One. of the notable features Of the Mo-
vember Atlantic is an article by David
c. Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court on "The Ideal Lawyer" The title
itself suggests a novel point of view, for
we have got out of the habit, late years,
of expecting lawyers to have much bust
ness with ideals. Justice Brewer thinks
Otherwise. His AZ years of legal exper-
fence, II of which were spent upon the
bench of our highest judiciary, have given
him plenty of opportunity to know all the
ins and outs of court-practice, but he has
not lost his belief in the profession-in
it's sense of honor, in its patriotism, and
it's integrity If lawyers are really such
a bad set as they are painted, ne remarks
1t is a singular fact that in the public life
of this country they have been the all
conspicuous factor-yet no one denies that
our public life has been of the highest or
der A sane and optimistic view Ike
Justice Brewers is especially welcome In
these days of noisy talk about the com
mercialism and venaliry of the bar
