but comparatively small part Of our
Jurisprudence. But the man who de-
votes all of his time to legal studies
becomes dwarfed. He is technical,
and narrow, and usually cynical.
soured and morose The lawyer who
knows little or nothing of literature,
principles Of government the arts and
sciences, never makes much of a
mark. And the lawyer who has no

the people have but little interest.

prudence. AS to that he was a model
for young lawyer Some of the pro-
fession must engage in the practice
of the criminal law, because the Grim

orderly way. We must have Jury
lawyers, because without the trial by
jury our liberties would be at an end.
But after all. equity Jurisprudence

widow are cared for; children are
protected; trusts In all forms are car

In that field there is but little
room for display, because the work is
without ostentation. Great principles

achieved distinction, and more than
local fame. He had superb position
at the bar in that field. I commend

fession

ion that he was one of the best equity
lawyers in the state. Mr.. Howell
made a speciality of this branch and |
think that he was the best equity Jaw
yer in Iowa. The thing in his char
acter was his remarkable work in the
field OF charity. 1 never knew any
lawyer to devote so much of his time
to charity than he did. He was very
devoted church member. He was in
terested in the Sunday School, and
did not neglect any branch that he
thought would develope mankind.
There is an association in iJes
Moines to provide for homeless chill
dren. Mr.. Howell induced me to con-
tribute to this organization. His work
for this organization was very credit
able. His whole life was devoted to
charity, religion and morality. He
was a good example for a young man
to follow and g shining light in chris
tianity and charity.

Captain Taber will probably leave Sat-

have secured tickets on which are CIV

The trip down the river will take
about week from the port of st.

signified his intention Of visiting Keo-

do so. as his predecessor, who is now

LAST OF THE PIONEERS
Members Of Legal Fraternity Praised
His Ability in Cases Of Equity
What Judge McPher-
son Said.

Clock ILLS morning TOT the late h
Scott Howell, last Of the pioneer
lawyers of the state and an attorney
who had few equals in the practice
OF equity cases, was largely attended
by the bar and friends Of the de-
ceased. The highest of tributes were
paid Mr. Howell by Judge Smith
Mcpherson and members of the bar
who had known him thirty and forty
years ago. The revolutions were
presented by Attorney A. Holdings
worth and after SO doing he said:
In presenting these resolutions tc
this court and in moving that they be
spread upon the records, cannot re-
frain from saying a Few words in sup
port of the motion.
The Lawyer.
There is no profession which de.
velops such distinct traits of charac-
ter in those who follow it as that of
the law and none in which the individ-
ual traits of it's members are brought
into such distinct prominence. The
life Of lawyer Is one of constant en-
deavor and of frequent strife and
though this strife is usually good nat
ured it not only calls for the most
strenuous exertion but above ALL much
OF his effort is of public character
before the courts and under the close
scrutiny of tribunal and subject to
the severest criticism of an adversary
whose interests are usually in direct
conflict. The interest that lawyers
take in each other is no doubt largely
owing to this fact
When a lawyer of standing dies his
brethren take more than a passing
notice of his death. The features of
his life and professional career are
dwelt upon with interest. They
know his work, his efforts, ambitions
and measure of success as only mem
bers of the same profession can.
More than half century ago a
young man came out to our city from
Ohio to start his professional career
In this then far western town. have
q description of this young man from
the lips of my father who was then a
physician practising here. He said
he remembered Mr.. Howell as a neat
ly dressed young man of fine personal
appearance and splendid bea' ng and
who exhibited in marked degree a
disposition for great energy and un-
firing industry. He further relates
the perfectly natural fact that these
traits of great energy and attention
to business soon were rewarded with
practice at the bar unusual for SO
young a maj tc acquire in so short
time.
Thirty years after that became
acquainted witch MIR Howell and he
then was and for many years contin-
ued to be one of the most untiring
workers at this bar He had a mind
unusually alert and active and he was
of studious nature and investigated
with painstaking care every theory
that he thought could by any possibil-
ity apply to facts of his case.
1t is fit that so long a life of such
activity and effort should not be per-
mitted to go out without recording on
the records of those courts in which
he practised the good opinion held of
him by his brethren at the bar
