I suit te the point of tears and h.Weria. apologized abjectly and at length, was pin- ! found!) humiliating te the bench and tie l community. ' Jt is net pleasant te ee a Judge com pelled te apologize for an) thing. It Is most unpleasant te observe mi the hem h the sort of behavior which makes apologies and re- ' tractions Inevitable and necessary. I Judge Kigers' explanation of his motives , will astound any one who kimv an) thing I about the cede of ethics which tradition i and law sanction for the judiciarv In Amer ica nnd elsiwl.cie. i The Court, he said, receives all sorts of i Information by letter nnd telephone and direct communication" relative te the char acter and purposes of litigants, and there fore it must use Its power te probe through the superficial evidence for hidden motives. Tins is new doctrine in a country which gees nlwa.vs upon the assumption that a Judge is of all persons the most Impartial and the least prejudiced. Stranger still is the spectacle of a Judge attacking bv implication the character of a girl who appeared before him for justice. The fact that he was wrong, that his im putations were as faNe lis they were ugl). has little te de with the principle funda mental!) Involved. Seint In dy ought te tell Judge Regrrs that the law is intended for the protection of all -orts of people equally, and that If justice v ere net blind te imperfections of human character net related te a case immediate!) In question it would be a lather serr.v travesty. A Judge is net a moral censer. He has pi) authority te differentiate between tl whom he deems worthy of justln- and these v !.e. in hi-1 view, seem unwerth) of it. And if members of the judiciary were general!)

NO HEROES IN SIGHT Till' Near Last is an unhealtb) region for the cultivation et theories of govern ment or u philosophy of history. The Treaty of Sevres was unmistakably a 'razy-ipillt.

An I .vet in spite of these ex travagatices, faint indications of an effort te apply certain primiples hc tliat of self determination and of pretc tien of racial and religious minorities were d'si ernible in the attempted settlement.

LOW RIB A MM KM) of William .lames' son, the in list, told tin that that very delight ful and talented son of bis father had re i counted te her the real "why" of his mak , iug nrf his profession. Instead of his reereii reereii tleti, as his father had mere or less advised. It appears that, although he wns a phi I losepher, William .liunes was also n prac tlcal adviser of his sons, and when It came te nrt as a means of livelihood be was , doubtful whether It would pan out. At nil j events he wa anxious that bis son should , go thteugh Ilnrvarii and leek about him I a bit before he guc himself seriously le ! the profession f ,irt. The hey felt It tr he a waste of time. I believe, illul was uiriner averse te a university career because he bad great ditiiciiliy in passing e.amina e.amina liens. It was net beeausj' he was stupid or unprepared, hut because, like a great nianj ether creative persons, he was apt i" ger periectiy stampeded under the etdeal I of an examination paper, with its ipiestlniis , le be answered within a set period and I under rigid conditions, I Indeed he had failed in one very Im . pertnnt examination from sheer nerveu I mind f.iilgtie, I understand, and although j the snine evaiuluiitiini was coining up for a sr,.,mi ti-i.il.

He assured his son Ihnt when he bad done this for an nppieclable time, his mind would legain its equilibrium and what it possessed ,j way of fads would come ea.slly forth te be set down en paper, lilting James, much reassured, went forth te his i xaminaflen. nnd en the return of his nervous vacuity in the face of the room ful if aspirants, because of the atmesplieie of uncertainty there lather than because of the questions which he could have answered readily enough under ether circumstances, he deliberately set himself te c.tirv out hi" father's advice. He closed bis eyes, rested his bead en his folded arms in a comfortable position and let his thoughts drift easllv off Inte hayy nothings, telling himself that his mind once refreshed would de the job nil right. Tlie ringing of the bell mnrking the close of the examination awoke him! .He was great I) refreshed nnd verv calm, but he I bad slept like a child through the entire lime!

