PROFESSIONAL ETHICS.

There is no complete and well-de
fined body of ethics of any profes
sion or class, but there are certain
generally accepted rules in every pro
fession that are universally recog
nized. 1t is said to be contrary tt
the ethics of the medical profession
for physicians to advertise further
than by the use of a simple prOfes
! sional card in newspaper. 1t is I'M
ethical for a doctor of the schools
to consult with person not author
lied by the schools to practice medi'
cine. 1t is contrary to medical eth
les for a physician to solicit pa
tents, particularly when they are un'
der the care Of another.
In the newspaper profession there
are many observances followed by
those who appreciate the dignity of
the profession and its obligations.
One is that a newspaper must never
be used, by those who control its col
umns, for personal ends. No per-
sonal enemy must ever be punished
and no personal friends unduly re-
warded through the columns Of a
newspaper by it's editor or through
him.
The legal profession has its ethics.
1t is not meant as a fling at res
pectable profession, to say that per-
haps no other occupation is more in
need Of a recognized body of eth
les than that Of the law. One Of the
ethical rules of the legal profession
is that lawyer must not make his
legal opponents, either principals or
counsel, his personal enemies. He
must bear no malice against OppOs-
ing counsel, but above all he should
not be personally envenomed against
the litigants on the other side. AL
ways, litigants should remember that
the lawyer opposed to them has moth
ing personal against them. 1t is
even possible that the opposing law
yer's personal feelings are more
friendly to the opposing litigants than
to his own client. 1t is his duty as
a conscientious lawyer to do all in
his power for his client, but this
does not justify him in INDUCING in
personal hatred and animosity, and
he must do nothing that will cause
the opposing litigant to feel that he
is being prosecuted instead Of pros
ecuted.
There is another welldefined rule
of legal ethics that distinguishes the
reputable lawyer from the shyster
and the jackleg. That is the rule
that the lawyer should try his cases,
civil and criminal, in the courtroom
and not on the street. There are
many reasons why the lawyer who
hopes to retain the respect of the
community in which he lives and
practices should observe this rule
at least to a decent degree. The law
yer who trots up one side Of the
street and down the other discuss
ing his cases, and discussing them in
a manner that betrays strong person.
al bias and rabid prejudice against
the opposing litigant, betrays ten
dency that units him to be an of
ficer OF a court of justice.
These few desultory remarks are
not as an admonition to doc
tors nor as curtain lecture to edi-
tors, but as a general comment on|
the ethics Of the professions in gen.
eral.-Crowley Signal.

DAVIS WILL TEST
 THEEXC|SE LAWS Reopened Place of Business and Was Arrested by
 Police

c. W. Davis, the wholesale liquor dealer. TOP First avenue whose license was revoked Monday by the excise com mission on an allegation that he was supplying blind tigers" with liquor. re- opened his place of business yester- day morning and was placed under bond by the police on a charge of do- ing business without license.
 It Is understood that Davis opened his place of business for the purpose of testing the authority of the excise com mission to revoke his license and that he intends to take the matter through all the courts. He was placed under bond to appear before the police court to answer to the above charge. It is probable that the case will go to the higher courts, both criminal and civil. in order to thoroughly test the case.
 The revokation of the license was made by the excise commission on the grounds that 1t was the second time that Davis had violated the laws re- lating to the sale of liquor to illegal dealers and that it was necessary to adopt this measure In order to root out the blind tiger evil.
 The cases will be tried before Judge Black of the recorders court, and the result will be watched with interest.

Dallas, Tex, July 9.-The so-called progressive" wing of the republican party in Texas will defer affiliation with the third party and will take no other decisive action until after the national convention of the "progres- sives' is held in Chicago in August. However. delegation of 100 win be named to attend the Chicago gathering and watch the progress of events.
 This was decided at a conference of progressive republican leaders held in Dallas today. The call for the caucus was issued by Col. Cecil Lyon. former national committeeman, and in behalf of the delegation of Roosevelt SUD- porters who lost in their contest for seats at the republican national conven- tion. An address to the people of Tex as was framed at today's meeting urg- ing that the progressive republicans endeavor to have control of the state convention to be held next month and asking that democrats of progressive ideas refrain from participation in party primaries that they may be free to fol- low the course mapped out at the Chi cago assembly.
 A committee of five was named to se- lect the delegation to attend the Chi cago convention.

