THY CANDLE” It is apt at this time to say a few words about lawyers, in which f the American Bar association, view of the meetings begin in this city tomorrow For 30 years the declared objects of the American Bar association have been: of the science has been so productive of confusion, complexity ‘To advance. the science of jurisprudence, The advance and delay that only the very rich can now afford to buy any of it 2—To promote uniformity of legislation throughout the Union. And meanwhile our state legislatures have been an nually turning out an average of nearly 15,000 laws! 3 and 4—To uphold the honor of the profession and en courage cordial intercourse among members of the bar, Worthy | enough aims, but matters that must naturally arrange them selves But, honorable brainy, above, there will be patriotic, who feel that the as intimate lawyers in the coming meeting original objects of the association have become obsolete and who realize, seriously, that the people are fast losing all con fidence in the honorable law itself, by adopting new aims and devising practical ways of securing | them / How much good to the nation might not be accomplished and the association may interest the whole country | if our judges could be removed beyond dirty party politics and dirtier private purchase, and if we could have simplicity in court procedure and more uniformity in statute-making? to these things. Not for long will the masses trust justice with high judges who brazenly dem nd passes from railroad corporations Not for long will the common people submit their rights of liberty and property-holding to brutal, pauperizing methods of procedure under which only the longest purse can hope to win. It is high time for the American Bar association to dk something besides advancing the science of jurisprudence and encouraging professional cordiality AGNEW CANNOT UNDERSTAND HODGE County P. Agnew, candidate for the re publican nomination for sheriff, cannot understand that Roh ert T. Hodge, also candidate for the republican nomination for sheriff, can really be sincere in his pledge to the people that, if elected, he will serve for his salary as sheriff, eschewing the fecognized graft going with the office To Agnew, with his graft-ring training in politics, folly is incomprehensible. “Why should a public official pass up any ‘perquisites’ that are handed to him by kind, political associates when the public pays the bill?” is the question of the graft-ring official And, so, he fails utterly to comprehend how Hodge can be in earnest in his pledge, if elected, to give up the graft handed to the sheriff by the county board, in the allowance of 40 cents per day each for feeding the prisoners in the county jail. And it is not to be wondered at that a number of the “glad hand” bunch fails to comprehend the conscientious honesty which dictates such a pledge as that made by Bob Hedge Being actuated by no such motives himself, Agnew cannot credit them in Hodge. For Agnew sees politics and public service only through the eyes of the graft ring, which has long regarded the sheriff's office as a source of fat graft; an office to be passed around to deserving members of the ring. Agnew cannot comprehend how Hodge can really intend | to give up the graft in the sheriff's office, if elected, because the graft in the office is what Agnew is after. The salary of} $200 per month is a bagatelle compared with the graft {rom | feeding prisoners.
