Battle with Big Catfish

Chester Marcum, farmland near West Alton, is exhibiting many scars and fifty-pound catfish to bolster up a story of fierce hand-to-fn battle which he claims took place a few days ago in the shallow shore waters of the Mis- souri river.
 According to Marcum 's story, he was fishing in the Missouri with a seventy ive-foot throw line, and when he had cast it out into the deep water for the seventh time he felt mighty pull and began drawing his catch in toward the bank.
 After he had drawn the fish to the shallow water near the shore the line broke. He promptly leaped into the pool and grasped the fish s fins. The "oat ' eouldn t swim with ease in that depth, but it struggled and threw Mar cum down, submerging him. He rose, undaunted, and renewed the battle with bleeding hands After fifteen minutes of fierce struggling he was victor. He dragged the fish to the bank, rested half an hour and then took it to West Alton. St. Louis Dispatch to the New York World.

People Will Stop Talking Medicine

The kings favorite physician, Sir Frederick Treves, frequently startles the public by his frank utterance of bright paradoxes. It was he who called crowd of nurses who flocked to South Africa out of love of sensation and advertisement "the plague of women. ''
 Speaking yesterday at the opening of an isolation hospital, he observed that the time was not far distant when the bottles on doctors shelves would be re- duced to a very small number. Resort would be had to simple living, suitable diet and plenty of sun and fresh air. He looked forward to the time when people would leave off the extraordinary habit of taking medicine when they were sick.
 Referring to the discoveries in bac. astrological science and the great re- suits achieved in the reduction of the mortality from infectious diseases, Sir Frederick said he looked forward to the time when it would be an anomalous for persons to die of scarlet fever, ty. phoid cholera, and diphtheria, as it would be for man to die of wolf E bic in England.-London cable to New York Sun.

The Safford Journal is presumably "mad" at Globe for not calling off the Fourth of July celebration in favor of Safford. In its last issue it sarcas. tieally (apparently) says that the bet ter element in Globe will "eut out the booze" and go to the Valley celebra. tion. The Stafford brother has evidently celebrated in Globe in the past There should be no misunderstanding about this. Booze will have no more part in the celebration in Globe on the Fourth than buttermilk in Safford. Further more, it would take the C.. V. G. & N. railroad about six weeks to haul to Stafford the "better element" of Globe, with its present equipment.

FAMOUS MINE REFERRING OUT
Mount Morgan in Australia Changing
 from Gold to Copper

For years the Mount Morgan Mining Company of Australia has been paying a monthly dividend of $l45,000 on it's stock. The shareholders have thus far received nearly 25,00O,000 in dividends. A great change has come to pass, how ever, and it will interest all who have known Mount Morgan as the most won derful gold mine in the world.
 Professor J. w. Gregory, who occu- pies the chair of geology in the Univer. sity of Glasgow, has just issued his book on Australia, which is partly the result of his extended studies in that continent for several years. He says that the gold of Mount Morgan has been decreasing in quantity, and that the mountain is rapidly changing into a low grade copper proposition. The com pany is preparing now to extract the copper values, for it is believed that the history of Mount Morgan as a great gold producer is practically closed.
 Mount Morgan is in the southeastern part of Queensland. It is a curious fact that long ago the poor herder named Gordon, who owned it and sold it for a pittance, told the purchasers that he had observed curious green and blue stains all over the mountain, and he would not be surprised if it con tained copper.
 His surmise has proved true at last, but the experienced prospectors who found gold there did not tell Gordon of the indications that fairly startled them, and he gladly accepted their offer of $5 an acre for the land. Gordon died in poverty, but he lived long enough to know the value of the prize that had slipped through his hands.
 The Morgan brothers, who purchased the mountain, let four other men into the enterprise, and five years later each of the six men was a millionaire. The stock has remained in comparatively few hands and the mine has made a for tune for everyone concerned in it. The army of miners working in the mine has usually numbered about 1900.
 The richest gold deposits were found at the top of the mountain, and until the top had been quarried away the dividends amounted to more than $500,- 900 a month. The ore decreased consid- erably in the value of its gold, but later it remained for years almost uni form in richness, and it was thought likely that the entire mountain would be worth digging away:
 Recently, however, as the level of operations has been lowered, less gold has been extracted, and now the gold has largely disappeared, and copper has come into view. With copper supplant- ing the precious metal, Mount Morgan will no longer be known as one of the richest spots on the globe.

