Those who attended the main banquet of the bar association will not place much Weight on the opinions of the lawyers. Those who did not, however, may be inclined to take them seriously. | If anything of that kind is to be done, it would be a better idea, The Star thinks, to BAR lawyers from voting for judges. The idea of a sort of closed-corporation combination of lawyers and judges at election time does not sit well at all. Tt is, of course, fantastic and impossible. After all, judges are elected for the benefit of the public, not for the benefit of the state bar association, The less contact there is between the association and the bench the better the general Public will feel about law administration. All Aboard for Paradise! ILE conventions have brought thou- : f sands of visitors to Seattle this summer, Pacific Northwest folks have "at Mount — guests “first chance inier.

Just Words—That’s All United States treasu official who strikes “so help me God” from the offi- cial oath. - However, maybe it’s a proper stroke for economy of time. The words are, in effect, merely an old form. Really, after | he has first warmed his official chair, ‘it isn’t God at all but party policy that the political job-holder considers. The recogniton of God in it is about as im- portant and lasting as that declaration in the marriage ceremony, wherein she ises to obey and he agrees to endow with all his worldly goods, if she doesn’t get them anyhow. Then, too, that treasury official may actually be eliminating sacrilege, in ex- purging the treatment of God as a mere formality.

DARROW'S advice that “probably criminal lawyers have less on their souls than the average civil lawyer” should receive the attention a the Ameri- can Bar association, Mr. ‘Darrow’s discovery that both criminal and civil lawyers have souls is almighty important and the A.

As an indication of our general pros perity that isn’t so bad. And as an indi cation of the growing amount of enjoy- ment and plain, everyday happiness that the average citizen is able to grasp, it is even better. pp?

This record could doubtless be matched by almost every state n the Union, which is suf ficiently damning evidence of our folly in permitting the promiscuous carrying and pos- session of guns by the general pubii¢ guns are being sold in this country; too families keep loaded pis about th house, with the natural result that we show up with an enormous number of murder and accidental shoot- ngs at the end of each year Ma people profe to be- lieve a gun is a necessary djunct to # well regulated : they claim that firearms aprotection against burglars. argument, however, is a weak one when we consider that in the magnificent array of death notices due to pre- m ated and accidental shoot- ings, the names of burglars sel- dom appear ET us glance at our news- papers a bit. A man in Ohio goes crazy with the heat and, having a gun handy, kills eight members of his family be- fore the. police can stop him. A youth in C+lsornia plays with his father's revolver and murders his small sister, A husband in Oklahoma, while cleaning his gun, discharges it Mrs. Walter | Fer, uson by accident and finds his wife a corpse. A woman in Oregon, heating a noise in the night, grabs her pistol and slaughters her hus- band, walking in his sleep. A boy in Florida, while rummag- ing a clothes closet for the shoe blacking, has his head ~blown off by a loaded gun hidden there. And as a special tid-bit, listen” to this: a 16-months-old baby, whose indulgent mother gave her a pistol to play with when she cried for it, dis- charges said gun and kills the mother instantly. HAT are a laries compared to rrible things—careless, foolish, almost ridiculous human follies, if they did not spell grim tragedy for so many people? There are other ways of com- mitting murder, of course, than by the use of a gun, but of all weapons the gun remairg the most dangerous, because no matter how the victim may flee, there is small chance of escape. A bullet can always pursue you. A gun, in fact, is about the poorest protection you can have, when you come to analyze the dangers that lurk in its posses- sion. If you do not believe this, ask those persons in your state who, during the past 12 months, have wept over the cold bodies of their dead, needlessly slain because of this barbarous habit of thinking that firearms should be kept in civilized homes or carried about by civil- ized people.

We voted it, We have to pay it. No matter how able a council we have, they cannot make two dol- lars out of one.
