Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1908-09-01

lowed the conclusion OF Attorney Gen.
eral Hadleys address to the New
Mexico Bar association yesterday af-
ternoon in the Hall Of Representa-
tives at the Capitol. His subject:
THE Laws of Business and the Laws
of Men, while moderate in it's tenor
was emphatic in It's demand tnat the
laws Of business must conform to
the laws 0f1 the land. He voiced his
well-known sentiments upon monopo-
lies, trusts and combinations in re-
straint of trade. His utterances, how
ever, were not those of the political
agitator but of the thinker and the
legal student. They also touched the
popular chord for he was interrupted
again and again by applause not
only from the members of the Bar but
also from the rest of the large audi
ence that included many ladies, sew
eral of whom afterwards said that
they had no idea that an abstruse sub
ject could be made so interesting.
After the final applause had died out,
A. B. Renehan arose and said that
although he was lifelong Democrat,
he would move that the Association
and the others present tender Mr..
Hadley unanimous thanks for his
magnificent address and that recess
be taken to permit those present to
meet Attorney General Hadley and
congratulate him upon the prerora-
ton His motion was seconded by
Mr.. Buckley of Ration, who also de-
clared himself a Democrat, a native
of Missouri, but nevertheless an en-
thusiastic seconder of Mr.. Renehan's S
motion. Hon. r. B. Catron, followed
to declare that he was Republican
and former Missourian at that, and
that he too seconded the motion.
Others, former residents of Missouri,
arose to second the motion. Hon.
Samuel H. Cowan MEMBER OF the
Texas Bar, suggested that copies OF
the address be printed for distribu-
tion in Texas, and Mr.. Renehans mo
tion was adopted, one might say, with
almost shout. Those present
crowded around Mr.. Hadley and an
impromptu reception was given the
Association distinguished guest, that
was the more enjoyable because it
WAS so spontaneous and genuine in
it's expression. Mr.. Hadley's address,
which was indeed gem of oratOry
Irresistible in it's logic and convinc'
ling in it's presentation, will be print
ed in full, in the annual proceedings
|of the Association.
| Mr.. Hadley had been preceded by
president A. B. McMillen OF Albu
IQuerQue, whose treatment of his sub
ject: "The Encroachment of the
Executive Departments Of the Gov
lernment in America" was a plea fol
the preservation of the safeguards Of
the legal procedure that had been the
result of evolution for centuries ani
are the surest guarantees of liberty
and justice, and the maintenance o
the dividing lines between the execu
tive, legislative and judicial powers
