SAYS NEUTRALS
SHOULD UNITE

Madrid. Spain. April 14-Amadeo
Hurtado, an authority on international
law. has written a letter to the presi-
dent of the council Of ministers In re-
gard to the damaging OF the steamship
Sussex and the consequent death of
the Spanish composer. Enrique Grana-
dos. He SAYS:
Spain should take the initiative to
bring about joint action of all neutral
countries, in order to put a stop TO
the Illegal system which has such dis
astrous consequences for all neutrals.
The warships Of the allied nations are
kept busy protecting their merchant
marine and that Of neutrals.
Germany has no merchant ships now
at sea, and her warships are engaged in
war service while German merchant
ships are protected by internment in
neutral ports throughout the world. It
is inconsistent with neutrality, and If
German merchant ships continue TO
have protection in neutral ports, neu-
trails should demand Of the German ma
ton the protection Of their citizens and
merchantmen"

ferred to the county authorities and a
formal charge of murder was filed
against him in Justice of the peace j. J.
AIurphv's court and his bond fixed at
$1,000. The shooting occurred at 1890

The Baskin company has been having
much trouble with thieves taking copper
wire and other supplies stored in the
warehouse for several months and a
number of the thefts have been traced
to a gang Of Mexicans on the south side.
The English language is now spoken
by over 100000 people.

Checks on All Banks.
In describing Vergara's method Of
working, Ell Democratic says that Yer

the various subchiefs not only all the
money they need for propa uganda and
the pay Of recruits, but check books
on various American banks, against
which they can draw at will. One Of

self to lynching a whole people, a
whole race, a whole continent. It is
against this that We should struggle"
Vergara also declares as his objects

CURB THELAWYER
To SAVE LIBERTY.
Fort Worth Man Says We
Are Becoming a Lawyer
Ruled Oligarchy.

-, Fort Worth, Tex, April 15.-LimitinE
Ihe number Of lawyers to one for every
3OUO population, eliminating him en-
tirely from one branch of the legisla-
ture, paying them salary and putting
them under bond. are among the sug-
gesuons offered by Geo. W. Armstrong,
business man and capitalist of this
CITY IN a communication to the Texas
r-' league, which is carryins
on an extended discussion of the ad-
mlnlstration of justice His communi-
cation says among other things.
Inc lawyer is alone responsible for
the law delay; for the non-enfOrce-
ment OF the criminal laws and for the
technicahties by which the ends Of
justice are more often defeated than
promoted, and for the fat statute book
growing fatter year by year until even
lawyers themselves do not know the
law.
To Blame for All.
THE tariff. the trust, the tax, and
the various other problems that con-
front US are all lawyer made, lawyer
interpreted and lawyer enforced On
the other hand, the lawyer, the gov
erning class of society, is not entitled
TO tull credit for our Republican instt-
tutions, for he has responded grudg
ingly to the demands of the people for
liberty. He is day by day and year by
year increasing his power and restrict
ing the liberty of the citizen.
1t was formerly a democratic axiom
that the best governed people are those
who are least governed. The reverse
now is true. Paternalism is the ten
dency and the goal with the lawyer as
the administrator. One step constitutes
a precedent for another. and step by
step he is constantly and relentlessly
encroaching upon civil liberty, and is
making himself the master.
Lawyers In Control
I do not mean to say that the lawyer
is designedly usurping power. Perhaps
most Of our needless laws and endless
regulations are inaugurated by ambi-
tOus lawyers for advertising and vote
catching purposes; but I do assert that
whatever may be the motive, there is
constant and ever increasing invasion
Of the rights of the citizen, and that the
responsible cause is the office seeking
lawyer politician. who is also the bene-
ficiary both in power and profit He
not only now fills the various public
Offices-legislative judicial and execu-
tive-but he is necessary to the guild
ance Of every business institution Of
consequence, and even under his direc-
ton they do not always escape the tolls
Of the law
Fully three-fourths of our presidents
and public service commissioners have
been lawyers, and all of our judges.
We are truly a government OF the law
yers. and by the lawyers, and very
largely for the lawyers
