ENDED SUPREfAEJpURT LEAK Legal Body Forced to Tdke Precau tions for the Safeguarding of , * Its Decisions. ''Yes, It is truo that supremo court decisions leaked in tho old days," re marked oh old-time Wall street broker. "I remember a certain important tiuit about JJO years ago. It was tho great caBe of those days, as big in Its way as the Standard Oil and Tobacco suits of recent date. A week before the tye j cision came down the son of one of the Judges came into my office, and I told him that of the nine Judges, one would decide' 'so and so,' one would re frain from any opinion, and tho re maining seven would make a decision 'so and so.' "He smiled and .went away. Short ly after the decision was rendered, and the matter had turned out as I had foretold, this young man came back to the office. He said his father was greatly worried over tho leak In the court, and asked me if I could help them trace the source of my Informa tion. I told him what I knew. That one oi' tho official supremo court s'onographers had been selling ad vance copied of the decisions to a very prominent broker of that time. What this broker paid for his information I, of course, do not lu^tti^: but it was established that 1 was ~e<)rrect as to where tho weak spot was in the court. "Since then every decision of the supreme court has been written in long hand (one copy), thus making it absolutely impossible for an outsider to get the news in advance. This ex plains, in part, why it_now takes so long for tho court to announce its de cisions." Replacing Delusions. If the popular imagination is. to be come heated to a point where it dis cerns an attempt at abduction in every "dizzy feeling" or momentary illness suffered by a young woman in a pub lic. place, it will be unsafe for a man to offer the slightest civility to any person of the other sex whom he does not happen to know. To assist a wom an into a car will subject him to sus picion," and to go to her aid if Bhe faints in the street will render him li ^Jt>le to arrest as a .white-slaven Auatole France says somewhere that one result of getting rid of old .delusions is that they are often re placed with others of worse aspect. This present phase of popular credul ity on the subject would deserve to be regarded merely as silly if it were not for. the tendency of an exaggera tion of the fancied dangers of the evil to confuse the public mind about its real dangers. Why Parsons Mi^ht Not Hunt. An English clergyman may shoot birds without outraging popular senti ment, why not, then, ride after a fox? To find the answer we must prob ably go back to those old days when hard riding meant hard drinking, and when spiritual life was at a low ebb. The "hunting parson" came to be a type of cleric who habitually neglect ed his dutleB. It is a happy circum stance that in these days 'foxhunting need no longer be a reproach because the greater reproach has been re moved.- A parson who does his work' faithfully and well need not be grudged a few hours' gallop in hlo leisure moments. Indeed, he can do It all the better for the exercise, and win respect for his spiritual teaching by gaining a reputation for manli ness and pluck. ? Ofwwc Prefer ied.
