A SLIGHT ERROR IN THE
PROGRAM.

Evidently now the rate bill is be-
fore the senate there will be a fight
to finish. The dispatches from
Washington all indicate that the rail-
roads are throwing off all disguise
and are coming out in the open, in
opposition to the Hepburn bill.
The railroad people now believe
they made mistake in permitting the
bill to go through the house by a
unanimous vote. That has impressed
the country as significant and the sig
nificance of it is reacting on the sem
ate. 1t tends to make the position of
the railroad senators extremely diff
cult when they must explain why
they cannot vote for a bill which re-
ceived the united support of the rep
resentatives from their states This
is something the naughty railroad
managers did not take into account.
They thought the house was not worth
while bothering with and now see their
mistake. They should have cast from
seventy-flve to 100 votes against the
passage of the Hepburn bill. This
would have given the corporation sem
ators an excuse for postponing the is
sue until the people had made up their
minds.

REBUKED BY COURT,
Chicago Judge Refuses to Grant Wr
Against a Strike Order.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-What is looked
upon as something of a rebuke to the
practice of granting off-hand injunc-
lions against labor unions at the very
inception of strikes, was administered
by Judge Joseph E. Gary, nestor Of the
Cook county bench, today, when he re-
fused to grant an injunction re-
straining the associated building trades
from calling strikes on buildings where
non union men are employed.
The injunction was asked for by the
National Stone Cutters society, which
is declared to be an organization of
nom union men, fostered and supported
and managed by the employers them
selves.
The Judge later threw out an
amended petition asking the court to
restrain members of the Associated
Building Trades from arguing with
members of the National Stone Cut
ters' society to stop work on struck
buildings and to restrain them from
cOngregating and picketing
Grant this injunction? Why, l
would be depriving those men of their
personal liberty and violating the
tombstone of the constitution" said
said Judge Gary. Il will not grant any
Injunction asking me to restrain the
members of the Associated Building
Trades from calling strikes. Neither
will grant any injunction restraining
them from argument with members of
the National Stone Cutters society.
To do so would be to deprive them Of
the right Of free speech"

ground that they, are below, in many
cases, the amounts which the same
men could earn in private employ
ment. He cites the case Of a member
of the federal bench, circuit judge,
who resigned $4,000 salary and made
as much in the following year as the
government paid him during his term
of office
This was. no doubt, an exceptional
case. The leaders Of the bar are sell
dom picked for judgeships because it
Is known in advance that their SER
vices cannot be had. But competent
men are obtained to whom the salary
with the assurance of an old-age
pension is alluring. An income of
$4,000 or $500 year net is better than
the average earnings of the class of
lawyers from which United States
judges are picked. The retiring pen
sion makes the position doubly at
tractive, since it removes all thought
of anxiety for that period when the
realize that his powers are waning
and his clients disappearing
But what may be true of judgeships
and other offices with retirement and
old age pension attachments is not
necessarily true of positions that
make no provisions for the rainy
day" The government is handicapped
all the time in trying to get compe-
tent men to do things that require ex-
pert knowledge because private en-
ployers outbid it.
The present congress has also taken
up the question of providing embas-
sizes for the United States abroad This
appears to be justifiable and neces-
serves to advance the United States
to the rank it claims to hold in the
commercial world and it relieves the
ambassadors from the obligations of
paying office rent for the government
There is no justification for COMPEL
ing a man who accepts an ambassa-
dorship to pay the expense Of the OF.
flee, no more that there would be for
asking the secretary of state to fit up

ington in which to transact the bust

THREE CLASSES OF LAWYERS.

When a person of good judgment
employs a lawyer he is careful to see
that his attorney is we'll versed in his
profession, that he has had practical
experience in the preparation OF
cases and that he knows all the pit
falls into which shrewd lawyers on the
opposing side might entrap novice.
The lawyers profession is a most i'm
portaut one. He is called upon for ad-
vice in nearly every business transac-
ton Of any Importance and the bust
ness he does in his office, unObserved
by the public and unknown to all
except those concerned, is many times
greater than the business in which
he is called upon to make pleas before
judge or a jury The conscientious
and capable lawyer is occaoinOinoin
more in guarding against litigation or
in compromising threatened suits than
in contending in the open court. He
believes than an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure and he does
his best to save his client from I'M
necessary litigation and excessive
fees.
In contradistinction to the lawyer
of this high class is the charlatan
who is always looking out for fees
for himself and who cares nothing for
the interests of his client so long as
they do not comport with his own sell
fish ends. He is the "snide' or the
"snitch," who stirs up strife among
townsmen, resorting to champerty or
barretry so long as he thinks he can
do so with impunity. Such lawyers
are not fit to be intrusted with the
sacred rights of clients, with the ad-
ministration of estates or the super
vision of the interests of widows and
orphans.
Another class of lawyers ;>.at is
almost as pernicious, although not so
malicious, is the kindergarten class
just out of knickerbockers, whose pre-
sumption and egotism are only
of real knowledge of the law. Such
lawyers are often ready to undertake
the most important cases without
any knowledge of their merits, to
bring suits for trivial causes, and to
cucumber the courts with expensive
suits that might better have been set
tied in the privacy of some capable
lawyers office, Or in a heart-tO-heart
talk between neighbors. The bungling
efforts of these green saplings of the
law to bring cases to trial often re-
suit in ten times the expense to
their clients that the employment Of
a practiced lawyer would have re-
quired. In some cases these callow
youths posing as lawyers have been
told by the court to go home and
study law or to learn something about
answers or other papers, before pre-
Stunning to appear before the court.
But a setback like that does not en-
barrass them. They are ready next
day to rush in again in fields where
old, experienced lawyers would fear to
tread. What they lack in wisdom and
experience they make up by affecta-
ton of solemn, sage-like visage and
ponderous thought.
Walla Walla has its share of each
of these classes of lawyers. Forum
ately the first class is in the majority
and the other classes are becoming
less pestiferous as the people find
them out

offend the senate, but they are appar-
emily unaware of the prominent part
taken by Mr.. Roosevelt last summer in

to imagine that he would be deferred
by the attitude of the senate from act

THE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF
TRUSTS.

