JUDGE SLOAN OF KEOSAUQUA TELLS
WAPELLO BAR OF EARLY MEMBERS

accept like guide in their determine
ton. It made them ready and apt de-
baters, as we'll as clear and Keen
thinkers.
Were Not Politicians.
The members of this bar of an early
day were not in the ordinary sense OF
the word politicians, nor were they
in any large degree so ambitious as
to give much of their time to office
seeking. AS a rule their ambitions led
them to seek such offices as per-
tanned to their profession. They we're
all the better lawyers on this account
and their names will be found In the
supreme court reports of the territory
and state, on one side or the other, of
much of the important litigation of
that day and age.
Many of them had the ability, and
! would have distinguished themselves
in congressional careers, but lacked
the inclination, at least to such an ex-
tent as to induce them to spend much
time or money to crafty it.
You must bear in mind that twenty
four years of service on the bench in
this county, averaging more than
eAA % VI CdSu uao olAoi
ed me a good opportunity to speak of
them and of their ability as lawyers
This is not mentioned in any egotisti-
cal sense, but to show that the oppor-
tunity came to me through such serv.
ice to know them. Twelve years Of that
time, practically all of those who be-
long to the roll of the dead were in
active practice, and can say truth
fully, and you who were their asso.
ciates can bear witness with me, that
they constituted a very able bar. It
was a bar that according to it's num-
bers is entitled to rank as the equal
of any bar in the state. I count their
uniform courtesy and friendships and
the aid they gave me as among the
most cherished memories Of my life.
It rests with you who survive them and
who constitute the bar as it is now
constituted both young and old to
maintain the high character which
they gave it. Without flattery, Judging
from the way you worried me a few
years ago am strongly inclined to the
opinion that you are succeeding fair
ly well-yes, fairly we'll.
