 The Christmas tide recalls the aa vent of the Redeemer. He came in the fullness of time. and when He was most needed. The world was sick Roman civilization, Hebrew religion and Greek philosophy had proved in- adequate-'the world by wisdom knew not God" The Great Physician, came in the nick o'time, and 'to as many as received Him, gave He the right to become Sons of God" He came to the king. the scribe and priest. poor shepherd, wise men. rich men. educated men, simPle-hearted, ignorant men, but among them all there were Just two classes-a line of cleavage passes not between the aristc cracy and the plebean m3ss. but cuts it's way through all classes and separates the sheep on the one side and the goats on the other. Rich and poor, learned and ignorant. shepherds, master and slave, priest and soldier received Him. and ot the same classes others reflected HiHl. The same Is true today.
 It Is true now in Bisbee! Jesus is recelVed as Gods best gift, and He is rejected. as worthless and unhonored now in this camp. But even. now he that hath this gift hath eternal life and he that hath Him not shall not see nie, but the wrath of God abideth on hlm. The Herod kind-the flesh. the passion with low cunning would slav him.

MExICANS SAVED COURTNEYS LIFE
By Breaking In the Door of Burning House They Made
 Escape Possible.

Bob Courtney, who was in the Kindred house. destroyed by fire o.. Naco road Sunday, says he certainly would have perished in the fire had not Mexicans broken in- his door and released him from the seething fur mace in which he awakened.
 He lost gold watch in the fire and was burned about the neck and should CTS. The fire, which was caused by an overloaded cookstove, wholly de- stroyed Mrs. Kindred's home, and for tme it was feared the fire might re- suit in a confiagration of great extent, but 1t was controlled by the prompt arrival and rapid work of the fire de Dartment.

PHOENIX PHYSICIAN : DOES NOT GIvE UP Sues For Writ of Cetorari To Compel Examiner To Pro-

Special to Review. !

PHOENIX, Dec. 214=-To get back the license recently revoked, Dr. R. A. Alton has filed in the district court an application for a writ of eertorari to compel the Arizona board of med ical examiness to produce their rec ords and show why his license should not be restored.
 Aiton's license was revoked follow ing a meeting of the examiners on December 10, at which they took tes- timony of several who asserted that Alton was offering to cure numan ills that are for the most part incurable- The specific charge against him was ''unprofession conduct"
 In his application for the writ, Alton asks it on fourteen grounds most of which question the legality, of the medical board in the matter of hear ing charges of .'unprofessional con duct" and if in their opinion the de fendant is guilty, ordering his license revoked.

PoE.s REAL NroNuNlENr.

Certain high-browed gentlemen.
who edit literary journals intended for
the perusal of other high-broSved gen
tlemen, are exceedingly perturbed In
their spirits over the fact that in Janu-
airy next there occurs the centenary
of the birth of Edgar Allen Poe.
They are trying to settle among
themselves how best to celebrate this
significant date in American literature.
Some have proposed a monument in
Richmond; others think one should be
erected in Baltimore, and still others
want some sort of a memorial hall at
his alma mater, the University of
Virginia.
In each case certain ladylike men
have vigorously protested against a
memorial of any kind to Poe.
ITO Poe, indeed"
''Why, the creature was a human
being like the most or us. with his
weaknesses and frailties! Really he
drank, drank to excess If certain
veracious chroniclers are to be be-
lieved."
There is no intention here to defend
drunkenness. It has caused as much
sin and sorrow as any other rraiity IN
the world. But is it not rather late
and infinitely little to visit upon tho
dead Poe a spiteful punishment for a
frailty of which the unfortunate was
the chief sufferer?
Think of it! This man wrote a few
poems which have melodies like those
the angels sing when their hearts are
attuned to highest happiness. He
wrote prose as few in the past one
hundred and fifty years have been
able to write it.
He was one of the scant two or three
who have achieved imperishable glory
for literature produced by Americans.
He wrote not line that was subver>
sive of good morals. And yet some
anmalcules raise up their voices in
super-righteous protest against cele-
brating Poe's centenary.
Well let it be so. The man who
wrote "Annabel Lee" and "To Helen -
the man who penned a half dozen
masterpieces in prose has a monument
more enduring than pillar of stone,
more beautiful than bust of bronze.

PREyUDICTNG THE CASE.

One of the canons of ethics for the
guidance of members of the legal
profession drafted by committee of
the American Bar association has to
do with newspaper publications by
lawyer as to pending or anticipated
litigation which may interfere with
a fair trial in the courts 1t is
held that generally such publications
are to be condemned, but if the ex-
treme circumstances of a particular
case justify a statement to the public
an ex oarte reference to the facts
should not go beyond quotation from
the records and papers on file in the
court.
The problem here presented would
appear to be an extremely difficult
one with which to deal LAWYERS
might adopt rules by which their con-
duct could be governed, of course. all
though it is no secret that in all mat
ters pertaining to discipline they are
very indulgent in their attitude toward
one another. They have had much to
say first and last about questionable
methods and the unprofessional course
that is frequently pursued, but, as a
rule, they are careful not to mention
any names and attorneys of shady
reputation are rarely disbarred.
Granting, however, that lawyers could
be reached and restrained in the
premises, it becomes necessary to con-
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-09-11

slider the public, individuals who pro-
ceed on the theory that the blessing
of free speech is among their birth
rights and who are only too anxious
to talk.
The opinion may be ventured that
of late years one of the weakest links
in the chain of criminal jurisprudence
is that which connects the jury and
the people who constitute the prosecu-
the defendant and in whose interests
the trials are conducted. 1t seems to
be more and more the custom to at
tempt to prejudice the case, to create
popular sentiment usually in favor of
the accused. Citizens who are not
sworn, who are not subjected to cross
examination and who may not be
called as witnesses. even. are at lib
erty to throw any light they may
choose upon the details of this or that
tragedy. They may tell the truth or
they may lie.
Just what influence such efforts may
have upon the verdict rendered it is
impossible to determine. Practically.
there is reason to believe that often it
is considerable, though theoretically
it produces no effect. No safeguards
that can be employed will serve to
keep jurymen from a certain atmos-
phere arising from public sentiment
and, as intimated. prejudice of that
sort is apparently unavoidable.
