ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN l

Lawyers and Judges.-I have the
following letter from "a Constant
Reader" BY the way, l wish cor
respondents would always send their
real names. If they don't want the
names published they can say so and
l will respect their confidence, of
course. But l like to know who
am in communication with. Here
is the letter:
you answered Mangasarian's
question relative to the Belgians and
the Pope, which was very apt. The
question l am DESTROYS of having
your opinion on is: In the interest
of real justice, do you think judges
should be elected to Office by mem
bers of the barr"
do not. The legal profession, in
my opinion, has degenerated so
badly that 1 wouldn't trust it to pick
judges. AS rule, the most influen-
tial members of bar associations are
the big corporation lawyers, and
they are the criminal lawyers of to-
day. 1 think some of them are also
lawyer criminals as well as criminal
lawyers.
They affect to despise the criminal
lawyer who. defends petty or retail
thieves, but much of the work of
corporation lawyers during the past
twenty years has been to show our
captains of industry and some whole
sale thieves how to skin the public
and still keep out of prison which
is exactly what the criminal lawyers
are trying to do for their clients.
There are exceptions to all rules,
but my opinion is that most lawyers
are for sale to the highest bidder.
Very few lawyers are good citizens.
To be too pubIc-spirited would inter-
fere with their money-making.
In the days when judges were
travelling with their pocket full of
railroad passes, the passes were given
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-12-10

before CnOSe JUDGES. Anu part VI
their business was to help pick the
judges through their political con-
nections. 1t would be expecting too
much of weak human nature to
expect them to pick judges who
would not stand by their friends"
have known firms of corporation
lawyers who got big-paying business
because they we're supposed to stand
in with certain judges - and they
were supposed to stand in because
of their influence in bringing about
the nomination and election of these
judges.
In judicial districts about the coun-
try you will find Republican corpor-
alton lawyers very influential in
making party nomination in Repub-
ican judicial districts, and Democratic
corporation lawyers just as active in
Democratic judicial districts. The
political lawyers in the majority
party generally have working rela-
ton with corporation lawyers who
are active in controlling minority
nominations 81.
BY controlling the mountainous or
both parties they can't lose.
Lawyers are human. Like most
everybody else they are out for the
dough. Influence with Judge is an
asset. 1t helps get business. The
money-making lawyers are the cor
poration lawyers. They generally
have about them a herd of young
lawyers who get the handouts sman
cases the big fellows don't care to
monkey with. So their influence ex-
tends through the bar associations.
1 might give other reasons, but
these are enough to make me oppose
nomination of judges by lawyers,
who make their living practicing be-
fore judges.

The Donaldsonville chief., 1914-04-04
To Demonstrate effectiveness
AeropIanes in Warfare.

The Times-Democrat reports that
the effectiveness of ethe latest Unit
ed States army model aeroplanes in
naval and military warfare will be
demonstrated at Ga1lfport, Miss, by
| I. r. Maroney, the .Well-knoWn Mon.
tana aviator, who made a series OF
successful flights in this city sever.
al weeks ago. Officers of the United
States army, navy and marine corps
4 i'll New Orleans will be invited to
witness the demonstration, and it is
reported that a number of persons
prominently identified with Latin
| American revolutionary affairs will
be present also. If permission of
| the federal and state governments
can be obtained it's planned to en-
ploy real bombs in the destruction
! of a small vessel or floating target
in Mississippi sound, about two
miles off Gulfport. If permission to
use explosives is refused artificial
bombs will be employed.
Although Mr.. Maroney denied that
he had made any arrangements with
revolutionary factions, it was said
that representatives of the Mexican
federal government, the Constitution
alists and possibly the Venezuelan re
Volutionists would be interested spec
t tators.
/ Mr.. Maroney received a few days
ago at Morgan City new $4,000 Cur
tiss aeroplane of the latest United
States army pattern. He has been
j in New Orleans for several days and
/ LETT there for Gufport Monday.
While in New Os1eaps he was con-
suited by number of persons prom
inently identified with Latin-Ameri-
can and Mexican political affairs.
He denied that he had contemplated
entering the revolutionary service in
either Mexico or Venezuela, but ad-
mitted that he had extended to sew
| eral persons connected with Latin
American political affairs invitations
to witness the bomb experiments at
Gulfport.
You see, I want to start an avia-
ton school in some Of the Latin
American countries, explained Mr..
Maroney. In New Orleans if an
aviator is seen talking with a dark
complexioned gentleman, immediate
ly rumors are set afloat that he is
planning to engage in some reVolu-
tlonary campaign. I think can de-
monstrate to representative Of any
government that one good standard
aeroplane, handled by an expert avia-
tor, is worth several thousand rifles
and a few cannon when it comes to

How to Detect a Bad Egg

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside several contributors tell how
to test the freshness and fertility
of eggs. One says that of all sim.
pie egg testers the tumbler is the
best. He goes on:
'sTake wide-bottomed glass tum
bier, fill half full with water, and
lay the egg in it. If the egg is
fresh it will lie flat on the bottom
of the tumbler. Il it is about three
weeks old the big end will be rails
ed slightly above the pointed end
If the egg is three months old il
will stand on the small end, and II
older than three months it viii rise
to the surface"
