with the other team, boat, tent, etc.
A mile from town we struck into the
woods, taking a tote road, built years
ago by lumber company at cost of
$4,000. A tote road is very much
like railroad grade, has to be, for
over 1t is hauled the immense big
loads Of logs you have read about. 1t
Is nearly level, as hills, up or down
that is such hills as one goes over on
an ordinary wagon road would have
been impossible to use with sleds con-
tanning thousands Of pounds of green
lumber logs. Now when you come out
here, don't show your tenderfeet by
calling "a trail" tote" road. A

SIGNS OF NEW TIMES.

One of the signs of the new times Is
the new code of etchics adopted re-
Gently by the American Bar associa-
ton at it's meeting in Seattle. One OF
the chief features is that lawyers shall
not counsel clients or allow themselves
to transgress the moral law in fight
ing their legal battles. Contingent fees
when sanctioned by law shall be under
the supervision of the court. 1t is the
duty Of all lawyers to respect the
courts and to try to keep politics out
Of the selection of judges. Counsel for
persons accused of crime may act in
that capacity without regard to their
personal conviction as to the guilt of
the accused. Attempts to curry favor
with juries by fawning or fiattery are
'discredited. Lawyers may not represent
interests before legislatures unless
they do SO openly. Soliciting business
by circulars, etc, is unprofessional. No
case should be undertaken that con-
20 ls4 s44
tfiicts with the final obligation of the
lawyer to uphold the law of the land.
Whatever individuals may do as law
yers or as citizens, in the aggregate
the great mass Of Americans stand for
justice, THE square deal and personal
integrity. Always there is justification
for the optimistic view The people are
sincere in the desire for. the higher
standard. The trouble is that under the
Limitations of human life men find it
nard to die and leave reforms undone
that must take centuries to their evo-
luton. But we are, doing in decades to-
day what requireds centuries Of the
past.

iclers OF current fact and fiction.

play with long run or q Slug head"

ton to the extraordinary in usefulness
or its reverse. 1t is necessary to be
very good or very bad to achieve note
or notoriety A play verging on i'm
modesty and analyzing immortality
crowds the theater; a certain book
which has OF late sold beyond reason
and to vast profit is simply the bald
story of a shameless intrigue with a
murder at the end: also we strain our
eyes over the small print OF the ver-
batim reports Of the Thaw cases and
glance impatiently over the boiled
down story of a good deed done in
charity and christian kindness
All this has tendency to lead US to
forget that the world Is a decent place
full OF decent. honest and useful peo-
pie. We are prone to conclude that
all the rich are Harry Lehrs and Harry
Thaws. and that all wealth is preda-
cious because pirates sail the seas OF
finance 1t is a common and most
mendacious expression "yorfd do it II
you had the money and the opportun-
ity." 1t isn't true. The average per-
son is mighty good sort to have as
neighbor. The average man is hon.
est and helpful, and the average
woman a true wife and mother. Lets
get out Of the way Of considering
every man thief and every woman a
fool, until they prove themselves inno-
cent. This attitude makes dishonest
men and unfaithful women. Incident
ally it is prima facie evidence against
us who believe or profess TO believe in
the complete degeneration OF mankind
We need a healthy optimism, q
higher faith In each other The fools
the villains and the rogues are an in-
finistimal minority compared to the
great majority Of the splendid people

meled oppression of the popular Will.
There is no political right more impor-
tant, no issue more vital than repre-
sentation in law making bodies by men
in substantial accord with views and
principles and policies clearly favored
by a majority of the people.
Iowa is overwhelmingly republican.
1T is nowhere doubted that a large ma
iority of it's people are substantially
in accord with the purposes and poli-
cies and principles Of the republican
party. Who will say this majority
has not the right to be represented in
the senate Of the United States by re-
publicans? Who will deny that II
would be subversive of popular rights
and the intent Of popular government
to have Iowa misrepresented for six
years on the floor of that body In its
committee rooms and in the caucuses
of the democratic minority? Condi-
lions that made this contamination
seem possible have nothing to do with
a change of purpose or principle on
the part Of Iowa people in favor Of the

democratic party. They are wholly

defeat the wise ends of fair represen-

The extra session is by no means tor

cratic party from coming into It's own;
from securing the fair registration Of
sentiment that would give it additions
al strength in the councils Of the ne.
ton. On the contrary it is wholly for
the purpose Of saving to the people the
right to be represented in accordance

party preferences of preponderance

abuse of party power in assembling
the legislature. They Indignantly deny
the right of republicans to put the
people to expense merely to secure
party advantage.
