A Lawyer on Lawyers.

The layman, however much he
may at times wish for the privi-
lege. is apt TO be chary of indulging
criticism of lawyerly ethics. Law
yers are commonly insistgnt on the
right of the lawyer to sell his
knowledge TO whom ne will. TO the
outsider ii often occurs that the
lawyer I'm claiming for himself so
very large an intellectual field, has
necessarily restricted his range OF
moral perception, TO hold himself
ready TO take brief for either the
right or the wrong side of any con-
troversy seems TO involve the con
clusion that To a considerable de-
gree right and wrong present no
very different aspects.
These reflections are offered with
becoming timidity and full realiza-
tion that the lawyers viii smile at
their crudity. Yet the excuse for
them is in the annual address of
Frederick w. Lehman, of ST, Louis,
one of the ablest lawyers in the
nation, and one of the clearest in
his conception of professional
ethics.
Mr.. Lehman denounced as a dis
grace 10 their profession those law
yers who lend their abilities TO the
frank business Of evading laws He
used the Northern Securities as an
illustration, insisting that that
concern was not n corporation; II
was a crime" The plan of evading
law, he declared. was not ingen-
ious, it was simply dishonest" And
he proceeded:
Whoever shares IN the various schemes
OF modern financial exploitation Is re-
solvent in d retainer to take away the
stain OF them. The code of ethics 10 be
framed by the American Bar Ass0cia-
ton should take cOgniZance OF this.
The greatest danger OF pollution 20 the
profession is not from the shysteT and
barratOr. for the evil Of these is alone
in what they do and not in their eX-
ample The miserable creature who
makes a bare living by his dubious pr8c-
tees and whose name is never mention
ed without reproach Is Stunned by the
young man entering upon his career.
The attraction from the straight way IS
eXerted by those who win the world
need OF success and upon whose armOr
of eminent responsibility the shafts OF
criticism hurtIess fan.
The timid outsider, who would not
brave the wrath of indignant law
yerdom by presenting such language
as his own. may be permitted to
quote it with approval and satisfac-
ton. What Mr.. Lehman has said
needs to be forced upon every law
yer, every judge, every teacher of
the great profession, and every stu
dent in academic halls. Some of the
greatest successes in the crown of
the American bar today constitute
also the most dangerous menaces to
its high and enduring position.

Among the ancients shaving the head
was a very common mode Of express

fl was done by the priest or some other
religious functionary formally cutting

plucking 1t out by the roots. In ex-
creme cases among men the beard as
well as the hair was either eat or OF
plucked out. The idea seems to have
been that mOurners should dlvest them

made a journey In Palestine and, be-

sketches. One winter evening after
his return the squire CAV a lecture to
his village and showed a number Of
his drawings. Among them was u cart
very similar to that which l drew at