Judge Grosscup's plan of a cure for
the evils of the trusts in the distribu-
ton of their stocks among the people
is not new, nor is it's desirability les
sened by the difficulties of it's realiza-
ton. AS matter of fact the people
are supposed to own these great indus
tries now through the insurance COM
panies and the banks. The money
in the banks is largely the money of
the depositors and if the banks own
the trusts and the people own the
banks, then the people own the trusts.
The same is true of insurance funds
There is nothing to an insurance com,
pany but trusteeship. The COM
pany and all that is in it is owned by
the policyholders. Insurance COM
panies own bonds and stocks of in
dustrial and railroad corporations and
thus the indirect ownership Of the
people in these great organizations is
again asserted
The thing that is not asserted is the
public management of the trusts and
Industrial giants. They are managed
strictly as though they belonged to a
small coterie of men in Wall street
The railroads have been managed
the same way and if We understand
the railroad debate at all if comes to
this that the railroad managers bit
terly resent any effort on the part of
the owners Ghe public to have any
thing to say about how they shall be
conducted
There is today then considerable
indirect ownership Of industrial and
transportation companies by the pub
lie. There would be more of it if there
was more recognition of the public
interest by the men who have sue
ceeded in ENGRAVING themselves upon
these organizations and are using
them for their own purposes. the
managers to enrich themselves with
salaries, the speculative directors to
enrich themselves by raising and de-
pressing the stocks, always at the ex-
pense of the public. It is useless to
talk of encouraging the people to in
vest their earnings in stocks when
stocks are the plaything of Wall
street. The public was induced to
buy into the United States Steel COM
pany' and 1t did so. Those who
bought common stock got one or two
dividends and then were let in for
great loss on their investment, and a
shocking disappointment in their div
ldends AS soon as the stock had been
depressed far enough to make it
good purchase the promoters bought
IN at 30 cents what they had sold at
80 cents, and began to declare divi-
dends again. This kind of treatment
makes people feel more like burning
down industrial concerns than buying
them up. As a condition precedent to
a very general firsthand investment
by the public in stocks they must be
made safe and stable. In order that
this may be done, the government
should exercise some proper control
over capitalization. Publicity of all
corporate dealings should be con-
ceded and the men who manage them
should recognize their trusteeship.
There Is an irreconcilable conflict be-

REPUBLICAN PAPER BOLTS.

News has been conveyed to the pub
lie through the Sioux City Journal that
J. G. McCabe has bolted the republican
ticket and with his paper, the Logan
Observer has left the republican party
1t is reported from Harrison county
that anti-Cummins republicans rhereare
planning bolt throughout the county
by organizing the precincts and town
ships as if they were fighting the demo-
Gratis. They are careless of the fact that
they thus quit the ranks of the repub-
lican party.
Inquiry is on foot to determine the
extent to which Council Bluffs influ-
ences are responsible for this treatened
organization of bolt against the
republican party and it's ticket. Ma
tional Republican Committeeman Err
nest E. Hart resides at Council Bluffs.
He was at the head of the steering
committee organized against Cummins
at the republican state convention. He
owns the Council Bluffs Ncnpareil,
which has not yet indicated it's inten-
tion to support the republican ticket
and republican party in the campaign
about to be undertaken. Early in the
winter he came to Des Moines and
stated that the ninth district would
vote against Governor Cummins at the
convention. He made his word good
and the district, for the most part, was
against the governor. His influence
is of such a character that he is able
to control many votes in the district,
but whether it is strong enough to de-
feat a congressional candidate or can
didate for governor or other candidate
of the republican party is not now
under consideration among politicians.
The speculation now is as to whether
the influence of the national republi-
can committeeman from Iowa is equal
to the suppression of an organized bolt
against the republican party in his
home district.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1906-08-23
was largely the cause of the

convention was largely the cause of the
anti-Paul victory. Denison is also a
member Of the Cedar Rapids consistory
of Scottish Rite Masons.
In his lodge and political activity
Denison has made hundreds of speeches
throughout the state, having record of
addressing audiences in 95 of the 80
counties of the state during the last
few years, thus giving him remarka-
oily large acquaintance. In 1905 he NOV
ed from Clarion to Dubuque, where he
is now engaged in the practice of law
as a member of the firm of Duffy & Den
ison.
The Iowa Capital Republican, says:
"Hon. Claude r. Porter, the party
standard bearer, is a young man of
brains and character. His popularity
won for him two terms in the Iowa state
senate from a strong republican district.
In the general assembly he made good.
His recognized abilities gave him a
place on important committees, and
while faithful to his party he never
permitted partizanship to Interfere
with his duty to his district and state.
Mr. Porter is strong campaigner and
the voters will doubtless have a
chance to see and hear him before the
November election.
