Hauled Over The Goals.

st. Paul. Minn., Jan. IA special
to the Dispatch from Helena. Mont,
says:
At meeting OF the State Bar Asso-
citation former United States Senator
w. D. Sanders delivered speech. In
which he caustcally arraigned the. su-
preme court of Montana for its short
comings and mildly lectures the mem
bers of the bar for not commanding
the proper respect of the supreme
court. He said: "One supreme court
has rules which are more intricate than
the science Of law itself, the clocks on
the walls continue TO warn us until one
would think that the symbol of justice
instead of being pair of scales, is an
hour glass, and that the ends of JUS
tice would be served not when right
exists between man and man, but when
lawyers get thru talking"
He said the bar of the state was not
held in respect by the courts. ana
he thought this fault was to be charged
to the members of the bar, by reason
of their lapses in falling to display
courage. He said he doubted II there
was lawyer in the stpte who knew
enough about the rules of the supreme
court to take a case there and carry
1t to 1t final determination on Its
merits. Case after case Is dismissed
on technicalities" he said. whereby
