SPOKE ON THE LAWYER. >
Judge Stafford Tells Vermont bar Of
NeceaSnry Qualifications.

Rutland, Aug. l3.-At a meeting of the
Vermont Bar association. which was held
IN the Rutland county court house to-
night, Judge Wendell =. Stafford Of
Washington d. c.. gave an address on
THE Lawyer There we're about $50
members and friends of the association
present. Judge stafford spoke on the
ideal lawyer, giving as the necessary
qualifications, a broad education, true
sense OF the relationship of things, q de-
sire to see justice rendered and common
sense. OF the latter Judge Stafford said
ut was the common sense OF our fathers
that made our laws, and 1t must be COM
mon sense to-day that applies It. Some
OF the best lawyers have never been
admitted TO tho bar. Some of the men
who have come to me have shown such
a clear conception Of the principals that
! have felt like saying. why do you come
to me.
1T Is wrong to think that the law Is
based upon technical terms to mislead the
average people and II is also wrong to
use arguments couched in such language
that the hearers are led to believe that
the principal is right"
The program tomorrow will include an
outing at Lake Bomoseen and a banquet
and reception at the Bardwell Hotel In the
evening.
