V The canons of professional ethic adopted by the American Bar Asso ciation at Seattle represent three f effort. They signify that the unwritten code will be replaced by something better defined and pre sumably more binding; that the high , ethical standard alway upheld by the profession at large is intended to be made obligatory upon all 1U mem bers, under penally f practical os tracism. The code a now written conies with the fullest sanction and authority imaginable. The etrengtn and representative character of the committee shaping it may be judged by list of the members: Henry Bt. George Tucker, of Virginia, chairman; l,uclen Hugh Alexander, of Pennsyl vania, secretary; David J. Brewer, of the District of Columbia; Frederick V,-Brown, of Minnesota; J. M. Dick inson, of Illinois; Franklin Ferris, of Missouri; William Wirt Howe, of Louisiana; Thomas H. Hubbard, of New Tork; James Q. Jenkins, of Wis consin; Thoma Goods Jones, of Alabama-'Alton B. Parker, of New Tork; George R.' Peck, of Illinois; Francis Lynde Stetson, of New York, and JBsrn R. Thayer, of Massachusetts. But the bar at large exerc(aed a more direct Influence than would have been possible veil through such a commit tee. Last May the preliminary draft of the canons was transmitted to the members of the national association and the tate associations with an In vitation to criticise. It Is worthy of Dote that with the exception of the canons on contingent fees scarcely any part of the draft encountered ob jections. The committee Itself Ini tiated one Important change by qualifying a declaration that a law yer might defend an accused crimi nal whether or not he knew him to be guilty. These two canons appear In the final draft In amended form. The suffrage of the profession has been obtained and tha code as adopt ed meets with unl versal approval. : Such a code should have the virtual Of. course there are a few whole some platitudes. It Is the duty of the lawyer io r:peci me couri. u is tha duty of the bar to use its In fluence for the selection of Judges by judicial ntnem, rather than from polit ical consideration., a lawyer should not, subject his motives to suspicion y 'paying the Judge marked atten tion. It Is not permissible to secret ly '.' represent conflicting Interests. Money of a client or from a trust fund should nrv r be used by law ers a their own, or comniiriRled with their private funds. Both over charges and undercharges for ser vice arc to be avoided. Stirring up strife and litigation Is not only un professional but Indictable at com mon law. All personalities between lawyers should be scrupulously voided. Somewhat less axiomatic in the dec laration that It Is the right of the lawyer to undertake the Afttniu, of a person accused of rrlme, regard less, of bis personal opinion concern ing tha accused's yuilt; for, otherwise. Innocent persons, victim of suspi cious circumstance, might be dr-nled proper defense. In other words, the lawyer should not set himself up as Judge and Jury unless there Is no chapce whatever of a mistake. This raaoa reminds us, by contrast, of the chapter in Sir Gilbert Parker's power fuj Canadisn novel, "The Right of Way." where Charlie Steele, the bril liant; young lawyer of dissipated I. ..lit.., M . - . . vaampniM tnarile" -gives A? remarkable display of his powers as an advocate. Representing a friendless and moneyless vagrant ac cused of the deliberate murder of a wealthy cltitea and confronted by evidence which might have convicted a a angel. Steele nevertheless procures acquittal. With ple of the utmost Ingenuity, ' enforced and rendered plausible by an argument equally elo quent and compact of logic, he nukes all who Bear kirn incline to strongly doubt, or even ""disbelieve, hi client's Identity with the murderer. But. h t mislead blmselt i. Wfca the trck.a wor' later offers bin thank. .T. T. CAI.DvVTXIi 1). A. lOMMUAS he shows violent repulsion,, '"Get out of my sight," break. from his lips "you're as guilty as hell!" - Upon the- important and long standlng question of contingent fees the 5 code as , adopted provides that "contingent fees, where sanctioned by law, should be under the supervision of tha court. In order that clients may be' protected 'from unjust charges. As originally, reported, the code, .on this point, reads: "Contingent fees lead to many ; abuses.' and wljere sanctioned by law, ahould be under the supervision of the court." ,The preferred form of expression is mere ly a trifle the milder or tha : two, Contingent fee ' are looked,1; at askance, but In view of tha difficulty Impecunious litigants might have to secure justice without them, they are accorded conditional toleration. Tha phrase "where sanctioned by