the Platte and Loup waters between
the cities Of Columbus and Fremont,
while the Kountze interests of Omaha
may tap the Platte at Fremont and
run its canal east to Omaha, turning
the water into the Missouri river.
The decree is expected to give an
immediate impetus to power canal
projects in this state, resulting in the
investment of several millions of dol
lars and producing electric current
capable of developing not less than
100000 horsepower. Manufacturing
industries in at least forty Nebraska
cities and towns will profit from the
projected canals.

The Professional Peace Makers

TT may seem strange to read a lawyers state
i ment that the first consideration of men,
bers of his profession is to make peace,
keep people out of court. There is a wide
spread belief that the legal fraternity is bent
upon stirring up as much litigation possible,
in order to make money.
When you think about it, comparing the
number of lawyers with the cases tried in
court, it is perfectly plain that about nine
tenths of them would starve to death if the
court calendars indicated all the legal business.
There is public record of court cases, and we
hear about them pretty often; but we seldom
hear about the cases. the infinitely larger
number of cases. that are settled out of court.
In the same way hear a lot about
divorces, and nothing at all about the happy
marriages.
THE GREAT COURT is the title given by
lawyer who has written remarkably inter-
esting article for next SUNDAY MAGAZINE.
an article that goes to prove that the Great
Court is not one of those established by law
and conducted with pomp and ceremony, but
is the Offices of the lawyers of the country. 1t
is an article that shows that noble profession
is returning to its former high Standards STAN
dards that have been carefully maintained even
through what might be called the Brazen Age
of the Law.
The trouble is that the law has been made
business, and there is distinct difference be-
tween business and profession. 1t is i1npos
sible to measure business success by any STAN
dard other than money. A business that can't
make money is a failure. A profession or
professional man doesn't have to make money
to win great success; although, in the long run,
his achievements or accomplishments may mean
lot of money. Think of the wealth added to
the world through the saving of lives by the
German doctor who discovered the antitoxin
for diphtheria!
More than any other profession the law has
suffered in reputation from the tricksters and
shysters who have used it to make money. 1t
has suffered from being commercialized. 1t is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-10-20

fine thing to have it brought to our attention
that there are great number of lawyers who
have maintained the high standard that gives
the lawyer dignity. who have sought to lessen
trouble and suffering instead of increasing it,
and have prospered because they have done
and better.
Everyone of US who has any acquaintance
among lawyers knows at least one of this kind.
and yet, when we think about lawyers, our
mind gravitates to the other kind as being
typical of the profession.
One of the comforting things in this article is
the frank statement that this lawyer. who has
the fine, old-school spirit believes that there is
going to be complete revolution in our court
system within the next ten years. If there is
any human activity in American life that needs
complete revolution, it is that same system.
THE LAW OF THE BEACH comes from
L that seemingly nexhaustible mine of good
stories that S. Ten Eyck Bourke and Charles
Francis Bourke discovered at Barnegat. This
law is summed up by Big Jem Casco, keeper of
Ships Bottom Life Saving Station, in these
words: "A mans life don't count against
folks, nor his feelin's neither" You can feel
the thrill in that when you visualize the
chances these life savers take against furious
sea on dangerous coast. And you
story without half trying; but this particular
tale is better than any you can invent. unless
you know the sea and the life savers.

Britain arose over this incident lit

ransackcd and burned, her cargo was
carried to the coast of South America,
thence later TO England. Some Of tho
personal effects taken from her officers
were returned To them years after the
close of the .Civil War.
And because the Shenandoah had
been equipped at Melbourne, British
possession, for her trip to Ascension

agreed, AZ the result of the Geneva
Arbitration, to pay the United States
