One-Half The
Lawyers In The
Countty Are
Parasites On
Society
By Dr 3ugh Miller, Geo.
Washington University.
Duo acknowledgement should b '
paid the k gal profession for its ser
vices to civilization in Hie past and
to the high minder) and etlicirn
members of that profession today
I'he profession us a whole, bowew
is all out of joint with the nquirt
ments of our present day civilian
tion. So much so that I I,el lev
that 1-2 the lawyers in the country
are parasites on society and p.<r
form no useful service
To explain this let me say that
congress, composed mostly of law
yers, paid by the public 810,’000 a
year, spend their time piSeiug law s
which they violate every-day, to
gether with a large part of the pop
ulation of the country, Other
lawyers employed by individual
and corporations earn §50,000 a
year and upward by trying to inter
pret or evade the laws which the
first group of lawyers have passed.
In other words, the legal pro
fessipii ■ ?on.of its omdrul vl
■
political and economic machinery,
are playing both ends, against tlie
middle and art fattening them
selves at the expense of the public
Moreover, lawyers, as a rule, talk
too much and act too slowly for
modern conditions Enifineers,
proverbially, talk little, but act
quickly and efficiently.

Low Prices On
Spring Goods
Elsewhere in this issue of The
Liberal will be faund an attractive,
“ad” for that' popular merchant,
Mr. B. H Fudge.
He is offering, at reasonable
prices, a large and varied line of ,
new and fresh spring merchandise,
including anything that the entire
family might need.
It would be useless for us to try
to introduce Mr. B. H. Fudge to
the citizens of this and adjoining
counties, fur they know that he
stands upon honesty and trust
worthinest, as well as giving them
the very best values in clean, fresh
and up-to-date drv goods, ladies’,
gentlemens’ and childrens’ ready
'.o-wear, notions, etc.
He will appreciate your patron
age; and he and every member of
■lie efficient sales force will be
glad to serve yon. Tell them you

Add More Life
To Your Tires
With a little thought you can
add still more to the life of your
tires. Here are a few precautions
to observe that will be well repaid
by the extra lire mileage that you
will gain;
Avoid sudden stops, Do not let
the tires slide along the pavement.
Avoid sharp turns. Taka cor
ners slowly.
Don t bruise a tire by running
into a curb or other obstruction.
Don’t scrape the tires by run
ning too close to a curb.
Keep out of car tracks and deep
ruts.
Repair outs and worn spots
promptly.
Keep tires properly inflated.
Under or over inflat’on is very
■ injurious to a tire. .

deposit to turn over to the county
board for the purpose of building
a court house and jail. They haven’t
met since the money was raised,
and in the meantime a petition has
been circulated, and now has 900
names, asking for an election to
move the county site. It hasn’t
been pr seated to the ordinary,
but will probably be in his hands
in a few days.
The majority of the commis
siouers aren’t in favor of accepting
the money until the people are
allowed to vote on the question
Under what terms the Arlington
people wish to place the money
in the hands of the board is not
known.
