Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1895-02-16

Some of the various book compa-
mics interested in the passage of the
school book bill by the House of
Delegates and State Senate are issu-
ing circular letters derogatory to
other companies which are trying to
have their own books adopted. The
one we noticed, particularly called
attention to the use of Objectionable
terms in new physiology. While
we have no axe to grind, it behooves
the Legislature not to adopt a book
that yerges on the obscene, yet they
cannot but see the force of the saw,
"Call spade, a spade" They should
consider that even some of the
words of prattling infancy have their
foundation in terms that to us would
seem most vulgar, were they uttered
otherwise than in perfect innocence.

An effort has been made to lease
these historic springs to an indiyid-
ual said to be backed by syndicate
and a regular battle is being waged
oyer the matter, and delegations pro

in reference to it. We very much

can or will be permitted. 1t is a
heritage that should be continued,
without either assignment or aliena-
tion of any kind. The number of
trustees should be reduced in order
to be better able to get work

be disposed of at fair price, would
it not be better to put them up at
public auction and not at private rem

there should be an approved guaran-

PROJECTION FOR LAWYERS

The passage of bill TO prevent
quack lawyers from practicing in
this State is being urged upon the
Legislature by the West Virginia
lawyers. There is no doubt but that
the present law is too easy regarding
the admission of candidates, and & C
proposed measure is by no means t. o
severe. 1t provides that an appli.
cant shall announce his intention of
entering the profession and pursue a
two years course Of study thereafter.
He must then apply to the Supreme
Court for admission, and after a
thorough examination, if passed with
proper percentage, he will be grant
ed license. The late Judge Green
always favored this measure, and to
show the necessity therefor he once
told of an examination he gave to a
justice of the peace, who by reason
of considerable practice ''opined"
that he was sufficiently qualified to
practice law. When asked what the
greatest estate man could have in
land he promptly replied ''about 500
acres" and that, in his eyes, was an
enormous amount. Needless to say
he did not pass. There are too many
young men who have a gift ofspeech
that will assume themselves qualified
and by reason of partiality or schem-
ing will Obtain license. We hope
the bill will pass, and additionally,
trust that bar associations may be
formed in every county for the pro-
lection of lawyers in many other
cases. Many legal questions are APP
parently solved by persons other
than lawyers, and the advice when
followed causes litigation that will
often continue many years. resulting
most disastrously to the person who
could have saved time, trouble and
money By applying to lawyer in
the first instance.

that the name of the State might be

effort is shown to take away the

Does the Statesman endorse both
these propositions and recommend
them to the people?
