P. nomic waste in the administration of the law in state and nation. We spend vast sums building court houses, paying judges, clerks and oth ers and the product in justice is dis proportionate to the plant and work- ling force. There is no country in the world where the doing of justice is burdened by such heavy overhead charges. It all causes an enormous waste of time on the part of wit nesses, jury panel and parties. The ease with which admission to the bar is secured in many jurisdictions and attraction of a career which affords a' living without manual labor has crowded the. bar with more lawyers than are necessary. Of the 114,000 lawyers in the United States a very considerable part are not needed. If that business were conducted like the business of any great industrial or transportation company which is striving for the highest efficiency at the least cost in order to conmete successfully with its rivals, a very considerable percentage of the 114,000 would be discharged. Why do these defects exist in our udminisri-ntinn nf justice? The American people are not quarrelsome or litigious. They are good natured practical, simple and direct in their methods, respecters of "inside information" on what tho Southern politicians think of suf frage, and on their report to the con vention will depend whatever decision is made for future suffraire activitv "THE W With H.

Full Text of Strike Order. Washington, Aug. 20. The strike order issued to the railroad employes, to take effect Labor day, September 4, unless it is canceled by a satisfactory settlement, is brief. It is addressed to all members of the four brotherhoods (Locomotive Engineeis, Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, Railroad Trainmen, and Order of Railway Con ductors) and is signed by the various general chairmen. It follows: "Sirs and Brothers This is to ad- vise you that the vote in train and enirine viKiii-uuur uay anil, time alter one- hall overtime proposition was over whelmingly in favor of a strike. "Notwithstanding this, your repre sentatives have l-en unable to effect a satisfactory settlement and n strike under the laws of the respective or ganizations becomes effective on Sep tember 4, li)l(i, at 7 a. m. "Impart this iuformation so those interested will understand that they are to promptly obey." On a separate, sheet the duties of j members and officers in the conduct of tho strike are set forth. Particular emphasis is placed on conducting the proposed strike as peacefully as nos- I sible. Among tho duties of members set forth are these: I "No man in road service involved in the strike will perform any service af I ter the hour set to strike, unless he ! has already begun a trip and has act-I unlly left the terminal. If th etrain has left the terminal he will complete the trip and deliver the engine and train at the end of the run, or tie up ; point if tid up under the law, after i which he will perform no further ser I vice until the close of the strike. Men in other than road service will leave j the service at the appointed time, i "So far as your legai right to strike i is concerned, there is no difference be tween a mail train and a freight train. i i ou nave identically the same right to ! refuse to perform service on a mail I train as you have to refuse to per form service on a freight train.

Rasing his plea for ef ficiency in the-ndmjnistration of the law upon the statement that we must get down to brass tacks in all our af fairs if we're going to keep pace with Europe after the war, Mr. Root flayed our "cumbersome machinery of jus tice" and called upon the lawyers to forget their selfishness and give Stephen S.

Concerning al American Woman Suffrage Asso- the law and the lawyers, Mr. Root ciation here September 5th. said in part: "There is great eco- ' They will bring with (hem some below the Mason-Dixon Line. So important is the South regarded by the suffrage leaders that one en tire evening session of the convention has been set aside for a presentation of the Dixie suffragists' reports. The night of September seventh will be officially known as "Dixie Night", and it promises to- furnish one of the big surprises of the convention. On that night the delegates flrom all pans oi tne country will get some first hand information from Southern women on how the South stands on suffrage. According to Mrs. Carrie Chapman C.-Uf, President of the Na tional Association, the information will not be displeasing. Details of the information which is to be presented to the convention by the Southern leaders are being jeal ously guarded, but it is admitted that there are surprises in store for those who have been laboring under the de lusion that the Southern States as a whole, are opposed to granting the ballot to women. Among the representative women who will speak Dixie Night and tell of the strides woman suffrage is making in the South are: Mrs..B. J. Cunningham, president of the Texas Woman Suffrage associ ation; Mrs. Edward McGehee, presi dent of the Mississippi Federation of Women's Clubs, and Mrs. Lila Meade Valentine, president of the Virginia Equal Suffrage league. Of.her South ern leaders on the Drooram inMiulo Mrs. Eugene Riellcy, vice-president, General Federation of Women's Clubs: Mrs. Guildford Dudley, presi dent Tennessee Equal Suffrage As sociation, Ins.; T. T. Cotnam, vice president Arkansas Woman Suffrage Association, and Mrs. Thomas Jeffer son Smith, president Kentucky Equal Rights Association. President Wilson and Mr. Hughes have been invited to address the ran. vention, considered the most import ant ever called in the suffrage history of the country. Its specific purpose is to determine the political policy which the National American Woman Suffrage Association a strictly non partisan body will follow during the coming Fall campaign.
