is believed the legitimate lawyer would be relieved; the judges of our courts would be relieved, and the people who suffer injustice because of ignorance would be relieved im- mensely.
 Much of the dissatisfaction with government comes from ignorance. If free use of Municipal Legal Aid Bu- reaus was made Q great deal of this dissatisfaction would be dispelled. It is Just another case where education provided for by the government, will help solve many difficulties.
 Until municipal legal aid comes, however, persons ignorant of the law, persons who think they are wise" hut are not. and foreigners ignorant of our customs as we'll as the law, would save themselves q great deal of trouble by consulting a reputable lawyer in cases of vital importance to themselves. And they would find that neither the lawyer nor his fee would be as formidable as some are inclined to suppose.

THE SAME OLD WILLIAM.

The ex-Kaiser was chopping down a tree. His axe fell with an es- pecially heavy thud. He raised his eyes in which there gleamed the old look of determination. Chips from the tree darted in all directions.
 That is the way heads. will fly to the right and left when I return to Germany" he muttered.
 The report of this incident comes from a prominent junker who visited William recently at his estate at Doorn. it is said. And the stofy is not unbelievable.
 Men of vastly inferior power than that of the former kaiser have died years after their loss of what strength they had possessed, still believing that the day would come when they would return to the old scenes. rule with the same hand and listen to the plaudits of sycophants as formerly. Can there be any doubt that in the brain of the former ruler of Ger many there remains the indestructi- ble conviction that it is impossible a man of his qualities will end his life

in comparative solitude? Why is he trying to keep in good physical con- dition by chopping down trees? No remorse drives him to activity of this kind. It is his longing to be at his best, which, by the way, he thinks is the best in the world, when he gets his chance once again.
 Every evidence of world restless ness; every attack against peaceful government reported in the press, and every indication that men are not satisfied fixes more firmly than ever in his mind tAe conviction that the world will not be right-will not be settIed-until the dogs of the people are held in the firm leash of which he holds the end. He believes he will "come back" and in the coming he gloats over the thought of the heads that will fly. He is the same old William, but he will find, as he still chops trees in solitude, that it is not the same old world.

MUNICIPAL LEGAL AID.

The American Bar association has been informed that there is a grow ing demand in all cities for Munich pal Legal Aid Bureaus.
 In othe- words the people want cities to furnish places where they may be informed of their rights with out the formidable "trip to law yer"
 Of course the reputable lawyer would be glad of the establishment of such bureaus. He has no desire to make a mountain cut of mole hill when a person. ignorant of the law applies to him, expecting to have to pay a large fee for information that should be his without recourse to a legal advisor. The ''shyster law yer" may attempt to and succeed in making the man believe that com plicated legal steps are necessary and may thus obtain good fee for his advice.
 But there are few in the legal pro- fession nowadays engaged in such practices. There are too many inn portant legal matters, in which the lawyers services are really needed. to make him feel that he can stoop to such tactics.
 The lawyer Is necessary. Munich pal Legal Aid Bureaus would recognize this fact. and seekers of information would be referred to them in proper case. Where the research of a law yer was not needed to set the inquirer straight, and where constant atten- ton to the procedure and different steps in litigation was not necessary. the Municipal Le gal Aid Bureau would answer the purpose.
 This Is |, distinct plan to help the poor and the ignorant. Foreigners arc without Knowledge of our laws. The Municipal Legal Aid Bureau would be a great help to them. Ii

WHERE HE BELONGS.

Alexander Berkman is working as a section hand on n railroad in Rus sia. Either that or he is in jail The Russian authorities thus treated the Reds deportcd from the U. s.
 It is casting no aspersions on good section hands to say that work of this sort is what Berkman should be doing. It is hard work Anyone who has even "gandy danced" knows this. And Borkman. the former as- sociate of Emma Goldman. should be doing hard work. We couldn't make him do it in America, but they have been successful in Russia, 1t is said-which is one of the best things one has heard about Russia in a long time.
 And speaking of Berkman on-such a job, one is inclined tc feel that it wouldn't be a bad thing if Russia could make Emma do her share. They must need socks over there, and thero are probably a lot of floors that need scrubbing. Again. anyone who has ever scrubbed a good sized floor. man or woman. will agree that Emma would be we'll and fittingly employed if she were cofnpelled to work at this sort of think. Knitting socks would be too easy.
 Scrub women and section hands should feel complimented at this reconition of the difficulties of their labor. Such hard-working men. and women in America are deservedIy rel spocted. Goldman and Berkman ara not fit to associate with them. But 1t brings some satisfaction to thinl of Berkman. crow-bar or pick swing ing; Goldman with her scrub-rag ir| hand compelled to "change water every two minutes

CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.

Viewing the Hartford Republican, Convention from a rather broad angleI 1t would appear that a New Britain man might have a. chance at the Rel publican nomination for congres{ from the first congressional districtI Everett J. Lake. before the Hartford convention. was mentioned as 2 strong possibility to be the c. O. r. nominee for honors at Washington. New Britain was forced to the background for party harmony, and the same thing might happen again but indi- cations seem to point to the pyscho- logical moment for New Britain candidate to step to the foreground and use as an argument the events of the Hartford convention. A Repub- lican candidate for congress from New Britain would certainly be a novelty and would go a long way too for party harmony-the major premise of all political arguments advanced by some politicians.
 As yet. no candidate for New Brit ain has announced himself as being desirous of securing the nomination, but 1t is not too late to start now. and some political arguments can be advanced in his favor.
