PERILS OF THE FUTURE.
Vice President Stevenson Tells of the
Lawyers Mission.

Vice President Stevenson addressed the
graduates of the Maryland University Law
School at the annual commencement of the
school, which was held last night at Bal
timore.
The Vice President went over from Wash
ington on the private car of Receiver
Cowen of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
The committee which escorted him COM
prised Mr.. Thomas F. Baer, Mr.. William
t. Brantley and Mr.. George w. Williams,
president of the graduating class.
Mr.. Stevenson discussed at some length
the relation Of the lawyer to politics, and
announced his dissent from the teaching
that the lawyer must hold himself aloof
from public affairs Such teaching could
be justified only upon the superstition that
money getting is the highest aim Of those
who enter this noble profession. II 1t be
true that the lawyer has higher aims then
upon his shoulders must necessarily rest
no small part of the responsibilities which
attach to citizenship in a free government
He declared that the doctrine that the fol-
lowers of the law must avoid participation
In public affairs was pernciouS and de-
serving of severe condemnation and traced
to this teaching the fact that politics In our
large cities had reached so low an ebb. II
true that politics has become with q large
class a mere business, has not he asked
the time come when men of greater oppor-
tunitieS and higher aims should exert q
more potent influence in public affairs?
The Vice President sketched briefly the
obstacles overcome by this country, and
prOphesied that the future would present
problems equally as Neutrality-suspicious.
equally fraught with peril to our national
safety. These dangers would not come
from foreign foe or arise along sectional
lines, but would be due. in part, at least,
to the increase of individual fortunes, which
would tend to emphasize the distance that
separates the wealth holders from the toll
ing millions. When that time comes our
protection will depend upon the courts Of
law and upon the lawyers, and then, as in
the past, the lawyer must and will stand
for the existing order of things, for liberty
regulated by law, and it will be his to con-
serve. to strengthen, not to destroy, the
foundations of social fabric. There
could be no excuse either by the one or the
many to override lawful authority, and to
the ballot alone must the people look for
desired

Wanted the Child.

Will!ant and Mary Rogerson and their
handsome little child figured in the Police
Court today IN a case involving alleged
brutality on part of the husband against
the mother. Mrs. Rogerson was very much
excited. while her husband seemed greatly
worried, probably for the reason that he
feared the imposition of a severe sentence.
Three years ago the young couple had
trouble, and at that time the wife's throat
was cut. she says. by her husband. but
their troubles We're ended out of court. The
child. about the possession of whom the
parents had trouble Saturday night, was
the only happy one in the case, with the
exception of Mr.. MUllowny, the prosecut-
ing attorney, and the little one entertained
him while the more serious part of the
case was discussed by the cour. and wit
nasSes.
Several months ago the young couple
separated. and the wife was permitted to
retain possession of the child. Saturday
night they net at River View and had
some words, and WHEN they reached here
the trouble was renewed on the wharf. and
the young wOman's eye was badly discOl-
Ored when she complained to Policeman
Herndon, who made the arrest. She charg-
ed tn 1t her husband had inflicted the
bruise but he denied the charge He said
he did attempt TO get possession of the
child.
Judge Miller told him that he had gone
about mis- undertaking in the wrong way.
If he wanted 10 get the child he should go
TO the proper court. A fine of $40 was i'm
posed

Estimate of Himself

Boston, stood before Judge Kimball this

was entertained in a house in Louise alley
by sophia BraXton. He told OF how he
mad violated the Edmunds law, and COM
planned that while in the house his over
coat was stolen
SOPHIA made a denial of the charge
against her, and said that the man had
been there and paid her for a nights lodg-
ing.

A case which created much interest and
discussion about the Police Court yesterday

according to the story told before Judge
Kimball, that Friday last William Wig

man, Ella Waters, on Brightwood avenue
and suggested that she accompany him
Into the woods nearby, following 1t with a

OF many, escaped with fine Of only $40
Later tho amount was reduced to Sl5
