In his speech at the courthouse Monday
morning Hon. Juo. S Blackwell explained
the duty of a lawyer to his client. He said
IL was "the duty OF a lawyer to defend his
client TO the very best OF his ability, even
II he knew the client were guilty. IL Is
his duty to see that the client Is convicted
legally II at ALL" This Is all right, Mr..
Blackwell; but very often when lawyers
know their clients are guilty they defend
them so vigorously as to get them clear,
and turn them loose on a helpless com
munity. Lawyers sometimes browbeat
timid but truthful witnesses, and delio-
erately destroy such evidence. We ask IL
this Is not carrying the thing too far9
The very readable series of papers which
Edward Everett Hale is writing for the
Outlook continues TO grow in interest.
That printed In the February Magazine
number deals with Lowelrs life and his
Friendships In college, and contains some
examples of his poetic work hen he was
one of the editors OF ssHarvardiana." DR..
Hale In thls installment tellS the true
story of LoweIr's suspension from college
lust before graduation, about which for
many years absurd and absolutely IN
founded stories have been circulated. The
true cause of the suspension was simply
aud solely young Lowell's lack of regular
fly In the attendance upon the college
chapel exercises. (S3 a year. The Out

We are in receipt of a letter from a
newspaper friend, asking us to write to
the governor and ask him to pardon a
certain young man sent to the pen for
frain-robbing. An excuse given Is that
che young man was drunk. We do not
feel that It Is onr province to NEEDLE In
Ghings of this sort outside Of our county.
The excuse of Drunkenness is an aggraVa-
tion Of the crime. II the man ought to be
pardoned the citizens OF his county are
che best ones to sign petitions. We do
not want any Lafayette county criminals
pardoned on the recommendation OF out
siders. Besides, 1t has probably cost the
state several thousand dollars to send
him to the pen, and we believe in making
crime odious and IN making criminals
sufier. If further suffering does not bene-
1T the criminal, it has a deterrent effect
