SelfiShneSS

1T is understood that a number
of fee-hungry lawyers in Nevada
have advised their clients to keep
clear of the new Industrial Insurance
law, which is to be set in motion
within the next thirty days. Those
who are advising against this new
law are doing so merely for selfish
gain. They realize that should the
corporations join in this class OF II
| surance that the annual retainer for
lawsuits will be missing. That once
| such a law is working, and a few
claims adjusted, that the clients will
get the money and the lawyers will
not even be counted in for any fee
With those opposing such a new sys-
| tenn of adjustment it is dollars and
! not justice that is the incentive.
The law was framed by a lawyer.
He stated at its introduction that it
would do o to %injure the practice
of the Nevada lawyer than any bill
ever framed, but that it would also
do more to benefit the working man
and those who employed him than
any law ever passed. This was Jude~
; Forman of Tonopah, and when he
read during the winter that such 1
law had been held constitutional in
Indiana, he was as we'll pleased as il
he had Won a case, This lawyer vas
working for humanity and not for
! the dollars.
Those who have been watching the
progress of industrial insurance and
compensations, are confident hat
within a few years the Nevada law
will be of vast benefit all round.
1t will quickly adjust accident dam
ages, will give the corporation a
square deal, and will wipe out hun
dreds of cases from the court calen,
dars. 1t relieves the Judges on the
bench of much disagreeable duty,
prevents the tampering OF jurors and
is a step almost in advance of the
times. If the money-hungrv lawyers
! back of the scheme can show any
humanitarian move in their action
they will have to do a lot of fine ex-
planning. 1t seems that every good
law is subject to such work. while
the vicious laws are cultured with
the greatest of care by this class Of
lawyers. 1t will at least show the
hungry ones to the rest of the fra
ternity.

The Amendment

BY enacting the Seventeenth
Amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States, it will soon be pos
sible to elect the Senators from every
state by a direct vote of the people.
The old plan of buying up a few
members OF the Legislature is elm
mated and the people will make their
choice. One OF the interesting fea-
lures of this is that a Democratic
Secretary of State signed the docu-
ment, which has been a Democratic
dream for years.
Nevada. unlike many OF the older
states, has not only helped in the
passage of this amendment, but has
practically had the law in force the
past two campaigns. when the people
named the Senator and not the Leg
lslature. 1t was a popular choice
program, and while it was a matter
OF choice among gentlemen, the can
didates took their medicine and the
one defeated bowed to the will Of the
voters. Nevada is now ranked with
the progressive states of the union,
as she has about as many broad laws
on the statute books as any other
State in the Union.

THE result Of the libel suit won
by Colonel Roosevelt, while the sum
paid was but a few cents, showed
that the American was a mar in ev-
cry respect. The Colonel did not de-
ny that he takes a drink when he
needs one and that he can say no
when he wants to. Had he denied
that he ever took a drink he would
have fallen in the estimation Of all
who admires him. The man who
can say yes or mo" when the right
time comes is far above the man who
denies the truth. The Colonel lost
no friends by his admissions. if he
didn't get the ten thousand. But
Teddy won his suit and waived the
matter of damages.
