The lawyer who makes an active
and efficient defense of client whom
be personally believes to be guilty of
crime is not proper subject for any
mans reproaches; nor need his con-
science, if he has any, worry him.
But the lawyer who makes protract-
ed technical battle for a criminal
whose guilt has been fully and clearly
established after a fair trial is an en-
emy of society and a disgrace to the
honorable profession Of the law.
There are everywhere too many such
lawyers who involve the course of
Justice in maze of pleas. motions,
demurrers, and the like. all without
merit and all designed to obstruct,
delay and defeat the proper judicial
determination of their clients cause.

our legal procedure and renovating
the profession by getting rid of the
criminal lawyer, or, rather the lawyer

WHAT is A LAWYERS DUTY7

Governor Hughes has been talking
to the New York State Bar Associa
tion saying among other things:
l want to say it will be a sorry day
for this country when the leaders of
the American lar are to be deemed
unqualified for public service. Such
men ought never to take a retainer
which arrays them against the public
interest. A man that engages in prac-
tice that involves such antagonism is
traitor to the interests of the people
and commits treason.
This is noble conception of law
yer's duty; but it would deprive the
law breaking corporations and many
other important malefaotors of the
benefit of defense. OF course Gov
ernor Hughes did not mean that the
railroads which have been giving re-
bates and the monopolies which have
crushed all competition by criminal
methods should not be permitted to
employ lawyers--a right not denied to
the meanest criminal or the greatest
murderer, such as Czologosz. What
he did mean. probably, was that law
yers who use their talents and skill to
devise ways and means for any corpo
ration or any person to evade the plain
meaning and intent Of statute are
themselves accessories to the laws
violations. and they should be held up

THE BRITISH AND SUNDAY.

Just as the French are getting into
practical trouble over the notion OF
enforcing a weekly rest, sometimes
called "Dominical, the British seem
to be getting into trouble over the Sec
ularization of their traditional Sab
bath. A remarkable appeal for the
stricter observance Of Sunday appears
in the London papers. Perhaps the
most remarkable thing about it is that
it is signed by the Anglican Arch
bishop of Canterbury, by the Roman
Catholic Archbishop of Westminster,
the primates Of their respective com
munions, and by the President Of the
Evangelical Council Of the Evangeli-
cal Free Churches" who may be as
sumed to be the most accurate single
representative Of the various dissen-
ting bodies.
Another remarkable feature Of the
appeal is what one may call it's Sabba-
tartan ism. While the signers empha.
size the Importance Of the weekly rest
they are careful to add:
"There is more than this. Under
the sacred sanction which attaches to
the Lords Day it is intended that all
should have opportunity, in the wor-
ship OF Almighty God, to escape from
the grip Of ordinary cares and occupa-
tions into regions Of higher thought
and nobIa,r aspiration"
While it is not for secular journal
to take sft les upon such question az
is thus raj led, it is open to such jour-
nal to poin out that the religious OBJ
servance of Sunday Is already stricter
in the British Islands than in any other
part Of the world, excepting possibly
some of th British possessions. A gen.
eral relaxa tion in it's British observ-
ance, such as these distinguished Brit.
ons appear 10 deplore, would denote the
disfippeara neo of what may be called
the, old-fas hioned view of the English
pt oples.

ATHENA. ORE, FEB. a.. ....... 1907

The Press has always regarded j.
M. Hays as joke, and there is moth
ing in his letter relating to Mayor
Plamondon printed in another column,
that changes its opinion of him, in the
least. The only reason the letter Is
given space is because it reflects on
the integrity Of Athena's Mayor, Is
properly signed, and had not the Press
printed it, the article would have
probably appeared in some other
county paper circulating in a locality
where the author is not SO well known
as he is here. This fellow Hays is
periodical buttinski and the period
comes along about election time,
whether it be national, state or mu-
nicipal. Voting "niggers" ir Kansas
spoiled him and he has never gotten
over il. He closes his letter with
"Yours for a better town." What has
Hays ever contributed to make
Athena better town? How much has
be invested in Athena? How many
brick blocks does he own? In what
measure does he bring trade to Athena
that business men may afford to repair
sidewalks and property owners ma
cadamized streets? Does he create any
thing but hot air and discord? Fin
ally, what has he at stake? The Press
reiterates that DR.. Plamondon has per-
formed the duties of mayor well. If
Hays has better material let him tiot
it out. Athena is not prohibition
town. It is in local option district.
and the Press considers that municipal
affairs are conducted here as clean as
can be found in any town Of like ccndi-
tion. If the saloons are selling liquor
to minors and Hays has convicting
evidence of the fact and does not see
fit to swear out a warrant for the ar
rest of the man who sells the liquor,
he has "cold feet," and is reoreant in
the performance of his duties as the
mouthpiece Of his Law and Order En-
forcemeut League. The sidewalk
question is pertinent-in fact it has
been so for years.

