Sage and Sane Sayings

look 10 it that your communities

bitrary standards upon the men whom
you wish TO use. DO not reduce men
to standards. Let them be- free. Do not
compel them by conventions. Let them
wear any clothes they please and look
like anything they chose; let them do
anything that decent and an honest
man may do without criticism: do not
laugh at them because they do not look
like YOU. or talk like YOU. or think like
YOU. They are frccr for that circum-
stance. because, an English writer
ha- said: You may talk of the tyranny

The words, uttered by b. B. Webb,

just outside Of Washington, were
heard distinctly by II. Il. Shreeve in
the Eiffel Tower $500 miles away.
As Shreeve listened Lloyd Espen-
schied, in Honolulu, 1900 miles from
Washington, heard Webb speak. Thus
by few simple words Paris and Homo

for about Is minutes.
A score of reporters with telephone
receivers clamped to their ears sat
around a long, green table in the Of
fee of Theodore N. Vail, president of

engineer for the great corporation, was
in Chicago. Over a special wire Mr..

Tried To Make Law Workable.

Attorney General Brown made the
following statement regarding the de.
cisions in the sole nominee clause Of
the non-partisan judicial nomination
Act on which he had rendered an
opinion: MY opinion was given after
a careful consideration Of the Act in
question by all Of the lawyers Of the
Department of the Attorney General
and by the expert election official of
the Department Of State, which De.
partment formally had requested my
opinion thereof, and the method Of de-
termining the sole nominees was
adopted as the only one which would
make the law workable No other has
been presented thus far The court,
after elaborate arguments and most
detailed discussion by counsel for
parties in interest, suggests none, but
declares the Act incapable Of enforce
ment
MY duty as the law officer Of the
Commonwealth was to Cdyise way
to comply with the law, not one to
annul it. The action Of the Court
which voids the Act was within its
province, but, under the circumstances,
was not within mine"