I have been rending the Lnille Cene I method nf late, ami this story of James' I advice te his son in the matter of nuto nute i suggestion while en the border line of sleep or at all events of hazy consciousness. ( interested me te knew where James get it se long before most of us knew of the ' "Nnncy Clinic" of Prance, or of Cene, i or of hi- cures, or of his technique. ' I was asking a man who knew- Jnmes and who knows Dr P.lwend Worcester, ' who in Husten has for sears practiced what ivory reputation i Wl' ,,mv think of ns the method of auto Turk has been ' suggestion. In the Kmninnucl Clinics. , lie sa in tnat netii .lames aim Worcester were pupils of the (!c rmnu physicist Kech , nor. who was the discevciir, in Purepe at I least, of what is new- (ailed the .suhciV.ii i scions self in human beings. He was an old man at the close nt the nineteenth cen tury, se that when Dr. Worcester, who is new about fifty, studied under him tn (ler many it was at the very end of Pechner's career. William James, however, was in his classes in bis prime and wns bis very anient disciple, nnd instrumental In making his discovery known te our modern world. In fact his ps.vcholegy Is based en the Pecb ner pilnclple which Coue has of late in I'rance and lust jenr In Kngland and through the Rroeks book this year in this country made se widespread a change in the whole point of view of the treatment of the sick and the nientall) and morally unbal anced from the point of view of her patient. MV IMPRESSION is that Eechner proved bis discovery of the siibconcleiis self fn man by bis expeilmeuts en the optic nerve and its reactions; and that these who came after him linve invented n whole series of instruments by which they can measure ; tlie point at which the mind is conscious ' of what the eye sees, or the ear bears, or the skin feels. All of these experiments were net of par ticular interest outside the laboratory or , tlie classroom, however, until the whole theory of the subconscious self and its rein- ' tien te the waking, con-cleus self get Inte tjie usable stage bv men who could adapt the facts te everyday life. . nn; HAVE VV leglans inn nlwnvs been told by line- I 1 moralists that the great ', thing te bring into subjection Is the will If you have a bad habit te get ever, or if 'oil wl-h te de something geed, it was the will that j nu weie told te depend upon; the will that must be set against a desiie 1 te de evil, or te de nothing ns one would 1 set u clock, nnd see that it kept up te time Hut Eechner discevei ed at least for thise latter generations, for men ma.v have known it before that back of the will and using I it ns one would use a pen te write.

This unconscious, ( one defines ns the . storehouse of the memory, the powerhouse of the feelings, and the supervisor of mir physical processes. We are net clockwork- mortals set going once by winding up and running down grad I unlly until we die.

Daily Talks JFirli Thinking Vhiladelphians en Subjects They Knew Best STEWART A. JELLETT On Fire Prevention Week FIRE PREVENTION WEEK, which is being observed throughout the country,. Is really only an enlargement of Eire Pre vention Dayr- uml it represent one of the most important movements in the Pulled States, according te Stewart A. Jellett. chairman of the Eire Prevention Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. "Th purpose of Eire Prevention Week," said Mjf. Jellett, "is net only te impress the values but in less of life us well .Many Lives Lest Annually "Tlie nlinual less of life from Ores is very much greater than most people knew. The ligures show that, every .venr there tire 1.", (100 persons burned te death in the Pnited States alone. People de net seem te realize this vast total, especially these who live in tiie great cities. They rend here and there of a death by tire, but consider It te be a most, unusual thing, net taking into consid eration that the same thing is happening all ever the country. "New when there is added te this huge mortality bv lire the fact that the pieperly less freiii files for lfl21 In the Pnited States was .'jUS,'., (100. 0(10 in insured propel t) alone, some idea of the necessity for lire preven tion may he secured. These figures are taken from the records of the lire insurance lom lem p.iules and therefore are accuiale. "If te this property less there be added the less en uninsured property and the ii.sses through miie and forest tires, tlie total It Is conservatively estimated, will ic-icl! $700,000.1)00 rather than SKl.tidO. SKl.tidO. (ien The lire insurance companies estimate that IT. per cent of all fire losses are un insured. "One of the most disquieting fentuies of the whole situation i.s tlie fact that tlie annual number of lires is en the increase. This icaily means mere than the fact that the h.sses'nre very much gi eater with each suci ceding jear. because a single Are may lesiilt in u' very heavy less, but that the number of fires is annually much greater is ,i veiv serious matter. "The lire less in 1S70 was Sel, (100,000 m leund numbers. Fifty years later, in 101.1). it was net quite $148,000,000. nnd last ) cu lt reached the total of S4H.-,,()00, ()(!(). These ligures speak for themselves, and nny com ment s unnecessary, but It is a less of almost S.r. for every mnn, woman nnd child in the Pnited States. "New- consider what this menus : it is n less In values of at least $t ,.100,000 a day; and with 13.000 persons meeting death in ibis terrible feim, it means that forty per sons are burned te death every day of the .venr. I wonder what would be the leaetieu of the public If the President should issue a proclamation declnrlng that each day of the vear 1 ,.100,000 worth of property should be destieyed and forty persons would he burned te death. And yet this very thing Is happening all ever the (euntry every day. Most of It Unnecessary "Hut the most reprehensible thing about it all Is that most of this less is totally un necessarv and (enld be prevented by the use of a rea'senable amount of care. It Is this carelessness tlmt Eire Prevention Ijy, which is October !l, the auniveisnry of the gieat Chicago tire of 1S71, was designed te cor rect.
