WAS $WIFT MINE SALT? find in computing the result that he j would have had to earn during all this I time the neat little sum of two hun- j dred and fifty dollars an hour, which to put it in the vernacular, would be going some. It is also here pointed.! out that the office of the Secretary of I the Treasury would be no sinecure should the government ever assume . . .. ; ..ie uunMi 01 u.e ,tUu6 ' "au system. The total income of these roads, both gross and net. In 1907, exceeds anything ever known before. The gross earnings are represented by the riiizy aggregate of t2.6o2, 757,503, which is about three times the income of the government. It is twenty-six times the nominal capital of the Standard Oil Company and at least four times its actual capital. Think of it, the railroad earnings of the United States for three months would buy out the entire capital stock of the Standard Oil Company. The net income is rep resented by the tidy sum of $901,345, CS1 which Is about what it costs the United States to keep, house every twelve months. After digesting these figures one is better able to under fought the attempts to subject them to State or National regulation. We can also appreciate the farcical side of their recent attempts to in crease their already colossal earnings, first, by a general reduction of wages, j and later by a general raise in freight rates. The net earnings per mile w ere t3.7o0 in the year ending June 30, 1907, against IC.5S0 in 190C, and $3,129 In 1905, both boom years, J2,C3S In 1901, another boom year, and $2,272 in the very prosperous year 1899. Net earnings per mile increased steadily every year, without a single break from 1S95 to 19u7 inclusive. ETHICS OF LAW. For several centuries the lawyers j of this country have endeavored to j conduct their profession without a code of ethics. Why this should have j been is lnexpicable. Every honor-: able profession has evolved one many : generations ago. That the lawyers ! had none no doubt accounts for a largb ' proportion of the percentage of "dis-1 honest" men In the profession. We are accustomed to regard attorneys as men cf strict honor, worthy of ; trust. Some of us have found that the by-palhs of the law are filled j with snares and pitfalls where the ' unwary are guided by the "honorable" ! members of the bar and stripped of j their valuables, experiencing less ter , ror but with very much the same re- j suit that obtained by the thug in the j night who with deadly weapon order I us to "stand and deliver." Therere the announcement that the American I Bar Asociation has come to the front j with a movement to protect us and . themselves by adopting a code of eth-; les is hailed with i'y both inside and ' outside tho profession. A committee of fourteen of the lead ing lawyers of the country after ; months, of deliberation dr-.w up the ; code, whi'-h, after much discussion : and some alterations, was finally t adopted. The conduct of lawyers is ; a matter of as much interest to those outside the profession as to those In j It, therefore there Is a right for lay criticism of this code. ; The committee aimed to state in a body of rules the principles which, ac-', cording to the highest professional 1 ideal, should govern and guide a prac- i ticing lawyer. They did not attempt to formulate rules the infraction pf which, would constitute a criminal of fense. What they did try to do was to formulate a professional conscience. The violation of some of these rules will expose tho offender to criminal punishment; of others to disbarment; if others to expulsion from bar as-i their present navies while their next soclatlon: of many others . to no pen- ihmr neighbor wields such a greal ad alty at all except the disapproval of j vantage over them In sea power, high-minded men In the profession j Hrall's ambition for a navy there and public '.'loony, (ore may start an era of battleship There ore thirty-two canons In the ode. Some of these are purely pro - I f.sional In chaiacter and therefore are not quoted. Extracts from the : others are as follows; The law enjoins respect for the' courts and for Judicial officers for the! sake of the office and not for the sake of the Individual who for the time bo- ! lug administers the function. it ! is the duty of the bur to endeavor to! prevent political considerations from ! outweighing judicial fitness In the selection of Judges. A lawyer may i undertake with nroprietv the defense erty but by due profess of the law. Contingent fees may be contract - ed for but they lead to many abuses and should be' under the supervision if (K court.

There is nothingl in international law to prevent such a tmrwarl.in it l,n rinna hofiim ! as the names of the Albany and the New Orleans on our own naval roster bear evidence that some few years ago we ourselves purchased two fight ing craft from the land of the Amazon.

K. M. Swiit. lio is promoting the construction of an eoclnc railway into the Molalla country, is accused of salting a Clackamas County mine. He denies it. of course, and his denial, printed In this week's Issue, has all the ear marks of truth. Let us not he t.M hasty in our judgment of Mr. Swift. He should have his chance to interest capital In building a railway into a country that would make the venture pay from the start. (Continued from Page One.) of D. C. Forbes. Counter charges are made by them. I.,.i ,k., ....... I., I..,i., ,!,, in, r l the courts, li would have been the height of folly for them to salt the mine, they cnfenJ even Uffi dl1"-' f"r ,m h'l1 mt th"r m"m, !nt( aiut wt,re nlaking no attempt to Induce others to Invest. "Mr. Swift and myself have lived !r Riehiiriloll t:liniy (.), ci,arB, against us are foolish. We have been and are still engaged together in many different enterprises. Forbes himself Induced ' 1 , , us to put up the money and it was an,(1. ,m his representations that we ,jd. However, we never had much faith In his claims for the separator j he invented. We took a lease on It for 3'i days, and It was agreed that U th machine made good it would be purchased. Hut It never made good and consequently will not be paid for. It was to try to make us pay for it Mr ForJH,s ,nat n his own personal investigation he found gold and that with the use of his new In vention we could take out i"i"i worm of gold per day. Now, he says, under oath, that there Is no gold there. "After trying to operate the machine for several days. Korbes pretended to get sick and came away from the prop erty. His charges that we salted the mine are particular)" absurd. We bought it only after Forbes said the gold was there, and after that why should we want to deceive ourselves bv salting It? We were not trying to sell It. We are out about $W In salaries, expenses, etc., and now they want to mage us pay for the big. new invention which never made good ami which we did not buy. We paid Forbes $10 a day while he was out i there setting up the machine. "This man Morris, whom Forbes de scribes as an expert and w ho was sent 1 to investigate, denied, lu the presence of witnesses, that he had ever made such reports as were accredited to him. Their charges that we did not pav our employes is also untrue, for the onlv man we did not pay was one 1 whom Forbes himself had employed to stay there. All the other laborers were ' paid." i J. F. Jones, who lives at Scotts Mills 1 near which the troublesome "mine" Is located, says positively that Rich ardson and Swift paid all legitimate ! expenses. He declares there Is" no question that the mine was salted, and i expresses confidence In his ability to name the man who did it Oregonian. FALL SEASON FASHIONS are distinctive.
