East TRAINS AND SAFETY.
q (Chicapo Record. Herald J

Chicago Record erald.)
There is timellness as well as value
in the declaration of Chief Warren 8.
Stone, Of the brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers, that "the United
States as nation has gone stark, raw
ing mad on the question Of speed"
The recent fatal railroad accidents
emphasize this charge and show the
peril that e.sts despite many ecellent
Improvements made by our leading
lines in the last few years. Not all
railroad accidents, of course, are due
to craze for speed, but.it Is evident
from the remarks Of Chief Stone that
the evil OF which he complains has in
direct as well as direct results mimi
cal to public safety. 1.-THE speed craze
requires young men who are willing to
take chances" he told his fellow en-
CHEERS "1f. they pull through on
schedule time, It is all right; II they
don't they must make room for the
men who will" Some Of the fastest
trains In the country are the freest
from accidents, but this is because,
being few and conspicuous, every pos
sible pfecaution Is thrown around
their operation. 1t is the fast running
of less carefully guarded trains to
which Chief Stones remarks apply
with greatest force. Recklessness ia
an American characteristic bred OF
pioneer conditions. But those condi-
tons no longer eist and the public
and railroad managers should be salts
fed with less speed If 1t means the
proper safeguarding of human lives.

ooRpoRArloN LAW PRAoTIcE.

UCharleston News and Courter.l
A corporation has no right to prac-
tlce law. The courts have repeatedly
SO decided, and in New York the leg
islature has iterated the decisions OF
the courts. Nevertheless, the growth
Of corporations practicing law has
been one of the features Of the last
decade. New York law firms; some Of
them, never die. They are simply cor
poratlons, owned by the heirs Of the
distinguished lawyers who formed
them, hiring lawyers. to do the work,
but collecting all fees. Some of these
corporations have Offices in different
cities all over the country and are en-
gagged in a positive effort, so 1t would
seem, to monopollze all law business.
The corporation that practices law
has no fear of disbarment. Its hired
men may be disbarred, but not it. 1t
is easy enough to get Others in their
places. In fact, in many ways the cor
poration practiclng law is a distinct
peril to the country, especially as law.
yers are officers Of the courts, and
much is dependent on their inherent
honesty. Notably corporation has
no soul. 1t may be mentioned that
the Brooklyn Bar Association cousid-
ers the situation SO dangerous that it
has decided to take action in the mat
ter which 1t will probably do, by In
sisting that lawyers working for such
corporations be disbarred and that the
officers of the corporations themselves
be punished.

Out of respect to Mr., Sickel, who
was vice-president of the organization,
the horse races scheduled for Satur-
day afternoon 1T the Sea Girt and
Spring Lake Country Club were abb
ruptly postponed, despite the fact
that many horses had been shipped
for participation in the races. There
was at first some dissatisfaction over
the postponement, but all went away
finally satisfied. Calvin Quinton, man
ager of the club, announced Saturday
that the races probably would be held
Just before or after the horse show,
which is scheduled for the first week
in August. This lengthy postponement
is taken in order not to conflict in any
way with the Long Branch dog n
horse shows.
