Shaw would not be taken seriously
even by his own countYmen, and certainly not by
the English with whom he sojourns in the capacity
of universal amusement prOvider-a species Of the
oldtime court Jester without the cap and BELLS but
with all the license of speech and action which
the distinctive right of his medieval prototype
So that Mr. Shaws recently expressed views on the
Iwar-publshed in American newspaper to avoid
lynching, he suggests-cannot in any way be accept
ed as the and well-dgested conclusions of a
Ipropery-balanced mind; they must be regarded as
the vaporings of man who depends largely upon
eccentricty of language for his literary popularity
In point of actual value, they must be rated with
much of the other literary buffoonery which has
come from his pen
1t is a very grotesque and ar-fetched picture
of Great Britains part in the affair which Mr. Shaw
constructs He insists that he little to choose
between the groups of combatants but he leaves the
impression that England might have prevented the
outbreak had she been inclined that way. He seems
to find in Sir Edward Grey, a junker of the most
dangerous kind, militarist of type far OBJ
noNious to lovers of peace than the Kaiser was
or is likely ever to be. He sees in the British war
secretarys refusal to guarantee his governments
neutrality while Germany made war on France ire
futable evidence that Sir Edward was "out" for
trouble and that he was resolved TO get into it at
any cost.
As for the German violation of the neutrality
OF Belgium Mr.. Shaw does not see how it could
have happened otherwise, and he has the most pro-
found contempt for those who differ with him in
that opinion. To profess to regard such an oblga-
ton as a thing actually to be observed under any
condition smacks of hypocrisy. he declares and he
prefers the candor of the German violators of the
compact to the post-mortem horror of the Eng
lish protestants To plunge the nation into war in
order to compel Germany to do something which
England would not have done under like condi-
tons indicated the detestable sort of mitarism
according to Mr.. Shaw And that is precisely what
Sir Edward and his fellow unkers did
Thus far in his literary career no one has ever
accused G. Bernard Shaw of an excess of modesty.
Long ago he discovered the value of disagreeing
with his public, and he is too keen business man
to neglect any opportunity to profit by his dis
covery. Despite his admission that he is influenced
by touch of Irish malice in thus taking the con-

An Excess of Judicial Dignity.
Written ErprcszIy for Tie HeralI}
BY DIR. T.. J. EDWARDS.

The excessive dignity and scrupulous
insistence that all the properties OF the
court OF justice should be maintained
whenever he was sitting as judge were
recognized by the Massachusetts, bar as
distinguishing characteristic of Horace
justice Of the highest court OF the old
Bay State. From that court Judge Gray
went to the bench Of the Supreme Cour.
at Washington in the administration of
President Arthur.
Judge Grays physical stature fully
matched his legal ability and his widely
recognized judicial capacity. He stood
head and shoulders above any lawyer OF
his day. He was known 10 be the tale 81
man in Boston. and in all Massachusetts
there was believed TO bo only one other
OF equally great stature. Lawyers some
times said OF him that il was easy for
a man Of his IMPOSING physical appear
anCe to maintain dignity and to exact
perfect recognition OF that dignity upon
all occasions.
Some time after Judge Gray became a
member of the Supreme Court At Wash
ingtOn, l was told several interesting
anecdotes associated with him while he
saChusetts court.
''One day said my informant. Judge
Gray was called to Providence. T. l. An
intimate personal and professional friend
was his companion on the trip. Exactly
what the occasion was which made this
visit necessary | do not now recall. but
l am certain that it r lated to some i'm
portant litigation. Judge Gray's friend
was little man. and when the two were
seated in T-.41fr ,..N
TO have the relation Of a father and
littl" boy, Yet the friend was a man of
ordinary statur,.
Upon arrival at the railway station at
Providence Judge Gray asked his friend
IL he knew how far II was from the plat
form within the station to the curve out
side. II was really only few steps, but
all the same Judge Gray looked around
for the purpose Of finding a porter who
could be employed to carry his small trav-
cling satchel. There was no porter. and

satcheL
"Whsn they reached tn" curve Judge
Gray stopped and bcckonrd to a hack
man. His friend said to him: Judge. you
are not calling a hack. ar" you?'
To this question Judge Gray made no
reply. but continued 10 bocliOn until the
hackman responded. His friend insisted:
JudGn. We don't need hack. The place
to which We are going - only half
block away. We can walk to it in 4 few
minutes
Sir said Judge Gray. straichtening
himself TO his full height. YOU should
know that Judge Gray never walks
''Whv. have heard that YOU took
walking tour one time through the Berk-
shrcs' said the friend.
Il did. but that was when I was Mr..
Gray" He thereUpOn entered the hack
with his friend and was driven the length
OF the half block to the place which was
their destination.

Gen. Wotherspoon's Army.

In country with the vast area and great popula-
ton of the United States there can be no talk OF
miltarism when it is suggested that our army and
navy be moderately increased and kept in state of
Wotherspoon's recommendation that we should have
an army of 10000 hrst-ine troops with a militia
reserve of 10000 men. The magnitude of these
figures puts them out of consideration at once Be-
tween such extremists and the pacicsts there ought

like to see both army and. navy strengthened and
made more efficient and who impress their views
