 that "the laborer is worthy of hi
 hire," you would pay him such wage
 as that kind of work is reasonably
 worth. Lawyers making a speciality O
 this class of business always expect re
 ward and in rare cases should receive
 small compensation. If all men ant
 corporations could and would live uI
 to the plain principles of the Colder
 Rule, court business would be greatly
 limited and lessened. But in this hus ] ting, busy world, with all of it's grea | business ramifcations and complica- tions tangled questions arise, and at | torneys must necessarily be consulted
 and employed ito unite the knots and
 solve the enigmas of the law" From the discipline inevitably required in
 these great struggles of intellectual 1 force, the legal fraternity becomes llb- eral, minded, and broad-thinking,
 and fitted for greater and broader fields of usefulness.
 Consult the history of this country,
 and then tell me what profession has creditably filled more of the honorable positions in the nation and the state than our fraternity. They have not fought all the battles but they have largely controlled and guided the great
 machinery of this government, in times
 of war and of peace. They have not
 always carried the sword, worn the
 epaulette, or commanded the armies,
 but they have been in command of the
 great master-springs of this nation, and
 by wise counsel and discreet action
 have largely contributed in making it one of the grandest and most powerful upon the face of the globe. In my day and time that great emancipator of four millions of people, that man who did more than any other to keep the United States upon the map of the world, was lawyer. Every chief mag istrate of this nation, with one excep- ton, since the days of the lamented Lincoln, has been lawyer. That sil- ver-tongued orator who met With an honorable defeat in the last presidential campaign, is a lawyer, whose private character is as pure as gold. That old soldier, that Christian statesman, who stands at the head of this great nation tonight, I am proud to say Is from the profession of law. Connecticut is mighty and powerful to-day in the United States senate because of her representation there by able, honorable, conscientious lawyers.
 The pure and upright administration of justice is a matter of the greatest importance to every individual. Who shall be president, governor, mayor, and the like, what disposition shall be made of the great political questions of the day, are matters having q general bearing upon the business interests of this country, state and city. But the wise and proper settlement of these im- portant questions affecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. is a matter that comes directly home to every door.
 Gentlemen, you cannot fully realize the responsibilities resting upon your Judiciary. The disposition of these questions, affecting persons and things, requires stern hand, and nerves of iron. It is a satis- faction to know that my decisions are not always final and conclusive; that by appeal to our court of last resort, my judgments may be reviewed, and, if necessary, corrected The supreme court is an august tribunal, command ng the entire confidence of the people. One of the members of this high and ! important tribunal horlors this occasion | 1y his presence. He is an enlightened ' md high-ninded jurist, who adminis- | CTS justice with clean hands and pure 1eart-one who fully adorns and appro- ,riately illustrates the sentiments of | ny toast--a typical lawyer, a typical Tale judge--the Honorable Simeon B. Baldwin.
 Colonel N. G. Osborn responded to the oast, "The Mutual Obligations of the and Journalism" Colonel Osborn in the course of his remarks aid that one thing that was expected f President Hadleys administration vas that he would send out men who would be far more than ever strong nen. who would stand for God. for ountry, and for Yale.
