LAWYERS who are a credit to this

The demand for uprightness

within the bar to make those

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A NATION DEEPLY SHOCKED

The picture which the Associated Press gives
this morning of the situation i'm Germany follow
ing Hltler's bloody coup is that of nation every
element of whose population has been profoundly
shocked.
The German people know that not the slightest
dependence is to be placed in the reports which
are now published by the newspapers of that coun-
try The newspapers are under the iron hand OF
the government and dare print only what the gov
eminent says they shall print.
Cut off thus from any trustworthy source OF
information as to the developments of Saturday,
the people spent the day wondering what it was
all about and gathering in the coffee houses to
whisper among themselves after making sure no
government agents were about"
1t is plain that the people do not accept the
official accounts put out by Hitler and by Goering
at their face value They are asking questions of
one another The Storm Troops, we may be sure,
are bitter among themselves that the leader whom
they put into power has turned against them.
Hitler has crushed for the moment what he
says was rebellion in the making. But his
position is perilous.
The reports that President Won Hindenburg is
seriously i'll climax the situation Hindenburg has
been the chief stabilizng influence of Germany
1Or Lne past slHIeeu years
His prestige was immense and he doomed in the
public eye as giant linking the Germany that
was with the Germany that might be.
Were he younger man the story in Germany
now would almost certainly be a different story
Germany is in state of tragic chaos 1t is un-
der the dictatorship of ruthless trio-Goering,
Hitler and Goebbes-nOt one of whom is to be
trusted
The outside world knows this. The German
people feel it. Hitler, nominally triumphant, is
actually in state of terror. His continued execu-
ton, without trial, of those who have been his
own lieutenants is proof of that.
He has had no prestige abroad. 1t is incredible
that he will be able to re-acquire the prestige
which was his in Germany
There has been nothing stranger of all the
strange happenings of the postwar years than the
brutal events that taking place in what
Germans used to call the Observation-Disclosures

CROSSING THE BAR
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

LAWYERS not so inclined to be hon
est and honorable.
The bar associations if they
would, could in a short time, free
our courts of practises which have
caused our people generally to
lose confidence in the courts,
The better class Of lawyers are
distressed by many things done
by lawyers, but they are outnum-
bered by the members of their
profession who possess easy con.
sciences. They are so outvoted
that they are powerless to bring
about the legal reforms they be-
lieve essential to the welfare OF
our people.
Rarely will you find a lawyer
brave and strong enough to OPP
pose the clan and fight the clan,
Usually the clan would tear him
to pieces, which is one reason it
is difficult to get a lawyer to
take a case against lawyer or
even to take a case, no matter
how meritorious, that the major
ity of the lawyers in the c)m-
munity would frown on.
Over and over again at meet
ings of bar associations, outstand-
ing, high-minded lawyers con-
denim certain practices Ct law
yers and upbraid those guilty of
such practises. But those crit
cisms are usually received COM
placently and quiescently.
1t takes an unusually fine type
of man with a clear-cut consci-
ence, to be a lawyer and still re-
tain his integrity; for lawyers
are so accustomed to renting
their brains. activities and influ-
ences for almost any case under
the shining sun, that unless they
are even watchful of themselves
they actually lose the power to
differentiate between right ard
wrong. They are unable to see
any evil in anything they want to
do. They become deaf to the still.

JULY FOURTH REALITY LIVES ON
(By BRUCE CATION


Repeat any ceremony often enough and
eventually it will be almost meaningless
unless you take especial trouble to stop
and remember just what it's all about.
That's especially true of birthday cele-
brations-even Uncle Sans.
There have been lot of Independence
Days, since an old bell in Philadelphia
steeple rang out the announcement of the
first one. A lot of flags have been run up,
a lot of bands have footed their lips tired,
lot of explosives and rockets have been
set off, and lot of speakers have shouted
themselves hoarse; sometimes it seems as
if all these observances had got bit stale,
so that no one any longer bothers to think
of what's back of them.
And yet, even if this Fourth of July
symbol has been used over and over again,
the reality which stands back of it is just
as much alive now as it ever was-and
just as much worth thinking about.
! Those men of 1776 didn't go to war just
because they disliked the king of England,
Or because they were feeling their oats
and needed good, brisk fight. War meant
hunger and mutilation and death then,
Just as it does now; and the colonists went
into it for perfectly definite and substan-
tial reasons.
They fought, in brief, because they had
discovered what a precious thing freedom
was; because they felt that the common
mans right to live his own life and work
out his own destiny was a right worth SUI
fering and dying for; because they be-
Iieved that with the strange new instru-
ment called democracy men could starve
bat a happier and freer world for them
selves.
Freedom and democracy weren't popu-
lar words in those days. They aren't pop
plar today.
when the first independence Day was
celebrated, most of Europe looked on de-
hrocracy as an impractical dream that
could never cOnceivably work properly.
Most of Europe, Judging from the preva-
1ence of relationships, feels the same way
About it today.
I'm the years following the American
REVOLUTION, the people of the United States
showed that democracy could be made to
Ftrk and that freedom was something in
Which the humblest man might share.
/ I'm the years just ahead of us, we have q
chance to prove the same thing all over
again.
The ideals for which men risked their
nacks on the first independence Day are
Aaing imperilled anew. Their security is
largely up to US. Our Fourth of July cele-
H5ation will take on new significance if
We can just remember that the day marks
OUR acquisition Of the greatest heritage
any people ever had.
That heritage is still great-and still in
danger. 1t is still up to us to defend it.
