AS it stands in the bill tine provision

The President bases his request upon,
the agreement he reached with the
railroads on yesterday whereby they
agreed to withdraw all increased rates
until the new law is signed
Following is the Presidents message:
"A recent effort by large number

attorney general to bring suit ana

This action led to q conference with the

Philip I. Van Zile, prosecuting attos-

Profession" In Westminster Presby-
terrain church. Sunday night, the ad-
cress being one Of a series by leaders
In different vacations.
Judge Van Zile deprecated the mod
ern tendency to seek "cross-cuts" 70
education.
IT don't believe In the idea Of allow
ing young men to select soft snaps In
their college preparation" he said. Il
have often thought that many young
men enter the profession Of the law
on account of the glitter that attaches
to It. They zee the lawyer before the
court, and they do not think OF the
hard work which he has undergone 10

classes Of lRwyers-those who hang
around the police courts and live
mostly on their wits. the merely at
torneys, and the real lawyers The
last class Is credit to the COM
mimity."
Judge Van Zile had large and ap-
preciative audience, many OF those
present being students and alumni who
have studied under him In the Detroit

that Congressman Eugene Foss, Of
