Anderson was one of the shrewdest
and most technically exact lawyers
IN all Iowa, and carried with him
tremendous weight when he spoke
before the supreme bench.
Hon. John H. Craig, spoken OF In
a friendly way by other lawyers az
Uncle john was one of the -ablest
lawyers who ever stood before a
court. AS an orator he was great,
thrilling, and even sublime. His
manner. voice and diction met with
universal admiration. Robert H.
Gilmore was a great legal light from
any angle; just, honest, uncompro-
missing, though always fair and sim
cere in his law practice and eloquent
10 a marvellous degree. By many he
was rated as one of the greatest, II
not the greatest lawyer at the Lee
county bar.
John p Hornish, S. P. Lomax.
Fl. Scott Howell and Gibson Browne
were prominent. Browne always
fought with logged determination
Howell was one of the most indus
trious and hardest working lawyers,
Lomax was for many years master in
chancery in the U. S. courts.
James Hagerman was great law
yer, star of the first magnitude as
speaker When worked up to the
right pitchA his oratorical flights
were dramatic and thrilling Craig,
Gilmore and Hagerman always kept
their audiences spellbound. James
Casey and his son, Sabert Casey,
]. ID. NJ. Hamilton, John Van valken-
berg and Wesley Hobbs were promi-
nent Fort Madison lawyers. William
Ballinger, Webster and Madison Bal
linger were prominent members OF
the Keokuk bar years ago. OF the
older set, Major w. B. Collins, w. j.
Roberts, Felix T. Hughes and John
E. Craig are the few that remain.
Webster Ballinger is still alive at
eighty years and practicing in Den
yer, while A. j. McCrary, lawyer
of ability and the highest personal
worth, left here several years ago
and is in the practice in Binghamton,
N. Y. Mr.. McCrary was republican
candidate for district Judge, though
not successful
It lends color of pathos to ones
thoughts as his memory runs back
over the list of these men, most Of
whom have passed to their reward.
Of the magnificent men whose
names adorned and honored the va
rious benches on which they sat, It
can be said they may have had their
superiors in brilliancy in the many
eminent lawyers who stood before
them, but they possessed that rare
quality known as the judicial tenn
permanent. James A. Garfield once
said to great audience, 1T is from
the calm level of the sea that all
heights and depths are measured"
So is is in the case of a Judge on
the bench. When the evidence is
all in and the arguments all made,
il is by the calmness and equilibrium
OF the judicial mind that law and
fact must be weighed. The facts
must be sifted and the deliberate
judgment of the court must read be-
tween the lines, choose the salient
points in the conflicting principles
OF law and technicalities and arrive
at sane and righteous decision.
OF the four lawyers OF the older
set remaining with us. all have been
held as able. conscientious and high

A DECOLETTE NATION.

A New York City lawyer by the name of S.
Leighton Brooks has started things in congress
to abolish the collar. Mr.. Brooks declares the
man or women who hereafter wears collar is
no patriot. Think of the thousands of men
and women who make g this uncomfortable har-
ness, says Mr.. Brooks; think of the other
thousands who make the buttons to hold it on
and lastly think of the discomfort amounting
IN Mr.. Brooks estimate, 10 torture, which mil
lions are suffering fro mthe collar. Mr.. Brooks
Is rather disturbed over not having heard from
congress and proposes now to start an anti
collar league. 1t is rather hoped that he will
resort to the league and not get the collar into
congress, especially the next congress 1t
would be just something like a collar contro
versy which might stall universal peace, prohi
bition and suffrage in congress. And ANYBODY
could join league; anyone might even leave
off collar without joining a league There is
something to the idea of mankind decolette
There is the time saved in the morning. now
spent in putting the collar on. There is the
time saved at night in taking it off There is
the saving IN time now wasted in looking for
the escaping collar-buton There is hot spirit,
too, which might be transferred to war uses
that has, from the origin the collar to now, con.
nected itself with its fit
But Mr. Brooks is boldly challenging some
thing stronger than the laws of the Modes, anG
Persians; he is challenging the mode. There is
no law which so insinuatingIy gets it's way as
the polite interdict, Sir it is not done - Man
kind starting boldly forth colarless would
meet this interdict Would mankind say sstut
tut for which it has high precedent, or would
!. it retreat and put on its collarsi

"A BENEFIcENT OCCUPATION. !,

1t is pleasant to hear construction work
in France called "a benefcent occupation of
French territory and facilities by Andrew
Tardieu. News correspondents have written
OF the magnitude of the construction work in
the way of docks, storehouses and terminal ia
cilities which our army have planned and
executed Id French seaports There is reason
to believe that some of it, perhaps a large part
OF it, will be permanent and will become as
set to the shipping facilities of the French ma
ton. Moreover, the construction work itself,
the methods and means and the supervisory in
ventlveness of our army engineers are com
mented on by the Paris newspapers as object
lessons If this nation in it's actual war work
made material contribution to the recovery
OF France to a prosperous future we shall. have
a double satisfaction in this work as both de-
