II Is interesting to know that the fair sex
are keeping up with the band wagon. The
Petty Enterprise says:
Women doctors are rapidly increasing IN
Ell gland and they are making poth monty
and reputation.
The medical profession affords good field
for female advancement. kindly disposi-
ton and a sympathetic nature go long way
In sick room, and when these woman'y
characteristics are backed UP by talent we
do not see why the lady doctor should not
hold her own against all corners.

The Colorado Spokesman treads on danger
GUS ground when it ventilates the following
doctrine:
A recent writer of distinguished ability and
wido acquaintance holds to the opinion that

when by this means murderer is turned
loose in tho land charge ought to lie against
the attorney just the same as against an ao-
cessory to crime.
It is n difficult task to draw the line where
lawyers duty should end In his defense or
person charged with crimc. That certain
lawyers knowingly exercise their skill and In
nuence in obtaining the liberation of men
whom they know viola'ors of the law, and
that they are willing to resort to fair or foul
means to accomplish this ond, is deplorable
as we'll as nu incontrovertible truth. The
courts of the country ring with their speeches
In defense of notorious criminals. many Of
whom are cod-biooded murderers. and the
practice has become common that evan

There was time when the comforting of
