rolled, whereupon it WAS read the third

| law. Among other things the bill pro-
vides that candidates for admission TO
practice law shall take an oath that they
will do neSfalsehood or consent that any

| for lucre" By implication attorneys are
inclined to act otherwise, and, under the

in Oklahoma truthful and honorable.
