PERSONAL NOTES.

No other occupant OF the presidential
office had ever Travelled so extensively be-
fore his election as Mr.. Taft, with several
trips around the world to his credit. And
his Journeyings since the 4th of March are

Chief Spencer, a Klickitat Indian, died
at the age OF ITO years at Fort Simcoe,
Wash, last week. The old chief knew the
northwest long before the white invasion,
and had often described the first white
party which arrived at the Dalles, a weary
and b~edraggled lot he said they were. In
1856 he was a scout for Colonel Wright, and
throughout the wars in his country he was
friendly to those who usurped his domain,

was impressed with the way the Omahans
have OF booming their city. A society is
organized there which forbbds its members

Sheep Men and Forestry.

That 1t is sometimes as easy for peo-
pie to reach an agreement as to re-
main apart, is again being demon
strated by the sheepmen and the for
est reserve service. In the inception
the forestry service, its officials and
the sheepmen were bitterly arraigning
each other and conducting a long
range warfare. The sheepman re-
belled at being deprived of the old
privilege of ranging his flocks wher-
ever he willed and the forestry folks
insisted that the sheepmen cared moth
ing for the future so long as present
selfishness was gratified. 1t finally
dawned upon the two parties to the
acrimonious controversy to get to-
gether and see II they really we're so
a~ntagonistic. The surprising result
has been that last ear there was less
friction than previously and confer
ences being held this spring give
promise of still closer cooperation.
The whole country has a vital on
Germ in the preservation of the forests
now standing on the watersheds and
in the reforestration of the sections
which have been denuded. The public
interest is larger than those of the few
people who live in the immediate
vicinity of the forest reserves. There
ought to be some way, however, to
provide for the sheep and cattle men
without undue hardship. So long as
each was suspicious of the other and
the ~foresters and grazers failed to seek
a solution there was no way at arriv-
ing at an understanding over a ques-
ton which has raised such a turmoil
in the west. The sheep industry is of
great Importance to the country as
we'll as to those who have invested
their money in 1t and it should be en-
couraged and not needlessly hampered.

COACHING OF WITNESSES.
How Professional Ethics Undergo n
Surgical Operation.
rookIyn Eagle


Really this business of coaching wit
nesses to swear to a highly imaginary set
Of circumstances, calculated to bring in a
verdict for good round damages against
the city or a traction company, is likely
to become questionable. The prevailing
idea has beer. that when a man went to
law he hired d lawyer to win. and that
II he was wise he asked no questions about
the lawyers methods. That idea has been
held with special force in that large class
Of case which the lawyers take on specula-
ton. their pay depending on their winning
Of cases which the lawyers take on
speculation. their pay depending on
their winning a verdict. That prac-
tice, of course, is dead against the
old-fashioned ethics of the profession.
but the old-fashioned ethics of law are as
much out now as old-fashioned gowns were
last fall when sheath skirts came in. There
is an indication, however, of an effort on
the part of the courts to restore the more
modest fashions of a period when lawyers
did not wear their pockets on the outside
Of their coats, with fish hook barbs set
inside to make sure that anything which
ever got In should not get out again.

BritaIn's Rneing BsttIeships.

If we are going to keep i'll the race Of
building big battleshlps. and lots of them,
their speed is just as important as their
other qualifications. We trust that the at
tention OF our Navy department is not so
completely occupied with denying the valid
ity Of criticisms hat it cannot also take
notice Of the announcement that the Brit
ish Invncible made twenty-eight knots an
hour from Queens Ferry TO Portsmouth,
the speed rising a part of the time to
nearly twenty-nine knots. This vessel Is
no scout cruiser. no ship built for speed
only without armoF or much armament,
but a 'battleship- eruiser' With ample de-
fensive armor and heavy guns. And It has
a speed which has been attempted In our

Judgment in tackling that road. 1t is fool

1t is of general interest to Automobiles
and the public alike that the responsible
driver Of a car has been convicted OF man
slaughter in the first degree by a New
York jury. Many people have been killed
in the streets Of that city by automobiles,
and so far this year it is said that more
than a dozen children have lost their lives
in this way; but the trial of William OAR
ragh Is the first Of an automobile operator
on a criminal charge in connection with
the death of a victim of his machine. The
Indictment against him was found under
an amended section of the New York Grim
lnal code, which reads:
The killing Of a human being by an act
imminenty dangerous to others and evinc-
ing a depraved mind, regardless of human
life, although without a premeditated de-
sign, is punishable by a verdict of murder
In the first degree.
That is to say, a verdict of murder in the
first degree might have been found against
the culprit, and one of the jurors at first
voted for such a verdict; and it is worthy
Of notice that no juror favored a less Sc
we're verdict than manslaughter in the first
degree, which carries a maximum prison
penalty of twenty years.
Darragh was in charge of a sixty-horsc-
power machine belonging to someone else,
and was giving it a speed test up the
grade of M~orningside avenue one evening
last March when he ran into a boy named
.Trimble. If the machine was going as fast
as testified to by Witnesses the boy must
have been killed by the impact; but 1t APP
peared in evidence that the body was car
ried along in front of the car for some dis
lance before falling underneath and that
possibly its life might have been saved had
the machine been promptly stopped. There
fore presumption of generalization, or in
tent to do murder, was raised by the fact
that the machine kept right on to avoid
