A Notable Misrepresentation.

There exists in the minds Of some
people very erroneous idea relative to
to the qualities necessary for success in
the legal profession. They think it is
only desirable for a lawyer to be smart,
eloquent, ingenious and tricky. Moth
ing could be much farther from the
truth. The most successful lawyer is
the man who is most reliable in all that
he says and does. The leaders of the
bar everywhere are men whose distin-
gushing quality is reliability. Courts
and juries want to know the truth, that
they may render decisions and verdicts
in accordance with their views of
justice and right. They desire correct
information, and the lawyer who can
be relied upon to furnish it, is the man
who has influence. The lawyer who
has never permitted his reputation for
frankness and fairness to be furnished
by trickery or stimulation is assured of
all the success which his diligence and
mental capacity will warrant.

persons, God made persons, were being
circumscribed and trespassed upon by
man made persons, by corporations and
