THE SAFER WAY.
Editor e. Paso Herald:
Is il not selfishness at one spot that
causes any objection 10 the closing Of
Main street crossing from san Fran
cisco street over the four railway
tracks,
Consider this more carefully-the
danger as it is now: the very slight
longer distance for the vehicle or foot
passenger to proceed along Franklin
street to the safe crossing at North
Santa Fe, FL Paso or oregon streets,
when desiring to go to the south OF
the railroad tracks and vice versa,
when going west via West Main str e.
to cross over at the Mesa, oregon, FL
Paso or Santa Re viaduct crossins ;
safely. and then proceed west via
Franklin street, and what Is now
called West Main street" which should
be considered and called West Fra =
lin street
II owned property on that street,
I would be glad to see that dangerous
and really non necessary crossing
closed for the safer way, really quicker

a LAWYER
Bz Little Christ

(By Little Chris.)
Lawyers are men who try cases
IN court
Some lawyers Will not take a
case unless there il Justice on the
side of the client-but nobody
knows who these lawyers are. for
none OF them IN Fl Paso are starv-
ing.
Some lawyers help a client TO get
money from another and some help
the client TO keep from giving up
the money. Both lawyers get money
for doing this and the clients usual
" come out about as they would
have done IL they hadn't gone into
court.
some lawyers think II better
business to collect fees for keep
ing client from being ar
rested than 10 take a fee after he
is arrested to get him out OF his
trouble. II either case. with the
average man, a lawyer earns all
There Is an old saying that in
engaging a lawyer you must speci-
fy In advance whether you wish
him 70 furnish the evidence or
whether you are to furnish IL. This
is said BY the profession TO be n
libel on lawyers, who usually find
their clients too dense to be able TO
supply NAAEAEC WI III lE4A4E
Justice is a word written over the
doors OF some courthouses. but 1t
is nothing a lawyer ever appeals
for in behalf of a client: II Is
usually the last thing either Of
them wants.
Lawyers are not necessarily bad
men merely because they get bad
men out Of all. Jurors are more to
blame than lawyers for this.
Lawyers have 10 90 to a uni
versity or work hard in the office

good old days the applicant who
wanted 10 practice, merely had 70

board and be certified as qualified.

WESLEY GAVE
CONCERT AT
C0NV0CATION
Excellent Numbers by Mem
bers of Conservatory
+ Faculty. ~

The regular convocation at the
University of North Dakota this
morning was rare treat and was
greatly enjoyed by all who had the
good fortune to be present. and they
were many for the audience was
large.
The program was given by some of
the music faculty Of Wesley College
conservatory, Miss Cordelia Hulburd,
head Of the piano department.: Pro-
fessor H. Alden Enyeart, head Of the
department Of voice; Professor J. A.
Buchholz, head Of the violin depart
ment, and Professor Paolo Conte,
head Of the department of organ and
theory.
Dean Vernon p. squires presided in
the absence Of President Frank L.
McVey, and read the 148th Psalm.
Miss Hulbtird Plays.
The recital began with two piano
numbers by Miss Hulburd, "Etude"
by H. A. Wollenhaupt. and Valse, Op.
r34. No. I, by Maurice Moszkowski.
The first, a tone study. in its soft
delicacy was quite in accord with the
soft spring sunshine that streamed in
on the pianist and her instrument. It
was gentle and sweet. and yet show
ed the perfection of technique which
was later most evident in the Mosz-
kowski valse. In the last number one
felt the charm of the familiar melody
which fiutters in and out like bird
song throughout the selection. There
Is q sureness and poise in Miss HUI
burd's playing that reminds one of
the great Carreno. her teacher. The
masterful handling Of the massive
chords. contrasted with the exquisite
delicacy Of the soft notes. The two
numbers formed q distinctive con-
trtbution to the mornings program.
Enyeart's Songs.
Professor Enyeart sang . group of
three songs, "None but the Lonely
Heart" by Tschaikowslky. 'aFhe Dew
Rubenstein. In the first number the
purity Of tone. the sympathy. ana tn.
delightfully."- clear enunciation recalled
Oscar Seagle most forcefully. As the
numbers progressed one forgot the
splendid technique in the enjoyment
OF the fine rich quality Of the voice.
Violin Numbers.
As his violin number Professor
Buchholz chose the last movement of
the 7th concerto by DeBeriot. In spite
OF the handicap of using bow which
he picked up at the last minute, his
own having been broken Just before
the recital, Professor Buchholx played
this number 90 artistically that an
encore was demanded. He responded
with Pierne's ssrenade.
