nerated members OF the bar In every CEN
tire Of wealth make 1t their special task
TO work out bold and ingenious schemes
by which their clients. individual or cor
porate, can evade the laws which were
made TO regulate, in the interests OF tho
public, the uses Of great wealth.
Mr.. Cook must have been thinking the
matter over the greater part OF a year,
for the legal profession was thus ar
raigned at the bar Of public opinion a
year ago at the Harvard commence
sion; indeed, he acknowledges that there
are black sheep in It's ranks, as who
would not, and at once he takes up the
ethics Of the case. The question Is
raised, he says, whether such conduct
Of members Of the legal profession is
consistent with their duty to the public,
to the courts and to their associates at
the bar"
Mr.. Cook contends that the lawyer Is
an agent and servant of civil govern
ment, and "as such his Office is as dis
tinct and important as are those Of the
Judge and the jury" In the abstract
such a theory can be maintained, but in
the application there is danger Of con-
fusing the function Of the advocate who
is paid by his client with that Of the
Judge who is paid by the State. The duty
of the Judge is to apply and enforce the
law; that of the advocate to seek an in
depreciation of the law in the interests OF
his client. They may well disagree with
out discredit to either.
"If a lawyer asks Mr.. Cook, know
ingly aids the evasion or defeat OF the
law, is he not false to his oath and to
his trust?" He is, and the name OF
pettifogger fits him without regard to
the size of his fee. There is no more to
this disquisition upon the lawyers and
the trusts than question and inevitable
answer, except a complaint that the
subject Of legal ethics receives scant
attention from the law schools. 1t may
be said for them, however, that they do
not justify thimblerigging in the inter
ests Of any client, but take it for granted
that character will be one OF the assets
Of their students.
1t is true, as charged, that too often
has pursuit of wealth become the chief
even the avowed-aim of conspicuous,
brilliant members Of the BAR although
great lawyers are not in the habit OF
making the avowal. But 30 long as
their practice is legitimate, where is the
blame, unless the lawyer regards him
self as IAN agent and servant OF civil
government" in an exalted sense? He
is within his rights and ethically justi-
fed, if he does not resort to the wiles
and deceit of the pettifogger. If he is
a great advocate or a learned jurist he
will become rich in spite of any abstract
theories he may entertain about his pro-
fession. The possession Of wealth by a
lawyer is not necessarily disreputable,
What Mr.. COOK has written might be
applied with as much aptness to admir-
atty, divorce, probate, commercial, real
estate or criminal practice as to corpo-
ration practice. The title of his article,
THE Lawyers and the Trusts, is merely
topical.

American Goods In Mexico.

american merchants could do so per cent. more
business in Mexico were they to study the character
and condition Of trade In our country, said Walter
E.. Grevel Of Mexico City.
"The main trouble with the slow sale Of American
merchandise in Mexico is the fact that the mer-
chants and manufacturers demand that payment
for their goods be sent upon the receipt Of the bill
for the same, and this bill arrives a month in ad-
vance OF the goods. or course. our merchants do
not favor the idea OF paying for goods before re-
celyine them. ON the other hand. European mer.
chants are liberal in giving time limits Of as high
as six months. and as a consequence epjoy q good
norton Of our trade"

The London Lancet, in possession OF all
available facts, concludes that with regard
to disease and cleanliness the meat inn
ported from the United States and Argen-
tina is to be preferred to the home product.
Such an optimistic view will not commend
itself to the sweet young American socio-
~loeists, who seem to regard an injury to
an American industry as a work Of merit,
almost of religion.
