ROOSEVELT and COR
PORAIION Id MYERS.

In a recent commencement
address President Roosevelt
gave utterance to an assertion
that will undoubtedly be taken
exception to by many OF the
most prominent lawyers Of the
land and will furnish food for
thought among the classes less
qualifedin the legal profession.
On that occasion our chief ex-
ecutive said, 1--WE all know that
as things actually are, many of
the most influential and most
highly remunerated members
Of the bar in every centre of
wealthmake ittheir special task
towork outbold and ingenious
schemes by which their wealthy
clients, individual or corporate,
can evade the laws which were
made to regulate, in the inter
ests Of the public, the uses of
great wealth.
The charge brought against
many Of the most eminent
members Of the American bar
is a grave one and opens up a
wide field Of discussion. The
supporter Of the Presidents
proposition may find himself
emerged in perplexity when he
confronts the formidable argu-
ments brought forth to defend
1 the course taken by the leading
corporation lawyers of our day.
The question resolves itself
into this; whether the lawyer
owes his primary and para
mount duty to the state or to his
client. Which is primary and
which is seco ndaryf The funda-
mental assumption of English
and American criminal law is
that q man is presumed inno-
cent until he is proven guilty.

criterion Of his guilt or inno-
cence9 By no means.

legation to defend his client to
the best Of his ability whether

Is guilty or innocent until
proven guilty. And in this
capacity the judge and jury

Robert Edeson CoIlapses,

Twenty-Five good-looking, well-dressed
and husky young men flourishing canes
and caps and colors ploughed into a
Seattle cafe the other night, escorting
Robert Edeson. They had just wit
messed his performance in the college
play, ''Strongheart.' The boys took
possession Of the rathskeller, gave some
curious college yells, made fiery pa
triotic college speeches, and then or
dered twenty-five glasses of milk. Mr..
Edeson fell over unconscious, the
waiter and the bartender collapsed, and
the. manager of the cafe rushed down
stairs to see what all the commotion
was about. The assistant bartender
found that there was not enough milk
to 20 around, and large quantity of
the lacteal fluid had to be secured from
a neighboring dairy to supply the in
snocent thirst of the tribe of huskies.
The manager could not understand this
tremendous milky longing until he was

|. Dublin, Dec. 15.-Dr. Douglas Hyde
has had many distinguished converts to
his views on the revival Of the Irish
language since he has set out on the
mission, but it is doubtful whether he
has had a more remarkable follower
than Edward Terry, the famous actor.
The Terry family have always been ex-
ceedingly popular with Irish audiences
and whenever they have visited Dublin
functions innumerable have been
given in their honor. Dublin is< be-
coming so pronounced Gaelic in its
language that in a few years the pub
ilc man or woman, who is not able to
converse in Irish will be somewhat ham
dicapped in appealing to the sympa-
thies Of it's people.
Edward Terry evidently sees this. He
announced during visit he paid to the
city last week that he had taken up
the study Of the Irish language, and as
far as he had gone he had found it
very beautiful and very interesting.
Asked what progress he had made, he
SAID: LAS veteran I do not hope to
make such progress as q young man,
but / have already mastered much Of
its grammar, and by the time I visit
Ireland next I think I will be able to
speak few words to you in the lang
