NO JUSTICE IN 1T.

We thought so. 1t was inevitable
Only it came sooner than we expected
There is no justice or right in fning
a corporation a million dollars and
giving almost half of It to a lawyer
for bringing the prosecution. Such
fees simply encourage designing and
grasping politicians to manufacture
evidence, If need be, to gain a verdict
1t suggests the possibility of securing
a victory on techincality where the
spirit and purpose of the law is being
lived up to. For this reason we rails
ed a protest little while ago to Coun-
ty Attorney Brady of Texas receiving
100000 of the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany. fine. Why should he have it? It
was his duty to prosecute. He is paid
for doing his duty. For him to take
100000 for doing his duty is just as
bad as for the Waters-Pierce Oil COM
pany to be secretary of a branch of
the Standard Oil company. Now comes
a Texas lawyer with a suit to prevent
the collection of $400 600 by Brady. If
the oil company committed crime it
was not against Attorney Brady. but
against the state of Texas. Brady
should not receive the benefit of the
fine. but the people of Texas should
