LAWYERS AND PRESS.

The Illinois Bar Association has
adopted resolutions condemning law
yers who "try their cases in the
newspapers" 1t is even suggested
that it may be found desirable to dis
bar lawyers who keep on doing it,
The lawyers mostly are not to
blame. The newspapers get the news,
and the lawyers blame them for it,
and blame each other for giving it to
them. But who's to be blamed at
last? The public wants the news,
and is on the whole entitled to it. 1t
expects the newspapers to get it, and
it supports those that do the best at
getting it.
Old-fashioned "ethics" about these
matters are a good deal played out.
Of course, a lawyer has no business
trying to build up a power of public
opinion to help him win his case.
But on the other hand, how could
the lawyers involved in the Rosen-
thai case in New York have possibly
prevented publicity? How could they
have refused a certain amount of CO.
operation with the press? They
could not. 1t has been charged by
the Illinois Bar Association that pub
licity too often defeats the ends of
justice. Perhaps so; but suppression
of publicity is one thing that would
vastly more frequently defeat those
same ends.

THE TIMELY RAINS.

The region Immediately about
Washington has been less benefited
by the showers of. the last few days
than most. sections of the East, be-
cause this territory has not received
so much precipitation as has gener-
ally been noted. But even in this
neighborhood the fall has been suffi-
cient to put an end to the moments
misgivings of crop disaster. The
wheat crop promises in this section
to be the biggest in many years, and
corn is now making an appearance
that reasonably guarantees a fair
crop. 1t was put in the ground late,
and will need fast-growing weather
to insure against good deal being
harvested before it is thoroughly
cured.
The West has generally had sub
stantial rains, and with the East
now generally rescued from immi-
nent danger of ruinous drought, it is
again safe to indulge the prophecy
that the country will turn out in this
year 1914 the biggest total of agri-
cultural values that was ever known.
Moreover, the price of wheat has
been strengthening of late, and indi-
cations are favorable for some stiff
fleming all along the line, at least
until it is certain that bumper crops
are to be the rule. If natures invi-
tation to prosperity can be refused
while conditions are thus favorable,
it will be proof positive that some
thing is very much wrong.

SHABUOTH MARKED
BY 8 COMBINATIONS
Feast Weeks" Observed at
Eighth Street Temple and
at Synagogue

Confirmation services in the Eighth
Street Temple and special ceremonies
in the Fifth Street Synagogue today
marked the observance of Sheouoth. the
Feast of the Weeks" Eight children
made up the confirmation class in the
synagogue of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation. and a program, including
twenty-three numbers divided in four
parts began at 10:15 and continued until
after noon. Holiday ceremonies were
held by the congregation of the Rev.
Leopold Glushak in the Fifth Street
Synagogue, but none were confirmed.
The elaborate program at the Eighth
street Temple was in charge OF the
Rev. Abram Simon and his assistant,
the Rev. Louis Stern. Beginning with
procession of the children about the
church, the solemn ceremonies were
d0ided into the service of the scrolls,
the service OF flowers. the service of
duties, and the service OF conservation.
Participating IN the program were the
two rabbis, Prof. f. Lent. Mrs. Irma
Stern Kalisher. and the following men,
bers of the confirmation class: Hor-
tense Dreyfuss. Ruth Heilb-un. Fannye
Lesser, Helen Morris. Elsie Picard.
Freda Ring, Camille Schwab, and Ruth
Schwab.
In addressing the members of the con-
firmation class on their duties, DR..
Simon explained the significance of the
Feast of Weeks" He told Of the duty
one owes to his religion, his country.
and his home. 'Shabuoth," he said,

Lake Adds to Beauty.
One side of the garden is bounded
by beautiful natural lake where the
ducks o. the place flock, giving another

Mrs. Rainey is particularly fond of
the lake, and last spring. when the
usual time Of the departure for home
came, and Mrs. Rainey was unable to
go, on account OF the long session OF
Congress, Mr.. Rainey had the picture
shown here enlarged. colored, and

Then there is the matter of store

everybody who attempts to pay off a
mortgage, lock up the first offender

tailor's account, and set about print

out delay, in order that the inves-
tors may have something to buy! No
matter whose bonds or what they are
secured upon; by all means let US
have plenty of bonds; and let them
run in perpetuity, so that they can't
possibly be paid off, and the investor
may be secured, once for all, against
a possible revival of this hateful
proposal that folks shall be allowed
to wreck the social structure by pay
ing their debts.

Now observe what would have
happened: everybody would have
paid off his debts, and would have his
property clear of debt. But there
would be no debts in which anybody
might invest his money, and so the
social structure would crNmble.
To think of it even casually and in
general terms is to tremble. The
country has been going along, work
ing and saving in the effort to pay
its debts, all unconscious of the fact
that if it ever succeeded it would be
ruined. There would be nothing for
the investors to buy!
Instant steps should be taken to
shunt off the calamity. A measure
TO impose severe penalties on persons
talking about public ownership would
be about proper to start the chain of
legislation. Then it would be we'll
positively to prohibit sinking funds
and sinking. So long as the utilities
are under private control, of course.
the sinking fund will do little harm
for whoever heard of a public utility
in this country that actually sunk a
debt? Or that disposed of it in any
other manner than such as would in
crease its volume?

The discovery of a carpenter, whose

been commented upon in several news
papers, and at Lamberhurst, in Kent,
there is a family who have been inn

such record would be thought utter
