THE LAWYER CRIMINAL

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Judge Charles M. Thompson, speaking at the banquet of the law school of Northwestern University, said that in the criminal practice of the courts of this country "there are meth- ods which are nothing less than deplorable."
 He said that every day the criminal courts find lawyers resorting to every trick and loop hole in the law to effect the release of crim- inals whom they know to be guilty.
 The ability of lawyer criminals to free guilty criminals has produced the organization of crime. The current number of the Amer ican Bar Association Journal says that some vice is so well organized that the criminals report from time to time each day by tele- phone and if oneis not heard from the assump- tion is he has been arrested, whereupon the lawyers retained to defeat justice hasten to court with petitions for habeas corpus.
 Judge Thompson said this was true of the pickpocket ring. The arrangement between criminal and lawyer criminal is not one to insure fair trial within the procedure of the courts, but it is arrangement before the commission of crime to protect the criminal from the consequences if he should be ar rested.
 The criminal rings cannot be broken up until the lawyer criminal organization has been broken down, and that is duty of the courts and the bar associations. The practice of law in this state Is a privilege. It is granted by the supreme court. It can be revoked.

A LOST SHIP

From the New York Times. It lies beneath the waters, fathoms deep. Rotting and rusting through centuries, Dank mosses hide its golden piracies And sea snakes through its broken cabins creep And o'er its sunken treasures vigil keep; Bones whiten on it's slimy, gutted deck And great fish at this human fodder peck, While o'er it's masts grim monsters whine and
 leap. Sometimes the divers like strange idols clad, Descend upon it's ruined, ancient hulk, And shudder, as they watch the sea folk
 skulk, Trailing the misty wraiths that noisless pad Through this drowned ship that sailed from
 Salem town,
 And left no man to tell how it went down.
