PROFESSIONS NOT CROWDED.
1--WE say in America that all the
professions are crowded, but you viii
notice that the crowd is always around
the bottom Of the ladder There are
plenty OF lawyers starving to death.
But they ought to sturve to death;
they ought to go to the penitentiary
ana be fed at public expense, But
every once in a while there Is a man
who realizes that the law IL the science
Of equality, an expression Of justiCe

here something like this; Far off IN
the twentieth century 1920 or 1880,
away off there, the man that you ought
to be is waiting FOR you Now, while
this man Is waiting for you, will you
live IN such G way that this man who

strong in your strength, wise in your
experience happy in your Joys, or will
you live In such way as to destroy
your patrlmony and the man you ought
to be shall never exist"
