Gov WILSON
ON LAWYERS
Notable Address Before Ken
lucky Bar Association.
THE LAWYER IN POLITICS
Says There Are Two Present and Inn
mediate Tests of the Se~rviceaniI-
ity of the Legal Profess
sion to the Nation.

Louisville, Ky.-This years gather-
ing of the Kentucky State Bar asso-
citation had the largest attendance OF
any in a decade because the star
speaker before it was Gov. Woodrow
Wilson of New Jersey The distin-
guishd Presidential aspirant received
a cordial greeting as he arose to de-
liver his address.
The Governor spoke on "The-Law-
yer in Politics" and his views created
a profound impression, especially
when he said the lawyer "has always
been indispensable, whether he mere
ly guided the leaders Of was himself
the leader, and nowhere has the law
yer played a more prominent part IN
politics than in England and America,
where the rules of law have always
been the chief instruments of contest
and regulation, of liberty and efficient
organization, and the chief means OF
lifting society from one stage to the
next of it's slow development"
If he regards his practice as a mere
mean of livelihood, Mr.. Wilson con
tinued, if he is satisfied to put his ex-
pert advice at the service of any in
terest or enterprise, if he does not
regard himself as an officer of the
State, but only as an agent of private
interest, he cannot play the part OF
guide or moderator or advisor in the
large sense that will make him a
statesman and a benefactor.
Gov. Wilson argued that our poll
tics are bound up in the mental char
acter and attitude and in the intel
leotual vigor and vision of our law
yers. Our is so intensely and char
acteristically a legal polity, he said,
that our politics depend upon Ii law
yers. They are the ultimate instru-
ments of our life.
1t is these matters rather than any
others, concluded the Governor, that
bar associations should consider; for
an association is greater than the in
dividual lawyer. 1t should embody not
the individual ambition of the practi-
toner, but the point of view of socie-
ty with regard to the profession. 1t
should hold the corporate conscience
and consciousness of the profession. 1t
is inspiring to think what might hap
pen if but one great State bar associa-
ton were to make up it's mind and
move toward these great objects with
intelligence, determination. and in
domitable perseverance,!

years, 1900 to 1910, was 70.8 per cent;
the increase in total number of fowls,
25.1 per cent. The number of farms
reporting poultry decreased 814. This
increase is doubtless due largely to
the fact that in 1900 many suburban
places having gardens and poultry
yards on June ] were reported as

were not reported by the enumerators
April Is, 1910. The number of fowls
