A Warning from Home.
Lessor legal lights than Chief Jus
tice Walter Clark of tho North Caro
lina aupronio court will rant and rati
nt his warning of what ho calls the
"Judicial oligarchy," Just as it a lay
man uttered tho advice. Many big
men, though, on and off tho bench,
are sharing IiIh view that it Is time
for tho Judges and tholr brethren At
the bar to slow up. in tholr control of
tho government. He points out how
for more than a century they havo
mado and administered tho laws with
"Judicial oligarchy" as tho net
result.
Already wo havo tho oxpedlent ot
a recall ot Judges at our command.
It camo, not from a spasmodic rad
icalism grown up ovor night, but a
slow-gathering, deop-rooted distrust
of tho way tho law was mado and
administered "for' tho benefit ot tho
few," says Qhlof Justlco Clark.
Tho Integrity of tho courts rests
-with tho courts. When such oral
nent members of tho legal profession
aa William Howard Taft, ISllhu Uoqt,
Chief Justlco Walter Clark and oth
era of tholr typo are moved by con-
vlctlon to sound such solemn warn
inga it is timo for Judges and lawyers
allko to toko heed. Tho law may not
be regarded as an exact science, but
this much is absolute there is a de
termined demand for greater exactl
tudo in its administration.

Jrira and the Bakers.
OMAHA, Jan. M.-To the Editor of The
Bee: I read In last night's paper. "The
Jewish Baiters Between Two Fires."
It's true that tha orthodox Jews made
the bakers put up S0 each and sign not
to bako on Saturdays, becaupo It's against
the Jewish faith, and what I want to re
mark here Is: That it's only against the
Jewish faith when Jewish people arc
baking on Saturday, and the bread Is for
bidden to nil Jews. But It's kosher when
It's baked by people of another faith.
Now, It can bo seen plainly that It's with
out any sense to say the orthodox Jews
nro boycotting the bread because it's
baked by Christiana, and the fact 1
they didn't. Tho only trouble Is that the
bakers wanted their worklngmen to work
on Saturday night, which they refused
and went on strike. So tho Bakers' union
distributed circulars amongst Jews ot
Omaha not to buy the bread because It'a
baked by scabs. And all I can say about
It la that all these troubles could havo
been prevented If some people who think
they know a lot and don't know any
thing wouldn't havo the habit to Incite
others. I think it can be easily arranged
even now without any trouble between
the bakers and their worklngmen If thoy
only wanted to. Let them come to tha
same orthodox Jews who made them
sign not to bake on Saturdays.

our laws make no provisions for the ade

yers whq utter malicious slanders In the
form of pleadings such as appeared In
your published report of a suit in the
federal court against the Presbyterian
hospital and myself. The only item of
truth in this charge Is the statement
that Miss Hattie Rosenbeck commute!
suicide at the hospital on the night ot
January Jt-25, 1312.
This pupil nurse took her life by hsny
tng heraelf to the ralllns of the back
porch about midnight on that date,
where she was found one-halt hour
after her disappearance from her pa
ttent's room. The circumstances of her
death were thoroughly Investigated at
the time by the coroner and by her
father and his attorney, and they all
agreed In exonerating the hospital from
blame. Miss Rosenbcck was one of the
most faithful and competent pupils In
the training school and her disposition
was so cheerful and Itlndly that she was
a general favorite. Her untimely death
was a great shock and sincere grief ia
everyone connected with the hospital.
No reasonable explanation ot her act has
ever been found.
The charge that her patient, Miss Mary
Stewart, killed her Is monstrous and Is
deliberately false Miss Stewart was
netther demented nor Insane and Mss
Rosenbeck'a attachment for her patient
was so great that at her own repeated
request she waa allowed to remain longer
than usual In charge of the case. Tho
lawyer who makes thla charge Is smart
ing under his recent failure In another
suit for IM0 against the Presbyterian
hospital. The ease waa dismissed In
district court on their awn testimony be
fore a word of evidence had been of
fered by the hospital. Now he Is stir

rooms, and It tho building were

filled. A number of the most eminent
surgeons and specialists of the city,
whose requirements for high class eervt
Ire are very exacting, are on Its attend

same head for more tnan tn years, has
graduated a corps of nurses who, for
skill and efficiency, have no superiors
In the country.

When the winter Is cold and tha snow
falls and drifts, ...
And Into each crevice the frigid air
sifts: , ,
When the mercury goes below zero and
stays
When the windows have frost sketches
on them for days;
When the coal men go stamping aside
of their wagons.
A-rubblng their hands and a.pufflng like
dragons;
Then It's worry and worry and worry,
poor soul
How on earth will we pay for that next
ton of coal?
When the winter Is open and sunny and
blim
And the grass on the lawna keeps Us
near greenish hue,
AVhen the Know melts at noontime, that
fell In the nleht: ...
When the dandelion can't keep his head
out of sight:
When the mercury simply refuses to
drop,
And the Ice man gets anxious about the
Ice crop;
Then UV worry and worry and worry.

No Ice and this summer as hot as last
