A YOUNG LAWYERS POINT.

Members of the Baltimore bar are
telling this story of one of their young
professional brethren: When the act
prohibiting lawyers from soliciting
cases at the Jail was passed few
years ago the lawyer in question con-
ceived the idea that it was unoonstitu-
tional. With that idea in his head he
sought an interview with a well
known member of his profession.
'1 am sure the law is unconstitu-
tional, the young lawyer said to the
elder, ''and I propose to make a test
case by having myself arrested for
violating it,"
"Why do you think the law is uncon-
stitutionaI?" asked the elder lawyer.
Because it is a restraint of trade, I"
the young man replied
The young lawyer was serious, but
il took the elder some time to recover
from his surprise 1t is needless to
say that the test case was never made

BACON ON CANAL TREATY.

Senator Bacon, while not opposing
the ratification of the Nicaraguan canal
treaty, criticises with considerable de-
gree of effect the provision that guaran-
tees the absolute neutrality OF the
canal.
He points ont that in case of war this
guarantee might operate to the great
disadvantage of the United State.
There is much in Senator Bacon's
point to be considered. The United
States shonld be particular not to fur
nish a possible eremy with a club
with which their own heads might be
beaten.

AWAY WITH PRIZE MONEY EVIL

Renewed Indignation against the
prize money system in the navy has
been aroused ~ the publication OF
official alIotments in connection with

nearly S26, 600 in prize-money, while
Admiral SchIey, who was in the fight

CLARK was) participant in the battle,
will receive over s14, 600 Captain Chad
wick gets 90 per cent more than Ad-
miral Dewey got for destroying the
Spanish feet at Manila.
The whole prize-money system is
barbarous and wrong, declares the
Norfolk Landmark If it hasn't al
ready been abolished, it ought to be
abolished without delay. And even
under such barbarous and discredi-
ablelaw, it is hard to see how Samp
son and Chadwick, who were not in
any great battle during the war, could
be made to receive more than twice as
much az the commodore and captains
who destroyed the Spanish feet at
Santiago. The general feeling about
this prize-money business is expressed

FOR HOME BEAUTY
Meeting Called to Discuss Sys-

Rock Island.
MR.. JACKSON LEADS MOVEMENT
Ladies to Gather Tomorrow After
noon at Residence Of Mrs.
T.. w. Hurst.

In furtherance of the idea he has
entertained for some time. of organ
izing an association which shall have
for its object the systematic orna-
mentation of the homes of the city,
as heretofore announced in The Ar
gus, Hon. William Jackson has in
vited a number of ladies' to meet at
the home of Mrs. Z. w. Hurst tomOr-
row afternoon at , o'clock. The
plan Mr.. Jackson has in mind has
been fully outlined in The Argus, and
it viii! suffice now to say that it is
one that should enlist the coopera-
ton of all who take pride in the city
and all that goes to make it attract
i've and beautiful.
What One League Has Done.
Mr.. jackson calls attention to the
fact that there is a little town in
New Jersey where an improvement
league has done more TO cleanse and
beautify the place at an expense of
less than 500, than the town council
has accomplished by expanding
thousands of dollars in the ordinary
way. The league began by offering
prizes for clean back yards and al
lt.NS- anu NiiCh lOA tilV liNlAlN'N NihN-
covered fence, the finest vegetable
plot anu the most beautiful Towering
plant. 1t enlisted the active interest
of the boys and girls, and got them
to pick up waste paper and such
things from the streets; to keep the
school yard neat, and also the vacant
lots. In six months time the town
became particularly attractive and
clean. and the death rate has percep-
tibly decreased.
The Improvement Ideals open. Mr..
Jackson thinks, to Rock Island.
