W00DR0W WILSON IN COURT
WHEN Wootiiow U ,1.111 :'im,'ii-i m tin

bla nn ntui'di to he admitted ti practice
in that toiirt maiiv persons wre reminded
thjtt he was a law ver
He had an office m Atlanta for about a
year, but when no clients came he abandoned
the law and began to teach Theodore Itonse
Telt was also a lawver, but when he got no
clients he did not begin to teach Ho did
not have to, for he had nn independent for
tunf. Instead, he devoted himself to public
service.
Yet if Hnosevelt were Mill alive he might
practice In fore the Supreme Court of ih
Federal district along - itli WiImui Tne
rules, of that court provide that a Inwvei
must have pnioliooil bis proies-uui fm In
years befoie he may plead a nisi- in it It
modified its rules a few d.iv ago, however.
In such 11 wnv as to permit former Presi
dents and Vice President who nre lawyers
to practice before It even though they have
not practiced in other courts for the ro
qulrerl period.
Tha rule it recognition of tb value of
the. training of high public ofRcye. No mnn
has ever filled the presidential office 'without
learning a great deal about law nnd other
mntter.i. It In the greatest educational in
stitution In the country, for it compels those
who enter It to exert nil their energh? tn
master the subjects that are brought to their
intention. There Is no elective course such
as permits) the students in the univors-lllos
In choose whnt Ihev will interest themselves
in. The whole cour.se Is required, but it
differs from such courses offered to the
freshmen In the universities m that no on"
can tell at the beginning whnt subjects are
to be studied. The coure makes Itself as
It goes nlong.
So Mr. Wilson is undoubtedly as well
equipped to practice in the Washington
court as any man who will appear before it.
There may be technical points on which he
Is uninformed, but no young lawyer of only
five vcars' experience can compare with him
for grasp of the fundamentals of any ques
tion to which be tuny bring his nttention.
Ever one. whether political friend or foe,
hop s that hi health may be vito-'cd so that

a preacher. It Is also whispered that owing
to a lack of competition many pulpits are
very Inadequately tilled, in order to get rid
of what, when applied to the ministry, goes
by the name of "dead wood," there should
be at least 1000 nunc men than there are

I've seen Moating about In the ministry who
might till other professions with profit, but
are flotsam and jetsam in their parishes.
I KNOW one man who ought to have been
n politician of the old Tnmninny sort.
He likes n convivial cocktail and takes It
even when there is no one to be convivial
with. He is one who ta'ks golf instead of
diocesan missions. nI v.ii hns settled hack

mony, lie tlo.s th utme thins like
fuiicrnN, marrying, baptizing and visiting
with 11 sort, of la.v loletance I hut interferes
with no one not oven the sexton. When I
hear grumblers complain that the clergy are
too set npart. not enough men of the world
and of nffairs, 1 think of that chap and
wonder what would he their sensations If he
were their shepherd.
There nre other 1 onscientious ministers
who. in trying to be all things to all men,
force themselves Into business suits when
they nre off on their holiday". I know one
who was very complaisant because he was
taken for a prize-lighter on the way to
Europe, and another who icjolced heenue
men seeing him In pepper-and-salt traveling
clothes, with n red tie. swore unrestrainedly
in his i-timpniiy.
There Is, of course, the other extreme: the
kind of clergyman who regatds his collar
buttoned in the baik and his ve-t buttoned
over the should,.- n a sign of his heavenly
calling never to be taken off before mortal
eves le-s set apart than his wife's. I climbed
)! mountain one very hot day with one such.
The rest of us were In e-i-y walking negligee,
while he strode, puiplo and wilted ainong

faltered, however, nor envied us the freedom
with which our Adam's apples took tho
b1r07.es, and when we were met and passed
by a descending parly of walkers he re
luaiketl g'fefully ; s
"Well, tliey will icilizo vou had one
Christian among you. anyway!"
01 It feeling about him was not so much
that he had mistaken his falling, as that
he .should have gone further and worn sati
dais ami a lope around his waist and un
married his wife. As it was. it just needed
a touch to put him m the movies for the
general butt type.
