LAWYERS, as class, have streak Of yellow up

consciousness OF gauge. They not born that
way In babyhood they just pretty, and in child
hood just sincere any child of honest working peo-
ple They made that way by conditions, by GRIM re-
1entess, capitalist conditions.
The Bar Association of Ohio county passed resOlu IL
Wednesday denouncing the charges against Judge Day
ton and withdrawing him. This before they had seen the
charges single affidavit heard word of evidence
That the resolutions slipped through meeting
OF the Association at which there but about ten pres

B. g. Dovener, nothing. If they had slipped
this resolution through this clandstne manner thev
would have passed petition and practically every lawyer
In Wheeling would have signed it. In fact that was the
original intention 1t given out that Judge Dayton
sWould allow his frends to sign such petition in his
favor And nine out Of ten local lawyers would have
signed soft soap euogy of Judge Dayton though nine
out OF ten OF them would not have believed word Of
the miserable stuff they signed.
The reason for such hypocrisy is what is called by
determinism." Lawyers make their living by the law
Their success depends for the most part upon the Judge
lawyer who feels that judge is prejudiced against
him feels that he has chance in that court matter
row strong his case may be- And they all to feel
that Judge Dayton is small enough hold very large
prejudice So it is that while in private conversation al
most every lawyer in Wheeling will speak terms Of the
utmost contempt Of Judge Dayton he will at the sane
time subscribe publicly to laudation of that judge
The resolution of the Bar Association :fathered hv
men like 7. S. Riley and John A. Howard who have fat

Judge Daytons attitude toward them, and men like
Robert White who has drawn his salary as attorney for
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad company, which corpora

The promoters of the Memorial
meeting for Moundsville Labor ON
Sunday, May 81, are going steadily
ahead with their plans to make the
affair a big one. They are agitating
the matter in Wheeling with the ex-
pectation that a special train full of
people will go down from here.
Electrical Workers No. 141, of this
city, have chartered a special train.
and say that they will have 100 pas
sengers for it, and expect the other
unions to make u pthe balance to fill
the train.
A noted speaker will be brought
here for the occasion, and it is the
intention to have three brass bands
In attendance. The meeting will be
held in the auditorium of the Camp
Grounds, delightful place to assem-
BILE, and the fact that it will be upon
the fifth Sunday of the month, when
there win be no meeting of either
Assembly. will help to assure large
crowd. Those attending are expecting
to take their families With them.

= Why is another making 81 or S. in day in
Wheeling at work harder than that for which you are

cause few of us are in jail, for we
don't mind it one bit Tell them to
keep UP with the good work and l
will be back in the fight with them

not vote as they vote openly in the Bar Association
