VARIOUS CLASSES OF LAWYERS

Some time ago Judge Stephen A.
Lowell, in an address at the Univer-
sity of Oregon, said:
There are today, roughly speaking,
four classes of lawyers-frs', the
corporation attorney, who draws an
assured salary or retainer of ample
magnitude; second, the lawyer of the
old school, who maintains the ideals
of his profession, and who is being
slowly crushed between Capitalization
of commercial interests on ore hand
and the sharp practice of h1a competi
tors on the other; third, those men
nominally lawyers who supplement
their meager professional income by
collections, loan and insurance bust
ness; fourth, the hustler, who seeks
business by the same methods as the
travelling salesman secures his orders,
and who either never knew or hes for
gotten that the duty of an uprigh'
counselor Is TO prevent, not 10 foster,
litigation"
Commenting upon this learned
opinion the Nashville American thinks
the accuracy of this classification and
description will hardly be disputed
in any community in this country.
The corporation lawyer, the American
says, has comfor able time Of it in
financial sense, while the old school
lawyer who scorns to drum for bust
ness finds the practice "nothing like
it ustd to be- before the days of
f'snitches" and enterprising attorneys
who seek business as a peddler seeks
customers. It is noticeable that the
lawyer who is most apt to go to ex-
trsme lengths to obtain client or to
win law sult, whether it be in The
interest of justice or against II, is
usually the quickest to resent crIti-
cism of the honorable profession"
which he does so little to elevate or
adorn. While there are lawyers who
do it, 1t would be interesting to know
what per cent. of lawyers seek to dis
courage rather than to encourage lit
igation."

Hawaii passed through a very disastrous
experience of a Doom and its consequent
collapse. Many investors were perma nently
impoverished. and many left the islands as
the effect OF such losses and of the general
contraction of business.
The cause OF the low price of sugar was
the immense expansion In Europe OF the
beet culture. owing to the high bounties
paid on all sugar exported. to meet which
a heavy tax was imposed upon the home
consumption. Those export bounties were
all removed some time ago. the home con-
sumption taxes were removed and home
consumption In Europe inerea sed At the
same time the export so largely decreased
that beets became less profitable and
smaller crops were planted. Altogether,
the competition from beets has largely
abated. and Hawaii again begins to realize

her cane fields. But In the meantime Hon.

WOMEN AS WORKERS.
Some Figures That, After All, Are Not
Discouraging.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
A statistician has gone to the trouble to
ascertain that IS per cent of all the d.
vorced women, 30 per cent of the widowed
and 81 per cent of the single women are
engaged in gainful pursuits. Only about
6 per cent Of the married women are SINH
larlys situated. While the great body of
married women are at home attending to
the domestic duties which are naturally
set down for them, there Is some hope still
that the old order of things is not going to
be completely overthrown. The world will
not be without homes. The figures indicate
that 81 per cent Of the married men are
supporting their wives, though the women
are, of course, doing their full share in
maintaining domestic establishments, which
are bulwarks of morals and good order
and which keep the race from dying out.
On surface analysis 1t may snem wonder
full that 81 per cent of the married men
find enough to do to support families, when
so many women are in mems occupations,
but the earth is big, and the ordinary at
tempt at comprehending the things to be
done and the number of people to do them
is puny indeed. In the long run there APP
pears to be room for everybody-the home
woman. the new" woman the mannfsh
woman, the bachelor woman, etc. likewise
for the womanish man and the men who
depend on the labor and shrewdness of
their wives to keep them going The mix
ture of the sexes in the active business af-
political economy twenty-five years ago. 1t
seems plain enough, for example, that when
man ON a salary gets work for his daugh-
ter in the same occupation at, perhaps,
smaller compensation than he receives he
Is sapping the foundation of his own en-
ployment and prosperity: that in the long
run will be simply dividing up his salary
among the members Of his own family
and driving other men out OF employment
The results Of widespread changes of
this sort look apparently to an entire revo-
lutiontzing Of society. But some people
are not stopping to study the text books.
They are going ahead with the fashions Of
the time leaving the pessimists and those
who have nothing to do but study to read
up on political economy. A great many
wise books have been impracticable in re-
latton to business affairs. If society is
going wrong In putting the gentler sex in
the lines of employment that were formerly
exclusively for men. the mistake will mani
fest itself some day in a serious way
Money panics result from overweight am
pition to get rich quick. and then follows
the travail of liquidation And SO it is
