THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW IN ENGLAND. Arthur Newton, the London attorney who defended Dr. Hawley II. Crippen on the charge of murdering his wife so that he could marry his typist, Ethel Leneve, was found guilty of unprofessional conduct by the Law bo:iety and was suspended from the practice for one year. Newton's offense was that he conducted the case largely for the purpose of making copy for the newspapers and not with a view purely to save Crlppen from Jail. - Justice Darling in commenting on the case said: "The case disclosed the gravest state of affairs, absolutely Inconsistent with the public advantage. That a eolicltor should lend himself to such practice is a grave "offense and the newspapers connected with the affair deserve punishment equally with Newton." There is a certain class of lawyers In this country who try their cases In the newspapers. This is especially true In the larger cities. Certain lawyers are notorious because of their efforts to bring out sensational testlmony that will make good newspaper copy and advertise themselves. The attorney for "Jocko" Briggs, the notorious murderer, through his connivance with one of the yellow newspapers of Chicago, succeeded in securing the acquittal of this low browed thug who afterwards spent a great deal of his time in the red light district of West Hammond. The case of Evelyn Arthur See has been tried in the newspapers to a certain extent and the court has permitted court rcom photographs and other "stunts" that would not be tolerated in an English court. The charge has been made that the Knotts conspiracy cases were tried

on the streets of Valparaiso where sentiment in favor of Knotts was created

for the purpose of indirectly Influencing the Jury. While this paper believes in the fullest publicity in criminal cases, in the Interests of the public good, a little of Justice Darling's stern dicipline would go a long way towards securing Justice. There is so much of a tendency to try the other lawyer

try the prosecuting witness, try everybody but the defendant that if the mojesty of the law is to be recognized in this country, there will have to be

a radical reform In the practice In our

BRYAN'S PARK IDEA EXCELLENT.

L. A. Bryan's plan for a Calumet

river is an excellent one and deserves the co-operation of the city of Hammond aid the country districts to the south of that city. Through the city of Gary the Little Calumet river has no natural beauty, but through the recently annexed portion of Hammond the river's winding

three miles of length presents some of Northern Lake county.

In Hammond the banks are from ten to twenty feet above the normal river level and are covered with groves of oak and hickory trees. If a strip along either side of the river were condemned for park purposes the opportunity to Jay out a wide riverside drive would give Lake county one of the prettiest

highways in this part of the country.

The people of North and Calumet townships must look forward to and prepare for the time when there will be 1,000,000 people in two townships. When

this time comes the territory south of the class residential district of the entire

Looking forward to this time, it would be the part of wisdom to purchase this beautiful river frontage now and hold it for public use until such a time

as the wealth of the community will

purposes. Then all of the territory south of the river should be platted with some idea of uniformity and in time the fertile slope southward to the Ridge

road will be the site of hundreds of splendid suburban homes.

People in Gary think in big figures, but there are public-spirited men In Hammond who are big enough to give such plans as seem practical the stamp of their approval. . THE TIMES has pointed out that the cities of the Calumet region must begin to work together in the matter of laying out parks and inter-city boulevards and Bryan's plan offers a good illustration of this idea.

WHY THE LACK OF INTEREST? It is to be regretted that the shooting tournaments which are held from time to time in various parts of the county, are not appreciated as much as they should be. In other words the public is delinquent when it comes to attendance. There is no more interesting nor profitable sport than being a member of a gun club. For a recreation it is in the class of any. Interest is continual and there is absent that wear and tear that comes from pursuit of other sports. Yesterday's tournament at Gary was very poorly attended. Later on there will be some more of the shooting events and if you wish to see some clean, wholesome sport, a gun club gathering is the place where It is to be had. A man cannot make a presentable showing as a shot unless he has a clear e$ye and sharp attention. He must be in good physical trim and therein lies the sport's true value.

They rushed at him as soon aa he set foot in the lot. The boy's cries brougnt .lizah Philebaum, but even the farmer, armed with a heavy cudgel, was no match for tha maddened animals. His brother, Marshall Philabaum, and Edward Tag came to the rescue. Not until knocked senseless with stout clubs did the sows give up the fight. When the boy was picked out of the dirt he was frightfully disfigured. DRAGGED A MILE BY COLTS. George Benton, age sixty-nine, a farmer near Muncie, was almost Instantly killed yesterday.

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAJVIEROIV

"I am utterly discouraged. I've tried so hard to please him and I know he isn't satisfied." So a young business woman bewailed to me the other day. "Why so? Has he found fault with you?" I asked. "No-o," she said slowly after a moment of brow-knltttng retrospection. "I don't know that he has. But I don't believe he has said a word of praise for weeks and weeks. And I've tried so hard to do everything just as he wants it." And then I quoted to lier, and now take occasion to pass on to you you, meaning all her brothers and sisters who feel discouraged because someone hasn't said a word of praise for ever so long In spite of their painstaking efforts to please something which my first employer once said to me under similar circumstances. He had praised something that I did and I said to him, "Oh, I am so glad you told me that. You haven't said you liked any of my work for weeks and weeks and I was expecting to be discharged almost any day." "Miss Cameron," said this editor, "let nje tell you something that will be good for you to keep in mind all your life. You can be practically sure that if the man you are working for doesn't any kicking he's pretty near satisfied. Silence with most employers means content." I can't tell you how much worry

BY THE FOREST FIRES killer I've squeezed out of that sentence since. . And I pass It on to you because the whole experience of my life has proven It true. You think even If It is true It isn't 'a proper state of affairs? You think your employer ought to remember to praise as freely as he i blames? Quite so. And yet. is he different from the rest of us human beings, who take our blessings in acquiescent silence, but remember to kick most vociferously about our troubles? You see your success satisfactory work is his blessing. Your mistakes and failures are his crosses. His very silence Is a sort of tribute to the habit you have gotten him into of expecting good work from you. Of course, there are some employers as there are some men and women who take as much note of their blessings aa of their crosses. Unfortunately these are he exception. So cheer up, little business woman and all your brothers are sisters In discouragement. If you are doing your best work, you haven't any reason to worry over lack of praise. Just take it from me that with most employers "slle neceam ETAOINUN no employers "silence means content" and "no comment Is good comment." RUTH CAMERON.
