NEW ERA DAWNING.
Strong Words From Justice Brewer
Against Bad Corporation LAWYERS.

NEW YORK, April 22-Justice David 7
Brewer and Prof. George Kirchwev dean
Of the Columbia law school, pleaded for a
higher standard of ethics in the legal nro
lesson in addresses before the Ethical Gull
ture society in Carnegie Hall yesterday
morning Neither admitted that the ethics
OF lawyers were very bad, but they ac-
khoWIedged that the public seemed 10 think
that they We're not OF the best There was
some suppressed laughter when Dean
Kirchwey acknowledged that there were
corporation lawyers whose moral ethics did
not Seem TO be above suspicion; that there
was class of lawyers known as "a.nbu-
lance chasers,' and that there were Grim
inal lawyers who were criminal in more
senses than one.
Justice Brewer Acknowledged the n,1blic,s
bad opinion Of the profession also in the
opening remarks of his speech SAYING that
no profession was So often and so wrong
fully attacked as was the legal profession.
He cited an occasion at a dinner given re-
Gently In honor of the members of the bar
at which he said the toast had been an
nounced: An Honest Lawyer, the Modest
Work of God" Quick as a flash, the justice
said a voice from the end of the hall had
been heard to say: And the scarcest"
At the conclusion Of both speeches Felix
Adler, who presided. suggested that n So
Society which should, from the layman's
side. strive and work for a higher moral
standard among the members of the bar
Very near the beginning of his address
Justice Brewer also said that he didn't
quite agree with his friend Lyman Abbott
who had in a recent address described the
advance OF the race in three stages: First
despotism; second, individualism, and last
~, the coming age of fraternalism"
II do not quite like his DIVISION Justice
Brewer went on TO say, Il think there are
really but two steps-despotism and indi-
vidualism Despotism, where one man con-
trolls others; individualism, where each man
controls himself. There is, of course, q diff
ference in the quality of the despotism, as
well of individualism. One despot may
be selfish, saying, as did Louis XIV The
state, i am the state and regard the
services of all designed TO be utilized
for his personal aggrandiZement and glory
while another may aim to improve the well
fare of his subjects In like manner there
may be a selfish and benevolent Individual
ism"

MARKED SUCCESS OF FAIR
RESULTS OF FIRST WEEK OF
MASONIC ENTERPRISE.
All Previous Records Broken-Details
of the Arrangements-Re-
mainder Of Program.

The success of the big Masonic fair is said
to be assured The money turned into the
treasury so far is said to be in excess of
the showing for the first week of the fair
OF 1902, and the attendance was greater on
every night of the week than at either of
the fairs of 1898 1902 Never in the his
tory of any fraternal organization, it is
said, have the people turned out in such
large numbers during the past week, and
the members of the board of control are
duly appreciative of the interest that has
been shown in the enterprise.
Director General tSandiford and President
Smith are pleased that, notwithstanding the
great crowds that attended the fair nightly
there was no disorder. and that despite the
jam at certain hours there were no acct
dents last week. The good weather that
prevailed during the week also contributed
to the good showing.
The orderly handling of the big crowds
was due to the good management Of the
police. Maj. Sylvester, in his dual capa city
of chief Of police and chairman of the COM
mittee on public comfort and order. provided
a sufficient force of police to take care of
the crowds. He also detailed several plain
clothes men for duty at the fair nightly,
who watched the gates closely and saw that
no suspicious person was permitted to en-
ter the hall. After the rush at the gates
was over these men circulated around the
