Crooked Ways of Crooked Lawyers.
It is to be expected that the lawyers In
dicted for crooked work should Insist that they
hare dono nothing wrong, and should seek sym
pathy and consolation by asserting that they
nave aone notuing miioreni irom wnat an law- i
ycrs arc constantly doing. Unfortunately, somo of
tho lawyers who have not been indicted offer u
measure of palliation and excuse for their shady
colleagues as If unable to sco any breach of pro
fessional ethics so long ns tho game fetches tho
money.
Whether all the lawyers perceive It or not,
It Is clear to thr layman that there are straight
lawyers and crooked lawyors and also straight
clients and crooked clients, and that tho crooked
clients usually manngo to get Into, partnership
with crooked lawyers.
it Is clear, too. that there are straight wayj
and crooked ways for lawyers to present and
press tho claims of their clients, whether thesa
claims aro legitimate or Illegitimate. Tho
crooked lawyer may not seo anything wrong' in
framing up perjured testimony, in extorting
blackmail money by threats of oxposuro and
disgrace, and In getting possession of funds be
longing to widows and orphans and beating
them out of It, but they cannot make tho gen
oral public agree with them.
With many of theso dubious transactions of
court record, the refusal of the reputable mem
bers of the .bar to tako notice of them, and their
failure to do anything thomselves In tho way
of housecleanlng, unfortunately, docs not holp
matters nor tend to raise the profession In pub
lic estimation. In a word, If It bo truo as
claimed (which wo do not concede), that theso
crooked practices aro common, and counto
nanced by the profession generally, then It is
high tlmo to bring tho business of the lawyer
back to a legitimate and honest basis.
New Trade Commission.
Aside from the plonary powers vested In
three commissioners to be appointed by tho
president, tho interstate trado commission bill
Is notably Interesting for Its completo diverg
ence from the lines of trust control by means
of a fedoral license as laid down by Mr. Bryan
in his 1908 platform. It will bo remembered
that Mr. Bryan domanded "such additional leg
islation as may be necessary to mako it Impos
sible for a private monopoly to exist In the
United States." And among his "additional
remedies" wore:
First A law preventing- a. duplication of directors
among competing corporations.
Second A license system which will, without abrlds-Ins-
tho right of each state to create corporations, or
ItH right to regulato or It wilt foreign corporations,
doing business within Its limits, mako It necessary
for a manufacturing or trading corporation engaged
In Interstate commerce to toko out a federal license
before It shall bo permitted to control as much as
23 per cent of tho products In which It deals, tho
license to protect tho public from watered stock; and,
Third A Inw compelling such licensed cor
porations to sell to all purchasers In nil parts of
the country on tho same terms, after making the
allowance- for the cost of transportation.
Mr. Bryan evidently was not sorlously con
bultod as to the present proposed plan, which
nowhoro scorns to touch his proposition ' of
1D08, Tho Wilson project, which would transfer
all tho powers and duties of tho bureau of cor
porations and tho commissioner, of. corporations
to a commission of threo mombcrs appointed
by tho president, seems to be largely a plan for
regulation by publicity. Indeed, it stresses tho
factor of publicity as a vital olement of control,
all action to bo contingent on preliminary in
vestigations, with tho publicity thereof "loft to
tho discretion" of tho commission.
If tho bill passes, as sooma It will, and In
connection with tho Sherman act and other such
legislation, does not finish "private monopoly,"
then Mr. Bryan may have to prescrlbo again.
Uplift and lifting Up.
The grand Jury may express Its opinion that
tho scattering of tho women of tho town by
abolishing tho segregated district has not ac
complished desired results, but bo far as tho
undoing of what has been dono In this respect,
It is out of tho question whllo tho Albert law
remains on tho statute books. Tho suggestion,
however, that driving tho women from pillar to
post without providing any rofuge for them or
bridge by which they may obtain self-supporting
occupations- doos not wholly fill the bill, is
qulto to tho point. The community has two
equally important duties to perform, first, to
koop unsuspecting women from falling, and
second, to lift those who have 'fallen to their
feet.
