TO PRACTICE OF LAW *" s *' WILL- ENTER PARTNERSHIP WITH BAINBRIDGE COJ-BY ?? I^ j Retiring President Will bsta^ntb i Law Offices in Washington and New York Washington, ^larch 3.?With a brief announcement that he "will resume the practice of law" President Wilson today gave the first indication j of what he intends to do' after leav-? * 3 - * j 't J ing the White House. Wholly unex- i pected and quite unknown to the j president closest friends "it was of-! ficially announced at the White House | ofjjices that Mr. Wilson would enter j , - partnership with Bainbridge Colby,j I I the retiring secretary of state of New j York and that the new firm would es- j ta^lish offices in Nev?.York and Washington. No information of the character of practice Wilson and Colby will undertake was made available: arid all questions were met with the ! reply that the official announcement | contained aD there was to be said.! Secretary Colby refused to discuss j the subject at all. TRe "general assumption in Washington is that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Colby will engage largely rn the prac ti'ce of international law, a field to which the world war and its after-1 * *r. . ; r I math promises to. contribute largely during the next year. Some of the president's friends think in his activities of international law is a way to continue his work for wor]d_ peace but thfey do not kno.w just how "he would do so. ~' Started as Lawyer . Mr. Wilson's start in life, long before he thought of college professorships or politics was in the law. Graduated from the University of Virginia in his native state in 1881, he opened a small office and practiced iii Atlanta for fwo years and then in 1&83 practiced in Baltimore while doing post graduate work at Johns Sopkins university. It was during at year that his writings first attract e?d attention and that he wrote his volume on constitutional government. abandoned the law soon after, however, and began the collegiate wgrjc in whjck he. continued until he became governor of'New Jersey. With the. announcement that the retiring pre?<3eS -wouid take up law and apply to the supreme court of tpe United States for admission to ppra6tice, all official Washington asked: "Is he_physically able to do it?" ? - Rear Admiral* Grayson, Mr. Wilson's personal physician, said his pa- , tlent cou-lB1, and thafthV would be. able ti> appear in the supreme court occasionally. In the absence ot any def .. , _ _? * ? ; inite'announcemeritT of how active Mr. ^Pilson proposes to Be, those who kzLQW. his condition think his principal activities will be as a counsellor, .announcement was made at the ?

"' i-' years' said they knew nothing of tjie president's filan until this morning. p Much business for international law firms during the'next 50'years unp x % >, * doubtedly will arise out of the world war and its aftermath. Robert Lansing, former secretary of state, is at .. present practicing in the field with o^e of his former subordinates; frank L.' Polki formerly under secretary of ' J # < ?* * f state, also is at prac^ce, ai\d former . Secretary McAdoo also is practicing law, althougn not wholly in the inter national ?eld. The wide extent of Mr. Wilson's . knowledge of inside international af- ] fdirs during the Ipst eight years can ^ only be left to the imagination. He has a personal store of data on the , * * x ( I i *' peace conference and its proceedings , which is possessed by certainly, no j one else in the United States, and it j probably is not exceeded in volume and importance by any European pub- 1 lie man. j Mr. Colby has never engaged in any . other profession than that of the law. i He began practice in New York in "l 1^92 and represented many important ? clients. : tlis nrsc appearance in na- f-t tional politics was in 1912.

To the Editor of The State: I have i*ead with as much interest as my ignorance would permit the article of Harvey Jordan of St. Matthews in The State of today. This article appears to be more of a personal nature than an article of inforv\m4iAv> T ujnwf f A CO V f A \T V T A wl O Tl UlCll/lUil. i VY aiiC CV/ OCAjr tv/ r/ v* MM! i that I make no claims to intelligence, but really I did not know that I was so densely ignorant as Mr. Jordan claims. Oh, that I might have the opportunity to sit at the feet of wisdom and learn. I have no desire to make any personal attack upon Mr. Jordan, as I assume that he is a high toned gentleman, *yid I am glad to hp anlp t.n nt.t.rihnt.p t.n him mnvp wis dom and broadmindedness than I can ever hope to attain. It was not my purpose to make an attack on the American Cotton association, as its efforts as a whole have been used as it thought best. Mr. Jordan devotes most of his article to quoting the resolutions as passed by the association during the last year. The object of these resolutions was not realized in a single instance. Mr. T j x _ 11 _ il i. i.1 _ _ *_ _ _ j_ _ 1 l J joraan tens us mai uie auvice to noia cotton for 40 cents last fall was sound and wise advice. If this was sound advice, pray tell us what is fool advice. The American Cotton association has issued a great deal of propaganda. This was for the purpose of helping the farmers, and I insist that about all it can do is to issue propaganda, but why this is to cost the *>nttnn farmprs thp snin nf $300,000 per annum for the life of me I can not see. Mr. Jordan utterly failed to show where any material benefits are to be derived by the farmers from this tax on our cotton. He has failed to show this because this is its weak point. Turn oh the spotlight and show us where the results are to be obtained. Will this tax guarantee the a4yance in price, o? cotton, ancj how? Will this tax force the cotton buyers to pay us more than they want to pay lis? IfT so, how?' Will these graders paid by a cotton tax force % ""T* " " * A 1* -1 . A- i.1. ? ? me.Duyers 01 cotton to accept tneir grading and pay us more for cotton than they would otherwise do? If so, how? I say turn on the iight and show us guaranteed results from this ?ax. that amounts to more, tfcan a fourth of a million dollars. How many salaried positions do you expect to ?ring into being? Will the men that have lobbied without ceasing for this measure get tbeir reward by being given a high salaried position? I oppose t&is measure because it is not a sound principle of government and can not give results in comparison with the expenditure proposed, we are now overloaded with all kinds of taxes, and our lawmakers should not increase this burden unless they can show beneficial results, and I contend that they can not show any relief under this measure of taxing cotton. Poor oTd cotton at three to ten cents has all it can bear without an utter collapse. Mr. Jordan woi\ld have the public believe that on account of my ignorance that I have misstated facts. I do know it to be-a fact that when cotton was bringing 40 cents per pound that members of the American Cotton association did publicly advise the people to hold their cotton for 50 cents, rnis was certainly not sounu advice, and it was not sound advice to advise holding 30 cent cotton for 40 cents. The facts will bear me out that. this association has in almost every instance fixed the price of cotton too high, with no right or power to maintain such a price. I was told riot very~long ago by a banker that had made a visit to Northern banks that the propaganda issued by this association had done the South great harm from a financial point of view. 'TJje cotton farmers are not asking for this tax, and every farmer that I have heard express himself is opposed to this measure. We have our state warehouse sys tem and our export corporation and we should be very cautious about - ? - - , j naking new ventures under these ablormal times.
