Prices as established by Federal Fuel
Distributor c. E. Spens have not been

According to advices from Wash

attention Of Mr.. Spens, who addressed
a letter to all anthracite operators
calling upon them to entirely elm
mate or reduce to minimum all such
practices.
The majority of local dealers buy
direct from the operators, Mr. Maloy
said, although small minority obtain
their supply from Pennsylvania brok-
ers, over whom the local committee
has no control. No cases of specula-

Industrial Status Of State Improves.

Marked increases in employment in

ported by the Department of Labor
for October, in special study made
public in Washington.
Increases in employment, in Balti-

ISOLATED products, paper and printing
and tobacco manufacture. There was
a slight falling off in employment in
food and similar manufactures, and
in iron, steel, metal and metal prod
ucts, while conditions in stone, clay

For the State generally the depart

Educating for the Law.
College Training Unattainable BY
Many Ambitious Youths.

To The New YoRK HERALD. With
regard 70 your editorial article "The
Case of a Poor Young Man." wherein
you give quasi approval to the recon.
edict OF the American Bar Association
decreeing that a prospective candidate
for the bar should have ''at least two
years OF college training" it seems TO
me there will be much dissent from
the conclusions Of that body.
With all due respect to the superior
Judgment of Chief Justice Taft and
Elihu Root, the most prominent Of the
advocates OF the preliminary require
n1ent in question, ! think It win work
a great hardship to myriads OF poor
but deserving young men. There are
many beautiful tributes to the law by
Hooker and others. but / consider the
finest is that by Edmund Burke, who
calls 1t "the noblest profession OF un-
provided genius" The adjective "un-
provided" Is the gist of the remark.
Having completed a course at the
New York Law School I can speak
with personal knowledge Of the ante
cedents OF members OF my class. These
numbered upward OF 100, the majority
OF whom were engaged at business dur
ing the day. but who were enabled to
attend the afternoon sessions OF the
school through the kindness of their
employers. BY far the greater number
were sons of poor parents. Quite q
number, like myself, were compelled TO
leave school at an early age. and never
saw the inside of college.
I have followed with interest the
careers OF many OF them. and they are
credit to the legal profession as well
as to their alma mater. Yet under the
ruling OF the American Bar Association
these young men would perhaps to-day
be following some other and less con-
genial business calling.

Bert Williams's Stage Art.

The late BERT WILLIAMS amused
generation of playgoers who looked
on him as an exponent Of the native
humor of the American negro. Yet
he was born in the West Indies and
brought up in San Francisco; so that
he was little under the influences
which are supposed TO create the
dialect and the mode OF thought Of
the Southern darky. But he set
out to win his way as a negro en-
tertainer and was SO successful that
he became the most popular of the
negro comedians the stage has known
in the last twenty years.
WILLIAMS acquired the ability to
indicate the simplicity, the Incidence.
the credulity of the negro, which are
important elements in his stage sue
cess. He has been accused OF hav-
Ing refined his artistic methods to
degree that seemed to rob them Of
spontaneity. Yet he gained by this
process the great advantage of dis
tinctness. No listener was ever in
doubt as to his meaning. When he
intoned one of his melancholy COM
plants against the hardships of his
lot, one not only caught every word
Of the text but enjoyed just as COM
pletely the sentiment of his song.
He had his specially, just as every
dramatic artist has after the direc-
tion Of his talents had made itself
definite. He was above all the mel
ancholy negro. He was the unhappy
victim of shrewish wife or the
unlucky loser at game OF craps
not conducted in accordance with
the stoutest principles OF honesty.
Ee was for one reason or another
always unhappy. Luck was always
against him.
It was his irresistibly humorous
expression OF this mood that won
him his large following. He used
cosmetics to certain extent on the
stage and to scores Of his admirers
his negro origin was unknown. Yet
he was negro in every other phase of
his stage career. The sunny indif-
ference Of the race to the troubles Of
life was a phase that did not lie in
his gamut. He proved by his sue
cess that the troubles Of the negro,
expressed in their latest fashion In
the blues which are such popular
forms Of negro song, can be made
as diverting as any other aspect Of
life.
He leaves no successor among the
members Of his own race. There
have recently been many successful
negro comedians. Numerous as they
are, none has attained the unique
eminence Of WILLIAMS. He was a
black star in the theatrical flrma-
ment Of this country II ever there
was one. The task OF carrying on
the work OF the blackface funny man
will hereafter be the white come
dams burden.

Cermany's Presidential Election.

Chancellor WRTn has announced
that within a comparatively short
time Germany will proceed to the
| election of a successor to its Chief
Executive. FRIEDRICH EBERT This
means that the nation will make by
popular vote for the first time its
choice OF President for the new
Germany.
President EBERT was chosen by the
National Assembly which convened
at Weimar in February. 1919. TO
the Office which he has since held.
He was then the man who seemed
the most available. IL not the most
logical candidate, and he was sworn
into Office six months afterward, Au-
gust 23, 1919. That for almost two
years and a half he has continued to
hold this Office and that Germany
during critical reconstruction
period has contented herself with a
purely provisional President. pro
claimed President" ia due to series
OF circumstances that appear pc
culiariy German.
or first importance is the reason
which anybody understanding the
German psychology will appreciate,
the German dislike OF change OF
the head OF government or OF rulers.
Ii thus became necessary that the de-
mand for a President by popular
vote should be not only urgent but
advisable and judicious. In the
next place the question OF candidates
is important. Is there not danger to
the new republic in the presentation
OF a separate candidate by each OF
the eight parties? Or, as the Ger
man politicians themselves expressed
il, is not the advantage in favor OF
the two rather vigorous reactionary
parties. united at least on the return
OF some form Of monarchial control,
as against the remaining six recog-
nized Republican parties SO antago.
nistic upon local or national is-
sues as to make union impossible?
Again, the nation Is divided upon the
matter Of when the change from one
President to another shall take place;
the people agreed that August or the
midsummer Is Of all seasons the
most unsuitable, but neither do they
accept as solution Of this problem
the suggestion Of che early spring, as
in the United States.
There is something more than
The New York herald., 1922-03-07

shrewd politics in the Chancelior's
suggestion that the election should
be held as soon as German Upper
Silesia passes to German admins
tration. Here Is solved industrial
problem which has a meaning alike
to the workingmen of the socialistic
parties and to the capitalistic classes
as represented by SHINES and his
friends OF the reactionary Peoples
party. Upper Silesia means more
than the mere territory which is
included: il stands for Germany's
industrial situation. 1t represents
the best argument with which the
coalition party could enter upon the
campaign.
Many OF the men who we're once
favorably mentioned as EBERr's sue
cessor have passed from the German
political field. vow HIyDENBURG's
name is now scarcely mentioned,
and little is heard Of Admiral voS
ANAhIE~R 6hA thC OtACk OIu uAhCl
leaders of Prussia. That WRTH
might prove formidable candidate
is generally believed II he would con-
sent to have his name used. DR..
RosEN, DR.. RATHENAU and Wow KEfIR,
former Bavarisn Premier, are men
toned as possible candidates. But
in all the political calculations it is
inevitable that the chances OF FRrED-
RICH EBERT as his own successor
should have foremost consideration.
He is said to be weary of his job
he declares that he has passed
through all the vicissitudes of the
Office except attempted assassination,
and that he will gladly step aside for
somebody else. But considering the
present German temper there is some
doubt If he will be permitted to fol-
low this avowed intention. He has
done as well as any other man could
have done and that may be satisfac-
tory to new Germany.
