TooMBs UTTERs ONE ERROR
Noted for Accuracy, Famous PubIieist
Makes Mistake in Georgia Cor
stitutionaI Convention.

In the Georgia constitutional con-
vention of 1877 so usually accurate a
publicist as General Robert Toombs ut
tered a singular error. he was con-
tending in a speech for enough courts
in Georgia to assure speedy justice
and at one point in the debate he said ::
81 only desire to say one word. SIX
hundred and fifty years ago our rude
ancestors met upon plain at Runni-
mede and established a great system
of judiciary in one line Of bad Latin.
They made King John say, we will
sell to none, we will deny to none, we
will delay to none, right and justice,
and we must make as many courts as
are necessary to carry out those grand
utterances."
Actually there is no "plain" at Run
nimede, as those who have visited the
historic locality know. Anciently there
was a running-mede, or meadow, on
the Middlesex shore Of the Thames,
where races were pulled off. Possibly
the doughty barons held some mass
meeting in the meadow, but history
holds fast that the Magma Charta was
signed on an island off shore, nearer
the Surrey bank, and which has ever
since been Known as Charter island.
In London in 1909 there was sale OF
the island and the wonder was voiced
in the public press why the govern
ment did not purchase it and erect
unon it some suitable memorial.

Catherine, who lives in the same

WOMAN YEoMEN ENTITLED
TO THE PAY DUE POSITION
Controller Warwick's Ruling on En-
p1oyment Of Women in the
Navy Reserve Corps.

Women who are doing yeoman's
duty-literally, as yeomen in the
United States Navy-will be paid their
proper salaries. Also each will get
uniform allowances. which is not al
lowed TO female. nurses in the naval
reserve.
It was narrow shave that gives
military standing to these woman yeo-
men who have been enlisted in the
Naval Reserve Corps. The controller of
the Treasury. w. w. Warwick, init
mates most clearly that if it were not
war time he would rule them out of
service.
Indeed. in view, alone, of the war
policy of modern nations from time
immemorial which is against the en-
ployment of women in the public armed
FORCES of the United States" comments
Controller Warwick, +" in positions or
capacities even only potentially or pos
sibly combatant. it is difficult to be-
lieFe that Congress. merely by the use
OF the word persons intended to run
counter to that policy by authorizing
the enrolment of women for service
in combatant positions with .the naval
forces.
While there appears to be grave
doubt as to the legality of enrolling
women as yeomen in the navel coast
defense reserve. even though, owing
to the place of active service of such
women the combatant character of the
positions in which they have been en-
ioiieu may De merely nominal, yet the,
nation is at war and it is presumed
that the women here involved have
been assigned to positions made va
cant by men whose services may now
be utilized. as yeomen or otherwise, on
shlpboard or elsewhere. in the zone of
actual hostilities
consequently. l am unwilling to
make ruling. in the state of affairs
brought about by the enrolment of
these women, that might interfere in
the slightest degree with naval onera-
tons in connection with the prose
cution of the war"
Since such women serve in the place
or enlisted men. and presumably under
titled, in the opinion of Controller
warwick, to the benefits of the law
with regard to uniform gratuity. This
can be done by providing uniforms. or
II more convenient to the navy. by a
credit of $50, as provided for enlisted
men
