The Whereas and the Aforesaids

The prominent Whereas and the
Aforesaids-the lawyers-of the
nation have heen holding their
annual convention in Chicago. We
presume these people think that this
yearly pow.wow is in the public in
terests. At least they pretended to
think so. The average lawyer is
full of gall and egotism, He seems
to think that he is the elect. AS one
of these gentlemen said in speech
at the convention, they all appear to
think the lawyer "must necessarily
be first in free and peaceful nation
Great Caesar! What a notion. In O
peaceful community a lawyer starves
to death. 1t is only in the midst OF
turmoil that he gets rich and pom
pous. We are reminded of what the
Glasgow, Mont, Herald said last
week. Speaking of the only lawyer
in the place the paper said that the
community was so peaceful that the
limb of the law could not get a living
and had hired out as an engineer.
The lawyers life work is fight, and
not his own fight, either, but some
body else's fight, in which the lawyer
shoots off the ammunition. The
speaker from whom we have quoted
said further that the lawyer was con-
spicuous in all departments of the
government and that his training and
sense of honor made him an impor..
tant factor in politics. Now we do
not pretend that there are no homo
rable lawyers, but we do say, with
out the fear of being seriously con-
tradicted, that the average political
or partisan lawyer is as tricky as
Satan. The miserable laws that we
have, and which bear so frequently
with unequal pressure upon different
classes, are the work of law-making
lawyers. Glass and cunning legis!a
ton can always be traced to this
element of the law making power,
and there is not o trust in existence
to.day that was not born of the in.
