, LAWYERS THERE AND HERE
P
.ROBABLT THERE are suffi
cient reasons why the Oregon
Bar association declined to cen
sure, In connection with the
; Jleney resolutions, those professional
practices that contribute bo much to
' the law's delays and the criticism of
' courts. The occasion may have been
I deemed Inauspicious. The expres
sions and the plan of the resolutions
may have been regarded as' violative
of the et,hlcs of the profession as be
tween sister states. In any event,
by virtue of the known and consist
ent high standing of the Oregon bar,
a standing distinctly creditable to
the profession and the state, the as
eociation's action is not here called
, jn question. It Is, however, a fact
' that the present holdup of the Ban
Francisco courts by , unprincipled
lawyers is a travesty on an honora
ble profession. The lengths to
attpmeyB for the defense Save gone,
the methods they have employed, the
practices they have Invoked are a
chame on the name of justice. A
fair and impartial trial is the end
and aim of the law. A fair and 1m
partial trial for all defendants is the
object , for which courts and laws
are Instituted. That is the end and
all that Is contemplated under the
Judicial system. To secure such
trial and no more should be the
guiding motive of the presiding
Judge and of counsel, whether for
the prosecution or defense. The
lawyer who goes beyond this limit
stsps at once into the dirty mire of
unprofessional practice. He vio
lates the known spirit of Justice
and, if a lawyer for the defense, be
comes at once an aider and abettor
of crime.
In San Francisco the real spirit of
justice is wholly prostituted by coun
eel for the defense In the Ruef case.
The effort is not to secure a fair
trial, but to prevent it. The en
deavor is not to secure Justice, but
to abort it. The purpose is not to
facilitate Judicial process, but to ob
struct and aereat it. By proper
usage and a decent respect for the
legal profession, every defendant in
the graft prosecution could long ago
tiavo Kaon falrlv fHori an A San TVarv
. Cisco could long ago have been freed
from the strife that how divides her
. and the nasty odium that is her
shame. Justice could have been
.' done each defendant according to
blB merits and the city have been
spared the reign of nightmare that
13 almost without precedent or par
alleL San Francisco would have re
mained in the public mind as a city
Of peace and order instead of a mael
strom of disorder, strife, graft and
revolution. It fails of this because
of the unprofessional practices of
members of a profession that by rea
' son of Its prominence ought to be an
honorable example before all men.
The spectacle of leading members of
the profession accompanied to and
from court by a procession of armed
guards, -mounted and on foot, is its
own comment.
, Oregon can point with pride to a
better condition. Her, courts of
justice are courts of Justice and or
derly procedure- Jler Jurisprudence
rests oa foundation of honorable
men, and its sanctity is sealed with
a long line of worthy tradition.
There is no" excuse for the Sugar
trust's Insistence on a duty on

