nnsnt and Protect the Ballot.

Chicago. May 2s.--The Illinois State
Bar Association convened In this city
today. The meeting was largely at
tended by attorneys from all parts or
the state. Upon the corveriing OF the
association Judge Alton B. Parker was
introduced and delivered the address
of welcome.
The address ydwsit upon the scope Of
men who follow the law as a profess
sion, and OF their relations 10 the poli-
tics and public life Of the. country. He
reviewed at length the prominent part
taken by lawyers In the public discuss
sions from the days Of the thirteen
colonies to the present. In the course
OF his address he said:
Il would emphasize anew the thought
that as the lawyer finds himself the
beneficiary and the heir % great priv
ileges which yield commanding oppor-
ltunities, II Is more incumbent upon
him than upon any other to recognize
that these privileges and powers iIn-
pose obligations from which there can
be no escape. as, indeed, there ought
not to be, except by meeting and well
coming them in the conpletest sense
possible. If. at any time 1t should be-
come apparent that the sancity OF the
ballot Is either threatened or assailed;
Iif the administration of the law,
whether civil or criminal, becomes
either lax or careless; II the evils In
any Industrial movement manifest such
power that they threaten monopoly or
h put popular rights In peril; IL the ex-
ecutive. the legislative, or the Judicial
branches OF our system shalt. either
Iby design Or accident. tend to trench
unduly or dangerously upon the rights
of any of the others-the one man who
should resent and resist the dangers
thus threatened, Is the American law
yer. The traditions Of his profession,
the execution OF the high trust con-
fided to him. the example set him by
great leaders through many genera
tions, all demand that he should ex-
ercise the greatest watchfulness and
show the highest courage"
