Naturally there was a, heated de-
bate before the American Bar Asso-
citation adopted Elihu Roots resolve
that admission to the bar should re-
quire two years of a college course
and three years in a recognized law
school Such a requirement in the
past would have deprived the country
of some of its greatest lawyers. but
the past is not the prescnt-nor the
future The need of keeping the
standard of admission to the bar high
ought to be apparent to all and the
education outlined would be useful
alike TO lawyer and client. At that
it would be only part of the good law
yer's requirements.

FROM SENSE OF DUTY

There is every reason aside from
General Woods we'll known vcracity
to believe that he said just what he
meant: Il desire to accept the gov
ernorship because | believe the Sc
robustness of the situation rises SUI
perior TO my personal wishes"
With a position Of distinction
awaiting him in this country, among
his friends and living under condi-
wish, to give this up and live and
work-for evidently there is no end
of work TO do in the Philippines-un-
der conditions such as those who
have attained General Woods age
would not naturally seek, is evidence
a plenty that the General is acting
under a high sense of duty.
There IS every indication that our
representatives n the Philippines
under the previous administration
did not uphold the morale estab-
lished at the beginning of our occu-
pancy and sustained under the Re-
publican administrations If not en-
couraged to believe the United States
was ready to withdraw from the
islands at least such a view was not
discouraged. neither were the Fill
3pinos impressed with the idea that
. higher state of development and Sc
eurity would be required of them be-
fore the American people would con-
Hder 1t proper to turn over the su-
pervision. A letting down all around
Is in evidence. 1t is a difficult effort
TO resume an erect bearing after be-
coming round shouldered. There is
nothing enviable about the task that
has been set for General Wood and
this fact deserves recognition.

RUSSIAN RELIEF

II rcitcrat;on Of description dulls
sensibihties the narrowing tales OF
the world war and the frcnzied ap-
peals of starving throughout the
world since the war must have hard
ened the hearts of people to an APP
preciable extent. Possibly that has
sonathing to do with the unrest and
duiled consciences in evidence. How
ever that may be, it is fortunate that
it has been possible at this time to
provide relief for the starving Rus
slams out of the store on hand, with
out waiting to make an appeal. Such
an appeal will probably be necessary
before the winter is over and should
be generously met
The Russians are said to be diff
cult people TO help Those who have
advanced aid to some Of the higher
classes in distress have noted that on
receipt of it they have spent it prodi-
gally in the expectation of more, but
the seriousness of the plight of thou
sands in that country must be con-
sidered We must remember the chill
dren dying through no fault of theirs
We also should remember that were
conditions reversed Russians un-
doubtedly would respond to the call
of distress We should be mindful of
the disadvantages under which that
people has struggled for centuries, of
the sacrifices they made in the war,
exposed to the enemy in front and
betrayed by traitors in the rear. SO
beset they struggled nobly and but
for them Germany undoubtedly would
have won the war.
One is reminded of the words writ
ten in the diary of An educated young
Russian killed in the war:
Perhaps there will come again
some one greater than Peter the
the world a sense of life and define
its direction; but it may be that the
formless masses, like overspreading,
swamps, will drown proud Europe
without creating a new God. That
would be the end of the present
world"
1t is indeed fortunate for the Rus
slams. for this country and for the
world, that the experience of Hoov-
er and the training of the regime he
has directed are available at this
time. They may help to restore in the
Russian mind sense of the old God
and some conception of the inevitable
results following certain causes.
The decision to administer Ameri-
can relief untrammeled by union with
that of the countries which are seek
ing by all means to secure trade ad-
vantages in Russia is wise. England
and France have not the available
resources America possesses and
their own condition precludes their
doing as much as we are capable of
doing Co ordination with them
should be possible but to delay the
work which we are now ready to do
until they may be able to render act
ua assistance would be unwise.
