that you do not care whether you have
any more business or not. Be indie
pendent and let the people believe YOU
are doing a large business whether
you are doing anything or not. You
may think my remarks sarcastic, but
am speaking earnestly when I say that
the lawyer who puts up a good front
and 1mpresses upon his clients that he
is willing to serve them, but that he
must not be considered as a hired man.

let your clients tell you how to con-
duct their eases. You are responsible
to your client for results, and it Is
your duty to conduct your cases SO as
to get results.
And there is another matter that I
would like to impress upon the minds
or the young men here tonight and
that is, that they have duties outside
of the law, If our government is to
be held up as an example of freedom
we must keep it free from corruption

wolves upon the. young generation to
save it.
Fight Municipal Corruption
I IF our free institutions are to be
maintained an end must be put to mu-
nleIpal corruption. Let it be one of
your objects to help purge this city
from corruption. Lay aside party af-
hllatl0n and devote your efforts to
bringing about a reform in our sys-
tenn of municipal government. No mat
ter whether you are in st. Paul OF in
some other city or town, you will find
the same opportunities. Our cities are
becoming corrupted. If the younger
generation of today will unite in their
efforts to drive out municipal corrup-
ton the reform can be wrought within
ten years." aCzSI -.

The third annual banquet in honor
of the graduating class and the alum
nj of the st. Paul College of Law was
given at the Commercial club last
night, the members of the, grad
uating class, as many members of the
alumni and a number of prominent at
torneys and members of the faculty
being in attendance. The commence
ment exercises proper will be held this
evening at Park Congregational
church. The address will be delivered
by Gen. h. w. ChiIds.
Last nights banquet was a most en-
joyable affair, and at it's close a num-
Der of interesting talks were made by
members of the graduating class and
alumni and by more experienced prac-
titioners.
Thomas d. O'Brien was the first
speaker to be introduced by the toast
master, Charles N Orr. Mr.. o'Brien
spoke of Our Clients" and during his
remarks the young lawyers were given
some good advice.
TT should be remembered" said Mr..
O'Brien, that a lawyer occupies a po-
sition of trust. During your early and
struggling career there may be many
temptations thrown in your path, but
you must remember that if you would
succeed You must be honest with your
clients. Always be honest with your
clients. This policy may require that
you settle a case where extended 1iti-
cation would mean large and sure fees,
but 1t pays in the long run. Clients
are not always grateful-in fact they
are seldom grateful-but you should
always bear in mind that it is the best
attorney who keeps his client out of
litigation. The lawyer whose success
is most certain is the one whose
clients return to him.
Duties of Alumni
Edward A. Waters responded to the
toast, THE Alumni" He impressed
upon the seniors and the alumni that
they should strive for the general good
of the st. Paul college of law. He be-
HeVed the alumni should have voice
in selecting the faculty, and he sug-
gested that every member of the
alumni should give hearty support te
every forward movement of the col
lege. Regret was expressed at the
loss the college sustained in the death
of Hiram F. Stevens, it's dean, but ii
was a matter of congratulation that
one so worthy and able as Judge Bum
had been chosen to succeed him.
John d. Burns spoke Of 1.-The Fac
ulty," and told of the high regard in
which its members were held by the
students. 1t was an easier matter to
speak of the faculty than it WIS to
speak to them, Mr.. Burns thought Mr.
Burns also paid compliment to Judge
Bum, the new dean of the school
Charles E. Collett expressed some good
thoughts in responding to the toast

"An Embryo Lawyer" was the sub
ject assigned to M. L. Countryman
whose short address began in a hui
morous vein and ended in one that

ONE POLICEMAN TEN FARES.
How and Why Kennedy Was Obliged
 to Pay Extra Car Rates.

From the New York Times
 Patrolman Kennedy of the West One Hundred and Fifty-second street station saw his duty on a north-bound Third ave nue surface car last night and. although it cost him ten extra fares, he performed it.
 Kennedy is married. lives in a Harlem fiat, and there are eight little Kennedys, ranging in age from to 1G years Ken nedy took his family to Brooklyn yes- terday to visit relatives. It cost him twenty fares to go, ten to the bridge and ten across. Coming back he paid ten to reach Manhattan and ten on a Third avenue surface car at the bridge bound for Harlem. This Is how he paid the other ten:
 At the bridge there also entered the car William soukop, 20 years old, mar ble cutter, of 335 East Thirty-eighth street. He told the conductor, William McNeece of 1923 Third avenue, to put him off" at Forty y-second street. As the car was passing Thirty eighth street Sou kop forgot about Forty-second street and thought of his home street. He began to abuse the conductor. and then followed up his abuse, Kennedy and McNeece say, by striking the conductor Kennedy placed Soukop under arrest.
 Kennedy started to walk his man down Third avenue. He had onIy proceeded a block when he heard shouts behind him, and, looking about, saw three of his boys running pell-mell after him.
 Nav says you didn't give her the keys" shouted one of the boys, breath lessly.
 Huh, carelessness at 50 cents a crack" remarked Kennedy. After a minute he added Well, you might as well come along with me now and we'll get home together"
 A great crowd followed the strange pro- cession to the station house in East Thir- ty-fifth street. Kennedy held his prison

