"The lawyer who, to secure
success, either for himself or his

The Sing Gamble,

/ Over eco Indians of the Black
river, Cedar river and Puyallup
tribes have been holding an inn
mense "sing gamble" near Rem
ton, the first event of its kind in
this country for so years or
more, says the Spokane Review
In early days, before the ad-
| vance Of tie white man h d
changed the aboriginal customs,
the Sing gamble" was an an
nual occurrence, and was always
the most important as well as
the most exciting event among
the Indians Of Puget sound. The
revival of the ancient custom at
Renton has proved a bowling
suscess, literally as well as fig
uratively, and the somIer tone
If the tom tom and the blood
curdling chant Of the feather
hedecked bucks make night hid
eous for a radius of two miles.
1he Black ard Cedar river
tril es combined and tried for
tunes with the Puyallul $. The
stake included 40 horses, wagons,
huggies, saddles, blankets, jeNef-
ry, rifles, hed-quiits, shawls,
clothing and 1850 in cash, lie
whole representing $500 worth
of property. The Cedar and
Black Rivers bet everything they
possess, including their winters
food and the clothes they wear. j
The game ran continuously for
100 hours, when the gamblers,
worn out with the long strain,
declared a draw. 1t is played
with one black and nine white
chips, and resembles the ball
and cup game of the white man.
The dealer divides the 10 chips,
rolling cedar bark pulp into
ball around the two fives. He
then juggles the balls, and the
other side chooses one of its men |
t. guess which ball holds the
black chip. Sixty-six points is
the game, each guess counting a
point. The sid that is behind |
tries to cut down the scors of its
opponent, and by the terms of
the game it cannot score so long
as the opposing side has a point
This makes the game desperate
and protracted. The Renton
contest was the second drawn
game in the experience OF the
players. /

"There is no duty imposed up
on a court more important thar
that Of preserving, to the best OF
Its power and ability, the pro
fessionai integrity and phrity oi
its bar. Courts are established
for the administration of law in
justice. The attorneys who con
stitute its bar are an integral
part OF the court; without them
the court would he dead en-
gine SO far as the ACCOMPLISH
ment OF the ends of it's creation
go. The duties and obligations
imposed upon the judges OF
courts are no more binding or
obligatory than are those to
which their position constrains
the attorneys who constitute the
court. The pEofessi ,nal ccn-
duct OF each and every member
OF the bar is matter in which
all are specially interested. No
member has the right nor should
he be permitted to bring reproach
upon the guild
There was time when any
scoff or gibe the poet or romancer
saw fit to cast upon the lawyer,
was received without question as
deserved obloquy. But that
'ule has never obtained in this
country. The history of the
legal profession in this country
is the history of the republic.
America can proudly and fear,
lessly challenge comparison OF
her lawyer sons with any the
world has ever produced. No
grander models can he found for
the student Of law than our own
country presents, and it should
be the earnest desire and endeav-
or OF every member of the pro-
Iession that the standard ol
professional excellence be not

the American bar is second t.

defections from the line of pre-
'essional duty are becoming dis |
turbingly frequent. Perhaps.
under all the circumstances, this
IS less q matter Of surprise than
regret. !
Lawyers are only men and
subject to the same influences
that act upon other men and ii
would, perhaps, be unjust to ex-
pect that, in an age and a coun-
