WOMAN LAWYERS.

A well known judge spoke lately
on the subject Of the law as a pro-
fession for women, and much that he
said was so encouraging that 1t seems
to me It ought to be brought to the
attention Of girls who are looking
about for a walk in life and who
have means for a thorough prepara-
tion toward that end.
He said the prejudice still existing
against woman lawyers would be
speedily wiped out when 1t was shown
how effective woman lawyers really
are. And that his advice was for
women to take up criminal law. There
was a greater demand for good law
yers in this branch than could be sup
piled. Advertisement was sure TO
come TO a woman who practiced law
in the criminal courts, said the judge,
and this advertisement would be ad-
vantageous not only TO her but to all
women In the profession.
"a woman's mind is different from
mans mind" continued the Judge.
1T is keener, is not 80 logical, and

!, THE WAR AND THE SINGLE
, TAN,


Kiachau, Germany's Chinese
stronghold. with its 200 square miles
Of attached hinterland, is the largest
thoroughgoing single tax communi-
ty. The colony didn't adopt the sin
gle land tax as the basis of its fiscal
system by popular vote; the German
imperial government ordered it.
German imperial, state and munich
pal governments in 1912 collected So
100000 of taxes on increased land
values within the empire. The total
Of such increases, officially reported,
on which the $4,000, 900 tax was TAX
en-, was S6O,OOO.0O0 This 100000, 600
OF course, doesn't represent the whole
increment Of German lands for 1912,
only the total Of land sales which
showed an unearned increment since
the last previous transfer.
The increment tax is taken, in
Germany. only when the land pri-
vately owned changes hands. No tax
is laid on increased values created by
the land owner, by building or other
improvement. The tax is laid only
on that portion of the increase due
to social growth and betterment. The
sum of the several states averaged, is
shown by the 1912 totals to be 10 per
cent. Germany has gone further to-
ward practical utilization of the
Henry George idea than any other
country.
The adoption of the single land tax
as the sole source OF local revenue in
the Kiachau colony exhibited the
German imperial governments con-
viction, based on the home trial OF
the land increment tax, that the sin
gle tax, where it can be applied, is
the most easily borne and fairest
form of taxation, and the surest rev.
enue producer.
II Japan's sea and land forces oust
the Germans from the Kiachau for
tress, this experiment with the single
land tax theory will come abruptly
to an end. Japan's hunger for pub

AT TILE FRONT.

At the front is not the significant
expression it was In these times OF
long-range guns one may still be at
the front and still be away back.
Thus, one might easily deceive one
self, reading that the kaiser and the
czar are at the front. They are no
where near it. That expression has
become very elastic, and IL either Of
those warlike monarchs ventures
near enough to smell gunpowder on
the morning breeze it will be because
the enemy has surprised him in bed
The Russo Japanese war disposed of
the front as it once was understood.
In that war the front was anywhere
from the firing line to the Red Cross
tent. Men fought and died in that
war without ever knowing where the
enemy was or which battle they were
In. The cZar and the kaiser are not
rushing in where pheasants dare to
tread. The common soldier will still
do that sanguinary work, thank you.

a woman has innate perceptions to
higher degree than man. She gets
ar the same conclusions conclusion
that man reaches, but she gets there
quicker.
Therefore. 1 say in all earnestness
that the place for a woman lawyer is
in the criminal courts. With her keen
perceptions she can almost at once
see whether a witness is telling the
truth or not, or whether a defendant
IS guilty or innocent. That should
prove of great service in deciding
what plea the defendant ought to
make. We need new practitioners in
the criminal courts. Women can
render a distinct service in such
work.
For the many college women who
do not want to teach, and who are
seeking new fields of labor. this ought
10 be good news. Coming from a
judge this advice has value. The
money TO be made in the criminal
courts is not as great as that in some
other branches of the law. but the op-
portunity is evidently much greater.

THE GARDEN NIGHTINGALE.

With bright hued lights, the garden
glows
Like jewels they simmer on her
hair,
Unconscious as a stately rose
OF curious eyes that boldly stare,
She trills a quaint, old-fashioned air
OF love, youth lost, Of youths de-
spair,
Then laughter dies and noisy mirth
Seeks refuge in the pebbled earth.
The feasting halts. the bubbling wine.
Untasted stands, and thro' the vale
OF Pottei plant and hothouse vine,
OF festooned leaves that creep and
twine.
While pulses beat and faces pale,
Pours forth her song, sweet Night

Ruined cities, blazing villages. roads

fleeing from their homes with scarcely
any Of their possessions. Fields torn
up and harvests destroyed. Dead
farm animals lying everywhere.
Trenches full of corpses. which their
shallow covering OF earth scarcely
conceals. Fear and suffering in every
quarter. Such scenes are plentiful in
Belgium. Similar scenes are being
enacted along the eastern frontier of
Prussia where both Russians and Ger
mans are operating in hostile terri
tory, in Servia also the march Of in
yading troops has laid waste wide
stretches of country.
Not only in the relatively contract
ed spaces where the whole country
side is harried by actual fighting, but
throughout the broad field of war,
the grip of want is felt. Even in neu-
trail Holland the food supply grows
scarce in spite of its open ports and
its free access to the ocean highways.
Since that thrifty and peaceful coun-
try is threatened with a shortage of
food one may be sure that the pinch
of poverty will soon be felt through
out Europe as the terrible waste of
wealth and of productive energy goes
