John 7. Norton is quite well known

was o TIC be admired for its recti.
tude. He therefore came to Cheyenne
as a nan with a record. 1t was called
In question a year ago when he tried
to break into the supreme court. The
committee looked him over and report
ed adversely, saying on the side. that
they must draw the line somewhere.
He has figured here in quite a number
of shady transactions and more espe-
cially as a shyster attorney. but now
he m forth in the plain role OF a
swindler.
Our laws are pretty lenient toward
the shyster. but they fit very close to
the new profession adopted by Norton.
He is now in the clutches OF the
United States, which has a way OF
dealing IL justice that is hard to
evade.
Lawyers are the chief instruments
in making the laws OF the nation and
the states. The bench and the bar
are necessarily of that profession. Elk.
%ecutive officials are largely members
of the bar, and in all cases their Off
cial acts are guided by the opinions OF
attorneys elected or appointed for that
purpose. Thus it happens that the gov
ernmental responsibility of this great
profession is almost plenary. And
this fact should stimulate its reputable
members to energetic effort against
the great and steadily increasing evil
of the shyster.-Cheyenne Leader.
