A Western paper had the following: " A lawyer in a court room may Mil a man a liar, scoundrel, villain or a thief;and no one will make complaint when the court adjourns. If a news- paper man prints such reflections on a man's charactor, there is a libel suit or a dead editor. This is owing to the fact that the people believe what an editor says. •What a lawyer says cuts no figure." L., H. .5r. B.
