One would suppose that a class | of professional men who depend for support and reputation largely upon the respect and confidence of the community would wish to be popular. Apparently they don’t care whether they are popular or not. And the fact is that they are not. The efforts of the American Bar Association to throw out three negro Jawycrs from its membership have met with no sympathy from the public. On the other hand, Attorney-General Wickersham’s in- sistence that the standing of the colored lawyers should be recognized has received general approval. If the lawyers were as careful about some of their other essocia- | tons as they are about coneorting with dark-skinned members of their own profession, there might be less of the widespread feeling of ¢ynical mistrust that undoubtedly exists toward them. A little of this commendable fastidiousness practised in professional matters where a color line marks the boundary of shadiness would become ‘them far better than the present intemperate exhibition of race prejudice. Wholesome fear of contamination in other directions might well! spread a new light of openness and integrity over the profession, in- | cluding its brightest crown—the Bench. With fear of contamination “we might hear less about the need of recalling judges. Fear of con- tamination might do much toward clearing up the fogs of obscurity | and delay, the technical sharp practice which now bewilder and dis- | gust the public, and which even the Bar itself professes to deplore. | The truth is that at present the average citizen looks upon the lawyer as a queer, highly trained creature indispensable for certain ‘Purposes, but distressfully wriggly and unreliable. ‘The average man chief delight is to run beyond his pleadings, stir up impenetrable Clonds of legal dust, secure delays on hair-splitting technicalities—in | short, put spokes in the lumbering wheels of justice. The average man probably wrongs the average lawyer. Never- theless if the American Bar Association were to turn a little of the! serupulousness and zeal devoted to kicking out negro members in the! direction of weeding its own garden, it would cut a better figure in the eyes of the nation. | ———-4 > —____. CLEVER COL. HARVEY. ; OL. GEORGE HARVEY works himself into a lovely melancholy Cc in the current issue of the North American Review, figuring Presidential possibilities down to their lowest, gloomiest terms. If, he says, neither Woodrow Wilson, nor William H. Taft, nor Theo- 4 _dore Roosevelt gets a majority next November, and if the election ‘of a President is thus thrown into the House of Representatives, and! if the House fails to give any one of the three candidates enough votes for a choice, and if a Republican Senate has meanwhile elected the | Republican candidate for Vice-President, then verily will James S. Sherman succeed William H. Taft as President of the United States. And if the Senate hecomes deadlocked, maybe we will get Philander ©. Knox! Very clever of Col. Harvey! So clever that it reminds us of @lever’Elsa in the German fairy tale, who was sent to the cellar to draw a pitcher of beer. She was gone 4o long that the whole family descended to sce what was the matter. hey found Elsa sitting beo- aide the cask in floods of tears. Pointing to a pickaxe hanging on the wall above the cask, she sobbed: “Ach Gott! If I grow up, and meet a nice young man, and he asks me to marry him, and we have | achild, and send him to the cellar to draw beer, ey ' , nd the pickaxe fails on him and kills him, what a terrible misfortune it will be!” Whereupon Elsa was hailed as the cleverest girl in Christendom. ————EEEE WOMAN EDITOR of the National Woman’s Suffrage Associa- ; tion believes that married women can perfectly well stick to iS siness positions. In fact she predicts that “housework will be com- } pletely commercialized in time. The wife will be able to arrange | matters so that even children will not interfere with her profession.

Coverisht, 1912, by The Prem Publishing Oo, (The New York World), No. 42.—QUEEN, ELIZABETH. W tail is the Queen of Scotland?” demanded Queen Elizabeth of the Seoteh Ambassador. “About two inches taller than your Majesty,” was the reply. “Then,” announced Elizabeth, “she is just two inches too tall for perfect beauty.” No one laughed at the bit of sublime vanity. No one dared to. For by ..aying on that same vanity Elizabeth's courtiers won their way. But to an outsider, Efizabeth'’s placid claim to “perfect beauty” must have caused a smile, For she was scrawny, sharp-featured, with beadlike black _ eyes, big teeth (blackened by over-use of tobacco), a hooked nose and an enormous flaming red wig. Not by any meeans the {deal type of heart: .. breaker. Yet she broke many hearts. Yes, and many lives. She was the daughter of Henry VIII. and Anne Boleyn. Her girlhood was darkened by her mother's tragic fate, and she was neglected in many ways. But nevertheless the girl managed to acquire an education such as was granted to few women of her day. After her father's death, and when Elizabeth was but fifteen, Lord Seymour fell violently in love with her. There she loved him. But even then her shrewd brain wae very much alive, And, as always, she made it rele her heart. Two lives—those of her brother Edward and her elder sister, Mary—were between her and the English throne. But both Edward and Mary were sick« ly and might well be expected to die young. Should she marry Seymour, Elizabeth must give up her claim to the royal succession. So she did not marry him. Soon Edward died and Mary came to the throne. Hilsabeth was accused it conspiring against sister and was thrown into prison. She was soon te leased, but was always kept under close watch as long as Maty Hved. In 1868. Mary died, end Elizabeth, who was then twenty-five, became Queen of England. For the next forty-five years she ruled England. And a wonderful Queen she was. During her reign there was a grand advancé in edwoation, literature, colonization, national power and prosperity. As a queen she was a genius. Age a Woman sho left much to be desired. Among the first of the many men who loved her and with whom ahe flirted outrageously, was Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. He w: crafty politician, and managed to profit vastly from Elizabeth's favor. He even aspired to marry hor, But for some reason the match fell through. When, later, he dared te marry another woman, Elizabeth, in @ fit of jealousy, deprived him of his offices and sought to imprison him. ; . Another of her favorites was gallant Sir Walter Rateigh, who named thi newly discovered Virginia Territory in her honor. Raleigh, like Leicester, had ( the effrontery to marry a woman he loved. And Exzabeth had him thrown {nto prison for it, She was horribly jealous. As jealous as she was vain. And woe betide the man on whom she chanced to cast a fayoring eye, if he showed the faintest preference for any one else! * An Austrian Grand Duke, two French princelings and several other eprige of royalty sued in vain for Elisabeth's hand. Sho coquctted with each—end ended by rejecting them ail. She never married. Perhaps for fear of sharing " her power; perhaps because she could not make @ happy choice among so many '’' suitors; perhaps for another reason that was advanced at the time. ’ ‘The Earl of Lssex, a flery, discontented man, wae |" the last of her avowed adorers.
