Editorial Comment

limits beyond which an honorable lawyer. os any lawyer who is not an iupuden. Shys,cr, will DO. venture even in aso as forlorn as ;ha. of Tircy l.. Ford.
 Scme,imcs outsiders ar. inpressc Tor an hour pr q day by impudsut mcaJa;i;y, uttered with an air of earncssness, but just as C. D. Collins, after his sensational pcrfornanccs. us. ually lost his cases in the end, so Earl Roger will find ,ha, all his tricks will fall back. in the end, upon his client. lt is vcfy smart to ask questions i'm plying grave charges agains, ;hc other side. but what will Earl Rogers say, and wha; will the jury think when Hency calls on the defense To make proof of these charges SO ire. qucn,ly iasinuatcd by Rogers in his questions! Rogers. by his questions. may make the gallery wonder for n while dnd secure the headlines in ;h, papcf.. ben the day of reckoning will come, and whs, will ha io then lichcs sits back. smiling, for he holds inc ,rumps.
 Sensations gratiiy the newspapers, and entertain the public. but when the case is submitted the public, like the jury. thinks i; all over and asks way an accused man, if innocent. or his lawyers. should deem ii necessary t, attempt to dcbauch hostile witnesses oT to mako false charges against the prosceution. The public, like the Jury, will ask what tho motives of the prosecution. even if they were bal. would hay" to do with the question of the defendant E guilt or innocence; will ask what bearing tho fanciful Spring Valley yarn, fatncred by Earl Rogers, would have, even ii it were trn', upon the question whether Tirey l.. Ford did or did not bribc Super. visor Lonergan.
 Therein lies the explanation of tn. failure of sensational shysters to win their eases. They look only to mak. ing ephcmeral impressions, and not "a ultimate victory. To score for A moment by any means, any false as. scrtion, IS their play. but they forge, that the nsain thing is the verdict. While Earl Rogers keeps bis mind on insulting tho prosecution, Heney keeps his mind on gaining the confidence and convincing the minds of the jury, for thst is the only thing that counts.
 vhe dNty tactics of the defense in the dtst of tho United Railroads case must shock that portion of the com. mani'y which sympathizes with the higher.up boodlcrs because they nave college oducations and wear good clothes The higherups, it appears. can bc just as nasty in their tricks as the iowef. downs. There is not much 10 choose between them. One gang is not less base than the other.
 The attempt to remove Lonergan. however, is more than n plunder, which will hurt Tirey l.. Ford, it is more than n matter of policy in which only Inc accused k concerned. It has q public as we'll as private asesct. The public Is concerned in the admin is,ration of the crimiaal law. Tn. public is willing Co give m accused person a great deal of rope, even when he Is clearly guilty, but the public, how cvet lcnicnt, will not tolerate the ab. duclion of witncsscs for tho state.

this. He has had Bartholomew Hayes

brief resume, in which w, ]. Henderson is
largely quoted;

daughter of Herodias, the wife of Herod

Prattle of the Youngsters

Prof. Thomas Lounsbury,. the noted gram
marian Of Yale, believes in simple English.
He opposes those who would substitute for
simple terms pedantic ones-those who
would say, for instance, that Tomorrow
is Sunday" is incorrect, and would write
instead, Tomorrow will be Sunday"
Prof Lounsbury, discussing this ques-
ton in simple English, said at Yale one
afternoon;
There was a little boy who began to
keep a diary. His first entry was, Got up
this morning at o'clock.
HE showed the entry to his mother, and
she, horror stricken, said: Have you never
been to school? Got up, indeed Such an
expression! Does the sun get up? No, 1t

"And she scratched out Got up at T. and

of1cially and legally proclaimed that acting
is trade. and a combination that seeks to
control the theater Is a restraint Of trade.
Having established this, the rest Is easy.
Freed from the shackles that Frohman and
Lebler q Co. and Nixon q Zimmerman
and William A. Brady and a few other
cheap producers, not to mention Klaw q
Erlanger, have put upon her, Art should
now soar unrestricted on the pinions to be
provided by the shuberts.
Secondly, and lesser, Il VIII bring about
a judicial adjudication of the extent to
which theatrical managers may associate
themselves for mutual benefit The Syn
dictate" could not last a minute II the own
ers and managers Of theaters outside %
New York did not act In harmony with
them. This has brought about an under
standing that amounts in some instances
TO the exclusion OF certain attractions
from certain houses, or from certain cities
Here is the greatest evil that has come
from the existence of the trust" The
difficulty has been, however that the So
called independently have not undertaken
to remedy this situation. As was pointed
out once before by The Bee, during the first
five years Of the controversy, an Omaha
theater stood open TO the uses Of the 'in-
dependents,' but only four attractions were
offered during all that time, Mrs. F1ske
was here once, Weber g. Fields twice, and
a minor star formed the fourth Of the quar-
tet. II Omaha had been depending on
the independents" instead of the "syndi-
cate for theatrical amusements during
those years, how would it's people have
Jared? In the meantime, the trust" sent
the best actors the world affords 60 Omaha,
and affairs at the theater prospered. For
two seasons Omaha has been a closed town
to the independents" but some fine per-
formances have been given at the theaters,
and the public has been very well enter
tanned. What is true Of Omaha is true of
d great many other towns throughout the
country.
The advent of the shuberts into the fight
against the fruits has given 1t great Inn
petus These gentlemen have proven them
seIvss aggressive fighters. They have lured
star after star away from the Syndicate"
managers, until they now have a very at
tractive list Of names. and they have Sc
cured theaters In nearly all the principal
cities of the country. Their activity has
brought matters to an acute stage, and
the indictment just returned In New York
may serve in some way to hasten the ad-
justment that all at all familiar with the
AFFAIRS of the theater have felt to be in
evftable IL not impending. When that ad-
justment comes II will be we'll for the man
who has restrained his desire to build a
theater In order to assist the "independ-
ents" in crushing out the "trust'' that has
been hampering Art for so many years.
Just where Art will land, now that its
wings are about to be freed, remains to
be seen.
