 THE FAIR-Secretary Kirk of the territorial fair commission is busy with his correspondence arranging
 prelhminaries for attractions for the
 next fair. As as been announced, the
 big drawing card will be a flying ma
 chine, the best in the world that can
 be secured. The commission is now
 negotiating with Roy Knabenshue and
 also with Captain Ivy Baldwin, who
 made hit with his airship. the Cali
 fornia Arrow, last year. No definite
 agreement has been made yet with
 either, but it is likely that terms will
 be made with one or the other that will be satisfactory. The hardest
 thing to settle apparently is the for
 mality of the exhibitions after the air ship has arrived. 1t goes without say
 ing that the commission should be represented each day, especially the first day, just to show the aeronaut that it appreciates his presence and also to demonstrate to the public that aerial navigation is now perfectly safe. Naturally President J. C. Adams would be the man to make the first ascension, and he is keen to do so, but he says he knows he is going to be busy with his horses that day and won't have time. Mir.

Some Real Joys of Vacation Days.
successors to

"The man who has been awakened each day to the insolent ringing of an alarm clock, who has hastily washed himself, bolted a breakfast and then made mad dash to reach his desk by eight-thirty," says John T. Me Cutcheon in Appleton's for July. He is the man who knows the real mean ing of a summer vacation. It is UtO- pia, where there are no alarm clocks, where one may get up when he pleas es and issue a def to the boss every day during the entire period of his outing. In his minds eye, vacation means summer skies and rest and play and freedom from care.
 "The things that would be work if he had to do them become pleasant outing experiences. He wears his old clothes, goes unshaven, sits for hours in the blistering sun, is devOured by mosquitoes, gets up at dawn because fishing is good in the early morning. eats a cold lunch and thinks he is having a lovely time. He will sleep on hard bed in a broiling room next to the roof and enjoy it beyond words. If he had to do any of these things he would declare a strike. But not be- ing compelled by some tyrannical boss, he enjoys it thoroughly. At the end of two weeks he will be tired out, and will drag himself back to work. rather glad to get settled down to the regularity of daily work, but not will ing to admit to a soul on earth that he has not had a cOrking time For weeks he will tell his friends down at the Store, or the factory. all the won derful things that he did up at the lake It's the change that makes the vacation time so delightful in memories and so beneficial in health"

 OKLAHOMA VISITORS-H R. Patrick enjoyed a very pleasant visit on Monday from Willis O. Robinson and a Mr. Spinney of Oklahoma City. The gentlemen were en route to Cali fornia on business. MT. Robinson was a schoolmate of MT. Patrick many years ago and knowing the latter was in this country, though they had not met for 35 years, he made the side trip to Phoenix to look him up bring ing his friend along with him. Both gentlemen were greatly enthused by what they saw of the valley and it's opportunities for business When Messrs. Robinson and Patrick last saw each other 35 years ago the former wore a heavy black beard. He is now clean shaven and MT. Patrick says he looks younger than he did then.

4 e DECISION.

The United States circuit court of
appeals, sitting at st. Louis, has rem
dered a decision that is going to direct
renewed attention to the federal laws
requiring the adoption by railroads of
safety appliances and to the deter
mined efforts that have been made by
some railroads to evRde the enforce
mont Of the laws. In this al Delk, a
railroad brakeman, brought suit
against the Frisco" line for injuries
received while attempting to operate
a defective automatic coupler. He got
a verdict OF $4,000 in the lower court.
The railroad company, clearly
within its rights, appealed the case,
making the strange defense that while
the law requires the adoption and use
of automatic couplers on trains en-
gagged in interstate commerce. there
is no provision In the Law requiring
the railroad companies to keep the
~couplers in repair, and no penalty fol
their failure 70 do so. The circuit
court of appeals sustained the strange
contention OF the railroad company
and reversed the verdict of the lower
court.
While the court may have KEEP

In making its finding. the decision
must be set down as another contri

charges growing out of the Dodge-Morse
divorce scandal, It is high time that the
Bar association of that Jurisdiction start

that need not await the verdict Of a jury.
what kind OF lawyers are these that
bleed men in this manner? 1t does not
matter how despicable their victim may be.
What kind Of lawyers are they who rem
dered such outrageous bills to Harry Thaw,
some Of whom are even yet trying to wiring
big money from him2 At the national
convention OF the lawyers every year there
is much discussion Of professional ethics,
and recently a new code, fathered by a dis
tinguished member OF the New York bar,
was submitted to the consideration of the
fraternity generally. Yet right on the heels
OF that act we have had the disgraceful
spectacle OF the Hams case being tried
through the newspapers by certain lawyers
in the most unprOfessionaI way possible,
without respect for good form. decency or
justice. Surely there Is no need to go far
back or dig deep to secure ample grounds
for a general inquiry by the bar OF the
metropolis into the state and methods Of q
profession which. for peculiar reasons,
should keep its skirts clear, Its hands clean
and the law above reproach.

back OF every crime which rises above the
ordinary in daring and malevolence. there
lie a lawyers cunning; that underlying
every bit OF u~nvengeable rascality which
now and then startles the community there
Is a lawyers craftiness, and that certain
forms OF defiance OF statute, authority and
common decency cannot be reached by the
machinery of justice because a lawyer has
lent. his discernment and acumen to accom-
plish a palpable wrong. Let the New York
bar bestir itself and set a long-delayed ex-
ample to the rest OF the country by driving
out the harpies. adventurers and black
maiiers.
