It is a pity to cry down ones own
countrymen, but every day 1 am more
and more impressed with the rudeness
Of the American public. While that
distinguished old gentleman, NJ. Cheddo
Miyatovich, was addressing his audience
yesterday. after speech made by Mrs
Pankhurst, counted no less than 75
women who arose from the audience
and left the place. 1t is barely possi-
Bile that some of them were obliged to
leave to catch trains, but surely not
so many. 1t was a little difficult to
hear NJ Miyatovich. and his English
was, of course, labored, but he was very
interesting; and in any case that was
not the question. People seem to do
Just as they feel in these days, without
regard to politeness or other persons
feelings. NANCY WYNNE.

What's the Matter With the Lawyers2

The sharp controversy of friends of the
bar over the proposed "ant-shyster" law shows
that the lawyers, themselves are still in dire dis
agreement to what is 'unprofessional" and to
what extent misconduct should be disciplined and
penalized.
The truth is, however, that the lawyers confuse
offenses against their false code OF ethics and
offenses that violate the integrity of courts and
court processes. No one can defend the holdup
and shakedown practices of crooked lawyers that
bring the whole profession into disgrace, but
when it comes to alleged unprofessional methods
of busness-getting, there is room for divergence
of opinion. So far as the layman can see no
good reason exists why lawyer should not bring
his services to the attention of those who NAV
want to them, providing he does it in a
legitimate way. The obsolete code of ethics that
prohibits lawyers from advertising has no justifi-
cation or excuse in this modern day, in which
proper publicity is the foundation stone of bust
ness success although limitations may be neces-
sary to repress ambulance chasing contingent fee
splitting and secret "divies' in the nature of
bribes, Efforts ito get business" are not intrin-
sicaly reprehensble in law any more than in
other vocatons, only there are good ways and
bad ways OF doing it-unobjcc ways and
sem-crimnal ways The test OF unprofessonal
conduct or legal malpractice should be not an
ouworn tradition, but the moral obloquy and cor
rupting character of the act ITSELF and this is
not difficult to distinguish in actual cases.
Let us repeat again that in Nebraska, at any
rate, it is not lack of law prescribing penalties
that is responsible for letting crooked lawyers
flourish with impunity, but lack of backbone
among the reputable lawyers (and the reputable
lawyers constitute the vast majority to go after
the crooks and drive them out of the profession
as they deserve.

Divorce and Its Causes.

Judge Day has Just furnished an interesting
analysis of his inquiry into the causes that led
to 2Sl suits in which he granted divorce decrees
within year. His showing may occasion some
revision OF opinion to why married couples
ask the courts to dissolve the bonds that unite
them. First of all. the judges examination of the
records and testimony in the cases he heard es-
ablishes the fact that divorce is ascribable to
no one reason. SO many differing circumstances
contribute to cause the dissatisfaction that ter
inmates in divorce that the closest OF students
baffled when they seek to- lay down any
definite conclusions
Among the contributing causes in the present
survey enumerated the we'll recognized clc-
ments of cruelty. inhdety and failure to support
! These are subdividcd into a variety OF factors.
all of which depend in the final issue on the
behavior OF husband or wife Any or all could
be removed were the offending party to realize
obligations ignored in pursuit OF selfish designs.
This much is made plain by Judge Days analysis
He places at the head of his list of factors in
divorce that OF age, which suggests that too many
OF the ShlpwreCked ventures the matrimonial
sea are launched too early. The young persons
do not understand what they are undertaking, nor
have they the experience that would ordinarily
enable wiser folks to avoid the rocks on which
| their hopes arc wrecked.
1t is comforting in some degree to note that
of the 2Sl cases considered. only fifteen divorces
were granted on account of drunkenness and
twenty-seven on account of inhdety This is
significant, because of the care OF lawyers to draw
pleadings so as to be certain OF winning and it
may be we'll believed that whatever else was
alleged, no opportunity was lost to set up one or
the other of these absolute causes
1t is also encouraging to reflect that Hymen
still ties many knots that hold until death do US
part"