law' lacks definitlvencss. If it means any. thing- more than such sanction as may be Implied from simple non-interfer ence we don't think; it '!' does the judicial supervision requirement If negatived under the mass of existing American law and legal practice. The word "sanctioned" here should pre sumably read synonymous with "per mitted" or "not forbidden," the canon when thus Interpreted convey ing a strong intimation that State statutes might as well as not prohibit contingent feea altogether. The code further admonishes law yers that all attempts to curry favor with Juries by fawning, flattery or pretended solleltude for their person al comfort are unprofessional. Sug gestions of counsel looking to the comfort or convenience of jurors and proposals to dispense with argument should 'be made to the court out of the Jury's hearing. Both before and during trial a lawyer should avoid communicating: with Jurors, even as to matters foreign to the cause. The publication or circulation of ordinary business cards Is the recognised pro fessional method of advertising:. Solic itation of business in any manner, whether through advertising, person al communications or "strikers," is unprofessional. It is improper for a lawyer to assert in argument his per sonal belief In his client's Innocence or In the justice of his cause. News paper publications by lawyers as to pending or anticipated litigation should be carefully auarded Test they interfere with a fair trial. The code concludes with this canon, entitled 'The Lawyer's Duty in the Last Analysis": No client, corporate or Individual. however powerful, nor any cause, civil or political, however important,, is entitled to receive, nor should any lawyer render any service or advice Involving disloyalty j to tne law wnexe ministers we are, or ais- renpect of the Judicial office, which we are bound to uphold, or corruption of any person or persons exercising a public of fice or private trust, or deception or be trayal of the public. When rendering any such improper service or advice, the law yer invites and merits stern and Just con demnation. Correspondingly, he advances the honor of the profession and the best interests of his client when he renders service or gives advice tending to impress pon th client and his undertaking exact compliance with the strictest principles of moral law." If any lawyer hereafter does not know how to behave, it will ; hardly be the American Bar Association's fault nor, ours. IT WILL NOT BE ENFORCED. Under the New York anti-bucket hop law, effective to-day, a ban is ahupon all contracts for the sale stocks, bonds or commodities wherein both the parties thereto in tend that such contract shall or be rmlnated, closed or settled accord ing to or upon the basis of the pub lic market quotations of prices made on any board of trade or exchange upon which such commodities or se curities are dealt In, and without in tending a bona fide purchase or sale of the same." All places In which contracts here defined are made be come bucket hops under the law and fine or Imprisonment Is liberally decreed. Of course the law's pro visions will not be fully enforced. If the prospect were otherwise, the New York stock exchange and the New York cotton exchange, the latter par ticularly, would to-day face the alter native of changing their methods be yond easy recognition or else pre paring to suffer a bucket shop raid. Mr. Philip H. Gadsden, of Charles ton, famous throughout the country as the winnor of the Gander and the Hen In the Charleston raffle held at The Observer's instigation, has been appointed special financial agent of tho Democratic national committee for South Carolina. Chairman Mack's object, of course. Is to draw tho wad-loosening North Carolina birds from retirement. After har vesting otherwise unobtainable South Carolina campaign contributions the new appointee and his assistants should be given a wider field of use fulness. If they are, wa shall ex tend a prtssingly cordial Invitation to Include Charlotte In the itinerary. The identity of the man who shot Charles B. Roberts, of Baltimore, while he was riding on the Atlantic City board walk with Mrs. W, S, O, Williams, also of Baltimore and, like himself, genuinely prominent, con tinues to provide the them of many a newspaper story. It has been definitely established, that Mrs. Wil liams' husband was not tha shooter. The remainder Is conjecture, v May this remainder prove small. Cotton futures and spots are now only about three-quarters of a cent apart It may be accepted as a fact that the recent heavy rainfall over the Carolines and hither-Georgia did th cotton .crop, except here and there, no very great damage. ; " J .

