I ti HOUSE OF LAWYERS Orer63 Per Cent ef the Hons of Repre- eentatives nr Htmbfn of th Legal . - Profession Only 7 Xswipaptr Men X Washington, D. C, May 27. (Special . correspondence.) The debate this ... week In the senate upon the Philippine question -Drought out two notable 1 jspeeches-those of Senators Hoar and Wellington. Each was a masterpiece n its way and attracted marked at isntion from both sides of the chamber . , Both speeches were replete with quo dons from the speeches of "Webster, ' incoln, Sumner, Adams and other teat expounders and defenders of the onstitution; and from the papers of vVashington and others. It is a significant fact that in all the discussion brought but by the Philip pine war, no republican has ever quoted from any great apostle of f ree- dom either by his own party or of another party. The constitution and . the Declaration of Independence and f. the Monroe doctrine are nerer referred to except to find a reason for the avoid ance of their teachings. ' It has remained for the democrats in congress to sustain the teachings . of the fathers of the republic, even as . they passed the Teller resolution and made possible the Cuban republic, whose star is Just added to the con sellatlon of the nations. Is it not better that we deal with v the Philiplnes as with Cuba and wel-'."- come in the skies of the orient the ap pearance of the star of another repub lic? The house has passed a bill provid ing for an educational test for Immi grants. The benefits to be derived therefrom are not to be underestimated and the improvement in the character of our citizenship cannot be denied. Of the membership of the . present house of representatives the popular branch of congress 227 are lawyers, nearly two-thirds of the whole. Of the remaining 130 members, a variety of professions are represented, but the ... number in each is paltry as compared with the legal fraternity. ' Of the profession in whose cosmos -.1 have the honor of being an alom little can be said if numbers shall be the test of publicity. Only seven newspaper men have been sent to re present their people in the lower house of the 57th congress. There are, of course, a great many more who point . with pride to the fact that at some period of their boyhood or early man hood they have set type in the office of the country paper whose editor has :. done so much for the advancement of his community, financially, morally - and otherwise, and whose reward has never been commensurate with the la bor he has performed and the beneflc- ence he has shed 'round about him. . I have never known a man who, if at "any time he was connected with the newspaper business in even the remost- ' est way, was not " proud ct the fact and told his experience with a great deal of pleasure.

This tUfd to political place and public prom inadce has been due to the display of ability In another avenue of life men W id have not had the natural If un do nicious prestige to aid them which the! practice of law gives. I Ben Franklin Caldwell, who repre sents the old Lincoln district in Illi nois, came here in the 56th congress, aftejr having been defeated in 1896 by s( JjBnall plurality, and. since, having overcome a normal republican major it r by a. comfortable margin. Caldwell is af typical democrat of the old school. .Tifliugh in the enjoyment of a consid erable income from two banks of Wofch he has been the head, he lives oif a farm near Springfield, preferring the I communion with nature which fajrrji life only can give, and entering !ntc the experiences, pleasant 'and un pleasant, of the honest, hard-working ti ar of the soil. It is his close knowl-et'-gp of the needs and desires of a farming community and his willlng nos to serve its interests that has sent and' kept him here. I mention this fact to j provd that since the prosperity of tei nation is wholly dependent upon t ,3 comfort and well-being of the fcrjner, he who serves his country bidt is he who has due regard for the trjtlrests of the farmer, and his re ad Is surest. He bulld3 best for 8cjjety who strengthens the foundation tt;)cm which society rests. I Daniel Linn Gooch, a Kentucky democrat, represents the Sixth con gressional district of that famed corn er joh wealth, and is serving his first U tin. Gooch is a druggist, and the pnly one I believe in the house. He en t iged in this business at the early age 0 ! 