Less Use for Lawyers
Among Englishmen
Than With L. S. Brothers

Cincinnati, Aug. 31-The average
Englishmnn, with all of his proven
bial insiStance upon his personal
rights, calls less often upon his
courts for relief than does his Ameri-
can cousin, declared John w. Davis,
former ambassador to England. in
an address here tonight before the
American Bar Association in which
he gave some random observations
on the organization of the legal pro-
fession in England and the admins
tration of English Justice"
"Who shall come forward with an
explanation of this fact, if fact it
be?" asked Mr.. Davis rs it sur
vival of days long gone when justice
was not only costly but tardy and
uncertain; is it because there exists
in England a class of lawyers whose
business lies wholly outside the
courts and in whose hands many
controversies are settled without ju-
dicial aid; or is there a reason deep
er still in the age-long habit of this
island people to respect the law they
have made and live their daily lives
" ltlliIi hCu CIc
startling as it may seem. the lit
igation of England and Wales is
relatively little more than the litiga-
ton in our Federal Courts alone;
and the vast tide of controversy that
flows through our state tribunals
may be credited to US as surplus
belligerency."
The speaker, after discussing the
ranks. and orders into which the le-
gal profession in England is divided,
declared that "in comparison with
the close knit organization sheltered
by the Inns of Court and Law So
ciety, we in America seem so many
scattered grains of sand" 1t is diff
ficult to make one familiar only with
the English atmosphere, he contin-
ued, understand that, in truth, not
withstanding this Association, there

Bar There are. instead. scattered

state bars, with a Federal bar here

Of common origin or discipline"
marked spirit of progress es-
pecially in the domain of criminal
law and procedure. Mr.. Davis said,
has been shown in recent years by
the legal profession of England. In
addition to sweeping changes in the
Judicature Acts of 1872, 1874 .lnd
1875, he declared. Justice has been
brought nearer to the masses by the
enlargement of the common law jur-
isdiction Of the county courts"
When all comparisons have been
made, and all differences discount
ed" Mr.. Davis said in conclusion,
1.-The fact remains that the members
of the legal profession in England
are in very truth our brethren over
seas. The common law by which
we live has it's roots in English soil.

and a man. They were removed to
the Somerset hospital at Skowhegan
where they were placed on the dan

Both the women and the man
steadfastly refused to give their
names to anyone, the officers, or the
doctors. but they finally admitted
that one of the women was from Mil

ing his name or where he was from
According to the story as learned
they called Mr.. Stott out at about
1 o'clock this morning stating that
they were unable to start their car
Mr.. Stott got out his team and towed
them up one side of the hill and
then they started down the other
saying that they would get the car
going before they got to the bottom.
The car gathered speed quickly and
according to those who saw it was
going at least so miles an hour when
it reached the bottom of the hill
The driver was unable to bring it
around the turn and it went over
small bridge there trapping the oc-
cupants beneath it. They were
quickly rescued and taken to the
hospital where DIR. Richardson at

Dear Sir:
My attention has been directed to
a statement in the Journal of August
27th regarding Walter Bachelor of
Garland under arrest for suspected
burning of buildings in that vicinity;
that he was one time patient in the
Augusta State hospital for observa-
ton. This is an error as he was
never a patient in this hospital. The
error occurred possibly because of the
fact that DR.. Haskell, late superin-
tendent of the Bangor State hospital,
and myself examined Walter Bachel-
der while he was an inmate of the
prison at Thomaston, at the request
of the Governor and Council during
the time that they were considering
pardoning him.
Our examination shows that Mr..
Bachelor was not insane, but feeble
minded.
Sincerely yours,
F.. c. TYSON.

RESPECT FOR LAW

The discussion Of this timely sub
ject by Attorney General Daugherty
in his first speech since assuming
that office should leave little doubt
as to where he stands on the en-
forcement of law, whether it may ap-
ply to the liquor problem or to law
breakers of other varieties. His con-
ception of the subject is one with
which the reader will do we'll to ac-
quaint himself. Those who have
been striving to condone disloyalty
and the acts of those who have en-
deavored to undermine our institu-
tions, on the ground that their Of
fenses are of a political nature, will
not like what the attorney general
has to say. He sees no comparison
between the offence known to inter-
national law as of political nature
and the offence against the domestic
laws of the country in which the Of
fender lives.
With regard to the rights of prop
erty he does not find that these are
antagonistic to our rights to life, Lib
erty and happiness. If this is the
wealthiest age it also is the age
which makes the greatest demands
on that wealth. for schools, for
transportation and the advantages of
the civilization we enjoy. His con-
ception is the broad one of the man
who wishes to pay an adequate tax
for what is needed, and looks to the
results rather than to the size of the
levy
The preservation of this wealth. Of
spiritual as well as of material wealth,
he sees to be conditioned on the
supremacy of the law; that what
most tends to undermine the law is
the opinion that the law is unfairly
administered. While he disclaims be-
lief in nostrums and evidently dis

He reminds us that the executive
department of the government can
