Killed BY Live Wire.

Coroner J. c. Henry this afternoon
received word that Leonard Carol
was dead from the effects Of coming
in contact with live wire.
The facts of the, case as near as
can be learned at this time, are that
the Grand Ronde Electric company's
wires are down at a point near the
Hempe brothers farm which is locat-
ed about three miles east of Hot Lake,
and that parties living near there had
placed the wires upon the fence and
that young Carol knew this to be a
fact and was showing some persons
where the wires had been, and placed
his hand upon the fence, but not di-
rectly upon a wire. The fence board
formed a conductor and the entire
current passed through the plank and
into the young mans body, causing
instant death. The wire had been
down since yesterdays storm, but no
one in the neighborhood had taken the
trouble to inform the company of the
fact.-La Grande Observer.

Eccentric Looic.

In his "Reminiscences of Bench and
Bar" Mr.. Sergeant Robinson hts re-
corded some choice specimens of &C.
centric logic in the sentences pro-
nounced by Sergeant Arabin, COM
missioner Of the central court. In
sentencing a prisoner convicted of
stealing property from his master he
thus addressed him:
Prisoner at the bar, If ever there
was a clearer case than this of a man
robbing his master, this case is that
case"
Again, in sentencing a man to a
comparatively light punishment, he
used these words:
Prisoner at the bar, there are miti-
eating circumstances in this case
which cause me to take a lenient
view Of it, and / will therefore give
you a chance of redeeming a character
that you have irretrievably lost"
He once corrected a talkative wit
ness thus:
my good man, don't go babbling
on so. Hold your tongue and answer
the question that is put to YOU

down in the moral scale with the rest
of the community. Others have be-
come subservient to the dollar, and
the lawyer not more so than they. 1t
is only the contrast between the law
yer of Webster's time and De Tocque-
ville's observation which calls atten-
ton to his retrogression..
The lawyer still has a great oppor-
tunity because he has a great forum.
The enforcement of law is rising de-
mand in America. The square deal is
shibboleth. No man in the COM
munity has better chance to lead in
the campaign for justice than the
lawyer. But it will involve, as Mr..
Tucker suggests, the purging of the
profession Of unworthy men, and it is
just as true that it will involve some
sacrifice of fees from clients who
want to deal with marked cards.

While from one standpoint one is
bound to admire his willingness to
take the same risks which ne asks the
men who sail on these boats to take.
and while his conduct in this particu-
lar will doubtless encourage men who
are needed for that Service to devote
themselves to it with greater enthu
siasm, the advantage gained in this
particular is not to be considered in
comparison with the risk undertaken
for the sake Of it.

SOCIETY IN SORE STRAITS.

1t has been a hard season on socie-
ty. That faithful diary of the smart
set, the New York Tribune, reports
that Sir Mortimer Durand, who has
been confined to his house for ten
days by an injury sustained while
playing cricket, is able to be about
again, and that p F. Collier who also
sustained an injury while playing
polo, is recovering with commendable
rapidity.
The Honorable Mrs. Blank, who
sustained" severe backset while
playing bridge, is mending under the
care Of her bankers. A scion of one
of the noble houses, who was almost
fatally hurt while playing roulette at
Saratoga, has been taken in hand by
Jawn w. Gates, VINO has agreed to
show him how to play before he makes
another exhibition of himself. There
is no report on Harry Lehr, from
which we assume that it is safe to
allow him to play the fool at will. It
never seems to affect his health.

KINGS INCOG.

The revival of the rumor that Kaiser
Wilhelm frequently visits Paris dis
guised as the machinist of a motor
car serves to remind the world that
there was once an unpleasantness be-
tween France and Germany which
makes it uncomfortable for the pre-
siding genius of the Hollenzollern
family to take in the sights of Paris
in his own proper person. About thir-
ty-five years ago, as many now living
remember, the grandfather of the
present emperor went to Paris, ac-
companied by large crowd of Ger
mans armed with revolvers, swords
and needle guns. They made 1t so dis
agreeable for the Parisians that they
paid the Germans large sum of money
If 1t were not for offending Mr..
Witte, we might call it an indemnity
to go away. Since then no German
emperor has visited Paris except as
William is alleged to make his calls,
with his whiskers dyed and axle
grease rubbed on his boots

THE LAWYER AND THE SQUARE
DEAL.


