The Code of Legal Ethics.
Of all professions, presumably
governed by a special coda of ethics,
that of tho lawyer would naturally
be expected to rank first In the
matter of observing these rules of
common honesty. The business of
the members of the legal profession
le to deal with lawvand their appli
cation to public and prlvato rights.
They know tho difference between
technical evasion or . halr-BpllttIng
distortion and substantial compll
anco, which, In other words, means
doing tho right thing. Yet strangely
and notoriously tho code of legal
ethics is disregarded and violated
with Impunity by those who know
hotter more, wo bellovo, than tho
codes of any other profession oi
calling,
That crooked lawyers are too
common, no reputablo lawyer will
deny, but If a legal crook has ever
been disbarred from practice in our
local courts, It must havo been so
far back that people cannot remem
ber. Precisely that Is what suggestu
the question, If those who subscrlbo
to a professional 'code and rely on it.
as tho lawyers are supposed to do,
to protect themselves In their deal
ings with ono another, and to pro
tect other people from being victim
ized by legal charlatans or holdups,
will not live up to their solemn ob
ligation, by ranking tho rest of them
livo up to them, of what good is It
all? Just put this down as axio
matic: Not a lawyer Could turn n
crooked deal more than once If tho
othor lawyers were courageously de
termined to keep tho profession
purged of crooks.
Snail Farmer and Heat Supply.
It Is aulta agreed that a larger
production of live Btock by tho small)
farmer, would tend to simplify the
problem of meat supply and cost to
tho consumer, but as Mr, Bplllman,
the agriculturist In charge of
farm management in the bureau of
animal Industry, suggests, tho small
(armor, no more than tho largo
farmor, Is In tho business puroly for
his health or philanthropy. He
probably cut down on his live stock
raising when H ceased to pay him
as woll as other lines of farming.
Mr. Spllfman says that under pres
ent conditions it Is not very profit
able Industry for him, naming as
adverse factors the, complicated
middleman system and the lack of
competition among the packing In
terests in buying raw' material.
While eattle bring large 'prices, the
big margins, he says, do not fall to
the producer of the small herds.
It teams superfluous to recount
tho TO-ultlpllejty sGf vfactors, such, as
the machinery ef rVta'U t,rade, .fas-,
tldlous tastes and demands of cnn.

ored as parts of this problem. And
how are we to do away with them?
Mr. Bplllman thtaks a way might be
found through publlo abattoirs for
the benefit of the small farmor.
such aa aro maintained In Bonio Eu
ropean countries, whore tho meat

he says, have become a crying need.
Here, again, we look to the older
eouatrles so eftea regarded as

methods of haslaees. Perhaps,
after all, the puhllc abattoir will be

Cia Uviap Hyt,
Maay sermons have beea preached
oa the value of clean living among
athletes, specially professional ball
players. The great Mathewson la
constantly held up aa an object les

tunately, teaches the lesson, him
solf, by precept as well as example.

