great one. The study of the law is
the greatest mental cultivation that
there is, but there is no reason why
the country should be SO completely

statutes which cannot be under

the Iowa legislature, who, being a
lawyer, was selected district judge.
When asked how he was getting
along some months afterward said
he was doing first rate; that he had
already decided that two laws writ

Lecture by Col. Young.

Des Moines Capital: Schools and
colleges are grinding out lawyers
every year. The argument in favor
Of supporting law college at the
expense Of the state is that such q
college produces better lawyers and
as consequence aids the courts IN
finding out the very right OF things.
When the law department of Iowa
state university was added many
years ago there were members or
the general assembly who said that
no good reason could be given why
the state should educate lawyers.
Then the argument to which We
have rel erred was advanced and the
law department was added. The re-
suit OF these law colleges is a tre-
mendous overproduction Of lawyers.
Every county seat has too many.
Some Of them do not have much to
do. Some of them are tempted 70
live by sharp practice. But the gen
eral temptation to the lawyers is to
engage in politics. The majority OF
the public ofilceholders are lawyers.
The senate Of the United States
having total of ninety-two mem
bers, has sixty-one lawyers. There
are only four farmers in the senate
of the United States. The farmers
beat the editors, for there are only
three editors there. Eight senator
are listed as business men," There
are five bankers. There are only
two manufacturers and two engaged
in mining. There is only one auth
or and only one doctor. Four others
do not give their occupation. Bu'
think of sixty-one lawyers In the
senate of the United States. The
lawyers voice is nearly always TO-
stirring things up. In the shaken
he catches on. 1t Is the lawyer
who stirs things up in local com
munities. He is not manufactur
er nor a business man. Az a rule NJ
makes money in hard times. His
picking is good when there are banl
failures. The lawyer is seldom
builder. He Is often knocker. Ye
some OF the greatest men are law