17, he having been orphaned a ysar previously by the death of his parents. His early struggle to gain. a a Education was a hard one, as many llmjilarly circumstanced will testify, b at which, after all, Is the surest test 6: upright character and ability. Gooch hater held a public office until his edition to congress and his expert -e ace in this wise is one that call to bu few who gain the much-sought P rlre of a congressional seat. Caldwell Edwards, a populist of fontana. Is likewise serving his first torfa. Jn congress; and as a result of democratic and populist fusion a con dition responsible for the sending of a large number of . conspicuously able fuen to Washington. Mr. Caldwell is a practical farmer, has followed it as a business all his life and is distinctive a3 being of a class whose representa jt:.vjps are too numerically small in our lawmaking bodies. Jishton C. Shallenberger, now serv r his first term as the representative pffthe people of the Fifth congres sional district of Nebraska, bears the junjque distinction of being the only fco4sressman from our state at this t'jae not a lawyer by profession, and fs. an exception from an almost unbrok en! rule of Nebraska politics, in this egara. since the organization or tne taie. Like Mr. Gooch, Mr. Shallen- befger never was a candidate for public office until his election to congress; like Mr. Edwards he is here by the jfrfc.ee of fusion votes that strong and 'nrite force made up of populists, dem- BEEF TRUST INJUNCTION Caldwell, he has had interests in ilbank in his native town, but of later years finding a pleasanter occupation tr the stock raising business and en tering into the usual experience of the farlous and oftlmes soul-trying duties that I doubt very much whether any considerable number would be will ing to forego its pursuit for the temp tations of political place and power. I cannot better describe this feeling than to quote the comment made by one of my Nebraska newspaper broth ers a year or so ago upon another brother who, after a temporary absence from the editorial tripod, had resumed it: "He should take the gold cure for the newspaper habit." And the apt rejoinder which another brother made and which will be best appreciated by those to whom the ex perience has come: "He is taking the newspaper cure for the gold habit." It would appear, after all, that a man who necessarily must have so large a fund of information concerning public men and measures as he who lives up to the ideal of the newspaper editor that of the great public educator is the man whose services should be required In lawmaking bodies. But since the newspaper man is he who generally assumes the lead in all great public movements of whatsoever char acter, he not only becomes the target of all 'those who oppose the movement but 'also of those who agree with him on the wisdom of the movement but are jealous of his leadership. And this Is the end of political hopes the graveyard of such ambitions. While the lawyer, too, is necessar- Ily an advocate, yet by the very nature of his business, which calls for tact . . and discrimination, he is in a position I to accept or reject any proposition to swim with the current or face It '; to become the exponent of the popular i " will when the movement is at Its V height, without publicly having had f any part in Its formation and thereby incurring the enmities of the jealous I among his political associates.

Mr. Shallenberger is a native of Illi nois. His father was a member of the Illinois legislature, contemporaneous with the father of Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, at the session before which Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas were candidates for the United States sen ate. Coming to Nebraska at an early age and ever since active in the ma terial growth of the state, he did not become active in politics until 1896 when he become a pioneer in the bi metallic movement, was elected the Nebraska member of the National Bi metallic league and made a whirlwind campaign upon the stump. That cam paign he made his first political speech but he has developed so rapidly that his reputation for powerful eloquence extends far beyond the boundaries of his own district and enables him to do much for those whose cause he pleads. Shallenberger is one of the youngest members of congress, but his record in the short time he has served is highly commended by those convers ant with the conditions, and his friends believe a bright future is in store for him in congress. H. W. RISLEY. "Suburb of Hell" Senator Bacon made a speech on the Philippine bill the other day in which he attacked the policy of re concentration and likened it to the policy of General Weyler in Cuba. Mr. Bacon read a letter from an army of ficer whom he knew personally and for whose veracity he vouched, describ ing one of the reconcentrado camps. The letter said the camp was located In a swamp where rain fell continually and outside of which every living thing was shot. The officer said there were thirty cases of smallpox in the camp and an average of five cases were added each day. Clouds of vampire bats circled continually over the place awaiting the grewsome feast certain to be afforded them each day. The officer said that the camp was "like some suburb of hell." Foraker replied. His defense was that the army had prepared these con centration camps and forced the Fili pinos into them solely because the army loved them so much. They were placed there to keep the ladrones and other robbers of their own race from murdering them. That settles It. The reconcentratlon camps were for benev olent and philanthropic purposes. ? ...