It Does Not Compare With Miss Pe terson's Best But la a Good First- Attempt Effusion It is IllstorlraL Biographical, . Theological and Op- mm sue. r .--.. Te the Editor of Th' Observer: i, Knowing your fondness for real poetic gems, I enclose you a clipping from one of our home papers. Of course It being of an obituary nature it would seem sacrilegious to place it on your literary, dissecting- table. and I am sure that your keen ap preciation of the propriety of such matters would keep you from flolng so. it occurred to me that In vour rambling" excursions Into the fields and woods to. gather the flowers. where so many are born to blush unseen and mingle their sweetness in the desert air, this one"' might es cape your all-discerning eye; and,, if so, you woaia lose so much. Permit me to add that this may be, tha first attempt of "Teacher" to ride Pega sus (and it will be unkind to hope it may do the last), and while you can not place it in the same class with Kiplina-'s "The Recessional," or Mil ton's "Paradise Lost," still you must admire the courage of the. author, as wen as tne sublime indifference to. and utter defiance of, metre, rhythm and an rules of 'versification. Does not a genius make his own rules any how? as Butler says, after all. a rhetorician's rules serve but to name the writer's tools, or words to that effect. But this is digressing. The poem speaks for itself and does not require that subtle Intellectuality that one has to have about him when he tries to drink In Robert Brown- ng, or storm at the citadel of our own Emerson. It has in it history, some biography, a little- theology and is as full of optimism as Brvant's Tbanatopsis" or Tennyson's "Cross ing the Bar." What If Pesrasu does sometimes stumble; does not even Homer nodT This is a free country. and he who gets tired of walking may nae, or oeuer still, fly where fancy's feet have never trod. Bacon in his fine "Essay on Death" chooses the plain, prosaic path. "Teacher" chooses another way, and, in either case, we are heirs of a rich heritage wnich we may not fully appreciate; and, after all the critics have had thlr way, may we not look back over the stretch of years and see a woman criticised for doing something to show er love tor the Master; and at the same time hear a voice down the ages saying, "Let her alone; she hath one what she could." Yes, wo have cause to be thankful. While the cap tains and the kings of literature de part, the minor poets, like the poor, we hav with us always, and when soever we will w may listen to the dulcet tones as the song swells Into one grand symphony. "H." Durham, August 80, ltOI. IN MEMORY OF ETHEL ROGERS. These lines are to the memory of Ethel Whose life on earth wa brief; Summoned by death at tho age of four teen, Leaving many heatt itrjckened with grief. She had auffered with fever about one week ' When the Master called her home; But there was a smile upon her cheek When we laid her away In the tomb. To teacher he was always polite. And with her brilliant mind She always tried to do the right; To playmates she wt vary kind. Why she was taken we cannot know; But we all are like inklng sand. When the Shepherd want th sheep to go He Just take away th lamb. The grave to her la only a resting place While her spirit has blumsd its wing And took Its flight-to eternal bliss, Where th holy angel sing. Parents, wipe away fb mourning tear, For there Is a consolation given, Ethel ha left a pur record here And gene te dwell in Heaven. TEACHER. Danger of Leprosy From Infection, Not Contagion. To the Editor of The Observer: For the benefit of those who are greatly concerned over the leprosy case, of John Early, of Washington, latfly of Canton and Lynn, N. C, I would state that three or four years ago, in company with Dr. J. M. Cov ington, Jr., I visited the leper hospital In Havana, Cuba. Without let or hin drance we were permitted to examine about 17 cases from the mildest to the most severe. The Interpreter inform ed us that there was no danger only through tnfeotlon (a break in the skin), no danger by contagion. Rev. Frank filler waa In Havana on the same occasion and reported the trip for Tha Observer and I expect visited the leper hospital. I am not advo cating unrestrained ; companionship with lepers, but state these facts for the comfort of thosa who are anx ious. J. E. KERN, M. D. Lllesville, August 31st. THE SOLITARY REAPER.

"Judgs Mitchell was holding court at Taylorsvllle. Lee Mullls, who had been up many times before, was be fore him charged with retailing and, as usual, was guilty. The jury passed on Lee and the judge sentenced him to a season In Jail. That night. In the county Jail, Lee wrote the following lines: " 'Here's to the water that runs en the wheel, And death Is something we all must feel; If health were a blessing that money could buy, The rich, would all live and th poor all die.'" ... "The verse was handed. to the Judge after court convened the next day, the sheriff tendering It with the com pliments of Mullls. Judge Mitchell slid his large glasses out en the end of his nose so he could see over them, as many men of dignified bearing did In those' days, read the poem, -cabled the officer to him and said: 'Sheriff, go and discharge Lee MuUls; damn my soul If the poet laureate of Alexander county shall languish in prison' " THE NEGRO AND THE GHOST."
