o, Ye Lawyers : Back To The Farm!

stead OF for the public service
The public tendency is exhibited in
permitting admissions TO the Bar with.
out adequate education and training
Few ideas have been more persistent
. throughout this country than the idea
that the prevailing consideration in
determining admission TO the Bar
should BE- that every young man Is en-.
titled 10 his chance TO be a lawyer
and that all requirements Of attend.
ance in offices and law schools and for
difficult examinations are so many OBJ
stacies in the way of liberty and op.
por1unity defenses Of aristocratic
privilege and derogalions from demo.
cratic right. The law schools have
been slowly winning their way along
the lines Of better training for the Bar.
but the progress L. very slow and the
pressure for brief and easy ways TO
get license Ia practice is continuous. ,
He proceeded at length and gave
them a good roasting"
Mr.. Root reviewed the work OF the
courts. the danger of following prece-
dents. the growth OF federal interfer-
ence with the sovereign rights or the
States. He used the following srar1l.
ing language:
Powers thus conferred under special
motives and for special purposes do
not revert. They are continued. And
If the process goes on our local gov.
ernments will grow weaker and the
central government stronger in con.
troll OF local affairs until local govern.
ment is dominated from Washington
by the votes OF distant ma jorities in
different to local customs and need.
When that time comes the freedom OF
adjustment which preserves both ma.
tional power and local liberty in our
system, will he destroyed and the
breaking up OF the Union will newt
ably follow"
Open and bitter rebellion was prom.
Used when the Bar Association opened
its meeting To-Day. a bitter fight was
planned by the prosressiyes for the re-
moval Of what they declared was the
gag rule" OF the organization and the
demand that proposals of amendments
TO tn" constitution and bylaws will b.
made as soon as the association gets
down To business
The conservative element In the as.
ISOLATION. which now represents 10000
members. will bitterly oppose this ac.
ton and q hot fight Is certain.

Frank Finnegan, brakeman on the
Great Western between Rochester and
Mac Intyre, Iowa, has come home to
Mankato, walking on crutches, on ac-
count of bad sprain he suffered last
Sunday night about half past nine
o'clock while on duty. The train on
which he was making his run was
partly derailed at Spring Cut, four
and a quarter miles east of Roches-
ter. IT was very cold night and
there was no way of communicating
with Rochester by telephone, so as
to order another engine. Mr.. Finne-
gan therefore set out to walk the en-
tire distance. While crossing a rail-
road bridge, he made II misstep, put
ting his foot down between the ties.
In some way he gave the foot a sud
den wrench. However, he managed
to make his way to Rochester, and
gave the order for the engine.
