was secretary. T. f. Lee was treasurer
and tho executive council was made up of
the following men: Z. M. Bartlett, ]. b.
Sheean. j. w. Parish, A. C. Wakeley and
c. c. Wright.
From that time on down to the present
growth has been rapid and consistent. Ten
years ago the membership was scarcely
100. now 1t Is over $50, Ten years ago the
achievements of the association were few;
now the members can lay claim without
fear of contradiction TO having done a
great good for Nebraska.
Being a metropoli an city in a compare
lively new and rapidly growing state
Omaha has attracted members of the legal
profession from all parts of the country
and from all schools. Among them are
lawyers who attained prominence in the
judiciary and at the bar in the formative
period of the state
They had advantages found only in new
states and participated In framing con-
stitutions and Interpreting laws untra N.
meled by arbitrary presidents. Douglas
county also has many lawyers who have
been in high executive and legislative posi-
lions. and many more undoubtedly will
attain prominence. The trend of the times
is toward more activity by the profession
i'm these two fields.
Concerted action by members OF any
profession is always OF value. The Omaha
Bar association exists for this end. Its
large membership and broad purposes pre-
vent factions and yet the association can
readily be made a powerful factor in the
interests OF the entire profession. -
Since the beginning of the present year,
the membership roll has increased by one
third. Lawyers who had been in business
in the city for years saw that the asso-
cation had become a wide-awake organiza-
ton and gave in their names
new feature has been started since last
March which had never before been tried.
on May u the association gave the men,
bers and Ella borate banquet at the Loyal
hotel. II proved such a decided success
that another was given at the Field club
in June In connection with a bar associa-
ten athletic meet. This. turned out even
more successful than the first and there is
little doubt the association members will
dine together at frequent intervals in the
future.
Changes in the Law.
To the legislative committee is given most
of the credit for the change in legal resi-
dence limit before a divorce suit may be
instituted. Through its efforts the divorce
laws were made more severe and the result
was that Nebraska ceased to be haven OF
refuge for Divorces. leaving Reno without
competition.
Investigations by the inquiry COMMITTEES
were made into certain municipal affairs
over which public opinion had become
aroused Several trials resulted from these
Investigations and recommendations made

Bar Has Great Weight.

During the last few years, in which the
association has been most active, this COM
mittee has performed valuable services. Its
recommendation. backed as it is by the
Influence OF over 200 prominent Douglas
county attorneys. carries considerable
weight and more than once such recon-
mendations have helped prevent undesirable
legislation.
With regard to importance the other two
committees are about at a standoff. 1t is
the duty OF the judiciary committee TO
keep up with the times on all matters per-
tanning TO the workings or the nations

by the committee went through straighten-
ing out questionable conditions.
AS mentioned before Omaha attorneys
represent every school. and college of inn
portance in the country. Following are
some of the schools whose graduates are
now practicing law in Omaha:
Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Penn
sylvania, Georgetown. Washington, Ne
braska university, Kansas university, Mis-
souri, university. Ohio university, Virginia
university. Iowa university. Wisconsin uni
versity Michigan university Indiana uni
versity Grlnnel. Creighton, Oberlin Morn
ingside. Union university. and many others.
Until few years ago, with the exception,
perhaps, of the Nebraska university, most
of the Omaha lawyers came from the
schools east and in other states. But now,
with the growth of the city and state,
Nebraskas schools have attaired a high
standard and the law courses offered COM
pare with those in the big colleges in the
east,
In order to clearly set forth Just what
the Omaha Bar association is and what are
its specific aims and objects. 1t might be
well to briefly anayze its platform"
First. its membership list is open to all
reputable attorneys at law, in active prac-
tice in the district court of Douglas county,
who are residents OF Douglas county. Thus
the name Omaha Bar association" Is
sometimes misleading, as the association in
! cludes the whole OF Douglas county.
Second. its aims lie in the duties assigned
to the three standing committees: Judiciary.
legislative and inquiry. The judiciary and
legislative committees consist OF five MEM
bers each and the committee on inquiry
of three members.
Most important OF the three is the legis-
lative committee, and II is this COMMITTEES
which has been most active In bringing
about much needed changes in the laws
OF the state of Nebraska. 1t is charged
with the duty of examining into every
proposed change of law, the progress OF
legislation during sessions Of legislature
especially with a view to ascertainng the
probable effects OF remedial legislation. and
of recommending to the Legislature the pas
sage, reflections, or amendment OF such bills
as in the opinion Of the committee cal
for such action.

fact that college PLAYERS stop eight out

the successful termination is reached, no
profit can be had from the mine. Where
it is undertaken to promote the mine by
sale OF shares, and to work along as the
money comes in, those who start opera
tons in this way do not count on the dis
appointments and ill-will Of those who
buy shares. People buy stocks expecting
profit, and presently as month succeeds
month, become restive and begin to talk
against the proposition. After time
when these adverse remarks are handed
from one to another the stock is in bad
repute and the case is hopeless, for money
cannot be raised under such circumstan-
ces. 1t is the subscription paper which
is legitimate in mining, not the share of
stock offered for immediate delivery.
Where a mine owner goes to promoter
and states that he requires so much mon
" W WIN a kAOPCoAbtOAiy anu ttiC JAO-
moter undertakes to raise the money for
him, but states that none will be forth
coming until enough is raised to carry
the work to successful termination, the
mine owner may be assured that he is in
good hands. The investor is most assur-
edly better off in a proposition which will
not use his money until enough is OBJ
tanned, through different subscriptions,
to carry on the proposition for which the
money was subscribed to a successful
termination. This is sure criterion Of
honesty in mining propositions, yet it is
one out of which the promoter could
make very little money; hence, it is rare
Iy employed. Yet if the mine owners
would insist ON this basis OF operation,
and if the investors would take none
other, we would have a very different
story to tell of mining.
