SHORT STEP FROM LEGAL LAW
LENESS TO OUTRIGHT ANARCHY

The great lawyer who employs his talent to enable
a wealthy client to circumvent the Iaw is encouraging a
spirit Of dumb anger against all the laws. a
In President Roosevelt's great speech at Harvard
there is no greater truth than this. This single paragraph
is a great speech in itself.
The country is cursed with legal lawlessness con-
Quoted on gigantic scale.
Many of the biggest ships of commercial and fnan-
cial enterprise are boldly and safely steered through for
hidden seas by skillful legal pilots who know the statu,
tory rocks and shoals.
Like pirate craft Of old, these big financial and com
mercial ships disguise themselves as honest merchant
men and take their victims unawares.
The pilot of a pirate ship was always an important
figure, commanding a large share Of the loot. The legal
pilots Of the big trusts of today get $4,000, $75,OO0
and sometimes 100000 a year. Piracy stll pays the
pilot we'll
There is a common idea that the lawyer who com.
mands $4,000 or more a year from a single trust client
must be an exceptionally great lawyer. This is a delusion.
The old pirate pilot was no better than any other pilot.
He differed from the others only in being unscrupulous
enough to be a pirate. And the trust lawyer of today
who for a high salary enables his client to circumyent
the laws is selling his honor, not extraordinary abilities.
Measured against the legal incompetents and weak
llngs whom the public commonly selects to enforce the
laws, the trust lawyers seem great. But that is through
fault OF the public.
a $5O,O0O-a-year lawyer of a trust is like setting a row
boat to catch a piratical craft propelled by steam and
sail.
1t need not be a particularly staunch pirate shin nor
have a very high class pilot to escape such feeble pursuit
The vast bulk Of the finances of the country are con
trolled by Institutions that, like the Equitable, sail dan
gerously close to the rocks Of forbidden seas.
A feeling OF distrust is steadily growing throughout
the country. Respect for law thus evaded with impunity
is giving place In the popular mind TO a spirit OF dumb
anger against all the laws.
From open and continuous manipulation and evasion
OF law II is a short step to anarchy.
The real anarchists OF this country are the trust law
yers who are destroying public respect for the law by
destroying the law itself.

PROFIT VS.. LIFE.

The additional precautions inaugurated by the Lake
Shore railroad TO safeguard its New YorkChicago flyer
amount to an admission that ordinary precautions for
safety are not sufficient.
The mile-aminute train is to be made safe, even
though a man must guard every switch and signals must
be installed to indicate danger a mile ahead.
For these extra and costly precautions the Lake
Shore railroad is to be commended. The only pity is that
they we're not adopted sooner. Much useless sacrifice of
life might have been avoided.
But If it is a good thing to safeguard a mllea-minute
train, why is it not a good thing also TO safeguard al
passenger trains?
If it is worth a switch guards pay to have the switch
right when the fast limited whizzes by, why It is not
when the slower trains. with their heavier loads of hu-
man freight, go by?
II the special watchmen can safeguard the passengers
Of the Twentieth Century limited, 1t is obviously the duty
all trains.
The railroads responsibility for those whom Il car.
ries is not greater for those riding in a palatial limited
and paying an extra fare. The man in the smoker of the
ordinary accommodation has the same right to protec-
ton.
A man at every switch, day and night, would cost
the road a lot of money. But, on the other hand, so do
wrecks cost the roads a lot of money.
Maybe the lives of passengers are cheaper to the
railroads than are provisions for their safety. 1t ought
not to be so. Every life sacrificed ought to be made so
costly to the roads that it would be economy not to kill.
We hear ceaseless boasting about the wonderful exc
cutive abilities and phenomenal mental qualities of Am
erican railway managers. But our death lists when
compared with those of European roads tell quite a diff
erent story.
Railroad managers ~prophesy dreadful things that
might happen il the ownership and control of the rail
ways were to be taken out of their hands into those of
the government. But the safety of the governmentcon.
Quoted roads of Europe presents a striking contrast to
the incessant Strengthening on our own roads.
Private profit at the sacrifice of public safety is a
poor system.

