Dspsw on the Americun Lawyer.

Senator Chauncey M. Depew has this
to say of the American lawyer:
HE Is q man Of peace, but he Is
also a man of action. His courage is
exhibited both in resisting popu-
lar clamor and in leading patriotic en-
thusiasm. He formulated the demands
which led to the Revolution. and when
nothing but war could secure them he
enlisted in the Continental army. The
lawyers did their best to settle the con-
troversies between the North and the
South. but when only the bloody arb,t-
rament Of arms could decide the con-
test, in proportion to their numbers
more lawyers enlisted in the Union and
Confederate armies than came from
any other vocation or calling This is
lawyers government"