NATIONAL CHILD LABOR LAW.

The child labor evil cannot be left
to the states to remedy is one of the
important points brought out in Sena-
tor Beveridge's defense of his bill to
create national child labor law as
outlined by the senator in compre-
hensive article appearing in the Feb
ruary number of the Woman's Home
Companion. Senator Beveridge adds:
"The first thing we see on studying
the child labor question is that this
evil cannot be left to the States to re-
medy. OF course there is not the
slightest reason in the world why it
should be left to the States to remedy;
but we started ont one hundred and
twenty -five years ago with the notion
that each State was a little nation and
that this artificial thing called a
state had certain rights. At that
time the idea of this being Nation,
a people living in one land, and flying
one flag bad not thoroughly developed.
There were many great men in our
constitutional convention who saw this
clearly; but there were lot OF little
men who wanted to be big men, and
could be big men only in the narrow
borders of their colonies not being great
enough for the country as whole.
They insisted on the theory of the sove-
reignty of the State. These little men
had the votes. and that is how 1t has
happened that we started out the way
we did. I am talking bluntly in order
to tell the fact-and this is the plain
fact, crude though it be.
"Ihis child labor is not a State
affair. It is not a national affair.
The practical reasons why the States
cannot deal with it is, first OF all, be-
cause they will not deal with it; and
second, because they would not deal
with it adequately. In the sections
of the country where this civic pesti-
lence RACES in greatest fury. the States
will not act. They will not act be-
cause the great manufacturing or
mining interests are 60 powerful in
those States that they control or at
least decisively influence the legisla-
lures of those States. So that in these
States no effective law can be passed.
If model bill is proposed in any OF
those States. it is killed; or. what is a
good deal worse than killed, it is NUT
ilated. That is to say, child labor
law is passed which the people are led
to believe will end the evil, but which
has been 80 cunningly changed that it
permits the evil to go on. Thus the
people are fooled and the practice is
not stopped"

MR.. HAYS IN PRINT.

Athena Feb. IA. Ito the Editor. y
1 wish to take exceptions to your words
of praise of our honorable Mayor, in
the issue of February 6.
Permit me to point out that he has
not fulfilled we'll the duties of his
office.
Mr.. Plamondon approached prom
inent church member before his cleo
tion and volunteered the information
that it would not be an open town
under his administration. Witness
how he fulfilled his promise. The
town run wide open until closed by the
efforts Of the Law Enforcement
League.
When complaints have been made
that minors were allowed to frequent
saloons, they were turned down by the
reply: "Swear out your warrant and
we will prosecute"
But on, Mayor has caused the side
walks to be repaired-partially. A
lady from the country with her BABY
in her arms, falling through hole in
the walk and threatening to sue the
city for injuries sustained, brought
this result about.
And there are walks yet in our town
that are dangerous to life and limb.
The walk in Adams street, leading to
The Christian church, over which
hundreds of people pass every night.
is full of holes and so narrow that
people must pass in single flle, or be
crowded off into the mud.
Yours for better city.

An exchange says that "In the be-
giuning God created the heavens and
the earth and all things therein. He
then created man and woman and left
the loaters on the corners, and in due
time they multiplied and then spread
into post-offices and depots and the
stores. In these places they sit and
explain state and natioual problems
that have vexed great minds. While
the loafer is thus engaged his wife is
out washing for her neighbors, and
the poor helpless children are left at
home taking care of themselves as best
they can. There is nothing more no.
ticable than the loafer."
