the subject. II. for instance. we had in this
country law similar to the companies acts

under which the English corporations are con-
Quoted should do away with many OF the
existing abuses incident to the conduct and re-
organization Of corporations. II the Stock Ex-
change was put under judicial control abuses
that cannot now be reached by the law would
be done away with. The same Is true of the
Clearing House Association, that now exercises

THE truth is that the corporations are
stronger than the law. We have reached the
parting of the ways at which we shah nave
to choose whether the government shall run the
corporations or the corporations shall control
the government AN intelligent application OF
the criminal law to few Of the powerful law
breakers would have done in a single month
more to enforce respect for the law than these
years of agitation and the consequent disturb

THE remedy for existing evils is with the
people themselves. There has never been a

MR.. UNTERMYER'S VIEWS.

Samuel Unternyer a man intimately familiar
with corporation practice, said:
'The ethical standards of the bar as whole
are far and away above those prevailing in the
business and financial world. There has been
a decided advance in the standards OF CONNER
cial life IN late years but this is by no means
true of the financial world and especially of
high finance as II has been practsed by the
great men of the country in Wall Street.
The trouble with the bar Of New York City
has been that the flower Of the profession has
been drawn away from its truest and highest
function of advocacy by the allurements of
finance Many of them have become rather
aids TO fnanciers-highly paid assistants-to
carry out the very doubtful schemes that have
been permitted by modern methods than advo-
Gates Thus we have some Of our best
men leave the ranks of the profession for the
sliuren1ents Of money making as bankers
The remedy is with the existing state OF the
law rather than by way of complaint against
the LAWYERS When they asked to advise
as to the legal or Illegal method of accomplish
ing a. purpose it is their duty TO proclaim the
law as IL is II the law permits acts that are
morally wrong but legally right IT Is not the
fault of the lawyer. That our corporation laws
and particularly the criminal laws applicable
to corporations are crude and insuhlcient is well
New-York tribune., 1908-02-02

TT is a different matter when a lawyer ensi-
neers a fraudulent enterprise IN advance. That
is clearly wrong and unper1nissible. There are
undoubtedly bad and corrupt men in the legal
profession, which, on the whole, has a high
standard of honor. II happens often that the Wig
orous personality of the marauder OF finance DOM
mates the lawyer The client says: Let US suppose
| want tc do so and So The attorney replies:
This act is equal to embezzlenent, that one is
Impossible and the other may land you in jail
All, very well: I will take the risk. says the
venturesome promoter. II Is like a doctor and
his patient. The doctor gives lots of good advice
which the patient is inclined TO disregard Peo-
pie often expect the doctor to teach them how TO
beat the laws of health and the lawyer to
show them how to evade the statutes.
How to reach corrupt attorneys Is problem
The rule of secrecy in relations between lawyer
and client prevents the obtaining Of evidence, yet
the rule seems to be necessary and wholesome.
Without II no man would dare confide in his
counsel and many grievous injustices would en-
sue. AS II is, there men who do not tell
enough TO their lawyers or who consult them
only after they are in very deep water.

the famous Irishman who abandoned the British
consular service in 1868 to organize the foreign
customs service of the Celestial Empire, and
who has been in the employ of the Chinese
government ever since, is now quitting his
post and returning to England after half a
century spent in the Orient, thoroughly en-
bittered and broken by the treatment which he
has received In spite of his wholesouled de-
votion TO the interests OF the Chinese govern
nent and of the Chinese nation. for whose sake
he declined the office of British Minister Pleni-
potentiary in China, besides making many other
sacrifices. his home in Peking apparently
singled out for special devastation the time
Of the siege of the legations; and although the
Chinese government owes TO his powers of or
ganization and to his integrity not only its
one reliable source of revenue, but has been
enabled solely and entirely through the credit
which he enjoyed to obtain loans abroad, yet
he has found himself not only an object of dis
trust but has even been superseded Of late by
native dignitaries. He too. Is returning home.

sacrificed his life in their service while engaged
in establishing for the first time diplomatic
intercourse between the Middle Kingdom and