REFORMING THEIR PROFESSION

The law is the greatest of all profes- sions, in that it embraces all human in terests. Members of that profession are the chief factor in all civilized govern ments. They frame constitutions and statutes, they constitute the bench and the bar, and thus have charge of the enforcement of the laws. Their power is almost unlimited and the responsibil- ity of the profession to society is com mensurate with its power. One of the most hopeful phases of the tidal wave of reform that has been for many months past surging over this country IS the bright prospect it holds out of effecting an elevation of the moral stan dards of the lawyers. We are not re- ferring to the shysters, the misplaced laborers who should be armed with picks and spades, for although these constitute a pest, they are not a thou sandth part as dangerous as those emi- nent attorneys who, for great fees, de- vote their profound learning and con summate ingenuity to devising ways by which gigantic trusts and combines evade statutes by getting through or over or under them. But for this kind of legal aid predatory wealth would have been incapable of most of the evil practices by which it has acquired many millions to which it has no moral right.
 Some years ago there happened to meet in this city three lawyers of na- tional reputation, two of whom had long been in successful practice on the crim- inal side and the other had had great success in important cases on the civil side. In the course of long conversa- ton the two criminal specialists regaied each other with recitals of many in- stances of sharp practice by which they had succeeded in securing acquittal of more than hundred men, whom they knew and the public believed to be
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-06-23

guilty. The third member of the group, after listening to his brethren for an hour or more, remarked that, while he had never defended man charged with capital offense, for his taste did not lie in that direction, he had in all prob ability done more harm than both of his distinguished brethren, for he had helped the strong to plunder the weak by evasion of the intent of laws. He had done this on great scale. "But, " he said, eff the lawyers will not reform when public indignation will call a halt and may call it in a rude manner. I" We'll, the effort of the profession to re- form itself began some time ago and is still progressing. Eminent jurists, in- cluding Mir. Justice Brewer of the Unit ed States supreme court, have spoken many words of truth and soberness that have laid bare the practices that no really moral man attempts to defend, although lawyers of high standing in morals as we'll as in learning practice them. Frederick Trevor Hill, author of "Lincoln the Lawyer" has an article on "Legal Defeaters of the Law," in the current issue of Putnam 's Monthly, in which he quotes from Mir Justice Brewer to show the sort of spoke which the trickster can surreptitiously insert in the wheels of justice. A witness tes- tifed in a certain case that a person named Mary was present when par ticular conversation took place, and the question was asked, "What did Mary sayf" This was objected to- and after some discussion the judge ruled out the question. An exception" to this de- cision was immediately taken, and on appeal the higher court reversed the verdict on the ground that the question should have been answered. At the second trial the same inquiry was pro pounded and elicited the information that Mary said nothingl Mir Hill, in concluding his very interesting article, submits that "lawyers are very much in need of seeing themselves as others see them. It should be salutary to the profession to know that they are com. ing to be looked upon by fair and broad minded men as defeaters of the law and mockers of its majesty. If this deepening impression is not justified, it is high time that certain things not now spoken of should be openly dis. eussed, and that the powerful influence of the best element of the profession should be exerted upon its members, to the end that public opinion may not anticipate private information. Would it not be well to amend the ethical rule that "the lawyer first duty is to his client" in some way that would not be construed as relieving a lawyer from any duty to his state or to organized society," Is it possible that such rule as the above can be safe guide for members of any profession.-Washing. ton Post.
