The programmes who made such a
transparent. conspicuous and bungling
failure Of their attempt to run" the
lawyers meeting at the Judiciary
Building on Saturday last were busy.
after the appearance of the Advertise
er's report Of the ridiculous affair
trying to explain. They proved rather
weak pleaders in their own behalf and
were very generally "in merriment."
However, they promised to do better
tomorrow afternoon, when an attempt
Is to be made to perfect organization
of Bar Society and when all the in
side pocket resolutions are to be
brought forth. Effort is being made
to secure representative attendance.
BY direction Of the Saturday meeting
the secretary is giving personal noti-
fication of the next session to all per-
sons enrolled as members of the bar.
II has been threatened by several of
the chagrined ones that reporters will
be excluded from the next gathering.
No matter how close the affair, the Ad-
vertiser, which was the only paper
represented at the first meeting. may
be depended upon to give correct ac-
count Of the second. In this journal
yesterday morning the Impressions of
a layman were presented. Here Is
what W. Horace Wright, who has been
"a member of the Hawaiian bar since
1889, expressed concerning the meet
inH in the paper with which he is con-
nected:
"In this country where every mansis
entitled to an opinion and to express
it the resolutions which certain ele-
ment of the Hawaiian Bar are DESTROYS
to have forwarded to the central Gov
eminent, are entitled to fair and cour-

not be allowed to go forth in the name
of the majority of the Hawaiian Bar
until they are credited by the major
Iity of that Bar. The matter Is prac-
tically a personally political and pro-
fessional one with which the commun-
ity as an Independent organization
takes but a trifiing interest and with
which 1t has less to do.
Lawyers, doctors, school teachers
and until more recent modern times
women, have ever been considered the
worst organizers of meetings and as
sociations by assuming knowledge In
which too many Of them are lament,
ably deficient while those who happen
to know anything about the matter are
generally snubbed by those who do not
and consequently let things slide with
smile A glazing instance in point
was the well-meant endeavor to Or
ganize a much-needed Bar Association
on Saturday last when efforts were
continually being made by excited in
dividuals to place the cart before the
horse" ...
| 1T will be seen therefore that with
one exception only one gentleman OF
those present was admitted to practice
prior to the revolution of 1887 and but
four prior 10 the revolution of 1893
The absence of seniors accounts to q
