The Appointment
of DR.. Louis DEM. Blocker.

Albert Williamson, Of the Jackson.
vile Floridlan, is a good fellow and he
always means well, but he unfortG.
nately seems to be the possessor Of
one of those hair-trigger dispositions
which have been the undcing OF many
another good man and which, unless a
curb of some kind is put upon 1t, we
greatly fear viii cause Albert himself
many a moment of remorse.
The F1oridian's latest outbreak con.
sists Of an attack on Governor Bro
ward for appointing DR.. Louis dem.
Blocker, Of this city. on the committee
to investigate the condition of affairs
a. the state insane asylum. The
Floridian bases its objection on the
ground that DR.. Blocker. as a former
employee of the institution, could not
afford now to permit a report which
would reflect on its past management.
Therein is where the Floridian does
both Governor Broward and DE-.
Blocker a grave injustice.
So far as the governor is concerned
he did right in appointing on the COM
mittee a man whose past experience
as an attachee of the institution will
enable him to get at the bottom of the
case without any needless delay and
without that slow uncertainty which
must obviously characterize the work
Of a man less familiar with the situa-
tion itself.
So far as DR.. Blocker is concerned,
the Floridian simply exhibits its ig-
norance of the man by presuming ~
that he could have been party to
any irregularities which may have ex-
listed at the asylum under past man
agements or CD that he could be in
duced to suppress any part Of the
truth in an investigation of this kind,
no matter whom the truth hight hurt
or help. DR.. Blocker is not the kind of
a man which the Floridian so hastily
assumes him to be.
Rather than having made mist axe
in the appointment of DR.. Blocker,
The Journal does not hesitate to say
that, in its opinion, Governor Broward
has made few appointments as good,
and certainly none better, than the ap-
pointment of the gentleman referred
to on the asylum investigating COM
mittee. In that appointment alone the
public has the best possible assurance
that we shall have the truth about the
past and present conduct OF this most
important state institution.

THE LAWYERS AND
INDUSTRIAL CRIME.
New Orleans States.
R&AxxA RMx = 4 4 ~ q ~ ~ "a

It seems that in an article written
BIZ Mr.. Samuel E. Moffett for Golfers
Weekly several weeks ago he gave
great offense to a number of eminent
members of the legal profession by
charging that lawyers are largely re-
sponsible for the great Industrial
crimes now being committed against
the people of this country. ana class
ing them as public enemies, as many
OF them undoubtedly are. His article
having been ~hotly attacked by the
brethren of the green bag Mr.. Moi
fet, in the current number of Golfers,
takes occasion to throw more light on
legal ethics. Among other things he
saws: Formerly the very liberal code
of legal ethics drew the line at COM
rlicity in the commission Of a crime.
The lawyer might become an accom-.
rlice after the fact but not before It.
He could help a thief to keep out OF
Jail. but he could not directly help MIN
pick a pocket. The modern captain OF
industry robs the public instead OF an
individual, and he takes every step I'M
der the advice of his attorney. Many
learned practitioners at the bar will
grow indignant at this view CT the
matter, but nevertheless the intelligent
public knows it to be plain statement
of fact, albeit disgraceful fact.
In discussing this subject Mr.. Moi
felt directs attention to striking cir
cumstance, namely, at the present time
in the great fight that Mayor Weaver
is making for reform, the bar OF Phil.
adelphia is arrayed almost to a man on
the side of the shameless boodlers and
against the people. He goes on to say:
mo newspaper in Philadelphia except
one despised organ of the gang was an
accomplice in the attempt to betray
the city, and even that tool OF the
criminals gave them only a half-heart-
ed support No minister put his infiu-
ence at their service, or could have
done so without branding himself with
infamy. But when the ablest lawyers
in the city sold themselves not merely
to protect the bandits from punish
ment but to help them to commit
their crimes. nobody VS. surprised, and
nobody expected to see those lawyers
incur any professional penalties"
This is a fearful arraignment of the
legal profession of Philadelphia, but
it is justified and supported by the
facts. The gang of corfuptionists who
have been routed right and left by
Mayor Weaver engaged in a plot to
rob the people of Philadelphia Of prop.
erty worth 100000, 600. and when they
began operations found no difficulty in
securing the services of eminent law
yers who were willing to advise and
aid them in their plans to successfully
accomplish the great steal. 1t is a
terrible story. but it is true and sug-
gests that the code of ethics of the le-
gal profession in this country is in
need of a thorough overhauling if the
profession is to avoid being regarded
merely as an ally of crime.

