"tIrDE NOT THY CANDLE"

II is apt this time few words about lawyers IN
view OF the meetings of the American Bar association which
begin In this city tomorrow
For 80 years the declared objects OF the American Bar
association have BEEN
Ito advance the science OF Jurisprudence The advance
of the science has been productive OF confusion completely
aud delay that only the very rich afford to buy any
OF it,
2-To promote uniformity of legislation throughout the
Union And meanwhile legislatures have been an
nuay turning average OF nearly $1,000 lawsi
and ITO uphold the honor OF the profession and en-
courage cordial intercourse among members of the bar Worthy
enough aims but that naturally arrange them
selves.
But as ntimated above there will be patriotic brainy,
honorable lawyers the coming meeting who feel that the
original objects OF the have become obsolete and
who realize seriously that the people fast losing all con
dence honorable profession Of the lawyer and in the
law itself and the association may interest the whole country
by adopting aims and devsng practical OF securing
them.
How much good the nation might not be accomplished
Judges could be removed beyond dirty party politics and
der private purchase and il could have simplicity in
procedure and more uniformity in utematngG
The very life OF the nation demands that get closer
10 these things.
No, for long will tho trust justice with high judges
who brazeny demand passes from railroad corporations
Not for long will the people submit their rights
OF liberty and property holding brutal pauperzng methods
OF procedure under which only the longest hope to
win
1t high time for the American Bar association to do
something besides advancing science Of Jurisprudence and
encouraging professional eoFdiality
