Yale law school. The subject of Prof.
Emmett's paper was Legal Education in
England Both at Oxford and Cambridge,

pied a most important and leading posi-

edge of its history and principles and an
acquaintance with at least some portion of
the Digest of Justinian. The effect of this
training upon successive generations OF
English lawyers, in Prof. Emmett's opin-
ion, was impossible to overestimate, and
he thought that there was no more en-
couraging sign in connection will tho
present position of legal education on both
sides of the Atlantic than the firm and
assured position which the study OF the
Roman law now enjoys, not only In the
great universities of England and Scotland,
but also in several of the universities in
the United States. Concluding, he said:
III we can show that the study of law.
when rightly pursued, is liberalizing and
not a purely technical study we shall in
that way have done a service not only to
the profession to which We are allowed to
belong, but also to society at large.

LEAVES ROOM FOR FRAUD
South Dakota People See Danger in Recent
Legislation.
FEATURE or LOANS ON COUNTY LANDS
state Liabl to Lose Money Bcioneinp
to the Educational Fund IL
the system IL Not linz
proved

PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 20.-(Special)-
The legislature last winter, on the recon-
mendation OF Land Commissioner Ruth,
passed a bill requiring that whenever any
lands on which there have been loans of the
state educational fund. are in default, the
land shall be bid in In the name of the state
of South Dakota. Prior to that time, lands
in default were to be bid in in the name of
the county in which the loan had been made.
This change might be all right in case the
original act for the investment OF the per-
manent fund had been further amended to
place all loans on land subject to approval
by the land commissioner, or his agent.
AS the law stands at present, the board of
county commissioners pass upon a loan, and
in case of default the state takes the land
for the claim, The vicious phase of the
law as it now stands is that many counties
in the more sparsely settled portions of
the state assess their lands at from three
to four times the amount they would sell
for, at the best possible bargain which could
be secured. The law providing for invest
ment of the fund allows loans to be made
up to onelhalf the assessed price of the land,
and where commissioners are working for
favors they might be induced to loan to
favorites. the full limit on assessed value
which would be far above true value, and
when the land was forced upon the state
by default, there would be a loss. Before
the change, IL tho county bid in the tract,
the loss if any would be to the county, and
not to the fund,
While there have yet been no foreclosures,
and the different counties are keeping up
their interest to the state, some of them
are doing 1t out of their general funds, the
borrowers being in arrears to the counties,
and there is at any time an emergency sale
likely to arise. OF course, in case there
should be any loss to the fund in this man
ner. the state would be compelled to make
it good from the general fund, but that
would be an injustice to compel counties
which were doing the fair thing, in the way
of loans to make up losses in counties where
the loans had been manipulated. While
under the old system wherever the counties
did not act squarely, they were compelled
to make up the loss themselves.

UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug, 20
Mr.. Bryan himself smiled this morning
and said: 81 am not bothering about New
York democrats. Everything will be all
right" Late last might Mr.. Elliott Dan
forth. Of the New York organization. visited
MIR. Bryan: II is proposed that Mr.. Bryan
visit Albany. and Mr. Bryan has been in
vited to meet a number Of democrats at
Winiesook lodge in the Catskills, presided
over by Chairman Hinkley of the demo-
cratic state committee. These significant
facts are coupled with the arrangement
today Of a new western itinerary that in
cludes several points in New York state.
This new itinerary includes, after the Erie
speech on the 26th, these points: Speak in
Buffalo the evening of the 9th, and in
Medina. N. Y, the afternoon Of the 2Sth,
spending the evening at Niagara Falls.
Go to Hornellsville by way of Buffalo on
the goth, Saturday, and speak in Hornells-
vile In the afternoon. Then go to James
town in the evening and direct to Chau-
tauqua where Sunday will be spent. On
Monday, August 81, Mr.. Bryan will go
direct to Cleveland, where he Will speak
in the evening, Tuesday he will go to
Columbus. o., speaking there the evening of
the LIST of September, and at Toledo on
the I'd. The evening of the Sd he will
speak in South Bend. Ind, and September
4 will be spent in Chicago at the national
headquarters.
Mr.. Bryan does not expect to speak in
Chicago. The morning Of the 9th Mr..
Bryan will leave for Nebraska over the
Burlington road. making no stops. He
says his speeches in all the places men
toned will be very brief.
Late last evening when +. Elliott Dan
forth of New York called to see Mr.. Bryan
and waited some two hours for him to re-
turn from a days outing, he said it was
a friendly call and Mr.. Bryan reiterated
it; but as Upper Red Hook is some eight
miles from a small station where there
are few trains, and as Mr.. Danforth saw
Mr.. Bryan in New York six days ago, con-
illusions are rather inevitable that the
visit had some political significance.
Mr.. Danforth, when asked the question
of state support of Mr.. Bryan by the demo-
cratic party. said tersely: The demo-
Gratis of New York will support him, l
have no doubt, but the active work will
not begin until our convention meets at
Buffalo"
The second surprise came this morning
when a son of Chairman Hinkley came here
with an urgent personal letter from his
father inviting Mr.. Bryan to. visit the
camp in the Catskills, where are gathered
a number of prominent democrats. When
the messenger had gone Mr.. Bryan said
that he had practically decided to accept
the invitation and would spend a night
over there before leaving for the west.
