Reelection. About Lawyers.


When Peter the Great visited London
N 1908 he was shown Westminster

pie were in black gowns and lowing
wigs. He was answered. They are
lawyers, sir" ''Lawyersg" said he, much
astonished. Il have but two in my
whole donations, and l believe | shall
hang one OF them the moment | get

When, in 1858, a lawyer tried TO set
tie in the Isle OF Wight, he was hound
ed out of the place. with a pound of
candles hanging at his side. all alight.
and with bells about his legs.
In 1867 "a book about lawyers" was
written by John Cordy Jcaffreson. who
declared: Sweep away the lawyers.
and forthwith there would be an end
Of triumphant roguery. The lawyer is
the typical knave. the arch villain. the
perjurcd monster, the heartlcss demon
of our social system AS '.thc greatest
scoundrcl unhung, long since consigned
by tho unanimous but impotent wishes
Of his fellow countrymcn to endless
perdition'-

was the cry OF the mob as they ran

ways grow rich. and there is truth in
Sydney Smiths remark that at Is not

who read these lines will do their best
