THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

The profession Of a lawyer is gen
orally misunderstood Certain ethics
govern the acts OF those who are true
to the lofty conception OF the profess
sion.
The public does not understand the
relations of the lawyer to his client
are such that 1t is necessary that the
lawyer have a high conception OF his
duties.
The ethics OF the legal profession
is the code of unwritten laws by
which practicing attorneys in their
relations with their clients are gov
erned
Lawyers are anxious that the pub
lie shall understand them better.
They are anxious that the general
public shall learn to discriminate be-
tween the ethical and the inethical
lawyer. They desire TO make ethics

And in this effort to get closer to
the people. to become better under

tised the open meetings. such as the
one that was held recently. so that
the attitude OF the public towards

NOT WHAT YOU EARN, BUT SAVE.

It is as great mistake to Judge
a young mans future bank account
by the siez of his salary as by the
color of his hair. Men are rich. not
by what they EARN. but by what
they save
Usually it makes little difference
to young mans future how much
he earns If he has careful. pru-
dent disposition, he will manage to
save so cents week If he gets no
more than 81 Ga month If he is a
spendthrift. he VIII not save 2d cents
la week out of $4,000 a year.
Large salaries often ruin small men.
A young man who starts out with
brilliant prospects is likely to have
such magnificent ideas of how to get
rich fast that he thinks it absurd to
start in slowly, and eventually finds
himself at the turning point in mid
die age, surrounded by the cares of
family life, with nothing saved. His
new responsibilities add new bur
den and his old habits continue to in
fuence him. The trouble is that he
didn't start 20 years before, putting
his money at work for him.
Money works for its owner while
he SLEEPS, while he EATS and
while he is on his VACATION. II

is not allowed to work for himself. II