to urge the Importance of this es
eentlal element of succoss. And be
sides Mathewson, such notable ex
amples aa "old Cy" Young, Eddie
Plank, Frank Chance. Itodle Wal
laco and, In fact, many others might
be mentioned, for base ball today Is
more aad more played by men
moral and Intellectual as well
physical stamina.
But the same principle holds good
In all athletics. Parmer Burns and
BUl Muldoon, and even Frank
Qotch, stand forth as examples of
It
In the i "ancient and honorabl
game" of wrestling. Burns at
60
could never have thrown men half
his age, and much larger, If he had
spent his substance In riotous living
In his early years.
Bo It goes in all the walks of life,
clean living, which Involves clean
thinking, wins and pays, Just
dissolute living brings Us certain
penalty of failure and remorse. Not
many men of sound wisdom and ripe
experience will preach the need
"sowing wild oats" as a prerequisite
to ultimate sucess or strength
character, although, of course.
must not be retarded as irretrieva
bly the downfall of youth. But the
testimonies of maay who have tried
it are all on the side of the wisdom
of avoiding It. Solomon found that
It did not pay, and urged all others
to "Avoid It, pass not by It, turn
from It and pass away."
The boy and youth with time to
tarry at tho flcshpots of Intemper
ance is not tho ono usually sought
after by tho business man today. In
the game of life, as In the game of
base ball, he Is very speedily
"benched" and then "sent back to
the minors," or released outright.
The game Is to tho swift, and he is
not the swift. All wisdom, philos
ophy and experience aro on the side
of clean, sober Industry.
The "Habitual" Criminal.
A few weeks ago The Bee called
attention to, and commented on, tho
observations of an experienced
woman prison worker, narrated in
an article in Scrlbner's, knocking
tho props out from under various
commonly accepted fictions about
convicts. Tho second article in the
current number by the same writer,
Winifred Loulso Taylor, Is oqually
significant In smashing prevailing
notions about tho "habitual" crim
inal. In the first place, wo aro re
minded that our definition of tho
habitual criminal, or classification
of him. Is purely arbitrary, based
not upon the number of offenses ho
may havo committed but upon tho
number of times ho has been caught
at it and tontonced. Under most of
our Indotermlnate-sentenco laws tho
hardened dosperado with a lifelong
career of outlawry, but for tho first
time mado to answor for his mis
deeds, is "a first offender," while
tho tempted boy who has slipped
twice while tho law was watching
can havo nono of tho benefits, which
are withheld from him on tho theory
that ho k an "habitual" criminal.
Again, it is tho prevailing impres
sion spread on faith, as it requiring
no propf, that tho Influence of the
older and hopeless convicts Is con
stantly cxertod to teach crime to tho
younger ones. Against this read
this excerpt from tho article referred
to:
I am glad to quoto In this connection
the words of on experienced warden of
n large eastern penitentiary, who says!
"I havo yet to find a case whoro I be
lieve that crime ho been taught by older
criminals to younger ones. I believe, on
tho contrary, that tha usual advice of
tho old criminal to tho boys is, 'Sea what
crime has brought me to, and when you
get out of hero behavo yourselves.' " My
whole study of "old-tlmers" vorlfles this
statement.
It Is almost ncodlcss to ndvort to
the fact that all our social utago
settlng Is particularly arranged to
keep tho convict down after ho
comes out of prison, and that tho
easy thing for him to do. Is to do It
over again, and the hard thin for
him to do is to got oa his feet, main
tain his self-respect and cam an
honest livelihood. The plea Is made
that wo havo beon giving too ex
clusive attontlon to "the first of
fender," and whllo not abating that
Intorest, wo should devoto more
thought and onergy to the so-called
"habitual" criminal.

ncartB, babies or other dear ones in
their watch cases, fearing that Hntin,.
ort them might divert their ralnda
from the time and lead to grave con
sequences with the 'train, "it mav
seem like a small matter," observes
Mr. Park, "but. after all. it la thn
little things that count"
Which, of course. Is too trlta to
neod saying. And among the little
tmngs that count fbr safety on rail.
roads are tho very beet automatic
signals and kindred devices to pre
vent wrecks; no overworking of en
gineers and firemen, no running
trains' at excessive speed to mako up
lost time, no inferior or dilapidated
rolling stock or roadbed. The road
over which Mr. Park presides has
dqubtless made provision for all these
little things, but somo roads have
not. Very recently we read tho har
rowing details of a wreck on a New
England road that had hot To mn