AN EUPORTAXT AMENDMENT.
T
HE Oregon & Washington Lum
ber Manufacturers' association
is preparing to bring influence
to bear upon congress, and
especially upon the senate commit
tee on Interstate commerce, to pass
at the coming session of congress
the Fulton amendment to the inter
state commerce law providing, in
substance, that the Interstate Com
merce commission may, on com
plaint being made, suspend railroad
tariffs and Investigate advances in
rates as to their reasonableness, be
fore they become operative.
This amendment, and this action
on the part of the Oregon & Wash
ington Lumber association which
is being seconded by other similar
associations throughout the country
was prompted by the unheralded
and unexpected increase of rates on
lumber from Oregon and Washing
ton to Missouri river points, made
last year by the O. R. & N. and
the U. P. and the Hill roads. This
Increase was so large and so un
prepared for that it largely paralyzed
the lumber industry of this region,
and inflicted immense damage upon
the Industry. The lumbermen ap
pealed to a federal court, which
held th, this action of the railroads
was unlawful, unless sanctioned by
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion, but then the railroads refused
to receive shipments. It was shown
on the trial of the case that the old
rate had been in force for years,
and the railroads had never claimed
that It was too low; in fact, one of
their attorneys practically admitted
tnat tne increase was ror trie pur
pose of making the lumbermen di
vide their surplus profits with the
railroads.
This amendment is entirely rea
sonable and Just. It simply pro
vides that the commission shall pass
upon increases of freight rates be
fore they are put into effect, in
stead of afterward. The adjust
ment of rates is the commission's
business; it is composed of a num
ber of impartial experts, who will
decide fairly as between the rail
roads .and shippers. Both sides
should be heard before a change is
made. The proposed amendment is
patterned after the Canadian law,
with which the Canadian railroads
appear to be entirely satisfied. It
would obviate such tedious, vex
atious and expensive litigation as
that of "the two-cent yellow pine
case," in which the final decision
was. reached only after a lapse of
three years.
There Is no good reason why this
amendment should not be passed
early In the session. It was dis
cussed in the last session and con
gress is familiar with it. But the
senate committee looks discourag
ing. Its members are Elkins, Cul
lom, Aldrich, Kean, Dolllver, For
aker, Clapp, Crane, Tillman, Mc
Lawrln, Foster and Newlanda. Of
these all the Republican members
except Dolllver are "Interest" and
"railroad" senators, so that much
effort may be needed to get this
amendment reported favorably, or;re
ported at all. So it would be well
for all people of prominence and In
fluence, as well as for all commercial
and other organizations, to write to
these senators urging them to take
favorable action on this measure. It
is Important to all producers and
Bhlppers, for it applies to fruit and
grain and wool and livestock and all
other products as well as lumber.
ITS LARGER COST
c
OLLEGE EDUCATION costs
more than formerly. It is a
fact that is not widely under
stood, but which Is neverthe
less a fact. The subject was treated
by President Northrop of the Uni
versity of Minnesota In an address
Tuesday before the Educational Con
gress at Walla Walla. He said that
100 years ago "a few class rooms
were all tnat .was required." He
said that "now with laboratories,
equipment and machinery and other
essentials much money la required."
He said that "where formerly a pro
fessor lectured to a class on cjiera
istry now there Is a laboratory Jfn
the recitation room, and that where
the professor performed an experi
ment carefully and with little waste,
students now make experiments un
til they succeed."
Education, in short, is now re
duced to a basis of actual perform
ance, science is no longer learned
In the abstract, but by actual work.
For the mining student there is a
retort aBd the other appliances !n
vogue in the mine itself. The elec
trical engineer In the course of his
studentship mixes his mathematics
with his tools and learns their in
timate relation. At the bench, the
forge and In the physical laboratory
the brain and the hand are trained
together. In a laboratory the agri
cultural student with test tube and
blow pipe becomes carefully Informed
hn the elements of - soils, grains,
grasses, fruits and vegetables: ror
young women the. chemlstryof bread
making and the other' problems of
the "household art acquired - In the
same nractical way. The result is a
practical educational, output for an
intensely practical age. It is a bet-
ter education because It is both
technical, practlcalized and utill-
tartan.
KM it costs money. The machines,
appliances and devices of the labora -
tones, , the chemicals, materials,
forges and tools are a large source
of ' expense, and must be paid for.
uut tneir product is a youth that

ona was a wneedling argument that,
because women sometimes promise
marriage and then change their
minds, legislators under a solemn
pact with the people should break
their pledges. That failed because
a storm of protest has been going
up from the best men in Oregon
... 1
against broken pledges. A final
step ls the attempt to besmear the
personal reputation of Governor
Chamberlain. It ls the same kind
of an attack that was made by Jeal
ous officers In the civil war on Gen
eral Grant, who went on winning I
battles while, skunklike, they plied

it will be everywhere resented, and
the shame of It will fall on those
who pursue it.
Everybody hopes that Mr. Taft
will live to be Inaugurated and to
serve out his term and long there-
v I
after, but death is always a present
possibility to any man, and J. Hamp
den Dougherty, an authority on such
matters, claims in the New York
Times that if Mr. Taft should die
after the meeting of the electoral
college and before the Inauguration,
there Is no provision for supplying
his place. If hla death should occur
before the meeting of the electoral
college, that body would be free to
elect whomsoever it chose; but If
Mr. Taft should die after the elect
oral college had met and before lu
auguratlon, Mr. Dougherty thinks
there would be no president. Prob
ably,- however, the vice-president
elect would be sworn In as such, and
immediately thereafter would take
the office of president. Under cer
tain contingencies the house of rep
resentatives would elect, but thlsl
seems not to be one of them.
