PAY OF LAWYERS.
Half Those Who Practice Earn Only
$1,000 a Year.

From the Ohio Magazine.
In the United States today there are
over $4,000 lawyers-more than in any
other profession or calling save teaching
and medicine. In addition to this number
there are thousands of young men in law
Offices ard colleges educating themselves
for the lava mighty army of legal .ep
resent 1tives fighting and preparing to
fight the battles of life.
In one city alone there are over 10000
lawyers three-fourths of whom are
wholly dependent upon the incomes from
their practice as means of livelihood
While from 80 to 80 per cent are success
full practitioners with good incomes and a
monopoly upon the better class IF law
business, 1t is safe to say that the re-
manning 80 ner cent make on al average
less than 81. 200 year.
In many law offices in our larger cities
you will find half dozen mo- law
yers occupying merely clerical positions
and working for others, like insigniiics mt
cogwhcels In mighty machine, on saia-
ries of from S1o to SO week, and who
congratulate themselves that they are able
to hold their positions.
A motorman on street car receives
from $l5 to $50 week for his services,
and he is sure of his money. A clerk in a
dry goods store, railroad or insurance
office receives from SO to So a week
A bank clerk is paid from $75 to $50 a
month. A skilliul mechanic or machinist
earns from s. to $40 day.
Many business men command salaries of
from 5000 to So, 600 year. A travelling
salesman sells goods on commission and
earns from $1,000 TO 5000 a year. and
perhaps more. reporter on a daily
ewspaper makes more money than the
average lawyer.
What does it mean? Wake up. young
lawyer. wake up, On the face of these
conditions is it not time that you were
asking yourself the question, Does 1t pay

THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Is, 1908.
ONLY ONE POINT At ISSUE
NEGOTIATIONS WITH JAPAN
ON IMMIGRATION.
Definition of the Glass to Be Ex
cluded Not Yet Agreed Upon.
Satisfactory Outlook.

Ambassador OBrien has informed the
State Department by cable from Toxic OF
the changes in the japanese cabinet, as
recorded in the press dispatches, but
made no comment thereon. The opinion
here is that these changes are not likely
to affect the pending negotiations with
Japan relative to the regulation OF
emigration to the United States from
that country further than to cause a
slight delay while the new cabinet is In
process of organization. The fact that
Marquis Ito has been called into con-
new cabinet is regarded here as an in
d!cation of the favorable completion OF
that body
The State Department here is satisfied
with the prospects of satisfactory set
tlement OF all questions connected with
the attempt to regulate Japanese immi-
grafton into this country. No answer
has Yet been returned to Ambassador
0 Brien's last note. received nearly a
week ago, defining the program proposed
by Japan as a solution of the immigra-
ton evil. That is solely because the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor is still
engaged in analyzing the japanese pro-
posal.
One Point at Issue.
The only point at issue between the
two governments has been the definition
of the class of Japanese to exclude The
Japanese government has undertaken to
refuse passports to the laboring class of
Japanese. while our own government has
not denied the right OF Japanese me--
chants, students and gentlemen to freely
enter our ports and travel in the United
States.
Japan has found difficulty in precisely
defining the labor line, and it is now
declared that all of the complaint that
has arisen in this country over the in
fiux of Japanese coolies has been caused
by the lack of a proper system of is
suing passports in Japan and a great
difference in the methods employed by the
various subordinate provincial officials in
different parts Oh Japan who have is
sued these passports heretofore. 1t is the
purpose of the trainers of the plan under
consideration to secure a uniform and
effective definition of a coolie and to
withhold passports from such. and it is
for the Department of Commerce and
Labor to advise the Department of State
if in the light of our experience during
the past year in stemming the tide OF
Japanese immigration the proposed Jap
anese regulations are likely to be ef-
fective.