The bearing In the Lincoln gas case discloses
the fact that the city has been employing for
beveral months a gas expert at $40 a day and
expenses. Litigation with public service cor
porations comes high, but wo must have it.
After the food women of the church de
clined to remove their bats when requested,

Tho first anniversary banquet and celebration of
tho Omaha Commercial club was a big affair. Tho
speakers jubilantly proclaimed the many things that
had been dono for the city In tho year. Among the
speakers were: Prealdont W. A. L. Gibbon, tho
ncstor of tho club; ex-Governor Saunders, John L.
Webster, Dr. George L. Miller, Edward Rosowater,
Warren Swltzler, C. W. Lyman and others.
Tho chief speakers at St. Patrick's day celebra
tion were: CVJ. Smyth, W. F. Ourlcy, John Baumer,
C. V. Gallagher, Judge Eleaxcr Wakeley. There was
somo fine vocal and Instrumental music. Jo Barton
hit the bull's eye with "The Wearing of the Green."
Surveyor Miller and Con Gallagher made an in
spection of their new offices at the federal bultdlng.
Sclp Dundy left for tho west on another hunting
trip.
The new Long school was fitted up with desks

Tori Years Ago
News was received from Chicago of the death
of Jesse Spalding, well known in Omaha as having
been tho government director 'of tho Union Pacltlo
appointed by President Harrison.
V, E. Mullen, a prominent lawyer of Randolph and
Miss Annie Petrlo of Marengo, la., were married at
the Millard hotel at 11:30 a. m. by Rev. A. L. Mlcklo
of Omaha.
Tho Brooklyn Eagle's staff correspondent, who
had been making a survey of the political field of
the west, wired his paper from Omaha that Mr.
Bryan had not yet succeeded In rounding up the
Nebraska democrats for W. R. Hearst for president,
nor was It likely that ho could. He found them moro
Inclined' to" fco with Judge Parker.'
The tragla death of Major W. H. Bean, chief
commissary, of. Ibe, Department of the Missouri, at
his home, 216 North Twenty-second street, while
his wife was playing the piano, sent a thrill of ex
citement 'through' tho largo circle of their friends In
tho city. Major Bean was a man of rare Intellectual
attainments and a cousin of Jane Addams of Hull
house fame.
Manager Burgess of tho Boyd theater announced
that ho had contracted for Walter Damrosch and his
Now York Symphony company for April 11.
By presidential order, tho repeal of tolls ex
emption is to be driven through congress under
whip and spur. Presumably, there Is the samo
need of urgent haste here that there was for the
Immediate enactment of the currency bill, whkh
after nearly three months is not yet operative.
The Virginia legislature is the latest to turn
down the votes-for-women amendment to tho
Constitution. The attitude of the sputherti
states that constitute the backbone of tho
democratic? party fully explains the refusal of
President Wilson to lend bis encouragement to
the cause.
The Modern Moses.
It Is interesting to note Mr. Rockefeller's
plan of converting a gigantic boulder Into a
fountain of pure running water on his place at
Pocantico Hills. The boulder Is described as
being twenty feet wide and weighing 215 tons,
yet Is but a mere pebble by tho seashore as
compared with tho great power within Mr Rock
efeller's control. He could make a fountain of
oil of It, no doubt If he choso.
But, of course, this Is not the first time
water has been produced from a rock, Tho
mind harks back at once to the bleak desert ol
Zln, when the people of Israel abode at Kadosh,
where Miriam died and waB burled, The story
Is a familiar one. The people in their suffer
ing for drink rose, as UBual, against Moses and
Aaron, who, by tho Lord's direction, found a
rock.
And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation
together before the rook; and he said unto them,
"Hear now. ya rebels: must we fetoh you water out
of this rockT" And Moses lifted up his hand, and
with hi rod he smote tho rook twice; and the water
came abundantly and the congregation drank and
their beasts also.
But the water that came forth was called
the tho "water of Meribah." or "strife." Thoro
will, we may assume, ho no such significance
with the water that springs from the boulder on
the placid Pocantico Hills, where, Instead of
striving and discord, all is serene and peaceful.
