u.s. however, a regretable statement to
make. but We all must confess Il 10
be true. that the profession in Ken
lucky, is not abreast OF the times. and
that II has not kept pace with the
advancement in other states or In
other callings. aud especially with
other professional callings in our
state. Times have changed. and al
most everything of which the mind
can conceive, has changed with

exception. and that is the require

Kentucky. This seems TO be stand

II Is quite as easy for one TO OBJ
tain admission to our profession to-
day In Kentucky as II was twenty
five, fifty OF even hundred years
ago Not so. however, with other pro
LESSONS in the state. No man can
enter the medical profession without
a diploma from a reputable school OF
medicine. and In addition stand an
examination before the state board Of
examiners, provided by legislation
for that purpose. We also have a
state board OF pharmacy, state
board of dentistry, and no one can
become a member OF either of these
professions without coming up to the
high requirements for admission, and
without obtaining certificate OF
qualification from these respective
state boards. Favoritism Is a thing
OF the past in these professions; ev-
cry man desiring TO enter either OF
them is placed upon an exact equal
ity.
So what we need for our profession
and what we must continue to battle
for above everything else, are those
absolute essentials, a higher stand
ard of qualification and requlrements
and uniformity OF examination for
admission to the bar, and until We
get them the profession will continue
to suffer from the admission of un-
qualified and untitled persons.

THE STATE BAR

From the beginning of authentic
history the legal profession has at
tracted the brainest men; its mem
bers have been the law makers. as
well as law interpreters; and
the bar has furnished leading spirits.
in every important civic enterprise
The learning. intelligence and
peculiar training and experience Of
the lawyers fit them especially for
civic duties; and assuming that every
mans obligation to the whole body
of society is greater than his obliga-
ton to anyone individual, the law
yer Is responsible to the public for
the manner in which he conducts
himself in all his official and profess
sionaI relations. We have noted that
the medical profession has of late
years come into full recognition Of
the fact that its duty extends to such
matters as public sanitation and
prevention of diseases, and history
affords many brilliant examples Of

Expedition In Legal Procedure.

The deplorable delays in the adminls-
tration OF civil and criminal law have re-
ceived the attention OF committees OF the
American Bar association and Of many
state bar associations. as well as the con-
sidered thought OF judges and jurists. In
my judgment change in judicial pro-
cedure. with a view TO reducing It's cx-
pense 10 private litigants in civil cases

Conclusion.

I have thus. In a message compressed
as much as the subjects will permit re-
ferred TO many OF the legislative needs
Of the country. with the exceptions AL
ready noted. Speaking generally, the
country is in high state OF prosperity.
There is every reason TO believe that we
ara on the eve or suDs,antiai business
expansion and we have just garnered a
harvest unexampled In the market value
OF our agricultural products. The high
prices which such products bring mean
great prosperity for the farming corn
munty. but on the other hand they
mean very considerably increased bur-
den upon those classes IN the commu-
nifty whose yearly compensation does not
expand with the Improvement In bust
ness and the general prosperity. Various
reasons are given for the high prices.
The proportionate Increase In the output
OF gold. which to-day Is the chief medi-
UNI OF exchange and is in some respects
a measure OF value. furnishes a substan-
tial explanation OF at least part OF the
increase In prices The increase in pop
ulation and the more expensive mode OF
living OF the people. which have not been
accompanied by a proportionate increase
in acreage production. may furnish a fur
Their reason. IL is well TO note that the
increase In the cost Of living is not con-
fined TO this country, but prevails the
world over and that those who would
change increases IN prices to the existing
protective tarif must meet the fact that
the rise In prices has taken place almost
wholly In those products OF the factory
and farm ia respect TO which there has
been either no increase In the tariff or in
many instances a very considerable re-
duction.

Justice of the Peace Charles Fielding
had a narrow escape from possible
serious injury, and also from possible
arrest, while IN Trenton one day last
week.
He stepped upon a trolley car-the
last car from which he was to catch
his train for home. AS he entered the
| rear vestibule of the car and turned to
enter the car, the motorman started
the car with sudden jerk. The JUS
| tice was thrown back against the rear
window of the vestibule, crashing
through the glass. He came near
being dashed out backwards.
The conductor came to him and told
him he would have to pay for the
broken glass. ''Not on your life' said
the Justice, Your motorman, if any
body, should pay for it,
The conductor threatened arrest but
the Justice informed him he could not
be blutfed in that manner and refused
to pay. telling the man to sue if he
wished.
The conductor said the company
would make him, the conductor pay
for it.
Finally the Justice, not caring to be
kept in Trenton over night, as he got
down town and before leaving the car,
handed the conductor the amount
claimed, and was profusely thanked by
the man.

PARADE ON MEMORIAEDAY.

The parade which will be part of
the Memorial Day observance Oh Mon
day, promises to be one of the best and
biggest ever held here.
The general committee which has
charge of the affair, has practically
completed all of the arrangements and
the Official publication of the order of
the parade and route will be made
known, perhaps tomorrow.
There will be more organizations to
join with A. l.. Robson Post, No. AZ,
G. A. R. than ever before. Captain
Iredell has sent out orders for Com
pany K, National Guard to turn out
in dress uniform. Both Jr. o. U. A.
M. Councils will be in line, headed bv
their respective uniformed guards.
There will be at least a half dozen
other organizations in line some of
them uniformed.
The committee has arranged for the
appearance Of two bands in line, and a
drum corps There will be at least
four tableau feats, perhaps more.
These floats will be particularly elab-
orate
There is every indication that the
patriotic decorations will be in evil
dence, and the beautiful Court of
Honor will ado much to the attractive
ness and Importance of the occasion.
James W. Trenchard of the Bridge
ton National Bank, will be marshal of
tho parade.
The effort being made to have 100
horsemen in line is a serious one, and
it is to be hope that this will be a
feature of the parade.