Philadelphia North American, The Host Trans paras, t Fraud Ever Frp- tratad on th Public Tha Court Amanda tHa Bill" No case ever brought in the courts wa3 ever given more publicity than the one brought against the beef trusu The attorney general gave the bill his atentlon and he was aided by a distinguished special attorney em ployed for the occasion and by the fed eral district attorney in Chicago. When the bill came before the judge it was found that it did not even ask for an injunction or any relief from the court and before and proceedings could be taken the judge had to amend the bill by his own action. It is not possible that the three great trust lawyers pre pared such a defective bill through ignorance. It was so prepared by tii rection of the administration. The whole performance was a political fake and the distinguished lawyers acted well their part. No honest man can come to any other conclusion from the undisputed facts. Judge Tuley in dis cussing the action of the court spoke as follows: "While I do not care to criticise Judge Grosscup, my views on the mis use of injunctions are well known. If the packers and others are guilty I believe they ought to have been in dicted, given the presumption of in nocence and the right to trial by jury, and if found guilty sent to the peni tentiary. Is it not time for congress to call a halt upon the use of the in junction by the United States courts?" Regarding the action of Judge Gros scup in, changing the prayer for In junction to conform to his ideas, Judge Tuley said: "I do not think there Is any ground for criticism on that point. A judge has a right to change a bill In this way. It is not unprecedented. 1 havs often acted similarly. A point or some phraseology in the original bill may not be In line with the ideas of the court and the latter may alter it. The fact that the bill in this case was pre pared after considerable deliberation by the government's attorneys does not argue that it is perfect. The court might have grounds for desiring par ticular changes. "Though I think the government authorities are in earnest in this mat ter my opinion regarding the too lib eral use of injunctions is unchanged. It is evident that the president pro poses to use the writ of injunction as a club to hold the railroads and the trusts in order and make them sub servient to the executive power. This is apparently his purpose. "But does the president really mean it, or is it a great bluff in the great game of politics? While Mr. Roose velt must be accorded a record of sin cerity and honesty in public office In the past, it must not be forgotten that he is one of the shrewdest politicians in the country."

FUN0TI0N0FJHE STATE An Address by O. TV. Malar Bafore tha L.aber L.yeemin, Lincoln, Nebraska, May 4, 1909 (Continued from last week.) There are certain things, or factors which might be called elements, which affect the people of a country as a whole very much the same as light, respiration and life blood affect the human being. These so-called ele ments when spoken of collectively are usually called public utilities. With out these public utilities the state can not exist They are as essential to the life of the state as light, air, and water are to the life of man. Money performs very much the same function in a country as blood does In the human body, and therefore should be under the control of the state. The government should not only have di rection of the coining of money, but should control the banking system of the country as well, in order to pro tect the common interests of all the people. Money which i3 the measure of values and the medium of exchange ought never to be entrusted to private enterprise, or the regulation of ita quantity be farmed out to private cor porations or placed In the hands of individuals. Not only should the state have full control of this so-called blood of the country in order to keep it pure and wholesome, but the state should have charge of the channels of circu lation as well, so that the veins and arteries through which the life blood of the nation must flow cannot become clogged or polluted, or the channels misappropriated or diverted so as to turn them into instruments for fur thering private greed or carry out the projects of a particular faction or some party interest instead of . serv ing the common welfare and general good. Railroads are the commercial high ways of industrial society; they are the channels over which all the com modities of life must pass and be transported from one part of the coun try to another. It is just as Important to the health and life of the state that these veins and arteries be kept open, free and sound, as it is for the health of an individual that his circulation and respiration be free and undis turbed. Transportation and the var ious means of public communication, education and sanitation, and the like, should be performed by the state through its government in its various branches. Such functions, as these should be performed by organized so ciety in the interest of the public. These functions cannot be saftly in trusted to any other power, nor can they be bo well performed in any other war. The government is. under a democratic form, the servant of the people; it is the machine through which the state does its work, and It ought to perform all those functions which affect society as a whole. All those things which we call public utili ties should be under the control of the state, while the Individual should be protected in his right to engage in- the various lines of industry where men can compete . with one another upon an equal footing. This will pro tect society In Its public rights and Interests, and yet secure to the indi vidual a sphere In which to act and develop his highest possibilities. But Just where shall we draw the line? This is the question some of you are already asking. Another says. does not your argument ultimately lead you into socialism? It is true that the activities of the state are constant ly extending themselves, and it might seem as if the field of the individuals might be encroached upon. But the increase of state activity does not necessarily mean a step towards social ism, but it ought to mean only a more permanent securing of the individual in his private rights under the new and existing social conditions. The general welfare functions which the state ought to exercise are I unc tions that do not pertain to the life of the state as a personality, but they tend to raise the economic, intellectual and moral condition of society. TJaese functions may be classified under two heads. I would term them socialistic and