URGES LAWYERS TO
KILL FREAK LAWS
HUMPHREY SO DECLARES IN HIS
SPEECH BEFORE THE STATE
- - CONVENTION.
MEETING OPENS IN LANSING
President Of the Michigan Bar Asso-
citation Deplores Dishonesty
Among Lawyers In Dealing
With Their Clients.

Lansing.-Watts 8. Humphrey OF
Saginaw, president OF the Michigan
State Bar association, in his address
at the annual convention which opened
in the senate chamber, declared that 1t
was time for the lawyers of Michigan
to exert their influence to stem the
tide Of freak legislation which he
claims is now SO prevalent. and
through which he says relief is at
tempted and expected for all the ills
to which the human race is exposed
Particularly did he endeavor to
impress upon the older members Of
the state association the necessity
for guiding their younger and less
experienced brothers in the right
paths. I'VE should inculcate into
the minds OF less successful and
younger members OF the. profession
a standard OF conduct and code of
ethics that will start them on the
highway Of success, and in years to
come make the name Lawyer" stand
for the highest type of citizenship
rather than that the name should be
questionable methods and so-called
sharp practice"
President Humphrey declared that
repeated failures and discourage
ments often tempted young attorneys
to depart from the straight and mar
row path and participate in question
able transactions. At such a time,
he declared. it was the duty OF those
who had attained success in the pro-
fession to render substantial aid to
the tempted young man and keep him
on the right track. He said he de-
plores dishonesty among lawyers, in
dealing with their clients, and de-
clated proper proceedings should be
taken for disbarment in these cases
when the facts warranted.
by reason of his experience in at
tempting to secure for his client his
just rights under the law, and in
various transactions which come un
der his notice, the lawyer obtains
that learning with respect to the eff
cheney of the present laws and
changes needed. If any, which partic-
ularly fits him to lead in the bringing
about of wise and proper legislation
affecting the administration of JUS
tice,' said Mr. Humphreys.
The lawyer is not apt to be
swayed off his feet by popular clamor,
and in times of hysteria, like the
present. he should impose ii as
duty upon himself TO counsel against
the passage of laws that do violence
to our form Of government, or that
would be in violation of the consti-
tuition
The demagogue, and spreadGr OF
class hatred. is an enemy to the prin-
ciples of liberty by law. and it is the
duty Of every good citizen. and espe-
cially, Of the lawyer. to assist in the
education Of the people. and in ex,
posing the selfish and sinister motives
lurking behind the mask of self-styled
reform and champion of the peoples
rights
One disciple of reform and read
justment is said to have reached the
limit by declaring that What is right
is constitutional thus giving each
man law unto himself circumscribed
and controlled only by his own de

Prison Farms viii Be Self. Sustaining.

Prison Farms Will be ScN-oustdinin9.
AS a result OF the establishment of
the big farm at Jackson prison, Ed
ward Frensdorf OF Hudson, one of the
members OF the board of control who
was in Lansing on business, says in
course Of few years the big penal
institution at Jackson will be almost
self.sustaining, and he points out that
the influence on the prisoners is of in
estimable value.
According to Mr.. Frensdorf. there
are about 80 men. all of whom are
TRUSTEES" employed on the farm Of
LAO acres. This is about nine per
cent. of the total population of the
prison. Mr.. Frensdorf says nearly
every "trusty' in the prison would like
to obtain place on the farm crew.
but it Is impossible to utilize all who
would be agriculturists on LAO acres
of land. ~
At present the convict farmers are
gathering In their crops, and it Is
necessary for them to work beyond
their regular hours. The men are not
opposed to this, as II gives them an
opportunity to make extra money In
overtime wages. There are about rs
cows in the prison herd. and the men
inside the walls get their portion
OF fresh milk and buttermilk every
day.
From the standpoint of modern pen
ology Mr.. Frensdorf believes that the
prison farm is one of the best factors
in reforming some of the men de-
prived Of their liberty by the state.
AS he points out, it was only few
years ago that the idea Of allowing
a convict to work outside the walls
was almost unheard Of, but Frensdorf
says that other states are trying it
with equal success. The cost OF main
tenance Is small compared to the saw
ing to the state. At the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, 1t is believed,
every prison in the state will be
given appropriations to increase the
acreage of their farms.

FOREST LAND IN RESERVE.
Area Embracing About Three-Quar
ter Million Acres APPRAISED.

Forest lands to the amount of nearly
three-quarters of a million acres were
appraised by the forest service and
recommended for inclusion in the APP
palac..ian forest reserve up to the close
of the fiscal year 1913. The Weeks law,
under which the purchases are made, APP
propriates $o.OcO,OOO annually for the pur-
chases up to 1915. 1t is estimated that
by that time the forest service will have
inspected and recommended 1,25OO0O
acres.
The average price paid SO far has been
$J.O7 per acre. Some Of the land ac-
CURED has been in the White Mountains
Of New Hampshire, but the bulk Of it
has been in Virginia, West Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia.
The owners Of the land rule are
anxious to dispose Of it to the govern
ment, not only on account Of the cash
1t brings in, but because under govern
ment supervision the land is better cared
for There is better fire protection and
the land is more efficiently guarded
against erosion and stream pollution to
the advantage of city water supplies, and
strea.n navigation where the streams are
navigable at all.

TAKES UP COLOMBIA'S CLAIM.
Secretary Bryan Negotiating Direct
ly With Minister Betanc0urt.

While Thaddeus Thompson, newly
appointed minister TO Colombia, is en-
route to Bogota, Secretary Bryan and
Senior Betancourt, the Colombian min
lister here, have had several confer
ences regarding the arrangement OF a
basis for the negotiations which the
new minister is to conduct directly
with the Colombian government look
ing to an adjustment OF the dispute
over the sepa "a ton Of Panama.
Originally it was intended that Min
lister Thompson should lay the founda-
ton for the negotiations himself. but 1t
is believed that as result OF direct
conferences between Secretary Bryan
and the resident Colombian minister
the negotia lions can be expedited by a
mutual agreement on the outlines Of a
plan of adjustment, the details OF which
can be worked out in Colombia.

oKLAHoMA's COAL OUTPUT.
Increased Production Is Accom-
panied by an Advance in Price.

Oklahoma this year produced the larg-
est quantity Of coal il her history. ac-
cording to a report OF the United states
geological survey. The quantity was
more than 3,oO9Co0 tons, valued at near
~ $s.OOO,OOo. The coal ran all the way
from low-grade bituminous to high-grade
bituminous that was nearly anthracite.
The coal production was stimulated
largely by the shortage of petroleum and
natural 9as in the mid-continental field.
The competition in coal from the other
southwestern states continues keen. ac-
cording to the report, but the petroleum
shortage referred to has resulted In an
advance In prices.
The greatest coal consumption in the
United states outside of New York. &C
cordinr to the same source. is in the
Pittsburgh district; where there were Yer,
cnpsi,mption in greater New York Is
only between 100000 aud :!Wlon
tons. and New York is the iirst CITY IN
the country in point Of size. while Pitts
burgh is the sixth.

question that the continent was populat-

at very recent date as world history

Deen persistently repeated attempts to

without Knowing that there was an un-

permanent and the new world had hee:l
opened by the northern gate the chances
are that the history Of the world might
have been better: that many carly rec
ords destroyed by the Spaniards might

he says, could not have been worse