Henry st. George Tucker, president
of the American Bar association, made
a very remarkable address in opening
its recent annual session. He took as
his theme plea for professional puri-
ty, and began by quoting from the
presidents Harvard speech:
1--WE all know that as things actu-
ally are many of the most influential
and most highly remunerated men,
bers of the bar make it their especial
task to work out bold and ingenious
schemes by which their wealthy clients
can evade the laws which are made
to regulate, in the interest of the pub
lie, the use Of great wealth."
This Mr.. Tucker said was a grave
charge and it placed upon the asso-
citation the duty of inquiring not
merely whether in isolated instances
it is true, but the broader inquiry
whether the ethics of the legal pro-
fession rise to the standard which it's
position Of influence in the country
demands. The legal profession ne de-
clared to be more influential than any
other except the ministry, and he
doubted whether it's power for good
was not in some respects greater than
that noble profession. Its power for
evil was correspondingly great.
De Tocqueville, an acute French
observer, when he visited this coun-
try sought for the foundation of the
future aristocracy of this republic,
since he believed that the country
must inevitably have an aristocracy.
He found it in the lawyers. He saw
them everywhere leading their COM
munities in politics, in public speech
and even in the attempts at the de-
velopment of the esthetic side of life
The American lawyer as he saw him
was the aristocracy in the bud Has
that bud unfolded according to the
Frencnman's predictions? We see
many evidences that it has suffered
blight. The lawyer has not main
tanned his position at the head of the
community. He has given way in our
time to the man of affairs. AS the adj
wiser and the servant of the business
man, the lawyer has secured a posi-
ton of comfort and security in the
| community, but it is not place of
leadership. He has become a hired
man, working for wages, and as the
president says, too often twisting ex-
| listing laws and inventing new ones to
| enable his patron to get more and be
| more.
The lawyer remains a great mental
force in the country, but as a moral
force he has suffered an almost total
eclipse. In this respect he has gone

NOT JUSTIFIED.

President Roosevelt went aboard
the submarine torpedoboat Plunger a
few days ago and made descent be-
meath the water which lasted fifty
minutes. During that time the boat
went through all the evolutions of
which these remarkable craft are ca
pable, running along close to the bot
tom, rising and diving like a porpoise
and moving just far enough below the
the coming tower which is no bigger
than a bushel basket.
He probably made this trip without
any feeling of apprehension and pos
sibly subjected himself to no very
great danger, and yet the country Is
likely to be nervous over the disap-
pearance Of it's president under the
surface of tine ocean in a submarine
boat. In the popular mind, at least,
sailing on a craft of that kind is at
tended with peculiar danger and the
president certainly is not justified in
taking any risks. His life is not like
that of an ordinary man. 1t is Of
value not alone to himself but to the
public. When he gets through being
president if he wants to risk his neck,
that is his affair, but while he is en-
trusted with the duties of his Office
his life belongs to the public and he
is bound to take extraordinary pre-
cautions to avoid exposure to danger
and is under some obligation to re-
gard popular feeling and avoid Great
ing apprehension with regard to his
safety.
Just now, there are peculiar reasons
why Theodore Roosevelt should take
no risks of this kind. He is today the
most conspicuous figure in the world.
He is mainly responsible for the fact
that a peace conference is being held

right In other times the kings of
France battered about Paris incog,
listening to hear what the people had
to say about the royal family. They
usually got what eavesdroppers de-
serve. The secret memoirs of Count
Richard de Benbon, recently issued
in forty-eight volumes by an Ameri-
can publisher, who got the original
manuscript from a certain lady in the
Latin quarter, relates that the court
always knew when the king had been
out on one of these nocturnal excur-
sions, from the beastly temper he was
in all the next day. He was likely to
kick the prime minister or wa1lop
the heir apparent for not knowing his
arithmetic.
