RURHING IT IN.

The Washington Star is not at all pleased over the appointment by the President of MT. Barnes as postmaster of the Capitol City. Barnes is a sort of understudy for Secretary Loeb, and will be best remembered for his con- nection with the Mrs. Morris incident. the objection to Barnes is not put on that ground by The Star. but as The Hartford Courant puts it. in speaking of The Stars position:
 Why should the people of the city be treated as if they had no rights which any administration is bound to respect? For many Years their re- corders of deeds have been negro poll iticians from other towns. Tn Presi- from Albany. The Department of Jus tice picks out judges and distract at torneys for them without the slightest regard to their wishes. Now a stranger practice is all wrong" says this eIn- Differed contemporary, "of treating the local offices as the personal perquis- tiles of the President to be disposed of at his pleasure to political or per- Sonai favorites. without consultation with or consideration of the people of Washington. This community has in the eternal fitness of things as much right to be consulted about It's local postmastershipsAs Baltimore. or Phiia- delphia or New York, or Chicago about their postmasters."
 The Star is usually a defender and upholder of the President. but it kicks vigorously in this instance. and who can blame It? It seems to be as much disgusted with what we may call car petbaggery as we of the South ever were. It thinks the people of the city should have some of the good places and we agree with 1t. Barnes is not in any fair sense citizen of Wash ington. has no interests there. and does not represent them. Bringing in out siders to fill so many of the good places is naturally displeaslng to the Wash ington people. as it would be to those of any other large city. It looks ex- actly as if Roosevelt wants to empha- size the Morris incident. and rub it in on Washington.

That young crank, Joseph Medill Pat terson, who recently turned his back on the teachings of his two honored grandfathers. Joseph Mediil and Rev. Robert Patterson. like all new converts Is trying to out-do his teachers in an- archy, expecting thus to establish the geauineness of his conversion. we SUD- pose. He wants the government, na- tional, State or municipal te>sown ev- erything. and tells us that there is on- ly one way to take over the railroads confiscate them"
 This shows that young Joseph has been an apt scholar of Most and his sort. ''Confiscate them" sounds catchy and no doubt captures some of the weddings in political science. Won der how he would go about it? The railroads are the property of individ- uais, just as any other property is. They were built with the money of the citi- zcns who own and control them. We have the laws and courts to protect private property; and it could hardly be expected that the owners of the great railway lines of the country would stand by and allow themselves u be robbed without fight. The con- fiscation of property is not a matter to be accomplished by the words and advice of a ranting anarchist.
 But when the business of connsca- tion of property begins where will it stop? Some one might wish to confi- scate The Chicago Tribune, from which young Patterson draws his stipend, as we are informed. If a railroad can be confiscated, why not a newspaper? Perhaps it would please him, however if he could confiscate his grandfather newspaper into his own hands. Fossil bly that Is what he wants. The Trib. une is great newspaper, which pays handsomely, and 1t may be that ths young degenerate has cast covetous eyes on its bank account. "Confiscate the railroads" quoth Joseph. If some reformatory would confiscate him it would be good job.

 The disbarment of a lawyer is an i'm cident of such rarity as to be almost a phenomenon. This is true of all iu risdicticns. even of the District of Co., lumbia, whose courts have an excep- 8 State in W hich perjury in majority of trials is notoriously committed. ac- cording to statement made some years ago by the President of the State Bar Association, there recently has been a disbarment. It Is announced that "by unanimous decision .of the New York Court of Appeals Arthur E. Clark is removed from office as an attorney were brought against Clark, the most important being one of champerty. which means fomenting litigation, and Of ssns Se pss hs pToof cens was to whelming. Judge Bartlett. who wrote the decision. traced the doctrine of champerty from the time of Black contention that the code seeks only to prohibit the offer or gift from an at torney. to the person having the claim that is to say, to the desired client --as an inducement to the retainer" :" In behalf of Clark, it was urged that soliciting business in order to preserve another's rights was a real service. Judge Bartlett said of this plea:
 Nor is there anything in the sug- gestion that the employment of such paid emissaries is essential to the pros lection of the poor. who else might not become aware Of their rlgnt to prosecute remedies in the courts for wrongs which they have suffered. The permission which the law now gives to attorneys to serve clients for a con tingent fee is sufficiently well known throughout the community to enable any one, however limited his means, to secure adequate professional service in the enforcement of any meritorious claim in the courts. It is not necessary for the protection of the poor to sanc- tion the practice, which as applied to negligence cases under the name of served discredit upon those engaged In it; and in any event, if the views which have been expressed are correct, the law denounces the practice as crim- inaI."
 Clark had a neat and handy scheme for defrauding his clients by selling them out to the corporations which he, in the name of his clients, was prose cutting. Concerning this phase of the case, Judge Bartlett said that he could not conceive of "a more complete aban- donment and. overthrow of his clients by a lawyer" and that the transaction as to each of the clients was "a fraud of the most reprehensible character Judge Bartlett said in conciusion: Tt may be observed that an assignment by an attorney of his contrpct of re- tainer to the very party wh6S ne had been retained to sue Is new and re- markable curiosity in the law, ire spective of the moral aspects of the transaction

 There is another feature that does an Hepburn biil, with the Presidentiaiiy sanctioned amendment. the courts have the right to en5oin q rate fixed by the commlssion.

 The Senate is defending itself against the popular clamor for the election of senators by popular vote. It has talk en cognizance of the sensational frotn- ings of the cheap magazine writers by In the Senate of the United States in 1903 on the question of ,electing un1- ted States Senators by the people.

 For the simple but sufficient reason that the ruling power in this country Is the legal profession-the bar and the bench; the bar whose members frame legislation and are chiefly instrumental in the execution of the laws; the bench, that interprets and applies the work of the bar-the people generally feel, or ought to feel, deep and continuing interest in all proc eedings calculated to inspire confidence in the integrity of the bar Members of the bar are of ficers of the court or courts in whose work they are entitled to participate. The presumption is-however strained 1t may seem in view of the actual sit uation-that they will faithfully CO., operate with the presiding judge in giv- ing a fair trial to every defendant, put ting all the pertinent evidence avail able fairly before the jury. remember ing their obligations to society and not striving to shield any accused person whom they know to be guilty as charged in the indictment.

A Knock Out Blow.

Editor Advertiser:
 In The Advertiser Wednesday, it is reported that MT. Conner, in his speech at Enterprise said: Why not jump on MT. Tunstal and Mir Sanders right now and demand of them that they get to- gether with me-"
 Now is that not an admission that it Sanders and Tunstal would agree with him, that he could carry out his promises, made two years ago in part at least. an admission that he has all the law that he needs and direct con tradiction of his former utterances, de- claring that the commission was pow erless.
