THE DIGNITY OF THE EAR.

It goes without saying that we hold no brief for Matthew O'Brien of the city of Bridgeport, who has made three unsuccessful attempts to gain admission to the bar of Fairfield coun- ty. We certainly hold no brief against the lawyers of that section of the State, who are among the ablest to be found in Connecticut. Tn so far as our under taking to comment at all. upon his ex- perience insinuates that a sort of re- tainer controls us, it has to do with the dignity of the bar, which must mani festly be greater than the dignity of any member of it. We are very much in doubt over the situation as 1t exists and find it difficult to conclude that the OBrien problem is being handled as it should be handled to conserve the dignity Of the bar.
 MT O'Brien has shown conclusively his intellectual capacity to practice law He has passed the examination which is required of all applicants for admission. He has petitioned the Su- preme court for advice and support only to be told that the right of man to practice law goes by favor; that it is a privilege which is under the con trol of the county bar in which the ap- plicant resides. The only satisfaction he has received from the county bar of Fairfield is a series of votes refusing him admission. No explanation has been vouchsafed him for the action though he has declared his willingness to submit to searching investigation into his private character, The Bridge port Farmer says in a sarcastic vein which but thinly veis its disapprova of the attitude taken towards MT O'Brien; Up to this time the reason for rejecting his application has beer untltness based upon certain alleged ir. Irregularities in his record of the some, what remote past. These unfitted hin for membership in union, not ont of the members of which had evel been guilty of even the slightest irreg ula-itv nr ever had even a chemica trace of stain upon his record"
 Whether the dignity of the Fairfielt county bar is being injured or not b, it's attitude towards MT. O'Brien car only be judged when the alleged irreg ularities are laid before a tribunal fit ted to consider them. So long as nt mention is made of them and so lons as MT o'Brien persists in declaring that he wishes his record inquired in to, it is going 10 be difficult for tn, average person to believe that the ac ton taken is good for the reputation of the bar. What would immensely adt to the dignity of the bar would be frs to take MT O'Brien at his word an, then having established its case agains him proceed to disbar everywher, present members of the bar whose pri vate conduct falls below the standard set up by the o'Brien investigation That would be setting pace whi I would place the Connecticut bar at tn, head of the procession.

Waller gave wheI asked how he came to sign the petiti oi for the pardon of Kate Cobb, who i l serving a life sentence in the Stat, prison as the consequence of his abl' prosecution of the fAse for the State

He said: T do not believe in eternal damnation either in this world or in the world to come ;" Surely MT. O Brien has given some signs of having form ed the habits of law, abiding and self respecting men, which might be taken as ground for the risk of admitting him to the bar of Fairfield county We are more than ever inclined to the the ory that the bar committee of that section of the State can improve upon it's conduct in many ways. We say that with only the protoundest respect for the bar of Connecticut, however.

BIG PRINCIPLE
IS INVOLVED
IN PANTS
Young Calves at University All
Worked Up Because "Preps"
Decide to Wear Corduroy
Against "Upper" Orders,
(Tucson Starr

Whether or not the "preps" at the
University OF Arizona shall be al
lowed to break the unwritten law
winch says that no prep" shall be al
lowed to wear corduroy trousers, is a
question that is at present uppermost
in the minds of the older students or
college men at the big school.
Heretofore, the rule in force in
all institutions similar to the uniyer.
sity, providing that curdoroys are for
upper class or college men only, has
been in vogue at the local university.
This year, however, the "preps" great
ly outnumber the college men, and
being aware of this fact, they decided
to run things with higher hand than
they had ever before been allowed to.
Shortly after the present term of the
university started, "pTeps" could be
seen in town and on the campus deck
ed out in their corduroy trousers in
open defiance to the custom of years.
The college men at once set up a
yell, but the ''preps," realizing that
there is strength in numbers, asked
the older men what they intended
doing about it.
The fight was waged back and forth
and finally it was understood that the
college men had informed the faculty
that unless the finery of the ''preps"
was taken away from them, they
would quit the school. However, this
seems to be a mistake, as they are
still there. Yesterday it was under
stood that the matter had been arbi-
trated and the the question had been
amicably settled, the college men pay
ing the 'preps" half price for their
corduroys.
This, OF course, is only rumor, and
whether or not the aggravating ques
ton which has caused the burning
OF considerable midnight oil recently
at the university on the part OF the
college men, really has been settled
in a manner satisfactory to all, is a
thing that time alone will show.

Sixtieth Congress Con
vened at Noon To-
day--Uncle Joe is
Speaker

Washington, D. G., Dec. Prompt
~ at tho stroke Of twelve today tae
sixheth congress convened, the
House being called to order by the
clerk and the Senate by Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks. The House organi-
zation was agrgeed upon in the caucus
held Saturday. Joseph G. Cannon
was rerelected speaker and John
Sharp Williams was chosen as the
minority leader. Mr.. Frye Of Maine
was elected president pro tenn Of the
Senate. The Presidents message
will not be presented until tomorrow.
When congress meets just before
presidential campaign, as in the
present case, the policy Of the lead
ers Of the majority has always been
to confine the session more to oratory
than action. But the session about
to begin win prove an exception to
the ule. The demand for currency
Legislation cannot be ignored.
Othe matters Of great commercial
and political Importance also demand
attention. Many recommendations
viii Be contained Il the Presidents
message. Though few Of them, Of
course, will be enacted into law at the
present session the majority Of the
subjects viii at least come up for dis
cussion. The control Of railroads and
other corporations doing an inter-
state business will receive attsetion,
including proposed amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law.
Other recommendations will prob
badly include a graduated inheritance
tax, consideration Of federal in
come tax, 4 revision on tariff on im-
ports from the Philippines, the pas
sage Of a modified shipping bin, the
creation Of postal savings bank, the
establishment Of more effective
public health service than now EXISTS
and the extension Of the parcels
post
The demand for the exclusion Of
the Japanese viii be another serious
problem with which the administra-
ton and the republican leaders in
congress viii have to deal. The Pa
cific coast states are insistent that
Japanes shall be excluded from Amer
lean oil, and the delegates to congress
from those states will urge legisla-
ton.

DECISION

Washington, Dec. BY a decision
handed down by the court Of appeals
Of the District Of Columbia, the Sec
retary Of the interior has no right to
strike from the rolls Of Indian tribes
the names Of persons once placed on
them. The question was raised in
cases filed by John E. Goldsby, Geo,
Allison and Oda Allison, who claim
cd that their names had been stricl-
e,i from the rolls Of the Choctaw ma
ton by order Of Secretary Hitchcock
after the rolls had been made up.
The secretary contended that the
names wera only tentatively placed
there and that he had a right within
a certain time to revise the rolls and
these names we're stricken off within
that time.
