stances, out again.
The writer, in the early part Of the
present year, inquired of one Of the mem
/ beTs of the committee on amendment OF
the law Of the Bar Association of the City
OF New York why that committee did
not take more vigorous action toward
having enacted, by the Legislature, GER
tam statutes which would simplify our
practice. He replied in all candor and
truth that the experience Of the commit
tee had shown that over ninety per cent
OF the proposed bills which had come be-
tore It Tor consideration, while ostensibly
Tor the good Of the practice at large or
the public, were conceived in iniquity,
and were designed to accomplish some
selfish purpose on the part Of the drafts
man or those who were pushing the pro-
posed measures
This is doubtless tho true state of the
case, but what comment upon the heads
and hearts of lawyers who are engaged
in this sort Of business!
There is a kind of fooIisness in LAWYERS
which happily applies to very few but is
truly awful to contemplate. Some men
believe that nothing can be accomplished
| by direction; that all Of apparent honor
and reward in this world is achieved by
underhand methods; that it is the part
| Of wisdom to get up sham schemes in or
| der to reap the benefits thereof and
| finally, that those of the profession waose
eyes are not open to the beauties and
I PROFITS of their way of thinking are
| themselves poor, demded creatures One
| illustration Of this must suffice and it
will show to what pernicious effects un-
/ fortunate, though strictly proper. deci-
sions of our highest courts are sometimes
put by those who know how to profit
by them.

a series of cases, beginning with the effort

running about 1000 ahead of his ticket,
and his campaign has been frequently re-
terred to IN New York city as an object
lesson IN energy, independence and the
legitimate use of money in political cam
paign. During the Mayoralty campaign
OF 1901 Mr.. Hill actively supported Ed
ward M. Shepard for Mayor, and became
Secretary of the Committee of Independ

candidacy. He is great believer in the
Democracy of Edward NJ. Shepard and
may always be counted upon as sure adj

During the last few months Mr.. Hill has
withdrawn from active business in New

that his family may reside near the home
of his father-in-law, Mr.. George w.

THE FOOLISHNESS OF THE WISE.
1t is not too much to say that all the
concrete wisdom of the world is to be
found in the heads of lawyers. Every step
in the progress of civilization has resulted
in bringing out and accentuating the
rights and relations of individuals to each
other and to the community and these are
directly within the sphere Of knowledge OF
men Of the law. What rights has wife
with regard to her husband; what are
the duties which parents owe their chill
dren; what of the relationship of the mer-
chant to his patron, Of the doctor and his
patient how far ecelesiastics may impose
their dogma and rituals upon the public.
what is the limit OF freedom Of speech
to what extent may the press indulge in
comments on individuals and public func-
tionaries; all these things and infinitely
more are the direct concerns of the legal
profession. 1t needs only that one should
