THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE 2, 1904.

JUSTICE BREWER, Of the Uni'ec
States Supreme Court, spoke, in the
oo,rse of the commencement exercises
Of the Albany Law School last night
on "The Ethical Obligations OF the
LAWYER Is a Lawmaker." After re-
marking that the great corporations
eptrust to their leading counsel less and
less of the litigation in the courts and
more and more the matter of the pre-
sentation of their interests before the
departments of government and legisla-
tive bodies. Justice Brewer discussed
the temptations of lawmaking lawyers,
the greatest Of which, he said, "comes
from the marvellous development OF cor
norate interests" On this point he
said:
These interests are colossal in size, al
Turing by the magnitude oftheir achieve
ments, tempting not merely by the money
thew possess and with which they can re-
ward, but more by the influence they can
exert in favor of the individual lawmaker
in the furtherance of his personal ad-
yaucemen. No one can be blind to the
fact that these mighty corporations are
holding out most tempting inducements
TO lawmakers to regard in their lawmak-
lug those interests rather than the well
fare of the nation. Senators and repre-
sentatives have owed their places to cor
porate influence and that influence has
been exerted under an expectation, II not
an understanding, that as lawmakers
the corporate interests shall be subserved.
As a lawmaker tie lawyer should ever
bear in mind that he is counsel for the
nation. We are coming more and more
to realize the truth that the independent
lawmaker is, like the independent voter,
magnificent power for good. Well has
il been said, "He serves his party best
who serves his country best" and a
legislative body is far nObler and a great
er blessing to the community when 1t
becomes a council and ceases to be a mere
counting house.
The above observations need no COM
ment.
