LAWYER MUST READ.

Reading says Bucon, 'maketh q

and writing an exact man. The lawyer
must read whether he will or no and
he must not only read, but he must
study what he reads. There Is moth
ing more vital to his continued sue
cess than misapprehension resulting
from careless reading. The lawyer,
and more particularly the advocate,
discovers early In his practice that his
efficiency and power is augmented and
his facilities increased by extending
his reading into other spheres. All
knowledge is useful to him regardless
of how acquired or whence. Indeed
knowledge is the first requisite Of o

and bar those whose fame casts the
longest shadow are those who were

Conference maketh "a ready man.
Who meets and converses with more

JOHNSON SUGGESTS
SHORTER OPINIONS
One Way to Clear Up the
Work of the Supreme
Court-Address Given by
President Karl Paine on
1.-THE Law Is a Jealous
Mistress.

AT the meeting of the Idaho State
Ear association this morning, Charles
T., Miller of Wallace argued in favor
of the appointment of commissioners
10 aid the supreme court justices N
view OF the congestion in the court
calendar, and gave IL as his opinion
that 1t could be done without "a con-
stitutional amendment
Henry z. Johnson of Boise opposed
the commissioner plan. II there was
too much work for the court, he said,
relief should be granted in an orderly
and constitutional way by increasing
the membership of the bench. Com
missioners would simply fill clerical
positions and all their work would
haze to meet the approval Of Judges.
This might entail almost rs much
labor as at present. Mr.. johnson
caused ii general laugh by suggesting
that If the judges would refrain from
writing such unnecessarily long opin-
ions their work would be materially
facilitated.
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
Members of the Idaho State Bar as
ISOLATION last night heard the annual
address of the president, Karl Paine.
The topic of the address was The
Law is Il Jealous Mistress" In il the
speaker pointed out the high calling
OF the profession, the duties to which
the lawyer is called the time and
study he must give his work and the
place in society he occupies. The add
dress plainly pointed out that the law
must be jealously followed by it's ad-
herents if success were to be attained.
4Nfter his address, Ira Z, Barber
stated that the president had left
nothing open for discussion and moved
that It be the request OF the associa-
ton that the scholarly address be
published, which was carried by n
unanimous vote. The address of Mr..
Paine was as follows:
ON occasions like this we need to
remind ourselves that the law is Il
Jealous mistress. Too few of us OBJ
serve too many of us ignore this hoary
admonitiun. The truth that this old
saying teaches is dual. BY IL we are
appraised that we cannot master tho
law though we dedicate our lives to IL
and that VIC cannot slight IL or skimp
IL or neglect il without losing our
ability to use the little that we have
cleaned. Il Is not to my present pur-
pose TO point out why the law is a
jealous mistress, but to briefly con-
slider the consequences to ourselves

HUNT FOR SPIES ON
The greatest hunt for traitors and spies
in history is on today, The populace and
the army Joined in this systematic hunt for
pro-German intriguers. 1t was their brazen
activities that were the prime cause of the
downfall of the Car and his absolutst
Government. Not even the highest mobiles
were exempt from this spy hunt.
General Sukhomlinoff former Minister of
War was one of those arrested. He went
to join a notable company of those whose
words were law in other days.
The populace and the fully sympathetic
troops of the city brooked no opposition to
their control.
Baron Stokelberg fired on group Of
soldiers from his window. His house was
promptly stormed. The Baron was drag

quay and summarily executed.
Count Fredericks. the aged Minister of
the Imperial Household and aide-de camp

His life was spared but he was sent to
prison to Join other notables of the other
regime. Meanwhile his house had been
completely wrecked.
Countess Klein Michael. long suspected
as German spy, was discovered in hid

promptly took her In custody.
No more dramatic incident occurred in
the last few days of rioting than that of
the arrest of the former Minister of War,
