that points of law alone are considered
in the higher tribunal. They insist up
on citing lengthy authorities which,
perhaps. the members of the court
they are addressing know by heart,
and they present a wealth of facts
that the court, hearing cases at the
average rate of three a day and decid-
ing perhaps a month later, cannot bear
in mind
Wants Only the Theory.
What the supreme court is looking
for is the theory of the application of
law that the attorney is advocating.
This is borne in mind, while no at
tempt is made to store away the facts.
Justice Scott illustrated his points
from time to time with actual eXper-
fences of the supreme court that fully
sustained his contention that that
body has troubles enough of its own
without going out of it's way to take
note of irrelevant matters that attor-
ueys often consider so important
Greeted with Northwestern Yell.
Dean John II. Wigmore of the North
western university law school was the
last speaker OH the regular program
and his topic was THE Science OF
Criminology" AS Mr. Wigmore rose
to speak he was greeted with the
Northwestern yell given by some of the
younger graduates of that school pres
ent, and he bowed his acknowledge
ments. In opening, the speaker rather
surprised his audience with a plea
against Capitalization, saying that the
hope of the country a few years Lence
lies in the continued resistance of the
/ smaller communities against the larger
AS an example, he cited the practice

something of a monstrosity from the

chiefly in that it represented the

point simply because of their organ
ization if the bar of the state at large
does not make a vigorous fight. The
real strength of the body polite lies
outside of the great cities, and there
It must continue to repose if our insti

gracefully. The first speaker intro

apply the particular remedy that Is
needed. AS yet, however, little prog
ress has been made in the application
of similar theories to criminals,
though lawyers agree that no two men
who commit the same crime are equal
ly morally guilty. circumstances or in
fiuences having different bearing
upon each case. In other words, it is
now realized that punishment should
be q personal matter to fit the indi-
vidual instead of the crime.
Divides Into Classes.
Mr.. Wigmore divided criminals into
several classes, commenting upon each.
There are the born criminals. whose
inherent tendencies are stronger than
their respect for law; the insane, of
whom there are many types; the dis
eased criminals who are driven to
crime by physical inability to battle
Tor life as others do; the habitual
criminals, who constitute from 20 to
so per cent of the inmates of the pen
itentiaries; those who are possessed
Of criminal passions, whom no pun
ishment can cure; and the anarchist,
who insists upon having his own way
egardless of the desires of society
and without any scruples as to the
means taken to bring about results
Speaking of punishment for the last
named class, MIR. Wigmore said he
might need a S29,00O.000 fine, or it
might be better 10 use other means.
While all the learned professions
have been going steadily forward, the
lawyers since the days of Blackstone
and even 100 years before have made
practically no progress in their efforts
TO root out crime The time has come
the speaker sad in conclusion, when
radical changes must be made, and the
science of criminology should have the
earnest attention of every member OF
the bar.

talks were given by Judge E. C. Graves
