GENERAL PROTECTION.

lilly educated lawyers the legislature of Arizona has established a com-
 mission, for examination of would
 be limbs of the law, and has pre- scribed beside that the applicant for examination must show that he is graduate of an established law school or has studied three years in
 the office of practising lawyer. Heretofore all that was necessary to be admitted to the bar was for the applicant to read law few months, and pass an examination in the district court before a com mittee chosen from the bar, which committee was generally complais- ant and easy. At any rate there were some strange lawyers made under that method, as all can readily recall. But there were some very good ones also. Law yers were becoming too plentiful, and competition too drastic among the small fry in the profession. Hence the new commission. AL though the impartial mind will have to admit that it Is a good idea to raise the standard of the legal profession, yet even with high standards poor sticks get into the profession sometimes. About the worst lawyer that ever happened in Arizona, who was here in No gales while back. had hanging on his wall license to practice in the Supreme Court of the United States.
 Then to protect the public from frauds and charlatans who fit and sell spectacles and eye glasses board of opticians has been created by law Hereafter all who would fix out anyone in Arizona with pair of eyeglasses must pass ex- animation and receive a license from the new board. In case of loss or breakage of your glasses no longer can you go to the nearest drug store or watch maker and get a pair that will serve. You must go to regularly licensed optician, and have your eyes tested accord ing to law, even though he be one hundred miles away; or you must wait for one to come around. 1 Whether there be any penalty for neglecting to make the optician produce his certificate from the board before he begins his tests is point which THE OASIS has not looked up as yet.
 Long ago the dentists succeeded in securing an enactment making 1t illegal for one to pull tooth or break your jaw without an exami- nation and license. Where 1t is all done legally the hurt is not so great, probably.

Sensational Criminal Trials.

Another famous murder trial began
Wednesday when in Washington
court effort was made to secure a jury
Tor the trial of Annie E. Bradley,
charged with killing Arthur H. Brown,
at one time United States Senator
from Utah. The evidence, it is said,
will disclose much that is salaciously
sensational; much that goes to satisfy
the demands of prurient taste, and will
prove withal a story of human wrong
and tragedy, whose every detail will
be eagerly absorbed by those who find
morbid interest in the contemplation
Of such unhappy events. Not quite
SO shocking as the Thaw frial-not
quite so revolving in its particulars,
