LAWYERS IN THE LOBBY.


Opinions On Various Matters Need OF An.
other Judge illustrated.
In the lobby Of the Grand Central hotel
yesterday a number Of disciples OF Black
stone were discussing matters brought out
at the semi-annnal bar association meeting.
In relation to the resolution adopted, re-
qnesting the coming legislature IN take
some action on the cOdihcatiOn OF the laws
for the benefit of the bar and courts OF The
territory, Bozeman lawyer remarked that
such action would be useless In view OF the
fact that We shall merge into state within
a year, or nearly 50 lie thought the com.
mittee appointed for the purpose should be
requested Ia dlshand and not present the
resolution tO,the legislature For the same
reason he considered IL needless 10 endeavOr
Ia have another or several judicial districts
created and Judges appointed.
Another view NJ this question was that
the evil and criminal code could be started
On Immediately, M these would not be
changed when Montana shall be made a
| state. The only change would be the ten.
ure Of Office code, In which the lenath OF
terms OF office might be changed and the
titles Of courts altered. BY having the first
mentioned codes prepared for the printer a
great saving of time would be made In the
completion Of the work

about by the fact that the case In ques

former" IL would be well to consider that
there are two sides TO all questions The
people have been brought up TO the idea
that the saloon is an institution Of the
country and that the liquor dealers demand
that no law shall be- passed that will inter
fere with their traffic; and this is the re-
suit OF toleration ON the part of professed
Christians and craven cowardice on the
part OF Legislators. Mep who are pillars in
the churches foster this iniquity by ballot.
Then they go to prayer meeting and pray
to be delivered from this iniquty. Out
upon such hypocrisy. Let some Of the
clergy who accept license as measure OF
reform take into consideration the fact that
license, high or low, has been denounced
by the temperance people as "sinfui,
Vicious In principle, and powerless as a
remedy" There Is not well Informed
brewer OF distiller In the United States
that does not advocate high license. Let
the clergy come out from among them
and then the temperance people will rally
around them.
