NEW HAVEN, June 22-The Yale law

this afternoon in Hendrie Hall. Whitelaw
Reid OF New York city spoke on Changing
Aspects Of Some Old Points in Public Policy
and International Law Mr.. Reid spoke
OF the Monroe Doctrine the Polk doctrine,
which supplemented it, and the doctrine
OF anarchy and the way to suppress it..
In the first part OF his address he quoted
from an Grafton by Wendell Phillips, which
gave q picture Of the contributions Of all
nations to the temple Of Jurisprudence, and
continued:
4In that lofty Valhalla Of which Mr..
Phillips spoke. you will look in vain for the
or any species Of the modern speculative
damage-suit lawyer, Far less will you
find the tradesman in litigation who has.
found ways to combine champerty and
maintenance with the practice of the courts.
Nay, you will not even find there that sort
of brilliant corporation lawyer whose
practice is confined to tea ching corporate
wealth how TO evade the laws Of the land;
or that other whose practice lies in teach
ing trades-unions how to conduct cam
paigns against property without imperilling
their own incomes, and campaigns against
free labor by terrorism, by the bludgeon,
bv dynamite, without mourning RESPONSE
bility for such deeds. while enjoy ing the
