Legal ethics" are. certain to come into
more or less prominence in connection
with the Thaw murder case. A significant
statement in this regard comes from New
York. It Is represented that since the
real character of Stanford White has been
more clearly known, the plea Of the de-
Tense will not be insanity, but that Of
justifable homicide. The inference is
that If Whites character had not been
what it is alleged to- have been the as
sertion Of Thaw's. insanity would; have
been made. Doubtless the statement and
its Inference were not authorized by
ThaW's counsel. Perhaps they We're un-
warranted But 1t has come to be taken
for. granted that shrewd counsel, "the
best lawyers, will adopt any tactics for
their client which appear to. be in his in
terest, having. no regard for the social
interest, Or: the question of the client IS
guilt or. innocence. This assumption has
not been arbitrary on the part Of the
public. The practices of lawyers have
given rise to 1t. And If bar associations
resent 1t and regard it as unjust to their
profession they should turn their atten-
tion to revising the code aof legal ethics
and enforcing the revised code.

La Toilette s Curious Campaign

AAAeS = SAASooS - S~AAS ASSaS SSsAAFs-SAA'
J Senator La Toilette is to spend the
summer going about telling how his
colleagues did him up, and exposing
their lack Of interest In reform. He is
booked to speak. in New Jersey, where
Dryden Of the insurance trust is a can
didate for the senate again. Thence
he will slip over into Pennsylvania,
where there is not a sensational cleo
tion, but where the Lincoln republicans
have combined with the democrats to
put quietus upon Penrose as, state
boss. The Wisconsin senator will de-
liver one of his lectures for the benefit
Of the 'Linco1nites, for he considers Lin
coin republicans almost as good as the
La Toilette kind. Then he will return
to the west, and it is alleged he will
make few remarks about, Knute Mel

ground for complaint against Senator
Nelson is we haye no idea. But the

is the bailiwick of Tom Carter, who was
put up in the dying hours Of the senate
to talk La Toilette s railway employees

on Carter that he would be in Montana
during the summer, and Garter has
promised him a warm reception.
The public may not understand ex

An international Lesson.

In the examination of several Ameri-
can insurance witnesses before the Com,
mittee of the house &of lords, Lord
Beauchamp asked the pertinent ques-
tion why the abuses in the business
were not discovered and corrected by
state officials charged with the duty
of investigation. :','s-'r'', r --'''
Apparently the lords are not ac-
quainted with the gay and lively man
ner in which some Of our state insur-
ance commissioners eonstrue their .du-
ties. Nor do they appear. to be- ac-
quainted with the many plausible ways
the big insurance companies, have Of
influencing the course of legislation.
Neither they nor ourselves, for that
matter, are aware Of the depths and
cunning of the system Of bookkeeping
whereby life insurance officials were
enabled to withdraw immense sums
from the regular channels of business
into private and base uses.
The facts have been that honest state
insurance departments were the most
easily deceived by the elaborate system
OF fraud entered upon blythe auditors
of the companies with the connivance
of the executive officers. 1t was only
the smartest of the state officials who
were able to penetrate the disg1lises Of
fraud and they were unfortunately the
kind who yielded to corrupt bargains
whereby their discoveries. were kept
concealed. ... -:.
The New York grand jury, which
recently brought indictments against
high officials Of two large companies,
confesses that the system employed was
meant to deceive "and has rendered it
difficult to fix responsibility.
This is so nearly true that convic-
t1on In these cases is subsidiary in
the public mind to the exposure of the
system 50 that it cannot be used again,
This was the gain in the legal proceed.
ings against Perkins. This will be the
only large result Of the indictments
against Granniss and Gillette. $k
The ground to be reached is the ab.
solute and frank publicity Of the work
1ngs OF insurance companies. The New
York legislature has undertaken ftc
regulate their investments, to determine
and fix their mode of accounting
Everything that recent experience eoulc
suggest has been added to the laws il
the way of limiting the power Of the
trustees over the funds in their charpt
to proper uses.

San Francisco Relief. =,

The Duluth school board has under
consideration request from the super
intendent Of public schools in San
Francisco that the school children Of
Duluth be permitted to make contribu-
tions to a fund for rebuilding schools
destroyed by earthquake and fire. The
same request is understood to have
been made in other cities and some
Of them have responded. -
The idea is commendable. The les
son Of charity which the children would
learn would, no doubt, be valuable to
them, but in view of the record of the
administration, Of relief in San Francis
co, it might be well TO know frst5iw is
to handle the money collected for this
school-building purpose. E*t 7...s
It is exceedingly unfortunate that the
country has been given occasion to
doubt not only the ability but the
integrity Of those charged with admin
istering relief funds in San Francisco
It was not unreasonable to hope that
that great work might be carried or
without occasion for suspicion and with
out charges Of graft. Unfortunately
both have developed. The. San Fran
cisco papers themselves have been very
free in their criticism, and correspond
ents writing from San Francisco hav,
