States Attorney Daniel ". Baker Jesse
Adkins d. w ODonohue and Frank
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. addresses as did
Rev David H. Buel, president of George
town University.
The remarks were particularly impress
sive and significant because Of the prom
inence Of the speakers. The gradual ties
who gathered bout the festive board had
1t plainly defined for them what their
present positions in life are and what
they should become and in an encourag
ing way they were told what to expect

Suggest Political Afhliation.
What was regarded az unusual. three
of the speakers-Chief Justices Clabaugh
and Shepard and United States Attorney
Raker-prescribed political affiliation for
the embryo lawyers. saying that in poll
tics there is generally a successful and
prominent future for the as.ute and clean
man of legal training.
| Chief Justice Clabaugh informed his
auditors that 1t will not be long before
| the ma jority of them will find themselves
| in other paris of the country than Wash
| ington. and that they will then note that
| the political parties will be making over
| lures to them.
| Take up the party you believe to be
| right he said. Politics. will be bene-
| fetal to you. provided you do not permit
! it to overcome your principles and your
| profession. BY being active in politics
YOU will be placing yourself in position
Every citizen worthy of that name should
have some part In the welfare of the COM
munity."
Like Chief Justice Clabaugh Chief JUS
tice Shepard said politics is beneficial to
the young lawyer. He remarked that he
has utter contempt for the lawyer-polit-
clan who stoops so low as to work for a
political boss. Such creatures were net
of the GREATEST needs of this country is
he publication of politics. and j. will take
just such clean. able young men as you
to bring this about"
