know that steps have been taken for the disbar-
ment of the accused attorney, and that the issue is not TO be passed
over as a barren scandal.
The bar owes a serious duty to the public in regard to the
honor OF its members. The profession is endowed with high privi-
leges. but it is charged with responsibilities correspondingly high.
A dishonest lawyer is not merely a disgrace to his brotherhood, he is
a menace to the community. lie is an offender that has it in his
power to divert and to pervert justice in it's very temple.
The Bar Association has been lax in supervising the conduct
Of its members. The bar has not purified itself of scandals that
have been open and notorious. The bare promise of a reform in that
respect is cheering. If the proceedings now undertaken be carried
through with no other thought than that of justice and the honor
Of the bar, the result will be wholesome to the whole country.

THREE MEN ARE
MUCH ALIVE
Each One Was Thought to Be

ARE ANYTHING BUT DEAD
Thrice Coroner at Fort Worth Has
to Admit That the Verdict Made
by Him Did Not Coincide With
the Facts.

Three men, each officially pronounced
dead by Fort Worth coroner, have
appeared tn person to contradict their
own death certificates and to console
their mourning relatives.
The semi-humorous tragic situation
arose over the finding of mans re-
mains on the Arlington Heights bou-
levard. The man had ended his life
by drinking carbolic acid.
Friends identified the body as that
of "Grandpa" Reeves, but Reeves
appeared at the undertaker's and in.
sisted he was alive. It was disputed
by no one.
Relatives declared the suicide was
Joe Hargrove, a wood hauler declar-
ing they could not be mistaken. But
Hargrove, like Reeves, called at the
undertaker's and proved an alibi.
The dead man was then pronounced
Peter Cornell, but Mr.. Connell went
10 the place the corpse was and DEM
onstrated he was alive and enjoying
excellent health.

BOY NOT AT THE FUNERAL
Sensational Incident In the Dali

Cecil Fullerton, white boy, who
was charged with interfering with pri-

ton court of Dallas. He was asked
by Judge O'Donnell if he knew that
his father was dead.
"My mother told me he was, was
the answer I wasn't at the funeral. !"

employe of the Texas Bitulithic COM
pany Cecil was fumbling around the
tool box of the street gang. An Off
Ger testified to the same effect.

get drink of water when brickbat

COOD ADVICE. BUT

The whiskey people of shreve-
port are charging that they would
not have been defeated this time
had not the .blind tiger men join
cd forces with the prohibitionists.
At first glance it looks like a para
dox. but, at second glance, it looks
as II there might be some reason in
it. Now the only way for the sa-
loonists to get even, and, incident
ally; to serve the city, is to join for
ces with the prohibitionists and put
the blind tigers out of business

This is good advice, but it may be
remarked that the very moment
there has been an attempt at hcens-

joints. there has been raised howls
Of protest by some Of the men who

To license and regulate the saloon.
It is the supreme Of nonsense to say
that the Pros were aided by the

AFTER EXPRESS PEOPLE.
Congressman Burleson Has In
troduced a Resolution.

Representative Burleson has intro
duced in the house resolution call
ing for an investigation of the express
companies. He believes rates are too
high and that the government and the
people are being imposed upon by the
companies and railroads, which, he
declares, are closely linked.
His resolution provides that the
secretary of commerce and labor,
through the bureau of corporations,
be directed to investigate cases of ex-
cessiVe transportation rates by the
express companies, to ascertain their
capital stock, the ownership thereof
and the market value of their bonds
and the actual valueof ply steal prop
critics of said companies. He also de-
sires to secure the assessed value of
the property of the express compan-
les in cities, counties and states and
to secure the names of officers.
He also desires to ascertain the re-
lationship of these companies with
railways or other transportation COM
panies and the extent to which their
stocks and bonds are owned or con-
trolled by railroads.
He also wants to know what con-
tracts with the government exist and
what extent of competition there ex-
lists with the postofice department.
He desires to know what rates are
made to magazines and newspapers
and the details of service rendered
and whether any agreementcxists that
operates as restraint on commerce.
