Has government by arbitration come to stay and expand in Connecticut?
The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-06-17

During his long career as lawyer Secretary Shaw gathered large col- lection of incidents grave and gay. One of his stories is of young lawyer who was opposed to a veteran of the bar in an Iowa court. The young man ad- dressed the jury first and in doing so took occasion to initiate well-known mannerisms of the other, such as ad- justing his cuffs, striking an imaginary imperial, etc. This caused considerable laughter in court. When the veteran rose to reply he did not neglect to go through his preliminary motions with even more deliberation and precision than usual. He bowed to the judge and to the jury and then began: Your honor and gentlemen of the jury, that young man acts like good lawyer, but he talks like blamed fool.'
