GRATEFUL AsNoWL.
~EpeEMENT TO AN HON
oRABLE PROFESSION.

II the mistaken idea that has long
existed, that lawyers are dishonest
set still prevails the statement made
by the Bancroftwhitney Company. O.
San Francisco, should do much to dis
pei this Illusion. The Bancroft-W Whit
ney Company was the largest pub.
fishing company. of Law books In tho
United States. The conflagraiop
that followed the earthquake that de.
stroyed San francisco wiped out the
Bancroft-whitney company's plant
and everything connected with 1t,
even the accounts were destroyed.
Taking a legal directory the com.
pany addressed a letter TO each law.
yer named in the directory asking
about whether or not he was indebted
to the company. The response to this
letter greatly surprised the company.
Here is the statement:
"on April IS, 1906. the date of the
great fire, the legal fraternity OF this
country was indebted to us in a sum
in excess Of s2oo,ooooo. The fire de.
stroyed all of. our books OF accounts.
THE lawyers OF San Francisco hay
ing lost their entire libraries were
absolved Of their Indebtedness to us,
amounting to about $4,000. This left
an amount due from outside lawyers
of from sl7o.ooo0o to s175 100000.
."Haying no lists of patrons we sent
a circular letter to the lawyers name
in Madtindalets Legal Directory ad
yising them of our loss and asking
for Information as TO their indebted
ness to us. The responses to this
circular were SO prompt and 50 grail
flying that we think the legal profess
sion should know that OF this total in.
~debtedness. Of say s175,0op.0o. nearly
$780, 90 has already been reported
to us, an we are receiving adyices ey.
cry day from parties who had not pre-.
viously answered our circular asking
about their Indebtedness!
ut is but right &c; say that some Of.
the San Francisco attorneys declined
to accept the eancellationso of their ac-
eattuts and have paid same. Let 1t
he lfuown to the worid that the legal
profession is made up of men Of the:

MuIdoon. the RemodelerI

Our hat IS of to lIr. "Bnly" Muldoon.
the gentleman who rehabnitates and re-
models so to speak, worn-out statesmen
and sterling Americans who find difficulty
IN keeling up the present-day strenuous
pace, but who cannot. nevertheless, be
spared at this time from the councils of
state.
Mr.. Muldoon is rendering a patriotic
and praisewOrthy service to his country.
He deserves-and doubtless will receive
the thanks Of all right-minded men for
entering into the occupation be now fol-
lows, and for the careful attention he
bestows upon those Of especial worthiness
who come under his watchful eve. His
future conduct in this regard-for it is
not to be doubted that HIS reputation is
now well fixed and established-may de-
termine much Of the history Of this great
republic.
Unlike the average prize-hghter who has
seen his best days in the ring, Mr.. Null
doom appears TO have set his eyes higher
than the operation OF a dive. Moreover.
he seems to have missed a great deal Of
the average pugiHsts prediction for
talk. Viewing the physical situation over,

For the America,s Cnn-

It is really a matter for national good
feeling and rejoicing that that fine sports
man, Sir Thomas Upton. has challenged
once more for a yacht race for the
Americas Cup. Il has been rumored for
many months that he had determined not
20 give up, and the rumor IS now con-
frTned by the Official notification to the
New York Yacht Club by the Royal Irish
Yacht Club, Of Dublin-the formal chaI-
lenge is in the mails on the way over.
Much interest depends on this challenge,
for Slr Thomas has become wary after
three attempts To lift the cup and the ex-
pendltuTe Of probably well over q million
dollars, But It was not until sportsmen
everywhere, and the leading journals de-
voted TO yachting, pointed out the diff
culties Of challenging under the rules Of
the New York Yacht Club that Sir
Thomas said anything about it. Then he
pointed out that it IS q trifle unfair 20
expect q yacht TO sail from England un-
der her own sGil-thus requiring her 70 be
stanch and seawOrthy-and yet have to
battle with the calms which have made
50 many Of the cup races on this side
mere drifting matches. So the rules have
been revised, and it is under these re-
vised rules that Sir Thomas Upton chaI-
lenges. Whatever happens. he VIII still
have to build a yacht that can sail over
here by herself, but it is pretty broadly
hinted that he has taken the very best
advice Of the yachting experts and has
discovered some techGicalities which.
taken advantage OF, will reduce the
chances Of the defenders Of the cup.
This friendly rivalry for an insignificant
trophy representing so large an honor
has become an event Of worldwide i'm
portance, and once the terms Of the race
are agreed upon it is certain that the
building OF the yachts, their trials, and
their chances viii furnish topics Of dis
cus5ion for many a long day.
We really feel that Sir Thomas de-
serves that his luck should change. II
he has been unable 90 command success,
he has at least deserved it. by fine persist
ence, hail good-fellowship, and by taking
his losses smilingiy and like q man. Such
Is the feeling Of cordiality about him on
this side of the water that there are.
doubtless, many who would like to see him
win-to give an incentive to the sport and
TO accord TO a good fellow his deserts
