and especially in America. the profess
sion of the law Is the avenue to emf
nent political distinction: and while Il
is true that il Is not in every mans
power to rise to pre-eminence In tho
profession. yet II Is In every mans
power TO attain a respectable position
therein. The American Bar has always
furnished the material for American
