ETHICS.

Butte Mining World: Some OF ou'
esteemed exchanges in discussing news
paper ethics do not seem to recognize
the difference between an editorial
opinion on the one hand and q new
item on the other. Original editorial
matter, involving the discussion OF top
les along new lines, should never be re-
produced by Q newspaper without ex-
tending proper credit. News items. or
the contrary, are common property after
having once been published, being ex-
pressions of fact instead Of opinions.
For q newspaper to have its news items
''stolen" is . compliment, as ii implies
confidence in its statements. When IN
editor doubts the correctness Of . news
item, or does not wish to 60 on record
as vouching for the statement Of another
he invariably gives credit to the paper
from which the item is taken. II will
readily be seen thai the distinction be-
tween editorial opinions and news items
is . broad one. The writer does not
PROFOUND this as > dogma in the creed Of

Nevada Lawyers and sagebrush
Methods.


The San Francisco Chronicle Of the 2ssh
NH. ssys: The Cspron will contest took
on a favor Of the ssgebrush in Judge
Coffey's court yesterday. The favor was
furnished by Henry Msysnbsum, o OF
Nevsda's oldest and most successful
lawyers. Msyenbaum has been in the
case from the beginning IS one OF the
counsel for Judge Fitzgerald Of Nevsds
and the principal iessiee in the will
which the three stepdsughters OF ospron
are seeking 70 have set aside. The sue
cesses Of Attorney Msyepbsum at the Me-
ysda bar have made him famous. Hei is 9
man Of years and distinguished appear
snce. His features are clean shaver and
| give him an appearance not unlike the
| pictures Of Abraham Lincoln. Over in
Nevada they try cases in q fashion o.
times breezy and ct all times free and
easy. Attorney Msyenbsum appeared in
the trial of the Cspron case yesterday fol
the fret time. He brought the Nevada
breeze with him, and the court session
was one which neither Court nor juror
will 1901 forget.
The Nevada method Of examining wit
nesses lie as novel o. IL 10 effective
Much Of the testimony yesterday had ref
erence to the fact that Capron had col
ored blood In h.s veins and that he wa
exceedingly sensitive to criticism on tina
score. William Psrdy was one Of the wit
nesses called by Attorney Msyenbsum Of
that point. The witness was asked II Ca
prom had not complained to him that hi
s~tepdaughters had caused him great sor
row by referring to Capron As . Niger
J. O. Campbell, one Of the attorneys TO
1.-THE contestants, objected 10 the question
as leading. and Judge Coffey sustained tn
objection. A dozen times did Lswye
Mayenbaum seek to frame his question 8
that IL would meet C~smpbell's objection
Finally he had resort to what is common
Nv known as the Nevada method OF eysd
ing ieholnS questioue.
"Now, Mr.. Witness" he said, persus
sively. 81 have given you a hint. 70
know what 1 want. Just answer th
question that way"
The reply Of the witness was lost ami
the laughter which greeted the Mayer
baum question. even Attorney Campbe
participating In the general mirth.
The Nevada method had another prac
tical application during the cross-exsmir
alton Of attorney William Hurlbut, also
witness for the will. Attorney CampbeI
also put s question and demanded an an
swer either Yes or "No." The witnef
hesitated until attorney M~syenbaum coul
stand il no longer. "Yes," said the sag
OF Nevada. and 90 the words sounded o
the quiet air Of the courtroom the sam
answer Was returned BY the witness.
On this occasion attorney Campbe
looked really panied. 81 would like I
knog,n he said, "who is TO do the testify
ing In this case, the witness or counsel.
Again Mayenbaum came up smiling. 18th
witness nodded" he said. al don't unde
stand q nod, and so ! told him "Yes"
that's the answer that I wanted. and I jus
let him know" Hurlbus admitted bot
nod and "Yes," and again an importaD
answer found Its way into the case in tru
Nevada fashion.
