The failure to pass the new constitution
framed by Mr.. Root and the convention
over which he presided did not seem to
feaze him outwardly in the least. He
says that as soon as II was rejected he
dismissed the matter from his mind and
has not given any thought TO It since.
But intimate friends OF the famous lawyer
tell me that he was really almost heart
broken over the outcome. It was his pet,
and its rejection he took as a blow in
the face, but he was too good a sport
to show 1t or to whine over/the re-
suit
A curious explanation OF why II was
rejected was given to me the other day
by Mr.. Justus Collins, the president of
the Smokeless Fuel Company.
III that constitution had been written
in short sentences and one-line para
graphs" said Mr.. Collins, the way you
write some, of your articles, 1t would
have passed. But It was written in SEN
tences a hundred words long and with
para graphs six inches long, and nobody
read 1t. That's why IL didn't pass-be-
cause they didn't read It. That kind OF
writing Is too hard to read and to un-
derstand The public wants short, crisp
stuff. Easy to read and easy to compre-
'hend. You ought to show Root how TO
write his next state paper"

New York, Jan. 2s-There are more
than one hundred law schools in this
country. Teaching in them are nearly
two thousand professors. and I'll bet that
with those two thousand law Instructors
the Hon. Elihu Root 10 the most un-
popular man In the United States.
He has not only rubbed them the
wrong way, but he has kicked their shins
and pulled their noses and boxed their
ears and slapped both cheeks at once
and then shook them TIL their teeth
chattered. All this happened in a speech
he made at the dinner of the New York
State Bar Association. 1t was so late
when he spoke that only meagre reports
of It appeared in the newspapers the next
day. Consequently his slap at the law
schools went upnoticed. The New York
editors missed II. but the people who
heard II did not.
And now comes the day of reckoning
for Mr.. Root. for his remarks are Just
seeping out and you may look for SONS
firework rejoinders from friends and
supporters of American law schools.
In speaking of the consequences of the
great emigration from continental Europe
70 this country, Mr.. Root said:
We or they Must Change.
TT is a slow process to change the
attitude Of the Individual toward Law,
toward political principles. II cannot be
done In a moment, and this great mass
of men, good men. good women, without
our traditions. but with entirely different
traditions, will change us unless We
change them.
They wiz hold these traditions untii
they are expelled by the spirit of Ameri-
can institutions. That Is a question OF
dime. And somebody has got to took
aHtsr 1t. Somebody has got to exhibit
BELIEF IN them, trust in them, devotion
to them, loyalty to them or you cannot
win this great body from continental
Europe to a true understanding of and
loyalty TO our institutions.
The change may well be seen In our
colleges and law schools, where there are
many professors who think they know
better what law ought to be and what
the principles of Jurisprudence ought to
be and what the political institutions Of
the country ought to be than the people
of England and America working out
their laws through centuries of life.
HaIf-baked Theorists.
And these men who think they know
It all, these half-baked and conceited
theorists, are teaching the boys In our
law schools and in our colleges to de-
spise American institutions"
