There is good deal Of comment on the re-
cent action Of the West Virginia constitution
al convention to exclude lawyers from the lie
gislature. 1t has been agreed that no attor-
neys and salaricd officers of railroads are te
be admitted hereafter as legislators. The ex-
clusion of the legal profession would be un-
just, absurd, and mischievous. This is an
other Of the ncw-anglcd ideas Of the day
Public officers and honors should be left open
for citizens of all professions-an lawyers
are frequently most useful and valuable mem.
bers of legislative bodies.
