Judge for personal or official
mis- conduct. 1t is new law,
Never until recently had Missis-
lsippi judges or chancellors rea
son for such surveillance.
Worse still for the Bar. 1t is
said that many shysters have
crept into the profession. Their
corrupt and debasing methods
made it necessary for the Legis-
lature to pass Sections 230 and
231 of the Code of 1906, and pro-
vided heavy penalties for the
lawyer, who before or after
actions brought, to promise or
give, or offer to promise or give,
a consideration, ETC. We can
understand why honorable law
yers hesitate to move in the pun
ishment of the shysters. Their
cry to the populace would be,
I'VE are the peoples friends,
These lawyers want to charge
high fees" Better pay good
fees to a good lawyer than poor
fees to a cunning, little lawyer
fraud They will sell their eli
ent for higher bid. Besides, if
the shyster does his best for his
client. they (the clients) ought
to have sense enough to know
that a shyster cannot serve his
client efficiently or satisfactorily.
The intelligence of the commun-
ity can quickly draw the differ.
ence between the true and spu-
rious lawyer; and now that the
Legislature has given a remedy,
there are men who will see that
the lawyer does his duty; and
that the shyster and his dirty
tool. who for the pay that's in it,
will degrade themselves, the
law and the profession by rum
ming to the kindred and friends
of men who are killed, and bar
gaining with them to employ

TO FIND THE GARDEN OF EDEN.

Professor Clinton McMickle,
a Kansas scientist and archaeo-
logist, is SO confident that the
Garden of Eden was located in
Yazoo county, this state: that he
wants to organize a stock COM
pany for the purpose of making
exclusive excavations on the
farm of w. A. Henry, about
seven miles south of Yazoo
City. He expects to uneal th
the ruins of a once splendid city
erected shortly after the expul-
sion of Adam and Eve from the
Garden.
Professor McMickle is positive
that on the Henry farm will be
found the ruins of a magnificent
temple, the doors of which are
of pure gold.
He declares this was the site
of the ancient City of Prseidon,
destroyed by a conjunction of
Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupi-
ter, just 4, ,135 years ago. Pro-
fessor McMickle states that he
has conclusive evidence based on

and Egyptian records. that va

ming of the trial, January %,
the leading newspapers of New
York City have devoted more
than 5000 columns to the case.
The estimated number of words
ranges between 100000 and
100000. Placed end to end
the colmmns would stretch over
one and three fourths statute

devoted to accounts of the trial
by the daily press of the entire

One hundred and forty-two

THAW TRIAL sMAsHEs RECORDS

the trial in New York of Harry
K. Thaw for his life for the
murder of Stanford White has
realized the predictions made at
its beginning. that it would be-
come the most famous in the
history of criminal trials in
America. The long trial has
been a record breaking one in
many respects.
One of the most interesting
side-lights on the famous case is
afforded by a comparison Of the
