law Reid Of New York
Mr.. Reid spoke on the ethics of the
legal profession, on the Monroe doctrine
and on auarchism. He quoted an ora
ton by Wendell Phillips and said;
IN that lofty yahala OF which Mr.
Phillips spoke you WI took In vain for
the statute Of the modern ambulance
chaser, or any species Of the modern
speculative suit lawyer. Far less win
you find the tradesman In litigation
who has found ways to combine cham
perty and maintenance with the prac-
tlse Of the courts. Nay you viii not
even find there that sort Of brilliant
corporation lawyer whose practise is
confined TO the teaching corporate
wealth how TO evade the laws OF the
land or that other whose practise lies
In teaching trades unions how TO con-

on the Monroe doctrine. Mr.. Reid
said:
"The things that made the Monroe
doctrine have disappeared. Under sueh
circumstances Il may be easy after a
while for us to look over the Monroe
doctrine again in the light Of the pres
ent situation Of the American continent

China magistrates, rendered It terribly
evident that a struggle against the
menace Of anarchy Is an urgent neces-
city for all governments
They accordingly proposed concert
Of action in measures to check the an

Of the penal code against anarchists
and particularly the expulsion Of an
