BEN AS A LAWYER

REVIEW OF HIS SUCCESSES
He Often Got Winans Badly "Rattled,"
But Never Lost His Own Cool
Self Possession.

Residents Of Indiana arc often asked:
"What kind of n lawyer was President
Harrison7' How did he rank with
other members of the bar when in prac-
tice2'' what were his specialities and
characteristics?' Sin what WAY did be

are asked more frequently now than
formerly. People who supported him
as the nominee Of a party now have an
interest in the man. Even the opposi-
ton. which in the campaign of 81 was

The man had no youth in the proper
sense. He married at twenty, and q
number of dependent relatives made
his cares and responsibilities heavy.
This would have a SOLDERING effect upon
man of more natural gayety. He
had many friends in Indianapolis who
had been worshipers at his grand
fathers shrine not many years before,
and the shadow of a great name,
greater in Indiana even than elsewhere,
may have added to his seriousness.
'For years." continued the speaker,
with more force than eloquence, .shis
nose was held to the grindstone until
the sparks few. Such experiences take
the humor out of life, although in his
case the enforced concentration of mind
upon his calling made a remarkable
lawyer. His six years in the senate
was very beneficial to him. New ex-
periences and contact with men Of
wider cultivation than those he had
been accustomed to meet developed him
in the right direction. When he re-
turned to practice he was broadened
and strengthened in every way and had
lost nothing of his familiarity with the
technicalities of the law. The reverse
of this is apt to be the case with men
who return to practice after period of
public life"
Said another man who had known
him all his life: II doubt il Ben Har-
rison ever took mental recreation vol
UNFAIRLY and of deliberate purpose until
driven to it by the instinct of self-pres-
ervation in recent years. l notice that
he goes to the theater occasionally now
In the first year of the war an amateur
dramatic society gave performance for
the benefit of some benevolent cause in
which there was great local interest.
Mr.. Harrison came with his wife, hav-
ing an air of unwillingness and of being
dragged, or, as Hoosier vernacular has
1t, drug INTO the festivities. Instead
of watching the play and applaud
ing, as 1t was his bounden social duty
10 do, he became absorbed in the
study of proofs of legal brief which
he had thoughtfully brought along in
his pocket. The indignation of the per-
formers was great and the offense
rankles yet in the minds of surviving
stars the only excuse made for him
beng that he had no appreciation OF
art or hunor."

The Vermont fish commissioners, Messrs
John w. Titcomb and ChnrlsaC. Warren,
have prepared aud submitted IT, the Legis-
lature a coditication of the e. ne and fish
laws of the State. Without taking into con-
alteration the merits of all the specific pro
visions of the bill, it is not too much to say
that the enactment of new statute in such
form as here proposed, would mean an ad-
vance of 10 years for tine game and fish in
terosts of the Green Mountain State. 1t is
an old story, and most of us know to our
cost how the obscurites and blind state
ments and conflicting provisions of our pro-
teotve legislation often prevent a popular
understanding of what the law means
The very first requirement OF fish or
game Jaw is that it be intellgl bic, under
stood by the people, the common, every day
average man, who is not versed in legal
technicaiitics nor trained to in terpret stat
utes about the meaning of which, in the
of the Vermont six inch trout law, even
public prosecuting officers entertain "a diff
ference of opinion. If the pubic is expected
to respect and observe statute the public
must understand tue statute, and without
paying attorneys fees to have it explained.
To made the game law plain is to promote
its efficiency. The Vermont laws as now on
tne STATUTE DOCKS are not clear. 10 over
come the difficulty, to put the law into such
simple, direct, Ineligible form that there
may be no mistaking it, has been the en-
deavor of the trainers Of the new hill. 1t
may be explained. for the benefit of others
engaged in like un lertaAing, that the
commissioners aud the game law comm tJee
of the Legislature supplied Themselves with
copies of the Book of the game laws for the
porpose of study Of the legislation of other
States, and they appear 10 have followed
closely the new code adopted by New York.
As is well known, the New York law was
the result OF the work of u special codiica
ton commission charged by the legls a
ture with tie task OF reducing to a clear
and consistent code the chaotic accumula
ton and accretions of years OF bun ling and
tiuk-rlng with tue statutes. While ths New
York law is not perfect IN al details it il
model of arrangement and affords an ex-
cellent standard for the work OF similar
commissions elsewhere, and Vermont has
done well to adopt it.
The commissioners deserve full credit for
their intelligent work in this direction: and
every friend of the State will share our
wish that the bill may bs approved.

The result OF the great Homestead strike
is Just what every sensibl4 person foresaw
t. a 1t must be--the utter failure aud dis
cumtiiurc OF the strikers. After remaining
idle a out five months and suffering Il loss
OF over -, 600, 600 in wages, beside inlet
ing loss OF ice that sum upon their EN-
ployers, the members of the Amalgamated
association officially declared the strike of
and voted to return to work.
If the employees Of the Carnegie steel
works at Homestead had conteuted them
selves with striking little if any fault could
have boon found with them. 1t is one of
tho great privileges OF the laborers Of this
country 20 stop work at any time, provided
no contract is broken Tho Homestead
strikers went beyond this privilege, how
ever, and turned their liberty into license.
They not only injured the property OF
their en- p!oyers, but they early determined
that no other laborers should take their
places in the steel works and they resorted
to the use OF force for the purpose of carry
ing out this determination. As soon
they resortel to violence they not only
turned public sentiment against themselves,
position OF the state whose duty it is to
protect the property as well as the life ana
liberty Of its citizens Having gone thus
far, the cause of the strikers was lost. They
were doomed to suffer iynominious failure
and defeat.
The experience of the Homestead strikers
is but a repetition OF strikes in general.
Few strikes escape defeat and it is rare in
deed that the object sought is gained. The
nearest approach to a victory for strikers is
a comp omise in which their last condition
is worse than their first. And the reason
for this is not far TO seek. II employees con
tent themselves with merely stopping work
TO accomplish their ends il is a comparative
ly easy matter for their employers to secure
new hands 10 fill their places The result
is that almost invariably strikers seek to
prevent new men from succeeding them and
a conflict and violence are practically GER
tain to follow, with a consequent revulsion
in public sympathy against the strikers, and
ultimate failure This is the story OF the
Homestead strike. az well as Of strikes in
general.
The men at Homestead were supported by
powerful OIBhul@dllOl, ana drew hlhteQ

Portable savings bank accounts, SO that il

We confidently expect to see the rapid de
cline of the strike as an attempted means Of
securing redress of wrongs on the part of
labor. Those labor organizations like the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
which have relied upon arbitration and ex-
ercised good judgment, have been more sue
cessful in obtaining their rights than have
others less iudicious, and their example is
being followed more and more. The lesson
OF tho Homestead trouble enforced by seri-
Gus experiences is that the violent strike
must yield to arbitration in the settlement
Of troubles between capital and labor.

Vermont nnd Pennsylvania to establish or

ows; "1he,e mon are drilled as gunntrs,

From the New York SUM-

Perhaps the best way to reconcile COM
munities to the great cost involved at the
outset in establishing a perfect system OF
roads is to get into their minds the concep-
tion that every bad road exacts a tax on
the wagner. in time, in labor, or in wear
or injury to the team. This imposition
may be slight, hut it is constant, day in
and day out; ami If properly reckoned it will
be found TO amount 10 fur more annually,
as roadway tax, than the interest on the
money needed for building proper road
and keeping it in repair.