south, produced by the large gifts in money by northern philanthropists of this Negro school to the neglect of the white schools Now, I cannot endorse this view. In the first place we whites of the south cannot obtain funds from that source; in the next place, If we could, we should not. Why, sir, the Anglo-Saxon race has more than. one thousand years start of the Negro, and should not deny to him the right to win his way in the world of progress, civilization and enlightenment. As for me and mine, we are willing and anxious that the Negro shall receive ey- cry encouragement that means advance ment."
 And Dr. Massey further remarked: T never, in all my life, saw people or a community, like Booker T. Washington and his associates, try more strenuously to avoid giving offense, to keep aloof from unpleasant entanglements with white neighbors, and to live upright and useful lives, teaching the young under them to do likewise"
 To the writer this seems very high and just tribute to a man who well de- serves It. pr. Massey is prominent Alabamian, a man of strong southern sentiment, a democrat, if you please and one who so much enjoys the confidence and esteem of the white people of this state as to have been offered at one time the presidency of the State University.
 Col. c. w. Hare, a member of the board of trustees of the institute, who Is white southern democrat, takes much in- terest In the institute, and bears witness to the ideas and facts stated by Dr. Mas sey. To him the writer Is much indebted for courteses extended and information obtained.
 Booker T. Washington is a man of re- narkaole tact. energy and education. He is a born leader, an organizer and disci- plinarian Of humble origin and raised by his own good sense and sound intellect far above the average of men, humility still abides with him, and he lives today real mana benefactor of his race. He is now in the prime of manhood and his work is not complete; yet 1t will be builded to perfect condition; and when this is done the Tuskegee institute will stand as a monument to the foremost American of the world and a living example to all men of the possibilities of well-drected brain energy and high moral character. ~-
 There is only one Booker T. Washing ton

ture of the Tuskegee Normal and Indus trial institute and these facts should con- vince all fair-minded readers of the value of the institution to the south and to the nation; and to elicit for the effort the sympathy and support of all fair minded men and women.
 A race problem confronts the American people today and 1t Is idle speech to deny the fact. This problem has remained un- solved since human slavery became an American institution; more serious when the shackles were loosened; and still more serious now, when the two races enjoy alike freedom of citizenship and equality before the law. The question is: What Is the remedy; where the solu-. ton? Every man, woman and child of this country who has read or who is ca- pable of receiving instruction by precept CT example has learned that education elevates mentally, morally and religious ly. If this be not true school houses for all races should be closed and text books thrown to the winds.
 Has not Booker T. Washington solved the problem by the establishment of this great school for the Industrial training for usefulness of the young members of his race?
 To say that there does not today exist a prejudice against this man and the in stitution over which he presides Is false. There is rejudice-deep-seated prejudice by some white men for one reason, and by many black people TOT another. An tipathy of whites toward the Negro in any condition, is not dead either in the south or in the north. Jealousy on the part of ignorant black men toward intel ligent and useful members of his own race is co-exstent with the antipathy of whites towards blacks.
 These conditions do exist today. and intelligent, well-dlrected thought, honest conception and fair minded and unbiased action have a mission to perform-a pres sure to remove.
 Dr. John Massey president of the Ala bama Conference Female college at Tus- kegee, where he has held his high pres ent office for twenty-eight years, was asked by the writer What is the feel ing among the whites in this immediate community toward Booker T. Washing ton and his schoolT,
 Answering, Dr, Massey said ''The feel ing generally is good; there are some few exceptions, but the intelligent masses are.not unfriendiy to the man nor to the institution My opinion is there is degree of animosty here and elsewhere in the

PARADISE LOST"
Incidents of the Attempted Sale of the
 Original Manuscript.

From the London Telegraph.
 After all, the original manuscript of the first book of Milton's Paradise Lost re- mains unsold. It was offered a few days ago by MT. T. Hodge at Messrs Sothebys establishment in Wellington street. Strand, but failed to realize the reserve price of f5000. This historic manuscript Is the property of MT. Henry c. Baker. of Bayfordbury, who was present in the auction room, and it has been in his fam fly since 1772, when 1t was inherited by his great great-grandfather, William Ba- ker, from Richard Tonson, brother of the younger Jacob Tonson. This William Baker was the eldest son Of Sir William Baker, M. P. for Herts. who married in 1742, Mary Tonson, daughter of the young CT Jacob Tonson.
 Buyers from all parts or the kingdom and from Paris and Berlin were present yesterday, and rarely before has the lit- tie hall contained so many notable liter ary folk. At o'clock MT. Hodge mount ed the rostrum and in introducing the '1ot' remarkeds
 q think there is nothing to say about this manuscript, because everything that s known has been published. It is the manuscript submitted to the printer and, no doubt, therefore read through to Mill ton. l am sure it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most important volume from a national point of view that we have ever had. and I think this may be said of any other firm. Now, what will you offer for it?''
 A period of silence followed as the man uscript. inclosed in a glass frame. was handed round for the inspection of the as- sembly. Then voice from one corner said, Fifty pounds This was Dr. Gins burg, and his offer aroused some merri- ment Mir. Hodge said he would give R100 for it. and Mir. Snowden. the manager of the firm, sitting on his right, immediately doubled this figure. Both gentlemen then bid against one another, and no other person ventured to interrupt the compe- tition until e3900 was reached, when MT. Enowden retired. he being commissioned for. "a private individual" not to bid any higher. MT. Ellis of Messrs. Elvey & Ellis thereupon offered an extra hun dred and he soon brought up the price against MT. Hodge to f470o. The auc- tioneer then bid 95000. remarKlng that 1t was not nearly enough for so valuable a possession. There was no other offer and the hammer fell seven minutes after the
