WHAT MAY A LAWYER DO ?'.'
PRESIDENT BUSHELS ADDRESS.

We invite the special attention OF all
our readers to the address OF Hon. Chas.
NJ. Busbee, president, delivered at the
! North Carolina Bar Association at Ashe-
vile yesterday 1t will not only interest
lawyers. but business men, farmers ana
mechanics as we'll. 1t is able, timely
and interesting.
There is no community III North caro-
lima in which members of the bar do not
stand in the front ranks for every good
cause and progressive movement But
it is likewise true that the standing OF
the profession has been lowered i'll popu-
lar estimation because it takes no steps
to disbar unworthy members, because
not few of it's ablest men are the part
ners or agents of trusts or combina-
lions seeking special privilege, and be-
cause there is too much of the specula-
tive spirit in the profession. Mr. Bus
bee, an honored member of an honored
profession, while glorying in the proud
position of the bar of North Carolina,
does not shut his eyes to the presence of
evils that have brought loss of prestige
to the profession He speaks Of them
plainly, regretfully, and points out the
way by which the evils may be remedied
and the bar purged of unworthy mem
bers. 1t is a manly, refreshing, straight
forward presentation of conditions which
have long been talked about by the peO-
pie. 1t is time the lawyers should quit
putting their head in the sand, ig-
noring the evils pointed out by Mr.. Bus
bee and taking steps to make such crit
icsms impossible.
Comparatively few lawyers are guilty
of drumming for business, of doing the
money to use their political influence.
But there are enough to make it proper
for the Bar Association to call halt,
and define what lawyer may or may not
do. Has he a right to take money to
press the claims of q candidate for of
fee? If so, the people ought to know
how low the profession has sunk. Has he
n right to seek and obtain a Legislative
nomination in order to serve his rich
clients who want special legislation?
LAWYERS in North Carolina-not many
have sunk that low. Has he right to
haunt legislative corridors and for pay,
pretending to be disinterested adviser
of the party or public-spirited citizen of
the State, seek to advance measures that
give some advantage to his clients?
Such reprehensible practise has been
known in this State Has he right to
employ runners, to solicit business, to
encourage speculative litigation? This
is said to be too common. Has he
right to seek to influence the selection
of jurors and otherwise tamper with the
administration of justice, having a fol-
lowing of vassals who will serve him on
juries regardless of the weight of testi
hony? 1t is said that some lawyers
have used such methods and agencies in
tbAr practice &

of the State committee, chairman of the

The City Council took q shortcut
Monday night, to allow wheelmen the
use of certain sidewalks, during the in
clement months. The release appliel
to the north side of all streets running
east and west, except Fourth street,
between Columbia and Jefferson, and
the west side OF all streets running
north and south, except on streets
where good bicycle paths are to be
found, and on Main street between
Third and Eighth. The surprising
part Of this action is not so much that
the privilege is extended as the ex.
peditious manner OF letting down the
bars to nulify an ordinance, guarded
in its enactment by all the prescribed
forms OF statute law. If the pro.
visions of an ordinance may be changed
or suspended, by a motion or resol u
ton, what is the object of surround
ing statutory enactments by certain
arbitrary forms, which constitute the
essence OF their legality, based upon
organic law, the source OF all authority
in municipal legislation?

The city has made q contract with

garded as a good deal for the people,
a. the rate is the minimum figure for
a like service on the Coast. The com.
pany reserves the right to omit the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der, when the water of the Deschuttes
river is at it's lowest stage and some.
times renders the power less than is
required by the car and light service
combined. The lights under the new
contract will be distributed as follows:
Second and Ounce, Second and Plum,

Westside TO be placed, Sixteenth and
