As Per Progrwn.
Newa of tho voting, or. rather fail
ure to vpte, in aiojtco U of little more
than perfunctory intercut, aa the in
decisive result was expected and dis
counted from the first. The ballots
cast, though evidently exceeding in
number the Madero election, are not
sufficient to legalise tho choice of a
president, and Ituerta holds on by
defau.lt. Thus the outward situation
is unchanged,
What is the next step toward
bringing order out of chaos in Mex
ico? As the election of members to
congress is not subject to the sarao
restrictions applying to tho choice of
a president, those chosen will proba
bly lose no time in convening, organ
izing and declaring no election fori
President. Unless sonie unforeseen
circumstances intervene, Huerta's
government may then be acclaimed
tjntll ft nV and. valid election is hp)d.
Whether such a round robin would
result differently would depend,
probably, on the sequence of corning
events, Huerta in the meantime, ac
cording to pro-olectlon plana, may
again ask for American recognition,
although nothing has ae yet happened
to cbango tho ground of our original
objections to recognition.

As to Money Stringency.
Money has been supposed to be
"tight" during the last ow months,
as borrowers are well aware. Bomo
light on tho stringency Is thrown by
the tabulation of bank statistics com
piled put of the reports made in re
sponse to tho latest comptroller's
call. Comparing present conditions
with those nearest the same tlmo last
year, deposits in our local banks have
increased $1,869,307, and yet Uiq
loans, have been curtailed by $817,-
280, bolag equal td a withdrawal
from active busliteee channels of' over
12,660,000. Put into percentages,
our banks a year ago had 70.S per
cent of their deposit loaned out as
against loans equal to only 57,3 per
cent of tho deposits now. Taking
tho period betweon the two lftsL
comptroller's calls that .'d from Au
gust to October of this year, deposits
in ,our local baqka (acreaaad $900,
feOO, of which only 497.083 was
added to the outstanding loans, Tho
banks doubtles haye. an explanation

The Bee has aroused the Omaha law
yers by asserting that grafters are bring
ing the bar of that city Into disrepute
and by demanding a legal hausecleanlng.
That there should be a change In ethics
and that the same standard as formerly
should not generally prevail is the (ogle
Of event.
There are so.lnany entries into thn pro
fession these day; there ate such In
creasing numbers of those who are q)k
Ins) to llvo by their wits that It Is lm
possible to maintain the old scruples that
governed. In the legal profession, as an
example, there a not the tamo adherence
to the code there once was. The young
lawyer, renllxlng the strong competjtlon
he has, Is less content to await the com
ing of clients. He goes out after them.
He learn of Injuries and he hunt up tho
eurferer, offering his services, perbeps
for a contingent fee. fie learns of dis
agreements and he hastep to Inform, the
aggrieved that he hag good ground, fpr
action at law, ana of course offers him
his services. This Is what develops tho
ambulance chaser" and the shyster, The
Professional man mut Uyc and aa their
number multiplies the danger to other
wise peaceable persons increases. Th
superfluous lawyers help to get people
Into trouble for the purpose of getting
them out.
The growing complexity of the Bocial
fabric is creating new unrest ainong
those who produce and who must there-
roro near tno economlo burdens.
The name tendency that may be as
serted of the legal profession In Omaha.
has recently been manifested In Soyth
Omaha. At the latter Place the number
ef live stock commission men ha so
greatly Increased that It became neces
sary to Increase the commission charges,
that the army pf middlemen might be
supported.
Thl tqprheavy social condition consti
tute a growing problem. Thero fa a
false potion of gentility going with the
profession and "a corresponding false
Idea about the mental nature of the
