to talk themselves. Capt. J. A. Brack
was then called and said:
Friends, Romans and COuntrymen-
The eatin' was good. the speakin' was
good. and the drinkin' was good, especi-
ally the water. because it was furnished
by the receiver Of the international
Water company, for whom I am the
attorney. Il do not know which Is
worse. a fool or a knave, but am in
clined to decide in favor of the knave.
for you can get rid Of him while the
fool comes back like a boomerang and
strikes you in the back while you are
turning the corner. 1 was born in a
log cabin and if the government would
stop building warships and use the
money for building log cabins, we
would have more big men. for a man
cannot be great unless he was born in
a log cabin"
W. H H Llewellyn, OF Las Cruces,
fondly spoke of his home town as
suburb of FL Paso. and said they were
always glad to have FL Paso lawyers
there and without exception all that
he had met there were gentlemen and
capable lawyers.
HHam- Ward Speaks
r. H Ward. who came here few
months ago from San Antonio, said
that this was the first bar banquet he
had attended in FL Paso, but he hoped
he would attend many more He de-
clared that lawyer was the only man
who could be deprived OF his right to
make a living without a trial by jury
and he had but two remedies-One
was an appeal and the other was to go
to the corner grocery and get drunk.
Former judge ]. A. Buckler then re-
81 xz-bO had
studied law by reading a book while
employed as janitor in lawyers office
and, finishing his story exhibited a map
Of the streets leading away from the
ST. Regis-to enable the guests to get
home.
W. H. Burgess was not inclined to
talk, which Is not remarkable consider
ing the fact that he recently engaged
in two hour speech before a jury in
the Carpenter case He said that un-
der the new vagrancy law most of the
lawyers were Migrants Then he in
vited all lawyers who could, 20 be pres
ent at the next meeting of the Texas
State Bar association, which will be
held at San Angelo the first Monday
and Tuesday in July, 1910
Members of the Juarez bar were then
requested to speak. but Maury Kemp
peeled to leave in order to catch the last
car for home, so the merry meeting ad-
journed sine die.
