thirds of the membership of both
branches Of congress are lawyers.
There is one vacancy in each house at
present. This preponderance of law
yers is one of the heaviest ever known.
The history of the legislative branch
of the government shows that men,
bers of the legal profession always
have been practically favored by the
people in choosing lawmakers, and it
would seem from the ordinary view
point of such matters, that the stat
utes ought to be so perfect as to need
no Interpretation by the courts. Yet
litigation is more f1ourishing in this
country than in any other country of
the world. Nor does any other coun-
try in the world depend so much upon
lawyers for the making of it's laws as
does this. The parliaments of. Europe
are not now, and without notable ex-
ception, never have been, so dominated
by lawyers. Old world legislators are
chosen from every department Of &C
tivity. Laborers, artisans, musicians,
artists, cab drivers, men skilled and
unskilled in the professions abound

in the parliaments on the other side
of the Atlantic. Ard we do not hear
that the laws of Europe are any the
less skillfully drawn than in the Unit
ed States. It may be that the lawyers
in this country are more ambitious
for parliamentary careers than are
those of Europe, or that the people Of
the United States, for no apparent rea-
son, prefer members of the bar as
lawmakers to men in other callings.
Whatever is the reason of the prepon-
derance of the legal professions in our
legislative bodies, the fact is obvious
that this preponderance is increasing
rather than decreasing. And it can
not be claimed that the statutes now
show more wisdom or perfection than
they did at the earlier stages of the
nations history, when lawyers were
not so much in evidence in the law
making bodies as at present.
