81 propose to end as began. by
thanking you sincerely for the conf
dence and support you have given me
In the past. and bespeaking contin-
uance of it in the future. If at the end
of my term can feel that have done

A TALK ON CLIENTS.
Attorney H. B. webber was the hu-
morist of the evening, though there
was more or less humor injected into
all the addresses. He spoke of that
necessary adjunct to the practice of
law, "Our Clients"
The toastmaster then proposed a
toast to Judge George f.. Baldwin, who
Use at present at Nuremberg, Bavaria
1t was drunk standing.
Judge Taylor was next introduced.
He spoke on the subject, ITO the
Judges: Make Your Mistakes Quickly
Mr.. Taylor said:
ut is not great while since on an
occasion like this, when Judge McCarty
had a great many pleasant things to
say in my behalf. I have never had
an opportunity to get even with him
until now, and desire to say that I
have had, always since our association
together, very high opinion of his
ability and integrity as a Judge. His
record Is an open book known and
read by all of you. His diligence
none can question. He retires from
this exalted place full of honors. For
his distinguished successor, l have a
word to say. He has been going in and
out before us-many of us-from his
birth. We know of his honesty, his
learning, his patience, his mercy. That
he will be worthy successor of his
distinguished predecessor We have no
in him, and that he will have the cor
dial support of the bar there is no
question. That means much; without
1t, the judges life Is dogs life. Be-
tween the bench and the bar there
should be the most cordial, respectful

listed here in the past, to the honor
and credit of both bench and bar; that
it will continue in the future there
can be no doubt.
"But, coming now to the subject
which ! have selected as text for a
few remarks. 1t was intended merely
to call attention to the laws delay
There has been much of it in the past,
and when / say that l do not rartic-
ularly mean in this county, but gen.
orally. Justice long delayed is equiv
alept to Justice denied" The laws
delay was one on the sea of troubles
which Hamlet, in his soliloquy thought
il would be well to take up arms
against, and by opposing end it." The
bar. as we'll rs the bench, is respon-
sible, in measure, for the laws delay
1t is better to make few mistakes by
deciding quickly than to withhollrfor
months and months the decision of a
question, a motion for new trial it
may be or some other Important dues
ton in the case, until the anxiety and
uncertainty as to what the decision
may be is more injurious than an ad-
verse decision"

belief that his relations with Judge
Harter would he equally pleasant,
