Rare Remau Coins.

Coins buried for 1900 years came to
light at Dompierre, France, when a
farmer was leveling his yard. These
date from the Gallo Roman period and
number about $500. OF these some
2,OO0 are silver and the rest bronze.
They had been buried in ap earthen-
ware vessel placed In stone built hid
Ing place. As to the silver coins. these
are In a very good state Of preserva-
don and are fine specimens, but the
bronze coins suffered much from the
air. A number Of rare pieces were
found In the collection coming from
the reigns Of some obscure Roman en-
perors Of the late period. The Oldest
coins date from the Emperor TraJau
63 to 1T A. d. and the most recent
from Diocletian. It Is thought that the
coins were buried about 316 A. D.

The Lawyer on Trial.
Tacoma Tribune.

Tacoma Tribune.
1t is evident from the multiplicity
of editorial statements and para
graph quips published in the newspa-
pers oil over this country. that the
public has at last put the lawyer on
trial. OF the many editorials relating
to the lawyer most OF them abound in
bitter sarcasm, denrnciation and &C.
cusation. Rarely good word ap-
pears, except occasionally an editor
assures the world that there are real
ly honest members uf the bar. And
after reading long list OF refractory
arguments and statements such an
assurance is comforting.
Even 100 Tacoma lawyers who got
together recently at banquet coun.
seled with each other as to the best
way to remedy the distressing suspi-
cion with which they are being held
by the world ut large. They admit
ted, us they could not well help doing
that very serious distrust exists, and
they advised one another as to how
to raise the standard of the law.
This is all very we'll aud is com,
mendable. But actions speak louder
than words. Let an effort be made
by representative organizations Of
the lawyers towards increasing the
standard of efficiency.
A corporation-paid attorney may
sit back in his upholstered chair and,
after reading the foregoing interpose
q motion to make more definite and
certain" to the indictment, just az he
would if he were charged with grand
larceny in regular court. He will
also file several other delaying mo-
tions to prevent the matter being set
tied for good and all. He would pro.
ceed with just such tactics as have
got lawyer and the courts into
the disrepute that they have fallen.
The technicalities and delays of the
law are, however. just one OF the
many complaints the public has to
lodge against the legal profession.
The ethics of the law is another
reason for d dissatisfaction on the part
of the public. The extent an individ-
ual admitted to bar may 60 in divers
ways forbidden the private citizen;
and the latitude allowed before the
line of professional ethics is crossed
to the unprofessional; the pleas and
artifices used in the trial Of cases in
court, which appeal to the ignorant
and w.minded to win cases, are all
extremely deplorable.
Clarence Darrow's conduct of the
Mcnamara trial is said to have been
strictly professional. The bar assO-
Citations throughout the country are
upholding him. Even Dean Condin.
in charge of the law school of the
University of Washington, a man
supposed to be the highest represent
ative of clean legal ethics, upholds
Darrow. And he grows angry and
insulted the moment anyone utters a
protest at the campaign of deceit
waged by Darrow. Clarence Barrow
defended men he knew TO be guilty.
This is not to be condemned. but he
lied to the world and encouraged the
laboring men to raise an immense
fund for the defense of the McNa.
maras. He made the cause OF labor
the same cause as the guilty dyna
miters. And in doing this he &C

The splash guards are suspended from

THE MOON" DANCE.


Parents Shosld Discosrats This Terpsich-
ersan Innovation.
Ministers and others who have the
welfare OF the young at heart, are
condemning the moon" or " dark
dance, which is included on the pro-
gram of many dances held nowadays.
The Williamsport Sun, in the follow
ing words, also justly criticises the
innovation:
The pronounced parental and other
sentiment aroused against the in
diligence by social clubs in what is
termed the moon" dance should
quickly point out to managers Of dane
ing places and to those who arrange
dance programs the desirability of
extirpating this more or less question
able feature of an evenings terpsich-
orean events. To incorporate q fea-
ture in the pastime OF dancing that
is in any measure Objectionable is so
completely inexcusable as to make
those responsible therefor contribu-
tors to an insidious form of vice,
hence if the moon dance is capa-
BILE of promoting the things that is
charged against it it should be thor
oughly and effectively done away
with: That it has already met with
the discriminating disapproval of
those having the High school social
functions in charge, shows o most
commendable surveillance. The very
widest application of the same au-
thority and discretion should be in
sisted upon through the community.
