IS THE LAW PLAYING OUT?

A good many young men are still
studying law. 1t is surprising that par
ents do not remark that the practice of
law is playing out. People are becoming
too smart to go to law. Three or four
lawyers have left Atchison lately, and
others are starving. Arbitration beats
law.-Atchison Globe.
Year after year the brightest young
men turned out by the colleges and uni
yersities of the land have poured into
the profession of law. Ii a young man
has displayed in the debating society of
the academy gift of gab,' without
any particular tendency to piety. he has
been set down at once by his fond pa
rents as born for the law. Teaching,
journalism. sometimes the church, have
been in a measure training schools for the
law. The law has been regarded as the
road alike to material success, assured
standing in the community and to poiit-
zeal preferment More than any other
profession it has levied tribute upon ali
callings for the men who have followed
it. In view of all this the paragraph
from the Globe, written in sober earnest,
is worthy of serious consideration.
There are not wanting in this State
men who have made the same Observa-
ton as the Globe. We have in mind
several of the oldest and most distin-
guished lawyers in the State, men who
are still Fetainedsin the most important
litigation, who have declared that the
palmy days of the law are past.
Whether they, with the Globe, are
right in this we do not prerefd to know.
but it is at least matter to be thought
on by the young men Of today, and by
their parents, who are casting about for
q life work. BY no means all the men
who follow the law in this State are
Cokes or Marshalls but the standard OF
its bar is comparatively high. We doubt
that in that profession, the character Of
the men who compose it being consider
ed, the returns, taken as a whole, are
rs large as in some less learned bni
equally honorable callings.
Lawyers and good lawyers the State
will and must have, but the young men
who are choosing callings Mt the present
time would do well to take thought
whether larger measure of usefulness
10 the State and of returns to them
selves does not offer in the application
of their talents and energies to our
boundless raw and undeveloped resour-
ces. In the hundred and one forms that
this development must take there is
not only room but a crying need for
young men Of that degree Of energy, de-
termination and culture that will COM
mand even a tolerable success in the law.
