The Seattle Star Lawyer-Made Law Business By R. F HE lawyers of the United States have j T always had practical control of the legislation of the nation and of every State in it, They have been peculiarly charged with the control of the laws felating to court procedure, and the ad ministration of justice. And in this, the field in which they make thelr livings they have made the most horrible botch in all the numerous titles of the law, Our Jaws deny justice. They throttle justice They delay justice, They still make the lives and fortunes of litigants the pawns in a game of wits between lawyers.—Her- bert Quick Yes, and no, Herbert. The most hor- ible botch, so far as speedy justice is “concerned. The finest kind of a job, so far as law practice is concerned Would you expect lawyers to so legis- Tate that practice of law would be easy and unremunerative? Denying, throt- tling, delaying of justice make law busi- ness, don’t they? Would you expect doc- tors to prohibit prescriptions, surgeons to taboo vermiform appendicices, dentists to repudiate teeth, brewers to legislate for free beer? The colleges turn out young lawyers by the thousands, every year. They've ail got to eat. Most them go into polit first thing. They get into coun cils, legislatures and congresses, where they make fodder for lawyers. Simplify court procedure, hasten the administration of justice, enact direct, unimpeachable Jaws, and you do take away the meat on which they live. Just as the liquor interests’ activity and arrogance in politics have brought upon themselves most radical regulation, the rs in legislation will finally establish radical reforms in the selection of legisla tors, in court procedure and in the admin- Paine | istration of justice. The people cannot be ridden forever, by any element, and when they throw their riders, they throw them heads down. Some of the best men in “the legal profession see this and are al- feady trying to progress from a condition cond-clase matter per month up to ¢ mos Needs, Wants and Happiness S' IME folks say That if we all had everything we need We would all be happy Some folks are mistaken Having everything we need Would make few of us happy It’s not just the things we need that would bring happiness It's thathings we want, that we think are necessary to such a state of being Vhere’s a whole lot of difference Between what we really need And what we want The chances are that if every one of us had everything we want today we would be unhappy’ tomorrow By that time we would something the other fellow had that we didn’t have And we would want that But if every one of us had everything we really need And would proceed to get all covetous- ness, envy and greed out of our systems And get love, charity, mercy and kind- ness into our systems And would keep the latter on the job all the time Well-—true happiness would be more general than it ever has been have seen Her Uniform E HAVE been mightily interested in preparedness as women see it. We have read all about the self-defense leagues, public drills, practice with fire- arms, and the other martial enthusiasms of women which are sweeping country Then one day we chanced on this de scription of a drill officer’s uniform “She wore tight fitting knickerbockers, puttees, and a skirt that came to the knees and rippled with up-to-date-fullness She wore a white silk shirt, a snug coat of khaki, a campaign hat, big pearl ear- rings, and boots with high French heels.” Shade of Napoleon! Who would dare remind the ladies that “an army is no ff} stronger than its feet”? | across STAR—FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1916.

With a« ten energy, born perhaps of the ague that was racking his body and of the weakness that he realized was fast overcoming him, he spoke. When he had finished, Hib staggered to his feet. “It's a lie he blustered; “a lie cooked up by yonder dog and by that half-breed cub.

A look of terror swept across his face. ‘Then, before even Alagwa could reach him, he toppled to the floor, Instantly Alagwa was on her knees beside him. “Jack! Jack!” she walled. “Jack! Jack!” Williams glowered at the pair in joy. Then he stooped picked the letter from Jack's loow ened fingers. For a moment he scanned it; then he looked up. “T reckon this {s what knocked him,” he jeered. “This here letter sayst “The girl you was sweet on ain't married.

She was not uneasy about Jack. The surgeon had seen him and had declared that bis setback could be no more than temporary. Her mind was made up. Since Williams’ rev- elation she had felt that she no longer bad a place by her hus- band's side. She would join Metea and go with him to Tecumseh.
