Lieutenant Governor Jones Opens the
Lawyers Doctors Meeting.
In the meeting Of the Medico- Legal
Society in Steinway Hall in New York
yesterday Lieutenant Governor Jones, of
Albany was present as guest, and was
invited to become the temporary presiding
officer. He accepted and made a rattling
speech, in the course of which he went
for the members Of the Bar in half play
full, half-serious fashion. His remarks
made something Of a sensation. Here are
some of the things he said -
I'VE hear of no communistic demands
for an equal distribution of this species Of
property Qknowledgel knowledge forms
no trusts Great corporated bodies can
not control it; neither is it within the
province of syndicates Combines are
futile to prevent It's acquisition. Legis-
lative enactments are powerless to pre-
vent its acquisition.
Speaking of Medicine and the law in
their relation to each other and their
value to society he said some sharp
things
IF there were no differences of opinion
doctors might thrive upon the weak
nesses Of our frail bodies, but lawyers
would starve, for it is upon disagreement
they exist. We have heard it intimated
that some of low degree have engenderei
strife and have even gone so far as to
counsel law breaking that they might
profit thereby. But who ever heard Of a
doctor that advised a violation OF the
laws Of nature that he might have a
patient TO cureG
aAs between the doctor and the lawyer
we may respect and admire the learning
Of the latter, but when 1t comes to the
question Of next friend. it is the doctor
who holds the place. Perhaps we coulC
get along-and If it were not for tn,
presence in which / stand / might ven
ture the opinion that we should be better
off-without lawyers. We love our doc
tor. Who ever loved his lawyer.
eve are warned against plutocracy
and the influence of money in public
affairs. But the wealth of the Indies
would be Of little account were not its
operations guided by legal science. Am
wrong in saying that the
legal profession is the power that
controls in public af7airs everything
from the machinery of government down
to the most trivial details OF citizenship
In the increase of its power it has gradu
ally assumed a fearful responsibility
nothing short of the stability of oui
government itself.
Medicine and law. Their relation each
TO the other in modern civilization is very
close. The result OF your deliberations
will be firmer alliance. from which eacE