non-socialistic functions. Those functions that the state may assume which might be exercised by private enterprise I would call socialistic in their nature, and when the state through its agencies performs such functions, to that extent, the freedom of the individual may be said to be curtailed. Public ownership and oper ation of such enterprises as" street railways, gas, water and electric light plants, and the like, are examples of socialistic functions performed by municipalities. These functions, I be lieve, ought to be exercised by public authority, because these enterprises are by nature monopolies, and In their field of operation there can be no free competition. Private interests as well as the welfare of the public demands that the state manage these enter prises. All natural monopolies ought to be controlled by the state in order to protect both the individuals and so ciety. If all the natural monopolies in this country were owned and oper ated by the government, trusts and artificial monopolies would not have such a power. An examination into the basis of all Che trusts and artificial monopolies of this country will show that each and every one of them have their roots firmly planted in natural monopolies. If the railroads were owned and operated by the public we would get the greatest possible service at the lowest possible rate, while un der private enterprise we get the least possible service at the highest possible rate. This is true of all public mo nopolies, and therefore the govern ment ought to control all utilities of this kind. There are other non-essential func tions which I believe the state ought to exercise. They are social duties which if not assumed by the state might not be performed at all. These are duties which are not primarily es sential to the life of the state, yet they are of such a nature that they will promote the general welfare of the people. These functions are usually of an educational character, or are measures which ought to be carried out for the protection of the health, morals, and for the general elevation of the people. Under this head are our public schools, state universities and the various investigations which are made by established governmental bureaus, such as taking the census, making surveys and gathering statis tics. Public libraries, public parks, sanitation, protection of forests and native animals, all these and Innum erable other elevating projects belong to this branch. To this group of func tions should also be added the many governmental acts which result In raising the plane of competition through which organized society has been enabled to transform environ ment and through which the state ren ders it possible for the Individuals to become enlightened and increase their opportunities. Hand in hand with so cial development grow the character istics which build up individuality. The more complex society becomes the more distinctive are the characteris tics and the more dependent each be comes upon the other yet, at the same time, each person becomes more able to rely upon his own individual efforts. Socialists say that the state should own and operate all the means of pro duction and distribution. This, I be lieve, would be an extension of the activities of the state beyond its proper bounds. It would take away from the individual that Incentive and the hope which private enterprise affords, and lack of activity would take the place of thrift and economy. The result would be stagnation. The socialists seek by their plan to overcome, what they call, the competitive system. They contend that their scheme will secure to each individual the fruits of his toll and will enable him to enjoy his just share of all that Is produced. Although, I believe, socialism to be only a theory possibly an ideal state which some have in mind, a condi tion which I do not believe human nature will ever permit no more than pure Individualism has ever been pos sible since society began, yet I be lieve that it Is a good thing that we have these socialistic friends who can counteract the cold-hearted individ ualists. Thus we are enabled the eas ier to maintain the golden mean be tween these two extremes. In a word I would say that the func tion of the state i3 to promote the gen eral welfare. In order to do this the state must first preserve its own ex istence, the importance of which will not diminish as society develops. Then the state must secure to the Individual the greatest possible degree of liberty and secure to each one the widest pos sible field for freedom of action by protecting him against monopolies and by guaranteeing to him free competi tion which will stimulate progress and develop in . every individual his high est possibilities. Along with this the state must direct the development of the Individual so as to better fit them for their duties as factors in the stata and open to its citizens greater possi bilities in general, for "Men, high-minded men. With powers as far above dull, brutes endued In forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and bram bles rude Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, . dare maintain, Prevent the long-aimed blow. And prush the tyrant while they rend the chain; These constitute a state." "Thou, too, sail on O ship of state! Sail on, O union, strong and great! In spite of rock and tempest's roar. In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea! Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee, Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith triumphant o'er our fears, Are all with thee are all with thee J" State Convention Pursuant to action taken at a meet ing of the executive committee held In Lincoln, April 23, 1902, the electors of the people's independent party of Ne braska are hereby notified that on Tuesday, the 24th day of June, A.

Lepubllcan Logic The way In which the charges of cruelty and torture in the Philippines have been met by the supporters of Imperialism has closely resembled the defense in the celebrated case of the woman who had broken a borrowed pitcher. She pleaded not guilty on three grounds: First, she had not bor rowed the pitcher; second, it was broken when she borrowed it; third, it was whole when she returned It. In similar fashion the imperialist advo cates tell us, almost in one and the same breath, first, that few or no cruelties have been committed; sec ondly, that It Is a necessary and proper feature of the war to resort to cruel measures, and that they have been justified by the success of the campaign; and thirdly, that these things were very bad Indeed, but that they have been sternly punished.
