1T is the right of the lawyer
to undertake the defense of a
person accused of crime. regard
less of his personal opinion as to
the guilt of the accused; other
wise innocent persons, victims
only of suspicious circumstances,
might be denied proper defense.
Having undertaken such defense
the lawyer is bound by all fair
and honorable means to present
every defense that the law of
the land permits, to the end that
no person may be deprived of
life and liberty but by due pro-
cess of law.
The primary duty of a lawyer
engaged in public prosecution is
not to convict, but to see that
justice is done. The suppression
of facts or the securing of wit
nesses capable of establishing
the innocence of the accused is
highly reprehensible.
Money of the client or other
trust property coming into the
possession of the lawyer should
be reported promptly, and, ex-
cept with the clients knowledge
and consent, should not be COM
mingled with the lawyers prop
erty or be used by him.
In fixing fees lawyers should
avoid charges which over esti-
mate their advice and services,
as we'll as those who undervalue
them. A clients ability to pay
cannot justify charge in excess
Of the real value of the services,
though his poverty may require
a less charge, or even none at
all. The reasonable requests of
brother lawyers and of their
widows and orphans without am
pie means should receive special
and kindly consideration.
Nothing operates more GER
tainly to create or to foster pop
ular prejudice against lawyers as
a class and to deprive the profess
sion of that full measure of pub
lie esteem and confidence which
belongs to the proper discharge
of its duties than does the false
claim, often set up by the I'M
scrupulous in defence of ques-
tionable transactions, that it is
the duty of the lawyer to do
whatever may enable him to sue
coed in winning his clients
cause"

You see, she has a habit of
hosting the window in our room
every night. AS I usually go to

the night and asks me to see if
it's open. If | don't, she nags at
me until morning.
A night or two ago | resolved
to give her a hard scare. | roll

Of course she was asleep and

said. He's tumbled out of the
window in his raggedest night

BENCH AND BAR

George B. Wickersham, attor-
ney general of the United States,
who as one of the attorneys in
the litigation between the city of
Chicago and the Chicago Trac-
ton Company was paid a fee OF
5000, 600, and did not receive as
much, relatively, as Elihu Root,
who topped every fee ever paid
to any lawyer in the world con-
sidered from the view of service
performed.
Judge A. Dill, now judge of
the Court of Errors and Appeals
in New Jersey, was paid one
million dollars for patching up
the bitter differences between
Andrew Carnegie and Henry G.
Prick. This took months of la
Dor and the employment of many
assistants in the search for rec
ords which were necessary IN
bringing about the reconcllla-
ton. It is, so far as the amount
is concerned, the highest fee
paid to a lawyer in the history OF
American jurisprudence. Will
liam D. Guthrie was paid $780,
600 for breaking the will OF
Henry B. Plant, which involved
many months of labor and fire.

Mrs. Sage, kindly, generous and

settled quickly and by authority.
II want you to see Mr.. Elihu
Root" she said to her adviser,
and say to him that | will con-
slider it distinct favor if he will
pass upon this question and give
to me his decision. /"
Communication was opened up
at once with the then Secretary
of War. A special messenger
called upon him. He was too
much engrossed with his official
duties to give the request atten-
ton.

said he, that it will be impossi-
BILE for me to act. | am not prac-
ing law now.
But it is not a question of fee,
Mr.. Root" said the intermedi-
airy. Mrs. Sage insists that
you and you only, shall advise in
in this matter. y
Il repeat" replied the War
Secretary, that I do not wish
to be retained, and you may say
that nothing further need be sug-
gested. My fee would be pro-
hibitive and I want it to be so
regarded.
"And that fee would be-"
"Well. say $3.50, 000," was the
reply in a tone intended to cut
off further discussion.
That same day telegraphic COM
munication with Mrs. Sage was
opened. PAY it," she said.
Mr.. Root was astounded when
informed that his ''prohibitive"
fee was regarded as settled.
He accomplished what he had to
do in less than forty-eight hours,
without appearing in court and
without additional aid, and Mrs.
Sage was very we'll satisfied.

Thoughts BY the Wayside

Shutting the Door after the
horse is gone will not be the pre-
dicament which New Workers
find themselves in, if the vigor-
orous protests against sending
male foundlings out of the city,
has the proper effect. Two
thirds of the applications for
foundlings for adoption which
come from neighboring towns are
for boy babies. Every male
baby is prospective voter and
taxpayers and whereas it does
not now seem to matter, the con-
tinued practice of removing male
orphans from one city, even
though that city be as large as
New York, will in time, have a
telling effect.

Ravages of tuberculosis will
doubtless receive quite a check if
the plans for outdoor schools now
being tested in Boston becomes
general. This outdoor school is
composed of tuberculur children
only. The basement and roof of
a large building were secured
and every day these children
study and play in the open air
regardless of the weather.
The basement of the building
has been used for the prepara-
ton of three warm, wholesome
meals each day, which figure as
a factor in the fight against tub
erculosis.
Cleanliness is taught as a pre-
cept and enforced as rule at
the outdoor school and the chill
dren are urged to keep their
windows open when home at
night.
In the winter months each
child is provided with a heavy
ulster, while the girls wear
heavy hoods and the boys warm
skull caps. During their Ion
hours on the roof the little ones
crawl into warm cloth bags
which they hook around their
waists.
There is little question that
the outdoor school will be voted
a success. At present there are
said to be- number of private
open air schools in the country
for the afflicted children of the
well-to-do, but none of public
maintenance for those of the
poor, where the need is greater
on account of more crowded and
less sanitary living quarters.

ADVISES YOUNG MOTHERS

Of many bitter tears and heantaches. >
Thus spoke Mother Bender Of the Com
mercial restaurant to Post man last
Saturday morning.
Mother Bender, who is known from
coast to coast, was aroused to high
state of Indignation at a story that
came to her notice. Continuing, Mrs.
Bender said:
81 once heard of a mother that gave
her little boy a gun for a Christmas
present. Her child was the very ideal
when it came to behavior up to that
time, but it seemed that with the
bringing of that toy gun into the
home, the disposition of the child was
changed, and instead of tie meek, sub
missive little fellow in kits, he be
came imbued with the idea that he
must kill those that in any way wrong
ed him. He often had differences with
his little playmates, as all children of
three or four years do, but nothing
serious ever came of them. Finally he
and n ncighbor boy had a fight and
the neighbor bested him and tore his
clothing. / tell you the Irish in him
came up to the boiling point. He knew
he was whipped, and that he had no
show against the other boy. He turn
ed after tho fight, and went into the
house and said to his mother: "I
want my gun" All the time no was
stamping his little foot upon the foo-
The mother inquired what he wanted
with the gun, and was told, al want
to kill that boy; he tore my dress. I
want to shoot him. He was mad
and not in fit humor to restrain with
out strenuous means, but after n time
he cooled down and forgot his trouble.
But suppose that boy should in later
years seek to right a wrong with a
gun. That mother would never forgive
herself for bringing that toy gun into
the house. I tell you the young moth
ers of today should be careful and give
their children only those things which
will tend to improve them and not
put killing into their li.tle brains"