Why TOO MUCH VIOLATION
OF LAW In THIS COUNTRY

We make too much of the idea that a man must be
tried by a jury of his peers, was the sentiment of Score
tary Tafts speech before the Yaie Law school. and the
big legal sharps down east are endorsing the sentiment
The trend is toward adjustment of trial by jury, and
there's nothing remarkable about that.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" now as
ever, and, unless the people bestir themselves, all chances
of justice for the masses will soon be in the hands OF the
creatures whom organized corporation interests and reck-
.ess partisan politics put upon the bench.
What regard for the fundamental rights of free
speech and the habeas corpus have the petty federal
judges shown when under the pressure Of corporation in.
fluences? Why, recently, out west, a federal Judge sent
some workmen to jail because they refused to unload a
wagon! White slavery-as bare as any that black man
ever endured-under the cloak of the law! Nothing less
than that.
No free speech.
No right of habeas corpus.
No jury trials.
Enforced labor.
What next?
Just this-A censored, craven press.
There are, to be sure, gross imperfections in the ad
ministration of the criminal Jaw. as Secretary Taft told
the legal sprigs of Yale, hut most of them are due to the
lawyers. The mass OF our legislation is by lawyers. The
mass of our legislation IS designed to make business for
lawyers. Lawyer-made laws have so filled the mouth
OF justice with the hairpins of technicalty that she's not
only s%peechless, but it takes one who has given a life
time to the study to tell whether she's dead or alive. The
innocent man is lucky if, after mortgaging all he has got
he can live long enough to roll the big rock of his proof
up the hill of demurrers, continuances and appeals. The
guilty man, with pelf or pull, tires and wears justice to
skin and bone, until she hasn't strength to raise an arm
for his castigation.
The lawyers have left us few remnants of prompt
perfect Justice. That is might, nearly confined to a few
Instances of mob law-frightful protests against delays

LIeHrNINa CHANGE ARTIST.

The albuquerque Morning Journal is trying to ride
two horses at once; and to make the feat more phenom,
inal, these horses are going In opposite directions.
No wonder the Las Vegas Optic calls the Journal a
lightning change artist"
For many moons the Journal had been on the war
path. Its feathers were fresh, it's paint was red, its
Ratchet had been well shapened. II demanded with many
a hoop and yell the scalps Of Frank A. Hubbell in par.
ticular, OF the Hubbell machine in general, and Of Eslavio
Vigil especially. Nothing could satisfy this stern custo-
dian of justice but that the CORY locks Of these notorious
offenders should be attached to its breech ciout.
After vainly endeavoring to get the matter before
local courts, District Attorney Clancy laid the charges Of
ficially before Governor Otero, who came over to investi.
gate them. But In the meantime, as the Optic puts IT.,
the Journal had seen a great light. Though for months
al had been demanding Of the governor and imprecating
him to do this very thing, no sooner did he enter upon
the course than the Journal turned co~mpletely-charged
the governor with a grand stand play. said the charges

MONTANA
COMES INTO THE LIMELleHT BY
REASON OF A slAvisH Mix.uP
LAST EVENING.

On a complaint sworn out before
Justice Merrill, of Rivesyille, last
evening by Steve and Anna Yellcks,
OF Montana, Constable Parker arrest
ed Mat Felix and brought him before
the justice. Steve and Anna swore
that Mat and fellow Slav named
Belize broke into their house about
1--WE o'clock yesterday afternoon and
ran Anna out. The two had been
boarders at the YeIick's and had been
ordered to leave. They came back
last evening for their possessions, but
Anna saw that they were drunk and
refused to let them in, whereupon
they broke down the door. They
chased her out of the house and down
the street and she didn't stop until
she got to Squire Merrills office.
The constable didn't find Belize. and
at the hearing 1t developed that he
was the principal offender. Feliskl,
as second in command, was fined $40
and costs, but refused either to nay
or give bond. The constable brought
him up to Jail this morning at 1870.