There this modern Moses dwells In the majesty
of untroubled and unquestioned authority, as
secure from the bickerings of the malcontent,
yea, even from the grasp of Impertinent sub
poena servers and obtrusive tax collectors, as
If utterly Immune from these and all othor
' worldly annoyances. As for rocks, they aro hla
footstools, ah his very toys. He not only can
strike water from them, but oil as woll, and
I vice versa, can change the oil back Into rooks.
I The very bills of Pocantico are majestic in
; their rocklness. from every cleft and crag of
which might spring a stream of yellow liquid It
but smitten properly. The rod of Aaron did
many mighty works, but the rocks of Rocke-
, feller have done a few themselves.
Twice Told Tales
Another Proof.
Representative Henry, whose objectloh to Amer
ican girls marrying carls and counts Is well known
said at a recent dinner In Waco:
"The tho Cinderella story. Tho prince, you will
remember, rejected tho two old and ugly sisters, and
then the beautiful Cinderella slipped on the glass
slipper and the young man raude her his bride."
Mr. Henry paused, then he added:
"This story Is but another proof that tho girl who
marries a title puts her foot In It" Washington Star,
A DUitureenble Sinn.
' A colored man employed as an office boy In
Kentucky eamo to work one morning with a face
that looked as though he had been run through a
meat grinder. 4
"Henry," demanded his surprised employer, "what
In the world happened to your"
''Well,, sun. boss," explained Henry, "I got Into a
I'll argument las' night wlf another man. and on
thing led to another twell I up and hit at him. Well,

Bread on the Water.
A benevolent old woman in one of the streets
which still retain the red brick houses of old tlmn
New York looked out her parlor window ono day and
saw a man walking up nnd down the sidewalk, ap
parently In great dejection. There was something
pathctlo and appealing In his manner, bo sho took n
dollar bill, put It In an envelopo and wrote on tho
envelope, "Never say die."
She slipped out of tho house In the most casual
manner sh could assume and handed the envelope
iu ma mau as sne pauea mm.
Next day the same melancholy man called at her
bouse and presented her with $10.
"It's funny," he said, "you're the only one that
baoked that horse called 'Never Say Die,' "-New

Women's Activities
Mrs. Von BaualU Is the name of a lady of Den
mark who commands, with the rank of captain, a
vesael running between Russia and England. Sho
took up tho trade of the sea In the beginning simply
as sport, but succeeded so well that she decided to
make a business of It.
Miss Margaret Wilson's particular hobby is thu
sehool center, and the other day In New York sho
had an opportunity to see Just how It worked. She
went to a dance giver, at a publio school In the vil
lage ot Oreenwich. where 400 "neighbors" had as
sembled. She ha4 four partners for one dance and
had a good time.
Among those whom Beth Low, president of the
National Civic federation, has named to mako a study
of the operation of federal and state food and drug
lawa are several women-Miss Maud Wetmore. chair
man ot the woman's department of the National
Civic federation, and Mrs. S, R, Crockett, chairman
of the food and drug committee of the General Fed
eration of Women's Clubs.
A point that may Interest club women who are
looking forward to building club houses was brought
up In West Newton, Mass.. recently. The club col
lected $i,000 for the purpose of tho club house, a Ills
Jones giving $300. Then they decided not to build
the house, but to uso tho money for other purposes.
As Miss Jones had given tho money for a specific
purpose and had collected sums for the some pur
pose; the matter was brought Into the courts.
Aimed at Omaha
JOLLIES FROM JUDGE.
gets hold
Nebraska City Press; They are not
satisfied with dancing the tango after
supper In Omaha. The tango tea has hit
the town an awful Jolt and dancing the
tango is now tho very thing at afternoon
functions from 2 until 5 o'clock. It is not
hard to unacrstand how the women can
get away at th'eso hours, but It Is protty
hard to figure out how enough men to
provide partners for the women can get
away at tho busiest hours ot the day.
Omaha must be full ot aristocratic loaf
ers like New York and Chicago.
Grand Island Independent: Tho special
election nt Omaha again shows that the
adoption of an entirely new charter for
n city at one tlmo Is a difficult matter.
