MICHIGAN's NEW SENATOR.

Gov. Groesbeck OF Michigan has
made popular choice in nominat
ing James Couzens, Detroit's non
partisan Mayor, to succeed to the
Senate vacancy occasioned by Tru-
man H. Newberry's resignation.
Mr.. Couzens is one of the multi
millionaires with whom Henry Ford's
fabulous success has sprinkled De-
troit, but he is also salient per-
sonality in his own right. A man
who on modest wage could accumu-
late $1,000 before 80 and could risk
it all on the idea of an obscure me-
chanic, as Couzens did when he
plunged on Henry Ford, has those
qualities of thrift and daring which
combined lead on to fortune ire
sistibly. With or without Ford,
Couzens was destined to get out of
the rut.
Another interesting and promis-
ing fact of this mans character was
revealed when he quit the Ford or
ganization and sold out his interes:
in that super-Midas adventure be-
cause of his differences with the deo
ex machina. And then there is his
record as Mayor of Detroit. The
high light in this episode of his ca
reer was the purchase by the city
of the street railway company and
at more than one-third less than the
first price. Yet the greatest service
of Couzens' mayorality, we imagine,
is the spirit of progress and conf
dence with which Detroit is now ami
mated. The city has entered upon a
superlative program of improvement
which contemplates an expenditure
of $500, 100000 and, in the Couzens'
philosophy, when that is done more
will follow.-Post-Dispatch.

A ROAD RECORD.

The State Highway Department
made a construction record during
the week ending November 4, when
20 miles of graded earth road was
completed and more than eight miles
of hard roadway. The figures are
not impressive, perhaps, but, like
Rome, roads are not built in a day.
They take time.
Information with a greater appeal
to the Imagination is given In the
statement that work is now in pro.
gress on 246 road projects on which
a force of 1000 men is employed
Such report enables us to visual
ize the progress of this great enter
prise.
We have evidence at hand, too
of the value to be derived from the
big investment we are making. Illi-
nois, which authorized road bond
issue several years before Missouri
and plunged into construction with
extraordinary energy, now has cross.
state hard-surfaced roads that are
attracting profitable tourist traffic
besides accelerating business of al.
most every character. The citizens
of our neighboring State are all road
believers now. The roads have con.
yinced them.
Missouri Is behind Illinois, but
she is on her way and wf1l reap the
same benefits.

MISS PROVOST FLAPPER
IN DON'T GET PERSONAL
Great Dane Has Important
Role IN the Picture.

CENTRAL-MiSs Marie Provost In
"DOn't Get Personal" Universal pro-
duetiOn.
The difficulty with this picture Is that
one can't drop into the theater to view
1t and pick It Up AT almost any point, as
one can with many pictures. unless
ones brain has just been drugged by see
ing another film. Perhaps that is an in-
dication that this cinema comedy is very
subtle. II one had not had an advance
notice from the press agent when one
ran into the photoplay along about the
middle. one would never have guessed
that the frivolous flapper who seemed
TO be taking up very much of the tore
ground had been sent by her father to
an estimable family in the country--ob-
yiously the outskirts of Los Angeles
because she was infected with the
Broadway virus. whatever that Is
That seemed rather obscure, because
so many things kept happening and
leading nowhere in particular and also
because there seemed to be no particular
reason for the flapper to be there any
how. True, she was supposed TO become
viltuous vamp In order to rescue the
designing adventures. but II seemed
that she could not have done this unless
she had the assistance of a very large
and clever dog. In fact that dog, which
was intelligent enough to grasp the
rather complicated directions whispered
into his ear by the heroine, seemed
capable of carrying along the story
without her. For one thing, he did not
appear to be always chewing gum. as
Miss Marie Provost did or whistling,
another of her deliberately cute tricks.
But perhaps the Great Dane would not
have looked so fetching snuggled up in
a chair with a ulSulele.
The character she depicted was con-
stantly exclaiming that broadway would
take to this" or that, giving the thor
oughfare q personality-such as its den-
izens never do except in fiction. More
over, she was constantly breaking out
with new schemes to elevate the hand
some young man of the house above his
priggish and pedantic personality, prin-
cipaliy through the shimmy, since 1t is
tenet of fllmdom that jazz is far more
desirable than the Greek classics.
Though there was nothing on the pro-
gram and little in the picture to indi-
cate this. that excellent comedian, t.
Roy Barnes, was suspected of playing
the male lead. Apparently this is an
other OF those filters until Foolish
Wives" has been properly groomed for
this house.

The Majesty
of the LaO

THE Institutes Of Justinian,
i the legal code of the Ro-
mans, named three precepts:
honeste vivere Ito live honor
ably); alterum non laedere
(not to injure ones neighbor) (;
SUM quique tribure Ito give
each man his due). Down to
this very day all honorable law
yers have accepted these pre-
cepts as rules of life for the
guidance Of which they thank
the early teachings Of their law
school.
/ have sometimes felt oppressed
with a sense of the responsibility
of our law teachers and have
always had profound respect
for their calling. For what, after
all, are they doing when they ex-
pound the law? What is law?
Richard Hooker's tribute has
come down through three cen
turies and is still inspiring: "Her
seat" he says, sis the bosom of
God; all things in heaven and
earth do her homage, the very
least as feeling her care, and the
greatest as not exempt from her
power"
The teaching of law, regarded in
this light, is indeed an exalted
calling, and should not be ap-
preached by any university with
out reverence and honor.
New York University has
sought diligently to maintain
the traditions of this honorable
profession. It has kept the
faith and is known by its works.
1t has furnished fundamental
instruction to many judges now
Ion the bench-federal, state, and
municipal; it has trained in the
law United States senator's ana
governors of states. The Bar of
this city counts many a man who
by his personal example, influ-
enced by the early precepts
taught in New York Univers ty
Law School, is elevating and
maintaining the standards of his
profession.
Today this Law School includes
in its Faculty men of high ideals
and attainments, supplemented
by a corps Of distinguished prac-
titioners as lecturers on special
topics, and, what is equally inn
portant, of peculiar skill in teach
ing. More severe requirements
both for entrance and for gradua-
ton have recently been put into
effect, and give assurance that
the future work of this School
will be even more efficient than
that of its honorable past.

TEN "of direct shipments assures
packers supplies of hogs that en-
able them to manipulate and de-
press market prices below their
normal level, thereby causing
heavy loses to all producers"
The Armour company, in reply

private yards and has denied that
he intent or effort of such oper-
'tion has been to depress prices
