The "UnsaIarIed Lawyer,


The president of the American bar asso-
citation, like any lawyer takes pride in his
honored profession. No one will quarrel
perhaps, with his description of the lawyer
as "the minister of a weekday ethics" ="
since the mere phrase implies that week.
day ethics are strikingly different from
Sunday ethics. But the people will rise as
one man in protest against his tribute TO
the lawyer as "the unsalaried educator Of
the public" A moral educator the lawyer
may be, but "unsalaried" can only be con-
strued in the sense that the lawyer socks

FEDERAL INSURANCE CONTROL.
American bar Association Refuses ts
Indorse the Movement

A"N"NHN Aht movement
Springfield tMassD Republican
The American Bar association refuses TO
indorse the federal Insurance supervision
movement, and thereby gives to It a weak
ening blow. Nor, under the circumstances
could the bar association well do otherwise
The United States supreme court has
clearly and repeatedly ruled that insurance
contracts do not constitute Interstate com.
merce and therefore do not come under
the regulatlve power Of congress; and an
association OF lawyers above any other
body OF men, must hesitate to appear in
the light OF advising congress to do whtt
the supreme court has said It cannot con.
stitutionally do. And this seems to be the
exact reason why the association declined
TO accept committee report favoring such
a course.
Meantime the report stands uncortra.
dictcd that President Roosevelt has com.
mitted himself TO recommend to congress
what the bar association Of the country
cannot find warrant for recommending In
any due regard for the constitution OF the
United States or respect for It's expoundcrs
on the supreme bench. This might seen,
to place the administration in a somewhat
awkward position. IL held In the case of
an income tax law, It would be charged
with attacking the supreme court" Eeld
In the case of federal supervision OF in
surance, It is stlll moro obviously and
fiagrantly attacking the court, for the Sill
preme court was closely divided and had
reversed itself on the income tax, while
1t has consistently ruled against national
insurance supervision.
If the movement headed by Senator Dry
den of one insurance company, and James
M. Beck Of another, has been scotched,
policyholders will have no great cause for
regret II had been taken up on behalf
of an autocratc control of the companies
rather than for the policyholders. It aims
to rid the managements of the prying ac-
tivities OF many state inquistors, but not
at all TO bring about such a genuine reform
in life insurance as a reduction Of extrava-
CANT and burdensome office and agency ex-
penses.
When It presents itself as movement
on behalf Of such reform, 1t can interest
edly be taken up by policyholders and car
ried forward through a constitutional
amendment, but not until then; and not
until It is made to appeal strongly TO pol
icyholders is It likely TO succeed.

By DISTRICTS OR ATLARGEi

The decision of Judge Redlck granting
the mandamus applied for to compel the
county clerk to put the names of candi-
dates for county commissioner on the
official ballot at the coming primary
holds that county commissioners are to
be elected in Douglas county this year
as usual. 1t holds more than this, how
ever, in that it proceeds on the theory
that the law which the last legislature
undertook to incorporate into the stat
utes is part and parcel of the biennial
election law declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court, and therefore falls
with it in its entirety.
This raises the question now how
these commissioners are to be nOmt-
nated-whether the county clerk is TO
put the candidates names on the official
ballots for all voting districts through
out the county or on those only com
prised within the commissioner district.
If the new law had been in any part
sustained and held defective only inso-
far as 1t attempted to do away with the
election of commissioners this year,
there would have been no misunder-
standing, because 1t provides expressly
that the commissioners shall be nomi-
mated "by each of said districts, but
shall be elected by the qualified electors
Of the entire county" The difficulty
here would be that encountered in the
change Of ward and precinct boundaries
by the city council and the failure Of
the county board up to this time to re-
construct the commissioner districts to
conform to the new ward lines.
But the old law, to which the election
now reverts, does not say that commits
sioners shall be nominated "by the dis
trict," but merely from the district"
although it specifically provides that
they are to be elected by the county at
large. The intention of the legislature
Of 1908, which engrafted this change on
the law, was to make the election Of
county commissioners in Douglas
county correspond to the election of men,
bers of the city council in Omaha, in
which case the councilman is required to
reside in a particular district, but is
still not ward councilman, but a coun-
cilman-at-large. The Dodge primary law
is plainly drawn with the idea that the
same constituency that is to elect shall
also nominate and so far as it applies
to county commissioners, it will have to
be applied later to members of the city
council. If the commissioners are to
be nominated this fall by the district
only and then elected by the entire
county, candidates for the council next
spring will expect to be nominated by
the wards only, although required to run
the gauntlet of the whole city for cleo
ton.
Such construction of the law would
put us back precisely where we were
before the present makeup of the coun-
Gil and relegate us again, to all intents
and purposes, to a system Of ward coun-
cilmen. The decision of this question,
therefore, as regards the nomination Of
county commissioners involves points of
more than ordinary Importance, and
those who have to decide it should real
lie fully the consequences of deciding it
one way or the other.

of the Sea of Japan that it was found nee
essary to run the vessel ashore to save IL
from being a total loss. knowledge OF
such disasters as this coming after the
official reports given out by the Japanese
government, in which it is made to appear
that they have come out of the con-
hict with practically no loss or damage
at all, does not tend to enhance the re-
spect or confidence in the future dealings

give rise to t. entirely just and rational
suspicion that nation which INDUCES in

SECOND CITY IN The WORLD.

The incomplete census figures indi-
cate that the population of New York
is now just under 100000, or, to be
exact, 3,937,154 The probabilities are
that Manhattan and the Bronx alone
will be found to have a population of
,, 37S, 6g6. The standing of New York
among the big cities of the world is
shown by the following figures: Lon
don comes first with 4,536,641 people.
and next to New York are Paris. with
2.714,OOS; Berlin. with 1.SSS,S4S, and
Chicago with 169S.575 Then follow
Vienna Canton, Toxic and Philadel-
phia. all of which have over 100000
inhabitants, the last named having l.
293,697 in the census of 1900.
AS to the possibility of New York
City becoming the largest city in the
world, there is no indication that Lon
don will lose the first place for many
decades to come, for within the metro
politaH and city police limits that city
contains $751; 1872 souls, this being the
population of what might be called
Greater London. To put 1t another

Manhattan population of 2.127.6O2;
while her Greater London has 6,5S1.ST2
