De Wolf Hopper Clad Pink Silk Affair Gives the History Of
His Life Mere Less and Turns Loose Few Jokes Trying
to Get Rid of the Reporter

When man is making up for
the stage it is probably inadvisaDie
to tackle the job while eacased in a
billed shirt, for the grease paints Of
many hues have habit of being more
becoming when placed on the human
face than when Smeared On the hu.

per was very much without a billed"
shirt when the reporter from The
Tribune finally managed to get to
him. and to stick to the unbiased
facts, the silk creation that adorned
his frame in place of the shirt, was
rather staggering to one who always
wears the plain white kind and who
abhors pink on full grown man. (

"I'll answer the last part of the

Hopper. Then he began to talk, and
he kept it up till the callboy appeared.
1T was like this: Up until shortly
before was born, my father and
my mother neither one. of them be,

great church woman, and father

WERE NOT INFORMED.

1t is unfortunate that the various
amendments which passed at the re-
cent election were not more generally
discussed. The initiative and refer
endum amendments are not satisfac-
tory even to the friends Of this prin>
ciple. 1t is unfortunate that these
amendments were not subjected to
the searching analysis which focused
upon woman suffrage.
1t is not an initiative or referendum
measure in the true sense.
The press of the state probably Is
to blame for not informing the voters
as to the initiative and referendum
amendments.
But the vote was overwhelming and

EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION.

An educational commission SHOULD

entire system andi report back to the
1917 legislature The time has come
when the educational units of tht
state should be co-ordinated and the
wasteful duplication now going or
checked.
The taxpayer is thoroughly aroused
to the burden he Is carrying If II
were in the interests Of efficiency
there would be no protest, but it. is
not. Thousands of dollars are dumped
into the treasures of these institu
lions each year and spent without re
gard for the future.
Each institution is like a perennial
Oliver Twist--always asking for
more"
There are number of public
spirited citizens in the state who
would be willing to work without re-
enumeration and draw UP plan
whereby the extravagant duplication
could be stopped.
The time has come to concentrate
the control of the eduCa tional institu.
tions in the board of control with a
board of regents to act in an advisory
capacity. AS long as the state keeps
up its present hit and miss policy,
the burden of supporting these last
buttons will increase.
There is no valid reason why the
University and Agricultural College
should not be under one board of
trustees 1t is within these institu-
tions that the most extravagant dupli-
cation is taking place.
The Normal Schools, too are ad-
ding courses which properly belong
to the University and the institutions
at Fargo and Grand Forks are dupli-
eating in a large measure the normal
school plant.
Whether by regular commission
or not, at any rate an educational
survey should be made of the state
and some steps taken to weld the
various units into one powerful and
efficient educational system working
in complete harmony.
There is no time like the present,
and each year that this step in de-
layed will make it harder of accom-
plishment

TRIBUTE TO THE
FAMILY LAWYER
Wickersham Discusses Present
Rules Of Admittance to the
Bar.

Chicago, Nov. IA plea for the
maintenance Of the highest ethical
standard of the legal profession was
made here by former Attor-
new General George w. Wickersllam,
president of the Association Of the
Bar of the City of New York, at a
dinner given by the Chicago Bar as
ISOLATION. He suggested that the, Am,
erican method of examination by the
courts or boards for admission to the
bar is q memory test rather than a
trial to determine the thoroughness
of the candidates qualifications, Far
associations, he said, might 90 much
to amend this situation.
The speaker professed liking Tor
and a belief in the old family lawyer
who was a friend of his client, whose
training was at the disposal or the
latter, who drew the last will, and
who faithfully became its executor,
and who in his triendliness was often
interposed to prevent domestic injus-
tee. The old order has changed to a
degree. it appeared il the address,
when the guest of the evening said:
Nothing could better illustrate the
i.change which moderl civilization has
wrought in the attitude of the public
toward the lawyer than such an ad-
vertisement Chat of a title and trust
company seeking business as trustee
of wills) exhibited in hundreds OF
ears 4, thousands of readers, no
doubt with great profit to the incor-
lorated trustee.
What is to become of the old-time
relation Of mutual confidence and
esteem between counsel and client
if the most sacred and solemn facts
OF life shall be dealt in as merchan-
disc and formulated by the employees
of incorporated commercial compan-
les instead of the trusted advisor and
friend OF a life time, the repository
of family secrets, the moderator Of
asperities, the harmonizer of difficult
ties the wise guide who restrain; the
angry parent or the jealous husband
frcn iireparable acts Of injustice and
from testamentary declarations which
may constitute legacies of hate. Only
the bar itself can prevent the i'm
measurable loss to convene wlrich
would follow the debasement Of it's
true functions to a merely mercantile
oasis.'
Taking up the subject Of admit
tance to the bar, Mr.. Wickersham
said:
There would seem to be no reason
why, with proper organization of the
representatives of the bar, that the
whole. subject should not be cared
for more wisely, more efficiently .by
tie bar,than by either the courts or
the statutory boards. But such an
association, to have control Of the
subject, should embrace the entire
active working number; and not a
mere selected number of the most
successful practitioners. TO secure
this result would not be difficult in
rural communities and in the smaller
cities but in great cities like New
York and Chicago, there are serious
obstacles to it's success.
"ln the County of New York alone
there are more than 14,c00 persons
registered as practitioners of law
Many of these no doubt are occupied
largely with matters on the fringes of
legal practice rather than in the ac-
tual conduct of legal affairs.

women SHOW MEN
HOW TO use Cash
Miss Caldwell Tells How Money
Can Be Saved.

DO you spend more money than YOU
ought to? Can you answer the ques-
ton? Miss Gladys Caldwell, who ap-
peared last night in THE Mikado,'
may be able to tell you. At least
she claims that any woman can teach
man how to economic. And she
also has rule which is said to APP
ply to every wage-earning man or
woman At least 20 per cent of the
yearly income should be deposited in
the bank Twenty per cent more
should be held as a reserve fund.- leav-
ing 60 per cent for the necessities Of
life, for luxuries and holidays. Every
body is entitled to a certain amount
Of pleasure, and all work and no play
never does anybody any good. 1t is
not with any intention of denying one
self anything that Miss Caldwell at
tempts to divide the income, but simp.
~ as the means of better proportion
ing and generally improving the finan-
cial condition of those who arc inter-
eSted.
Men Are Spenders.
Generally speaking most men are
of the opinion that women ought to
be taught economy, but Miss Caldwell
reverses the old order of things,
and claims that the men are the real
spenders "Men do not know the
value of money after they begin to
earn $25 a week and up" claims Miss
Patterson. Men earning from $25
to $500 !: week save little, if any
thing. Single men with yearly In
comes OF $4,000 to $4,000, pay little
attention to the value received
proposition. but go right ahead. spend
ing without regard to what they re,
ceive in exchange. Married men are
better than single men. If every man
would try to make his simplest per-
sonal transaction strictly a business
purchase his cigars at special
prices, with discounts fir
his laundry work, secure bids from
tailors, and in every way conduct his
personal business in the same man
ner in which he handles his business
affairs, a great saving would be az
fected. Women are great fi1aaciers
compared to men. Every time a wo-
man buys anything, she tries to get
the greatest value for the money. and
she GENERALLY succeeds.
