The great lawyer who employs his
talent 10 enable a wealthy client to
circumvent the law is encoursging a
spirit Of dumb anger against all the
laws.
In President Roosevelt's great
speech at Harvard there is no greater
truth than this. This single paragraph
Is a great speech in itself
The country is cursed with legal
lawlessness conducted on gigantic
scale.
Many OF the biggest ships Of com
mercial and financial enterprise are
boldly and safely steered through for
bidden ssas by shllm pilots who
know the statutory rocks and shoals.
Like pirate craft Of old these big
financial and Commercial ships dis
gulse themselves as honest merchant
men and take their victims unawares.
The pilot Of the pirate ship was al
ways an important figure, command
ing large share OF the loot The legal
pilots Of the big trusts Of today get
s5O.oOO $4,000 and sometimes $780,
600 year Piracy stAl pays the pirate
well.
There is a common idea that the
lawyer who commands $4,000 or more
year from single trust client must
be an exceptionally great lawyer. This
is delusion. The 0ld pirate pilot
was not better than any other pilot
He differed from the others only IN
being unscrupulous enough to be a
pirate And the trust lawyer Of to-
day who for a high salary enables his
client TO cfrcamyent tho laws is sell
ing bis toner. not extraordinary ability
Measured against the legal incom-
petents and weakliugs whom the pub
iic commonly selects 10 enforce the
laws, the trust lawyers seem great. But
that Is through fault Of the public.
Setting up q $500 year public
prosecutor Against $4,000 year
lawyer OF a trust Is IKE setting row

PEELED by steam ant sail
II need not be particularly staunch
pirate ship nor have a very high class
poot to escape such feeble pursuit.
The vast bulk OF the finances of the
covatry are controlled by Institutions
that. like the Equitable. sail danger
ously close to the rocks Of forbidden
seas.
A feeling Of distrust is steadily grow
ing throughout the country. Respect
for law thus evaded with impunity is
giving place in the popular mind to a
spirit Of dumb anger against all the
laws.
From open and continuous manipula-
ton and evasion of the law Il is short
step to anarchy.
The real anarchists OF this country
are the trust lawyers who are destroy
ing public respect for the law by de-
stroying the law itself.
