PROFESSl0SAL ETHICS.

The professional ethics which form such fine foundation upon which to rear the temple of law would appeal with greater force to laymen and tho travellers on the highway if those who at least theoretically had charge of them sat closer by them at the fire Something will have to be done or fresh introductions will be necessary.
 A member of the Hartford police force has just been suspended for re- ceiving a fee from member of the bar in the performance of his duty. Up to the time of the discovery he en- joyed an excellent reputation as an of ficer and man, So clear, however, was the offense of which he was guilty that it was impossible for the commission CT to find extenuating circumstances. He is now disgraced and diseredited man.
 Thus far no steps have been taken to punish the member of the bar who tempted him, though what he did was clearly in violation of the ethics of the profession. It is grossly unfair that the policeman should be punished for talk ing the fee while the man who rendered  it goes scot free. Oddly enough de- mand for his disbarment comes from laymen who write to the newspapers in an inquiring mind as to the where abouts of the bar committee on disei- pline. We hope it will pc found and justice can once more hold high her head in that community.

ed show is produced now cannot be ac- cepted as other than insidious in it's assault upon the democratic spirit of the college.
 The manner in which the democratic spirit of Yale is endangered in this connection needs no elaboration farth- CT than to say that It does set up money standard for the boys to re- spect. it does impose upon many a parent a burden which he should not be asked to bear in order that his son may become a member of the Yale brotherhood, and it finally develops in the student indulging himself in this socially prescribed way fondness for extravagant and snobbish living which is incompatible with real culture Nor should the fact be lost upon the stud ent body, which can alone enter upon solution of this problem, as it will when it understands it, that the facul, ty distributes its honors without dis crimination and that on the athletic field the glory goes to the man who does the work. The more the uneven distribution of social honors becomes the rule of the undergraduate world the greater will be the final struggle between genuine democracy and aris- tocracy That it is nearer than was commonly supposed is proved by these disturbing statistics printed in the widely read columns of the Yale Alum nj Weekly. That it will be won by the undergraduate democrats we have not the slightest doubt

state corporations and possesses the legal and legislative knowledge neces- sary in framing an effective law that will hold water. Wh4e this law is in- tended to apply primarily to railroads, it will also be applicable to general corporations engaged in interstate commerce. The President has in mind the needs of manufacturing concerns as well as the railroads and proposes to broaden the general scope of the new act It will, it is said, authorize pooling agreements among the roads after the details have been subjected to and approved by the federal author tiles.
 President Roosevelt has heard great deal during the past year about the hardships imposed upon manufac- turers by the harsh and inelastic pro- visions of the Sherman antitrust law. It has restricted the activity of great many business firms in a manner never contemplated by the framers of the act. When Congress gets through with the Presidents bill and the other bills which may be introduced the situation will be clearer and probably better.

 New Haven has great reason for .thankfulness that she has had and has such solid, upright and sensible bank management. When the test came ev- erything was all right here, and the city has known little of the troubles experienced in other cities. Honesty. prudence and conservatism are pretty good qualities to have in banks. They are in the New Haven banks, and their results are conspicuous and cheering

 There is vet time for the business men Of all the States to exert strong influence on the political parties.

4. COMMA C0MMOTION.

When the minister read from the pulpit that Mir. Blank, going to sea his wife. desires the prayers of the congregation he didn't pay proper at- tention to punctuation When the Mas sachusetts legislators made the fam ous "semicolon" k1uor law they didn't pay proper attention to punotu~ ation. And when printer and proof reader on 8 Kansas newspaper said that two young men went with their girls to attend the teachers institute, and after they left, the girls got drunk" they didn't pay proper atten- ton to punctuation. Because they didn't the owner Of the paper is now being sued for libel by the girls who did not get drunk, as charged by a comma stuck in the wrong place.
 Some people don't care anything about punctuation, such people often care much about writing for puhlica- ticn, Other people have pesly care for punctuation, and when such poo- pie do stoop to write for publication they want the punctuation published too, and in this way they increase the spread of profanity and other things There is a happy and proper mean In punctuation, but the punctuation which offended the Kansas girls was conspicuously unhappy. improper and mean.

SOME GE4TMENG,

Those who believe in claiming" will be encouraged by two large examples of claiming which are now in sight. One of them is that of the heirs of George Washihgten for a large par. Of the site cf the city of Cincinnati The other is that of the descendants of Russian nobleman who claim that their ancestor deposited sum of mon- ey in the Bank of England back in 1T22 and now propose to collect it with compound interest. The total flg- ures about four hundred million dol lars.
 That's claiming some, But so far neither the city of Cincinnati nor the Bank of England has exhibited any willingness to acknowledge the justice of the claim Perhaps they wont soon. If they don't there will be an oppor- tunity for some high or frenzied fnan- ciers to 9capitalize" these claims and keep them alive and kicking until the securities" based on them can be sold It now appears that some big capitalisations have been founded on claims, and perhaps more can be.

 tsrringfeld Republican,
 Tho list of newspapers printing the President 6 annual message in full this year is very small Aside from The Re- publican we have SC far found not more than half dozen papers which gave the full text of Tuesdays message. The Ionly New York paper which printed it entire appears to have been the Trs- lhune whose editor holds q high official position at the hands of Mr. Roosevelt. if he is to have another term and wants his messages printed in full ever the country and will not reform In the mat ter of length, the thing for him to do evidently would be to give every chief editor an amt assadSrsnip or sther high office. Papers like the New York Times and Sun cut the message down one-half or mere, The World, Herald and other metropolitan journals printed a stGl smaller fraction. It used to be that no daily newspsper of high stand ing would ever fail to present these annual messages in full 10 it's readers It ts only since Mir Roosevelt came into ~A7'er that the prGctiee has started and become quite general of cutting down the offieial deltverances of the Presl- dent, and this Is due simply to tho in dlhata 1enRth of his deliverances. Their demands upon newspaper spaeo have become simply intolerahle. This should not be and a President of the United States ought to recognize the fact.
