A Lawyer's Duty.
There is a provision of the Federal
constitution which reads as follows:
"In all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall enjoy the right to
speedy and public trial, by an impar
tial jury of the state and district
wherein the crime shall have been
previously ascertained bylaw, and to
be Informed of the nature and cause
of the accusation to be confronted
with the witnesses against him: to
have compulsory process, for obtain
ing witnesses In his favor, and to have
the assistance of counsel for his de
fense."
It then follows that no attorney has
a right to refuse to defend one charged
with the commission of a crime unless
pressure of work or other unavoidable
cause prevents. The physician must
administer to the sick no matter how
contagious the disease: and likewise
the attorney is justified In defending
tho man on trial for crime no matter
how odious the otlonsc charged, for
the above provision of the constitu
tion and the right of humanity
make it his duty.
Nebraska Winter Wheat.
The crop report for the Lincoln,
Wymore and McCook divisions of the
Rurlinglon, Issued from the Lincoln
offices of the road, says the Lincoln
News, show an excellent canditlon of
winter wheat all over southern Ne
braska. This Is the tlrst report of the
year, and it Is much more Mattering
than the earlier reports usually are.
The report says that there is but one
opinion expressed in relation to win
ter wheat. It is uniformly In excellent
condition. There are no reports of
Hessian Hy or other damage. The acre
age of tills crop Is about the same as
last year on the Wymore division of
the road: on the Lincoln division It Is
from ten to twenty per cent less: on
the Kansas branches of the McCook
division it Is about lifteen per cent
more than last year, and somewhat
lesson other lines of that division.