Prof. Ernst Schwenninger, a noted
physician OF. Berlin, has broken into
the Lawson class with a speech on

EMPIRE OF JAPAN
THE NEW WORLD POWER.
San Diego Sun.

Nation building is supposed to be a
slow process. Yet within the memory
OF men living Japan has developed
from an unknown people into a world
! power
Only few decades ego the Japan.
csc were considered little more than
barbarians, To-day their military
prowess and national spirit are caus-
ing the powers of Europe not only
amazement but anxiety.
1t is never to be forgotten that a
great war is the supreme test of ma.
tional efficiency. Not only does il
bring to the touchstone the courage
discipline and endurance of the army
and navy. the intelligence and skill OF
the officers and the leadership of the
! generals and admirals; it also tries
severely the public spirit, determine.
ton and self-sacrifice of the civil
population and it puts to the proof the
foresight and craftsmanship of the ma.
tion's public men. their power to fore.
see all contingencies and their capac.
ity to make full preparations for them.
It is no longer to be denied that a
great world power has arisen in the
Orient ana that this new condition is
regarded by the European nations as
a very serious matter. Even England,
which is Japan's special ally in the
present war, is far from being at ease
over future possibilities.
The London States, which is said to
be the organ of the great financial in
terests of England, significantly says
at is impossible for the most skep.
tical to refuse to recognize that we
are face to face with a world power
which is destined to exercise great
influences not only in the east, but also
in the west-that, in fact, the ascen-
dency of Europe is at an end now that
there are two non-European great
powers"
The idea which has long been up
permost in the minds of the lingo
statesmen of Europe is the dividing
out of the great Chinese empire. Up
to the present time the chief difficulty
in the way has been the jealousy OF
the various nations, each desiring to
secure the lions share and each fear
ing to be overreached by some of the
others.
Russia haG seized upon the vast
northern province of Manchuria.
france mas appropriated COcnln-
China in the south. England has got
possession of HonglIong at the mouth
CT the Canton river and holds a ninety.
nine year lease on an extensive region
in the interior. Germany has like
lease of the province of Shantung fac
ing on the Yellow sea.
The partition of China was well
begun and the nations concerned were
only waiting for some fitting opportu-
nifty to complete the work without
quarreling among themselves when
they are confronted with the sudden
rise to great power of Japan, which
has driven Russia nearly out Of Man
ehuria and will soon fully accomplish
the work.
Why should not Japan's next step
be the driving Of the Germans out of
Shantung?
If this can be done, it would be in
order to arouse the whole of China
and India and drive all Europeans out
of Asia.
Under such leadership and following
the the Japanese have exhibited in
the war with the Russians 1t could
easily be done.
Is it any wonder that Europe is
worried?

The Deadly Revolver.

The deadly revolver is getting in its
work every day in this state, and the
latest and most daring desperate is
the negro at Chipley who shot the
officer at the Jail and this escaped. He
had been locked up for some time and
ii is quite certain that some one who
had visited the prisoner had given
him a revolver. 1t would seem that it
would be a good plan to cut the little
informal receptions accorded these
criminals while in jail.--Gainesville

HOBBS Cause Trouble.

A man giving his name as Walter
Carr was brought into Albuquerque
Saturday night by Charles Mainz,
Santa Fe officer at Isleta. and lodg-
ed in the county Jail. charged with
breaking into a sealed car. Carr is
one of two hobos who pried open the
door into a sealed car lea Laguna.
They proceeded to investigate the
contents of the car. when a brake
mar happened along. and after a
struggle succeeded In locking both
men in the car. The train kept on its
way to Albuquerque, but the hobos
grew restless and finally smashed out
the real end of the car. making their
escape when the train was nearing
Isleta. One of the men got away.
but Carr was caught bv the officer
at Isleta and landed in Jail.
