Holds Lawyers Work Sacred.

COLUMBUS, o., April o-Rev. Dr. Washing
ton GLADDEN., preaching at the First Congrega-
tional church upon "The Religion of the
Lawyer" said
"The function of the lawyer is the right ad-
mnistration OF the law. If this is the work OF
the lawyer, then his business is essentially re-
lgious his function is sacred: as truly So as
that of the teacher or the clergyman. There
are a great many lawyers whose revenues are
large simply because they have earned the rep
utation of being able to obstruct and paralyze
and defeat the law of the land-who are recog-
nized by the criminal and predatory classes,
rich and poor, as their allies.
"Do not understand me to raise the common
question whether criminal may be defended
by awyear. Certainly, he may and must be
defended, 1t is no discredit to the best lawyer
that he defends the worst criminal. The law
is good, even in the case of great criminals, if
a man use it lawfully.
cit is the perversion of the law--the abuse
of lawn the shelterlug of malefactors from
its penalties, by which many lawyers enrich
themselves.
GAS there is no service more sacred than
that to which the administration of law invites
all good men, so there is no mischief more dia.
boical than that for which the bad man finds,
in the same calling, his opportunity.
"There is no class of men in our society
more hateful or more dangerous than unprinci'
pied lawyers. When we think of the manner
in which some of them have sold their legal
talent to gigantic plunderers, how they have
put thei- vast learning at the service of men
whom ;hey knew to be bent on the preparation
of colossal wrongs, it is hard for any honest
man to stand in their presence and hold back
the flaming word of indignation"

GARFIELD AFTER THE STANDARD.

Commissioner Garfield has visited the Kansas
oil field for the purpose of getting material for
an investigation of the Standard Oil Company.
He has "started the ball rolling" and has gone
to California.
Mr. Garfield met up with two surprises while
at Chanute. One was another reduction in the
price of oil, for which ne could see no reason.
Asked the cause of the reduction, the Standard
officials said, Cover production" The other
surprise was the sight of 2I9 tank cars stand
ing on the side tracks, while, at the same time,
the independent oil producers all over the field
were trying to get cars, but were informed by
the railroad companies that there were no cars.
Mr.. Garfield coudnt understand why the Stand
ard could get more than it needs, while the
independent producers could get none.
A lot of the Standard officials were present,
and they made no objection to showing Mr..
Garfield their books; indeed, they seemed anX-
ious to have him look over them. But the
books showed nothing, and, in answer to his
questions, they gave him no satisfactory in
formation.
The Stondard admits that it encouraged the
development of oil territory III Kansas, and ad-
mits, too that it has not kept its promises to
those VINO developed the field its excuse for
lying is that the supply of oil is greater than
it had expected. 1t is admitted that all Kan
sas oil possesses value, but, in CIDER to get the
best, it was necessary for the Standard to re-
strict its purchases to oil above the gravity OF
30 degrees. Asked about the purchase of over
seven million barrels of cheap Texas oil, and
lis shipment to Bayonne for refining last year,
The Standard officials plead ignorance.
Mr. Garfield is up against hard proposition,
and it remains to be seen if the Standard Oil
Company will handle him as easily as the beef
trust appears to hav~ done.

bunch. Senator Long and the machine crowd
have promised to make Hoch the next senator.
That's what Hoch is figuring on right now.
He fully expects to be senator to succeed Bur
ton. The gang has promised to make him
senator, just as they promised to make Stanley
senator. Long wants to name the senator be-
cause it will help his chances of re-ele ction.
'Now, the result of all this will be that Hoch
will be one-term governor. No governor has
ever been reelected who has been candidate

THE New York World, Democratic paper,
says the Democratic party is hopelessly divided,
and cannot win in 1905. The World also says
that Roosevelt will be re-nominated and re-
elected. The World is pretty good guesser,
but we are of the opinion that if Teddy does
not make good some OF the talk he has been
induging in, public sentiment will compel the
Republicans to look little further for presi
dental candidate in 1905. The people are do.
ing good deal of independent thinking, and
they are going to find out that talk is mighty
cheap, and counts for nothing unless accompa-
MED by action.

JOSEPH FOLK.

A couple OF years ago, Joseph Folk was
almost unknown outside of the city OF St.
Louis. Now, he is governor of the great state
OF Missouri, and he's talked of as the Democratic
s. audard-bearer in the next presidential cam
paigu. The reason for this is that he is man
who does things. He got after the boodlers OF
the city OF St. Louis, and sent ut of boodling
officials to the penltentiary. This gave him
boom for governor, and he received the support
of the best people of the state, who, regardless
OF party, admire man OF nerve and backbone.
lust now, he has all of the brewers, saloonlsts,
race.track men and others of their kind on his
back because he insists enforcing certain laws Oh
the statute books. One of these laws provides
for Sunday closing of the saloons. Another pro.
hibits horse racing on Sunday. The Sunday
closing law is being enforced in Kansas City,
St. Louis and other cities of the state. This
las caused the brewers to get upon their hind
legs aud howl. They declare they will stop
the running OF street-cars on Sunday and COM
pei the people to walk to church They think
that by so doing, they will array the churches
against the Governor. They also declare that
they will stop the publication OF Sunday nsws-
papers, and that they will also close the res
taurauts. But this doesn't worry Governor
Folk Bit. He just smiles and coolly says:
"There are the laws. They must be observed"
He has the decent, law-abidng people of the
state behind him, and his 6rmness aud fearless
ness command the respect of the people of the
nation If Joe Folk were president we would
be willing to bet cur bottom dollar that the
beef trust, the Standard Oil Company and all
the rest of the gang that are fatteniug off tho
necessities of the people would be brought up
standing and there would be no such farcical
investigations as Gar6elds so-caed investiga-
t;on of the beef trust. The world admires a
man who does things much more than it adj
nires mau who makes grand-stand plays
