The Riqht Foot Foremost.

Putting the right foot foremost was an old Roman ordination originally regulating the entry of persons into a house or other building and based upon the supposition that the left was un- lucky. A boy was kept at the door to see that no one entered the house left foot first" The phrase quoted is thus seen to be very ancient.

T aft S Letter.

A warning against becoming known as 8 ''slick lawyer" and also against advertising for business was sounded Thursday by former President William Howard Taft in a lecture before. an Albany law school. .-
 Avoid as you would a contagious desease the reputation of being a slick lawyer" he said. "If you have done your best in case, you can school yourself to defeat and you can pluck out of that defeat lessons for future &C., tion. But if you have a secret sense of having won by slick trick, you have dulled your nice sense for professional fairness and you will never gain that high standing at the bar which you ought to value as it's most precious prize. " s.
 Advertising, declared MT. Taft, was unethical and likely to increase the number of law suits, therefore should be discouraged. Also he mentioned that advertising would increase expenses of lawyers. = =
 -' If there had been congressional in vestigations in Ciceros time he would not have died so wealthy, "was as near as MT. Taft came to mentioning politics.

HIGH CLASS MUSICAL
COMEDY WILL BE GIVEN

II. L. Brown, who successfully staged
"The Elk s Tooth" here last year, is
again engaged to produce the show this
year. "The Band from Amsterdam" is
new, founded on present day matters of
interest and dealing with conditions
as existing in all sections Of the coun-
try. The actual conditions as set forth
in the play are similar to those in
Portland now-the fight between the
citizens for public market and the
interests who are endeavoring to secure
an auditorium instead. The little Dutch
band in the piece reminds one of the
hungry seven in Portland.
"The Band from Amsterdam is a
high class musical comedy differing in
every way from the variety we are most
accustomed to seeing The musical
score is probably the most tuneful of
and contains more catchy songs than
any piece given heretofore. In fact,
we cannot now recall road show con-
tanning as many real song hits, and,
with one exception, every number was
written for this play and has never
been printed or put on sale.
Remarkable progress is being made
at rehearsals every evening, both in
the songs and dances of the chorus,
and the lines and actions by the princi-
pals

him paroled, perhaps pardOned. Then
he would appear ON the vaudeville
stage or become drawing card in jour
nalism.
The programme was all very inter
esting and sobful and heroic--very
much like one of those daydreams in
which romantic children arrange their
own funerals, amid universal grief,
after some deed of derring.do.
And the deplorable part of it all is
that this minded, though daring
and hard-hearted, young criminal had
reason to believe that he might be able
to do just what he planned. For the
very same thing had already been done
and was being done.
He had read how twenty-five thou
sand signatures had been appended to
a petition in favor of an infamous viii
liam who beat and kicked to death his
young bride of month because she
would not yield to the drunken desires
of fellow beast-and he had read that
the petition was granted by the Act
ing Governor of the State.
He had read, day after day, that So
ciety is the real criminal, and the rob-
Der and assassin the mere irresponsible
creature of his environment.
lie had seen, every day, columns de.
voted to apologizing for crime and to
lionizing criminals, and he had seen
scoundrels as depraved as himself lee
turing, issuing books, exploiting their
shame without shame and impudently
setting themselves up in print and on
the platform as advisers and exhorters
of honest men and women.
And seeing and hearing all this, this
young man embraced life Of robbery
and assassination as natural and in
viting high road to distinction and
sympathy, with the incidental promise
of flourishing career as a moral up

WESTERN FUEL COMPANY
GENEROUS WITH ITS GIFTS
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1Hp.1


San Francisco, Jan. S.-The Western
Fuel company's list of beneficiaries ex.
tended not only to engineers of various
liners sailing from this port, but reach
ed beyond to Government employees
themselves, according to evidence pre-
sented late yesterday by the Govern
ment s prosecutors in the trial Of the
fuel company's officers, charged with
having defrauded the government of
duties on imported coal and "draw-
backs;" four custom-house employees
and one army officer, it was testified,
were recipients of the company's bene-
faction.
The list submitted contained among
others the following names: E. Farmer,
clerk to collector of customs; D. Fin
negan, inspector; A. H. Freund, assist
ant weigher; t. B. Twigg, assistant
weigher, and Major Grant, former as
sistant to Major Young, of the United
States army transport service, at this
port.
The donations were in the form Of
coal and the dates on which the gifts
were made began in 1907 and extended
to 1918.
By the admission of this evidence
the government expects to show that
the Western Fuel company sought by
means of the gifts to suppress informa-
tion relative to the short .weighting of
coal discharged into the bunkers of
ships at San Francisco.
The governments list of fuel COM
pany donations as read to the jury by
Theodore Roche, special prosecutor, in
cluded the names of many employees
of the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
one of its biggest patrons. Engineers
and shore officials of the steamship
company are mentioned.