The' Case of Sun Yat Sen.
in view of President Yuan Shi
Hal's "well known hostility" toward
Dr. Sun Yat Sen, whom he has ar
rested on tho charge of the theft of
2,000,000 taels, the San Francisco
Chronicle hopes that the "founder
of the Chinese republic" will not be
forced to undergo a trial In China
It bases this appeal on "the Inter
eats of humanity and Justice," be
Moving that Sun will surely be con
vlcted If tried In the land now ruled
by the Yuan Shi Kal admlnlstratlqn.
Sun Is the founder of the Chin
republic, at least to the extent n
crystalllxtng the sentiment through
which It was brought forth, and he
did what to the world outside seems
a magnanimous thing In voluntarily
stepping aside and preferring Yuan
8hl Kat, premier of .the old Manchu
dynasty, for the provisional presi
dency; which proved a stepping
stone to constitutional presidency.
In spite of the fact that Dr. Sun
afterward fomented the revolution
in southern China, which for a time
harassed the Yuan government,
but came to naught, his former
services to the country and self
effacement for Yuan loom large
enough on the horizon to entitle
him to tho fullest possible measure
of consideration, particularly so
stneo ho and his friends deny the
charge against him, denouncing it
as a part of an intrigue Intended for
his political destruction.
Yuan Shi Kal Is admittedly a
great man; he waB even as prime
minister of tho old dynasty reforrod
to as "tho strong man of China."
But evidently his strength of ambi
tion thrcatons to undermine his
hold on the confidence of tho peo
ple, who are already charging him
with a secret attempt to found a
dynasty of his own upon the recon
structed Dun government. Evi
dently the courao of democracy has
many turna and torrents before It In
this "oldest of empires," but all tho
friends of China may share tho hope
expressed that Sun Yat Sen,
whether ho bo patriot or plrato, will
not fall tho victim of a political con
spiracy or Intrigue.
The Russian Jew in America.
An accepted public school author
ity says children of Russian Jewish
families lead in their class room
work, which they pursue with zeal
akin to a passion. Though many pf
tho little boya sell papers on the
streets and do other odd Jobs to help
support tho families, they are punc
tual and regular at school. Many
fathers and motbors, together with
older children, are to bo found In the
publlo night schools, grinding away
at books denied them In earlier
yoars. Wherever they locato among
us theso Immigrants practice thrift
and Industry with almost religious
fervor, and remarkable success, set
ting valuable object lessons to thoso
about them.
And thcao are tho people Russia
evidently likes to persecute. How
is It that as soon as ho getB out of
Russia Into a land of tolerance, of
Hborty, of equal opportunity regard
less of race or color or creed,
tho Russian Jew rises by his own
powers la competition with the very
best of all other peoples? How Is: It
that only In Russia ho la accused of
Imaginary crimes? It may bo worth
whllo to say In this connection that
as a rule Amorlcan broadllnos are
not formod extensively, American
prisons and asylums not filled with
Russian Jews.
Somo .day perhaps a way may bo
found to intervene In Russia In be
half, not only of tho persecuted Jew,
but of civilization itself. It is a
poor commentary .on . what wa call
the "comity of nation" that it has
no remedy for such medieval des
potism and Intolerant cruelty. - '
Why, sure, If It can be done In
Omaha, It can be done In every other
city, and it caa be done by the state
and nation aa well. Let our demo
cratic United States senator sponsor
the plan of his bosom friend Howell
to lovy a special occupatlbn tax of
at least 15 per cent on all the rail
roads of tho country and return
them their money gradually In ex
change for the property.
Hurrah! George Fred Williams,
who he been hewing wood and car
rying water for Mr. Bryan nearly
twenty years blindly without asking
questions, la to havo his reward In an
appointment as minister to Greece.
It haa taken George Fred a loag time
to land, during which time he has
gone after about everything In sight;
but nothing succeeds like success.
But why didn't he think of that
la connection with the purchase of
tho water works In which the people
of Omaha woro stung to the tune of
nearly $7,000,000? Why didn't he
save our money for us by putting a
tax of 15 per cent on the old water
company, and then buying tho plant
back with tho company's own
money?
All social workers agreo that It Is
not necessary for a city to tolerate
street corner beggars capitalising
sympathy for maimed limbs, or lost
eyesight. If theso unfortunates
havo a rightful claim upon society,
which many of them do have, they
Should be provided for In another
wny.

FOB. THE LIVING.
B. A. Quest, In Detroit Free Press.
If you like a brother here,
Tell him so:
If you hold his friendship dear.
Let him know; I
AH .the rosea that you spread
On hU bier when he Is dead
Are not worth one kind word said
Years ago.
You can help a brother now
If you will
Smooth the furrows from his brow,
You can kill
The despair that's lr. his heart
with a word, and ease the smart
So why stand you now apart
Keeping still?
You can help a brother when
He Is here:
He would hold your praises then
Very dear.
But absurdly you stay
And withhold what you could say
That would cheer him on his war
For his bier.
What, I wonder, If the dead
Saw and heard
What Is done and what is said
Afterward,
Would they utter In reply?
Would they smile and ask us why
When the time to help was nigh,
No one stirred?
"Keep your roses f6r the living."
They would say.
"Waste no time in praises giving
Us today;
Strew some living brother's way so.
If you ulM another say so
For the thing that now you praise so
Is but clay."