MANY KILLED IN
 ENGLISH MINE
Miners Perish When They Attempt to Rescue Inn
 prisoned Fellows

Conisbrough. England. July 9.-The bodies of 69 victims of q series of ex- plosions in the Cadeby colliery this morning have been brought to the sur face It Is feared that a further search of the mine will increase the death roll to S0 Of the killed 30 were mine workers: the others were men who went into the pits to rescue those en tombed. These latter include three government inspectors, William Henry Pickering. chief inspector of mines, Yorkshire and North Midland district, among them, who was to have explained to King George and Queen Mary this afternoon the workings of another Yorkshire colliery.
 The King yesterday visited a co1liery adjacent to that in which the explosion occurred today.
 The presence of their majesties in the district greatly minimized the fatalities because the miners were celebratins and had taken holiday. Therefore instead of the usual 136, only 32 men were working in that part of the mine where the accident happened. Thirty of these were killed outright, and one, the manager of the pit. was brought up alive. but died tonight.
 The first explosion, which killed the miners, occurred early in the morning. It was followed by an expulsion about o'clock in the afternoon. which re- suited in the collapse of the roof. over whelming the entire rescuing brigade.
 The King and Queen visited the scene tonight and personally expressed their sympathy.
 Late tonight the death roll had swelled to 70. This included several of the in jured who died after being brought to the surface. 1t Is believed there are still several bodies in the workings.

.LOR|MER INVOLVED
 IN THINNING SUIT Allege Suit Was Brought Because of Testimony
 in Case

Chicago July s.-Mrs. Josephine Hen- ming testified before the grand jury to- day, it is said, that the suit for s25,000 brought by her husband, John C.. Hem ming, against Clarence s. Funk, general manager of the International Harvester company. for alleged alienation of her affections. was a conspiracy.
 She intimated, it is said, that the mo- tive was a strike at MT. Funk because of his testimony in the hearing of the case against United States Senator William Lorimer, before the Helm Investigating committee.
 Mrs. Hennng reached the criminal court building early in the day, and after a long conference with State Attorney Wayman was taken before the grand jury where she is said to have repeated her alleged confession. She was extremely nervous and weak and nearly collapsed before facing the jurors.
 "I never knew Clarence S. Funk Mrs. Henning is said to have told the grand jury.
 T never have seen him. The suit was a frame up I did not know it was proposed until my husband told me-"
 Mrs. Henning told of receiving sums of money at various times for her part in the suit. The money, she said, was paid her either by an attorney or q woman who was said to represent him. She told of joining her husband at Mo- bile. Ala, shortly after it was decided the suit was to be started. Later she visited New York, Atlantic City and number of health resorts.
 MT. Funk and several other witnesses were questioned by the grand jury during the day. The investigation will be re- stunned tomorrow.

MUCH INTEREST IN
 JOINT CONFERENCE

There is a general impression abroad to the joint conference of the excise con- missioners and the liquor dealers which will be held tomorrow at noon in the city hall. The commissioners extended the in- vitation and it goes without saying that a full quota of the saloon men will be present.
 It was rumored about the city hall yes- court would be asked to meet with the excise commissioners. Their presence will be in order to outline some method of procedure whereby convictions may be had in the criminal court upon evi- dence presented by special agents against alleged blind tigers.
 It is believed that there is being mapped out some drastic method to wipe out the blind tigers. The excise commissioners have sworn duty to perform in the mat ter. The saloon men are anxious to wipe them out because of the financial risks being run when the saloon men are com- peting with the tiger operators.