Regardless of the care and pains taken
by a commltteo drafting the samo tho
voters' are slow to consider such an in
strument In Its entirety and for this or
that reason, Jn'the one or the other In
dividual judgment, defeat It. The pro
posed new charter for the city was de
feated. Papilllon Times: Sarpy county Is about
as anxious to bo annexed to soutn
Omaha as South Omaha la to be swal
lowed up by Omaha. Yet there aro those
in our thriving sister city on tho north
who have a deep feeling In their hearts
that some day, not far distant, they .may
bo able to swallow little Sarpy county
bodily. But If they do wo shall then In
sist that .Omaha swallow South Omaha.
Turn about Is fair play. If there aro any
arguments In favor of this annexation
business, then they certainly apply moro
forcibly to the Omaha-South Omaha con
solidation than to South Omaha nnd
Sarpy county. In the recent court house
bond election, now ancient history, It Is
reported on good authority that some
business and professional men, not many,
of South Omaha, got out on tho streets
whero most of our Sarpy county traders
aro wont to congregate and- fought the
new court house bond proposition with as
much vigor as It it were some of their
business. Sarpy county may have trou
bles of Its own; but so has South Omaha,
and from reports we country folks aro
better off as wo are. No consolidation
or annexation for ours.

Waterloo Gazette: The special election
In Omaha resulted disastrously to all tho
propositions .except the seven-for-a-quar-ter
street car fare ordinance. So far oa we
can Judge, this Is the least desirable, or
least needed, but tho one which perhaps
comes the closest to the people after all.
The new charter and Auditorium bonds
were tossed through the transom.
Central City Republican: It Is to be
regretted that Kellcy's army will not
have opportunity to visit Omaha, for we
are confident that Mayor Dahlman would

Lexington Pioneer: A number ot drug
gists In Omaha have been fined and sen
tenced to ten days in Jail for falling to
keep a register ot tho people to whom
they sold liquor. Tho druggists, It ap
pears, sold booze Just the same as tho
saloons do' and made no record of the
sales, as required by law,
Lincoln Journal: By a majority as em
phatlo as Lincoln's of last December.
Omaha has voted down Its home rule
charter. "Was it a vicious charter. We
do not know. That makes little differ
ence anyway. It would have failed had
It been the best charter ever '"wrltterf.
People who dlacusred It generally said
that for the most part It was good,
but ." There you have It Everybody
can find something In a charter that he
dislikes. .Somebody will always be found
to piny on his points of dislike, as we
learned In the case of tho Lincoln char
ter. Since the only way to get to a
home rule basts under the Nebraska law
Is first to adopt a completo homo rule
charter, the home rule amendment to our
constitution appears to havo been a
waste of money and energy, "Wo are
authorized to go swimming, but pro
hibited from going near tho water.
Blair Enterprise: The Omaha Commer
cial club has got a secretary who Is cer
tainly trying to earn his salary by
mooching advertising from the country
press. Ho Is a persistent cuss and his
efforts to get "something for nothing"
from bucolic publishers are brazenly Im
pudent. Lincoln Star: The defeat of, the Omaha
home rule charter by an overwhelming
majority ot the Bmall vote cast Indicates
that the constitutional amendment to
enablo cities to prepare and adopt their
own charters does not till the bill. Un
doubtedly there wore bad features In
tho proposed Omaha charter. Just as there
were some In the proposed Lincoln char
ter which was defeated. It would be Im
possible for any convention to write a
charter that would not contain features
which a large part of the citizenship
would be apt to consider bad. It would
be almost Impossible for a representative
body or citizens to prepare a charter that
would stand fire In an election. Some
would object to It on one ground, some
on another, Just as personal views and In
terests or affiliations were likely tp be
affected, and the groups of objectors for
various reasons, coming to a common
point on election day, are sure to com
prise a force sufficient to defeat the
measure. Possibly it might be different
If a home rule charter were to be pre
pared by a convention so that It might
be submitted at a regular election. The
elections In Omaha and Lincoln have
demonstrated that a majority of the peo
ple of these two cities do not care enough
about home rule to turn out especially to
vote for It.
