1t may suit some Americans to

their love Of song and misty phiIos-

his practice yields him 100000 a
year, he would be justified in charg-
ing a fee of $4,000 for his services.
If he was engaged only a month, then
he ought not to charge less than
1888 13 To charge more would
be to violate good ethics, which, it
seems, the lawyers in the Thaw case
have done.
In thus laying down what we re-
gard as a principle of fairness, we
do not forget for a moment that ex-
pert knowledge of any sort is worth
more than ordinary knowledge, and
for that reason ought to be better re-
munerated. True, this is not always
done, notably so with preachers and
some others; but lawyers and many
physicians have the advantage of most
professional men. They usually get
the full worth of their services, and
sometimes a great deal more But
just how much more valuable the
knowledge of the professional man
is than that of the ordinary 1aborer
it is hard to say, for many things are
to be taken into consideration the
time he spent in the work of prepar-
alton, the money it cost him, and his
experience and skill acquired only
by years of hard practice in which
the rewards were few.

Big Fees For Lawyers
Macon News

Harry X. Thaw says he was forced
into bankruptcy by the lawyers. Ac-
cording to his statement, Hartridge
was paid 100000 and Delmas $780,
600. In addition to these amounts
he paid out to other lawyers S417,-
900, which, of course, included some
other expenses connected with his
case. Altogether his trial cost him
and his family 100000 the greater
part of which came out of his own
estate. The lawyers, it seems, got
the lions share, and still they are
not satisfied, as is shown by the re-
cent claims they have filed against
Thaw, forcing him, as he says, into
bankruptcy.
If Thaw has made a true and cor
rect statement he presents, without
perhaps intending it, nice ethical
question for our consideration. That
is, how high may a lawyer make
his fee for services rendered client
and yet save himself from being ac-
cused of a species of robbery? Now,
in the case of Thaw, who was being
tried for his life, we know that he
was doubtless willing to sacrifice all
he had to save his neck, but did that
fact justify his lawyers in wanting
to take all? Undoubtedly it is a
nice question of morals whether one
does the right thing who takes adj
vantage of the weakness of human
fear in the presence of death The
man who is saved from the electric
chair or the galloWs by his lawyer
may be perfectly willing to give him
for the service the whole of his pos
sessions, but we hardly think the
lawyer would be doing right to take
it. The most that he should ask
ought to be what he considers a fair
remuneration, which he will estimate,
not in accordance with the value
which his client places on his life,
but according to the amount he
would have made in his ordinary prac-
tice during the time he gave to the
case in question To illustrate: If
a lawyer devotes the whole of his
time for three months to a case in
which mans life is at stake, ana

His Little Way

You ought to hear him brag ant
blow
When everything. is span and spick
He wants to let the people know
That he's the only boy to turn the
trick
But when he sort of fizzles out
Because he didn't show much sense,
You'll see how quick he'll turn about
And lay the blame on Providence.
If he should make lucky deal,
Some fortunate investmant pick,
His swelling pride he'll not conceal,
Yes; he's the boy to turn the trick
But if his stock should chance to
fall,
His vanity has still defense.
1t wasn't foolishness at all
He shoulders it on Providence
With everything it's just the same;
His self-assurance makes one sick
The credit he will always claim
He is the boy to turn the trick
But when there's trouble in the air
You'll find him making the pre-
tense
Of thinking it's not his affair.
He puts it all on Providence.

SALOONKEEPERS GAVE
MONEY TO CHURCH

EAST ALTON, ILL, Aug. n
(SpeciaD Following the gift of a
500 sidewalk, which five local sa-
loonkeepers built for them, members
of the East Alton Methodist church
are raising 500 fund for the relief
OF wives and families of drunkards.
The saloonkeepers recently built the
sidewalk, and after it was laid an
nounced their identity, saying that
the gift was in recognition of the
splendid fight which the church made
on the saloons at a local option ell
ection some months ago.
The church people were indignant
and at first talked of returning the
money or of tearing up the sidewalk.
The later plan was voted down as
wasteful, and the former abandoned
because there was no apparent way
to make the saloonists take the mon

The Exaggerated Fear of Socialism
(Chicago -Herald.l

Chicago Record Herald.)
One of the suggestions in the How
to Give wisely" letters in the New
York Evening Post is a fund of S1O,-
100000 to combat socialism. The
writer would have a great central
institution established which should
send trained men to Europe to get
at the bottom of socialism and carry
on an educational campaign through
public lectures and contributions to
the press. He says: IF it is de-
s1rable to have great laboratories to
study the phenomena of bodily dis
ease OF the physique, surely it is i'm
portant in the highest degree to de-
vote one such institution to studying
what may be termed a disease of the
mind and soul"
This proposition, it will be seen. is
not one for dispassionate research to
arrive at the truth 1t is assumed that
the truth is known as smallpox is
known, and the duty of the profess
sors would be to discover preyenta-
tiyes and cure. The writer exhibits
an exaggerated fear, as if socialism
were terrible menace to the people
against which they were unable to
protect themselves, and his concep-
ton of the case is by no means un-
usual
But why should there be any such
alarm? Socialism will take its chance
like any other political problem. It's
advocates cannot force it upon others
or hypnotic them into accepting it.
It's growth in the long run will de-
pend entirely upon its merits. Ii
it is weak and impracticable it can
not possibly be established as a sys-
tenn. If there is anything in it of
value the good will not be condemned
because it may be associated with
the bad Socialism, in fact. will be
governed by the old laws of political
development, and there is the same
need to fight it with a S10,000,00O in
stitution that there is to fight other
theories of government concerning
which there are sharp differences of
