READING THROUGH THE BoLrs.

The reader of the just published
book called "The Real Bryan" COM
piled by his ~co-laborer on The Com
moner, r. L. Metcalfe, and p~urporting
to be made up of extracts from all Of
his speeches that are worth preserv-
ing, will be struck by two notable
omissions.
lin tho fore-word Mr.. Metcalfe says
that in choosing the paragraphs re-
printed he ~has>been guided by his idea
of what should be entitled to rank as
eloquent and instructive" and 1t is
to be assumed that nothing properly
within this classification would have
been passed by by such a friendly and
admiring commentator. But nowhere
between the two yer of the book is
there a single word or sentence out Of
the famous Gross of Gold" speech,
credited with having procured Mr..
Bryan's nomination in the Chicago con-
vention and popularity supposed to be
the Bryan masterpiece. The verdict
of the compiler of the book called
THE Real Bryan" is that nothing ut
tered by Mr.. Bryan in the 1895 con-
vention is eloquent, or instructive. or
worth preserving.
The second anomaly is the total alb
sence of any quotation expressive Of
Mr., Bryan's views on government own
ership of railroads. His declaration
for a system of trunk lines operated
by the national government and
branches by the : state governments
was the ''piece de resistance" of his
homecoming address in the Madison
Square garden two years ago. And
his position on the subject was pub
licly explained later In Connecticut
and in Kentucky. Yet nothing that
Mr.. Bryan has said on government
ownership of railroads comes up &c
Mr.. Metoalfe's test of what is eloquent
or instructive, or worth preserving.
( While 1t has many merits, Mr.. Met,
calfe's book %strikingly recalls the stor.

professional services.
The responsibility for advising question
able transactions, for bringing questionable
suits, for urging questionable defenses. Is
the lawyers responsibility. He cannot es-
cape 1t by urging as an excuse that he u
only following his clients instructions.
The proposed code emphasizes the
duty of the lawyer to uphold and OBJ
serve the law. which. the trainers of
the code assert, is greater than any
client and powerful than any in
terest. This(is a direct thrust at the
class of attorneys who are popularity
believed to be employed by large in
terests for the sole purpose of invent
ing evasions of the law.
1t is not probable that the adoption
of the code will meet an strong oppo-
sition at the convention. 1t will be
decidedly interesting, however, to see
what methods the American Bar asso-
citation will take to secure the enforce
ment Of the code after 1t is adopted.
By use of this code as the basis for
disbarment proceedings the profession
might quickly rid itself of unworthy
members. 1t is greatly to be desired
that the code, when adopted, will have
the proper influence on the conduct OF
the members of the legal profession.

4 CODE OF LEGAL ETHICS.

Many high-minded members of the
legal profession, smarting under the
d~isrepute brought upon 1t by practi-
TONERS who have employed most ques-
tionable methods, while yet managing
to keep out of prison and inside the
bars OF their states, have started a
movement for a general code of ethics
which shall guide and, II possible,
govern the practice throughout this
country. A committee appointed by
the American Bar association has pre-
pared such a code and will submit for
the consideration of the association at
the e annual convention, to be held
at Seattle in August.
Summed UP, the recommendations
Of the committee in relation to the new
code are: Known criminals may be
properly defended; counsel may ex-
haust the law in their defense; wit
nesses are to be treated with respect;
lawyers nay publish professional
cards; solicitation is most unprofes-
sional; instigators of litigation are to
be Overwhelmingly employment of
agents is TO be condemned.
The fact that such a ode is pro-
posed for adoption is proof of its need,
a fact which laymen and ~litigants have
long known. At each meeting of the
bar association for some years learned
members have deplored the deteriora-
ton of the bar in the lowering of its
standard of ethics and the commercial
spirit that seems to have taken posses.
sion OF it. The Ambulance chasers, .
the provokers of libel suits, the jury
hxers and the lawyers agents devoted
to subordination of perjury by spend,
ing money on witnesses have done theii
d~isgraeeful work and brought the en-
tire profession into public criticism
and censure from which it is now pro
posed to seek permanent relief. Al
extract from the proposed code give
a hint Of the new standard proposed
to be raised:
