LAWYERS THRONG
LENTEN SERVICES
High Tribute Paid TO Mem.
bers of District Bar by
Andrew Wilson.

Many lawyers attended the Mid
Lenten services yesterday at Keith's
Theater. Andrew Wilson spoke on
the problems of a lawyer and the
position the legal profession holds.
Mr.. Wilson paid a high tribute to
the members of the bar of the Dis
trict OF Columbia. He said they
were moved by those Christian
principles without which no man
could make a lasting and worthy
success. Quoting from the Acts, he
said. IF the council be of men il
will come to nought, but il II be
of God ye cannot overthrow it,"
The many problems which con-
front us today often need a lawyers
help TO find a solution, but no
lawyer can offer adequate counsel
in vital matters who does not found
it upon a belief in the need for
righteousness" he continued 1T is
right that we should all seek and
desire power, but only when we
want such power for the uplift of
mankind. rather than for merely
selfish purposes"
The Invocation was delivered by
Rev. c. s. Abbott. of the Church of
the Good Shepherd. Henry P. Blair
presided. Others on the platform
were Peyton Gordon. United States
district attorney; Francis II. Ste
phens. corporation counsel. and
James E. Archer. president of the
Bar Association of the District of
Columbia.

HAZING, AND HAZING.

Hazng has been abolished by the authori-
ties every year since the naval academy was
established. Hazing also has been abolished
every year since the military academy was
established at Wlst Point In other words,
hazing never has been abolished. and probab bly,
never will be while boy nature remains what
it is. There is Aazing, and. hazing. If the
opinion on hazing were to be asked of every
graduate of either government school, The ma
jority would be recorded in favor of hazing of
certain kind. There can be little doubt Of
this, for hazing is a leveler, and leveIing is
needed in democracy's schools.
Frequently the sons of rich men enter
West Point and Annapolis and take with them
into their new life the thought that they are
better than any fellow whose father is not a
Dives. The older cadets and midshipmen know
the value of democracy, and it always has been
their custom, if given chance, to maze the
aristocrats down to democracys plane. There
is, however, an occasional outburst of hazing
that is brutal. A cadet or midshipman who in
dulges in it ought to be kicked out of the
service. Neither the one nor the other has in
him the making of a good officer. Neyerthe-
less, any officer will say that certain kind OF
hazing makes the service safe for democracy

THE WOMAN WHO EARNS.

The old, old line of the old, old problem
plays, Its the woman who pays and pays"
hasn't very much value any more. even as a
funny line. Its the woman who spends and
spends" is more to the point. But, to be right
up-to-date, Its the woman who earns and
earns" There is scarcely any worth while
field of gainful occupation in which bright and
capable women are not now engaged. The
industrial change that has taken place in this
respect is greater than most of US realize, be-
cause it is probably only the beginning of
greater developments and because memories
are short, and we forget how different the sit
uation was only few years ago.
In one of his later books William Dean
Howells wrote something to the effect that a
woman who had to support herself was pitt
able thing, in that one phrase dating himself
more completely than he could ever realize
There is nothing ptiful today about the wo-
man who works. She is rather a most tri-
umphant being and her greatest trouble at the
outset of her career is to decide which of the
many things open to her she will choose. Only
the old-timers can realize how great the change
has been in one generation.

GLANDULAR ARISTOCRAT.

George Bernard Shaw, the irrepressible,
says that democracy always puts the wrong
men into places of power. Education, he
thinks, is not the remedy. for education makes
intellectual imbecies Of the governing classes.
Shaw would have our rulers selected by SER
les of blood tests and tests of gland secretions.
scientific jury then would select the fttest
for the highest offices, and the others would be
discarded or placed in less important offices in
the order of their test records.
This system, thinks the sarcastic philos-
opher. might give US a government OF super
Tor brains, an intelligent government But Sc
lection of men for Office by the unenlghtened
multitudes or the selfish cliques never will
Go it. Mr.. Shaw's, suggestion is, as he knows
better than anyone else. manifestly absurd in
this age. But there may come time, in the
distant future when places of honor and trust
will, through some exact system of choosing
be given to the most fit among the people
Utopia will be almost here then.
