thought of that before he went astray.
The really useful thought is that
which regards the interests Of the
public. Think of the misery they
have brought upon their clients; think
of the dishonor they have heaped up
on a noble profession; think of the

The District Bar.

The Bar Association OF the District
sedate and slow to move. It counts
among its members men who, by
their personal honor, social standing,
and learning, would be ornaments to
the highest court of the land, yet these
same men are afflicted with the vice
Of inactivity when public duty calls
on one hand and private compassion
whispers on the other.
Groups of lawyers gather in the Of
fees. collect in the clubs, or assemble
in the rooms Of the association and
discuss the known crimes and mall
feasances of certain members of the
bar. But nothing is done. That
something ought to be done, that
the public is entitled TO protection
from the sneak-thieYes and stealthy
assassins who now parade as officers
Of our courts of justice, all admit:
but. when the question arises, Who
will bell the cat? they all. with cue
accord, begin TO make excuse.
This reluctance to assume the role
OF public accuser Is not to be Won
dered at where the sources of infor-
nation are as open TO one man as
TO another, and there is no special
reason TO prompt any individual to
take the initiative Nor should it
be forgotten that any individual. not
excepting the association, falling in
a public attempt to have lawyer
disbarred, would be subject to a suit
for malicious prosecution. But this
is not all. a lawyers position as an
officer Of the court is thing OF value,
and the bench OF the Supreme Court
OF the District Of Columbia has, here
tofore, been woefully tender to its
erring officers and notoriously averse

represented by men who have been
guilty Of the following acts:
l. Embezzlement of trust funds.
2. Actual theft.
8. Forgery Of title papers.
4. abstraction and Justification Of
public records.
5. Issuance of false certificates know
ingly.
6. Imposing upon the ignorant deeds
In fee, in place of deeds of trust.
z. Betrayal of clients.
Some OF these cases have reached
the courts-one OF the criminals has
actually served a term in the penf-
tentiary for his misdeeds-most of
them are generally known among the
older members Of the bar, and yet
the perpetrators still appear in the
courts and are licensed to prey upon
the public.
The worst Of the matter is that
with regard to at least two Of the
known criminals-at-law the respect
atle lawyers are actually coWardIy.
They fear the known ability, the per-
tinacity, and the long and active
memory of one Of them. and they
dread the obscure and stealthy cum

DON'T SCOLD THE COOK.


important admonition:
DON'T SCOLD THE COOK
The editorial eye wandered no far
ther. The long vista Of halcyon days
by the domestic hearth, the similarly
long retrospect of days that might
have been happy, but were not, the
gulf-like contrast between a family in
tears and the same family wreathed
in grins like Cheshire cats-these
things suffused the self-same editor
ial eye with bulrring tears and the
type swan like chips in a gutter.
But the staff Of the Philippine
Monthly is made of ruder stuff It's
editors were not only able to go on
but its compositors were able 10 set
this poem in type. Read this, ye
mortals whom custom has degenerat-
ed into common seolds:
If the steak is old and raw and tough,
Don't scold- the cook;
Of hunger, perhaps you have not had
enough.
Don scOid the cook
Inc Qellcate suggestion employed ID
that third line! When did the in
genfous DR.. Sterne or the brilliant
Balzac do anything finer? But the
last stanza is the best Of all:
The SOLDIERS remorse cup is filed 20

Don't scold the cook;
With instruction forbearing sustain
and uphold him.
Don't scold the cook
Experience, one would say, inspired
the first line, and the calm Of genuine
philosophy guided the second. The
gentle reader would note those two
revelations and be glad that one man
had at last wakened TO reason But
the signature blasts the hope-the
poem was writ by a woman.
