The state bar association is in dis
favor with the newspaper fraternity for
shabby treatment shown the pencil
showers at Monday evenings banquet
In honor of the memory of Chief Justice
John Marshall. The newspaper boys
when they appeared at the doors of the
banquet room were curtly informed
they could not go within. The commit
tee seemed to be imbued with the feel
I ing that the "profesh" was on hand
for the sole purpose of getting good
"feed." The committee finally con-
sented to permit the newspaper repre-
sentatives to stand around the room
but the latter spurned the offer, wish
ing to maintain their self respect. The
information is obtained second hand
that Judge William r. Day, of Canton
whose topic was, Judicial Indepen-
dence," said that the judiciary is al
ways pure and above suspicion, no mat
ter what the surroundings are. The
sword and purse belong to the execu-
tive and legislative departments. The
Judge paid mastery tribute to the
man in whose honor the assemblage
had met. He also referred to the mo-
mentous questions now before the su.
preme court of the land as to this coun.
try's right to acquire and Setain new
territory.
