There is no higher calling among
the professions or other activities in
secular life than that of the law, and
nowhere, unless it be that of the doc
tor, is therc-ttch an obligation due
the public for uprightness and honor
able dealing than that of the lawyer.
The lawyer has responsible place in
the walks of life and it is one of the
duties of the lawyer to see that laws
are enforced and not help find loop
holes to aid in the violation of the
law. Speaking to the alumni of Har-
ward University, President Roosevelt
described the lawyer who is a menace
10 the public welfare thus:
Nov, the great lawyer who en-
ploys his talents and his learning in
the highly remunerative task of en-
abling very wealthy client to over
ride or circumvent the law is. doing
all that in him lies to encourage the
growth in this country of a spirit of
dumb anger against all laws and OF
disbelief in their efficacy
The great lawyer may be worth
much to the world but the unscrupu-
lous lawyer can do much harm.-Wills
Point Chronicle.

The way the newspapers of Texas
the leading ones-are talking educa
ton and schools tickles our fancy
clean down to the hollow" This is
a Highlander handed out by the Gal
weston Tribune: When the matter of
technical education takes hold upon
the minds of those who are prominent
in the affairs of our commonwealth
we may expect to see things move,
and those who have earnestly hoped
and labored for movement having
for its goal the establishment of tech
nical adjuncts to our public free
school system may begin to take
heart, for the idea is growing and
must shortly bear fruit. Too long
have we been willing followers of es-
tablished usage. Believing that the
older states, with more experience in
such matters, were safe examples for
them to dictate our educational sys,
! TEN, although our conditions were
not at all similar to those prevailing
among them, and it is only of late
| that we have awakened TO the fact
| that among our own people are to be
found those who have knowledge of
our own peculiar needs and who pos
sess ample ability to impart that
knowledge to the coming generation. .

Chickens and turkeys are no mean
items in the general list of Texas
shipments to outside territory The
business has grown steadily for the
past several years and some sort of
a reliable estimate of the tons of tur-
keys and chickens moved to markets
in the east and north would be of
economic interest to thoughtful folks.
Down Flatonia way turkey shipments
alone will average 500 per day for
every day in the year. That amount
of cash distributed in any commu-
nifty is bound to make itself felt in
various ways that make for more COM
Portable living. At Yoakum one days
run amounted to LOO head, which dis
tributed $4,000 among the farm
ers of that vicinity No barn yard is
prosperous without turkeys, chickens
and the 7-cent hog. Let Texas grow.

Many representatives are very much
disturbed as to what course to pursue
in voting on submission. Many are
stumbling as to whether to vote as
the state directed, or vote with their
immediate district Inasmuch as it is
state issue, voted on by the state at
large, it would seem to the Herald
that a member of the legislature is
bound by the vote of the state, re-

say This does not impress us as a
