I have seen something OF legal prac-
lice on both sides of the Atlantic. and
my opinion is that our profession
would gain immenely by combining
the two branches pretty much as they
are combined in the United States and
Canada, says a writer in the London
Saturday Review. 1t is obvious that
the solicitors would profit by such an
agreement They would have the right
of audience in ali courts and the op-
pertunity to qualify themselves for
promotion to the bench.
In America the young lawyer goes
into an Office, where he makes his
merit known by steady attention to
business There will always be two
kinds of lawyers-those who stay in
their offices, dealing directly with eli
ents and attending to matters Of rou-
fine, and those who advise on points
of law and argue cases in court.
These two orders Of men are clearly
distinguished in America, but they
work together as partners to the great
Advantage Of the client.

II seems a paradox, but is neverthe-
less well established as true, that in |
certain Of the best farming regions OF |
the United States great and Astounding |
agricultural prosperity has resulted IN
decreased rural population A no less
striking than surprising illustration Of
this Is given In recent State census
report OF Iowa, which IL reported to
show a falling OF Of per cent IN the
population OF that great and glorious
State since the general census Of 1900.
OF course, such a result was not ac-
ceptable TO Eowa's pride, and IT was
not readily accepted. Close inquiry.
however, Is reported not only to con-
firm the general correctness Of the
new count, but to show a sufficient
reason for its disappointing result
The explanation offered is that IL Is
all due to the land hunger Of the pros
porous Iowa farmer. Having money
ahead and well knowing that good
farm land in the Mississippi valley IS
one OF the safest and most profitable
OF investments, he has been buying In
the adjoining farms Of his less fore
handed neighbors 10 such an extent,
the reports say, that vacant farm
houses dot every township in the State.
Many Of these vacant farmhouses may
again be occupied by the sons and sons
in-law Of the purchaser: some Of them
will be abandoned, and the newly ac-
auired lands consolidated into larger
farms. And IL Iowa follows the course
/ Of development that has been going on
for many years in the magnificent
farming regions Of Central Illinois, the
consolidated farms will be leased in
tracts Of 50 or 800 acres, or more. to
thrifty and prosperous tenant farmers.
! The process as it has gone In Illinois
for a number OF years Is that the
weather. land owner buys out the &C
and sO-acre farms of his neighbors,
tile drains and otherwise improves
them. often renting the same land or
larger tracts to the vendors, who gen
orally made more money as tenants
than they had done as owners The
