JUDGE REAGAN'S ADVICE.
Advises Young Men Not to Enter the
Law-Says There too Many Now

Judge Reagan advises young
men not to enter the profession of
law, because, he says, there are
now more lawyers than clients.
True, but when we remember the
vast amount of personal damage
suits that are being filed daily, can
we grasp the vast possibilities
which lie before the young man
who secures a law license and lays
in wait for the first man who is in
jured while employed by a firm
able to pay a judgment. A prom
inent railroad attorney of Fort
Worth said in recent interview
that the damage suit industry was
on the wane, according to his OBJ
servation, and he was not quite
snre just what caused a falling off
The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1904-12-10

in the number of damage suits,
particularly against railroads. This
lawyer might have obtained a very
reasonable explanation for this IN
the fact that public scorn has been
turned against the personal damage
suit industry and juries are refus-
ing to give judgments as freely as
they once did,
If one could obtain a list of all
the personal damage suits filed III
the United States during the past
few years, he would have collec-
ton Of rare interest. A recent
case is shown where the limit was
apparently reached i'll this respect.
1t is not stated where, but the
Arkansas Gazette tells Of suit for
damages amounting to 81, 900 based
on the injury sustained by young
girl who fell through a rotten
board in the porch of a farmers
family she was visiting. Tie cir
was a guest of the farmer and after
eating a hearty dinner which was
probably cooked by the farmer s
wife, the girl walked out on the
porch. She happened to step on
rotten board which gave way and
cause her to sprain her ankle.
She subsequently fled suit against
the farmer for 1000. In Jeffer
son county, but a few days ago, a
suit was filed in the district court
in which the plaintiff asked for
large sum because a window of
the passenger train upon which he
was riding fell and cut off the small
finger of his hand. These are every
day instances, and yet Judge Rea-
gan says there is no room in the
profession of law for young man.
1t would appear that there is plenty
of room for the right sort of young
men to take up the profession of
law and make it an honorable pur-
suit and give to it that high stand
ard of dignity and distinction
which it claimed when Abraham
Lincoln, Daniel Webster, Patrick
/ Henry and such other men were
lawyers. If "a young man will en-
ter the law profession and eschew
personal damage suits and politics
he has The grandest opportunity
offered by the world for becoming
/ a great and useful man.-Beau-
mont Journal.

tinue to raise big cotton crops be-
cause the land IS favorable and be-
cause there is money in it. But the
boil weevil has taught the farmer
of the Lone Star State a lesson that
will long be remembered; that is,
not rely wholly upon any one crop
Last year they began 20 diversity
and this year the diversiication
was still greater. Next year the
cotton crop with most farmers, in
stead of being dominant, will be
one of several crops that can be
marketed al home. Cotton can be
raised more prohtably IN Texas
than any ether locality where the
plant is acclimated. These are
reasons that will explain why Tex
as viii always hold its place among
the cotton States aud uphold the
supremacy of America in the pro-
duction Of cotton.

THE federal Judge who took it
upon himself to reprimand the jury
in the Withers case at Beaumont,
and discharge them from further
attendance upon the court, has set
a dangerous precedent, and one
wholly beyond the pale of his au-
thority. The jury was inpanelled
to try The case and when its YER
dict was rendered, the judge had
no further authority in the matter,
and hisren1arks are considered en-
tirely out of place and very pref
judicial.

Texas VIII Always.

Texas IN 1908 produced 81 per
cent of the entire cotton crop of
the United States, yield that net
ted the planter the magnificent sum
of $3.50, 600, 900. Though the yield
was less than that of former years,
the profits were greater. More than
any other State probably Texas has
felt the ravages of the boil weevil,
but no insect has long withstood
the opposition of man, and the ex-
termination of the pest is but a
matter of time Texas, according

Ignorance of Game Laws.

Alice, Texas, Dec. THE fact
that many people are still utterly
ignorant of the present game law
was innocently illustrated the other
day at a nearby market for hides,
when a man drove in with over
400 pounds of deer skins. Of
course, he could not find a buyer,
and returned to the Rio Grande
greatly surprised that it was con-
trary to law to handle such guam
titles of deer hides.

STRIKING MINERS APPEAL
TO Mr.. ROOSEVELT
Charge Governor of Colorado With
Violating Federal Constitution.

DENVER, Col, March PA special
train bearing troops left Denver for
Telluride this afternoon. The entire
force of 800 men will be under COM
mand of Gen. Bell. Gov. Peabody said
that he declared San Miguel county in
a state of instruction because Of the
representations made to him by public
officials and citizens of the town, who
stated that body of men were arming
outside of the county to join with men
in the county for the purpose of de-
stroying property.
A dispatch received today from Tel
luride, which had been censured by
Capt Buckley Wells, contained the
news that twenty Films left that place
today. It is inferred from this fact
that the deportation of strikers and
their families has been resumed by the
military.
1t was reported today that the West
ern Federation of Miners had made a
second appeal to President Roosevelt
to send federal troops to Colorado.
The union men take the ground that
Gov. Peabody put martial law in force
at Telluride to prevent the injunction
against citizens from becoming opera
tive. It is further stated that the gov
ernor has prevented the deported men
from enjoying their full rights as loyal
American citizens and they therefore
contend that Gov. Peabody is violating
the federal constitution.

ey and Papers.

trial of Edward e. Farley on the charge
of ringing" the mare Aimless as Sarah
June 16 last, F. J. O'Mara of New Iberia,
La, today testified that Sarah Black was
his property on the day that the alleged
ringing" took place and that he is the
present owner of the mare. John Nay
lor, Of Cincinnati, trainer, testified that
he sold Sarah Black in 1900 to Farley and
Murphy for $500. He also declared that
he was in Detroit ON the day after the
alleged crooked race and that Farley then
turned over to him his money and certain
papers, saying that he feared Immediate
arrest. After Nayior had testified Far
ley introduced to combat his testimony
a bill of sale fer Sarah Black, showing
that the mare was purchased from Naylor
on June II, 1901. Several witnesses testi-
fed to the taking of the photograph of
the mare Sarah Black at New Iberia,
La, which had been introduced as evil
dence James Rothard, of Chicago, was
the next witness. He testified that he
was the former owner of Ain1less, that
he sold her June 6, 1908, to H. Fl. Kings
bury who was represented in the sale
by Farley. Rethard declared that Far
ley after making the purchase wanted the
mare delivered to him on the commons
Rothard refused to do.
Vernilie Hughes, a horse trainer of Me-
braska testified that he was at the track
June 16 and recognized the mare entered

COLLEGE SPORTS COST
$1,000, 900 LAST YEAR
Excepting Chicago. Minnesota Spent Most
Money in the West.

The University of Pennsylvania spent
more money on its athletics than any
other college or university in the country
last year, according to the reports given
out by the colleges themselves. Columbia
and Princeton have not made public their
reports, but with them included the total
would, it is believed. be over s1,600.000.
The question naturally arises, where
does the money go? Who has charge OF
this vast amount, etc?
The answers given are practically the
same in the case of every institution
named. The balance maintains other cell
lege sports like baseball, and builds per-
nanent improvements for the athletic
department of the institutions.
