Lawyers Have More
Chances in Villages

Madison, Wis.-The lawyer has as
great an opportunity in the small
town as in the city as a beginner,
Justice Burr w. Jones of the state
supreme court, told fifty-six Marquette
University law students when they
were admitted to the bar by the court
yesterday afternoon. Justice Jones
declared that the able lawyer will find
promotions and eventually their place,
wherever they start practice.
The class is the largest ever ad-
mitted to the court, according to Prof.
Max Schoetz, dean of the Marquette
law school. Dean Schoetz and other
members of the law faculty attended
the ceremonies. .
"We members of the court remem-
Der the days when we were admitted
to the bar" Justice Jones said. "They
were landmarks in our lives, as this
day is landmark in yours. 1t marks
the time Of your embarking in your
great adventure. So we are able to
appreciate somewhat the feelings and
emotions which you entertain.
"Some of you no doubt, have not
selected the place where you are go
ing to begin your work; some of you
may have had anxious hours in con-
sidering that problem. 1t is an inn
portant question, but think that
young lawyers sometimes exaggerate
the Importance of the problem, be-
cause in our profession, the lawyer
finds his place and it makes not SO
much difference whether you COM
mence your work in a small town or
large one. AS years go on, if you
are faithful and persistent, you will
find you will not have to hunt for
places and promotions, they will be
seeking you"
Justice Jones said the lawyer just
beginning with a small capitol has as
great an opportunity as the one with
large capitol.

Conflict of Ideas
of Legality of Day

Madison.-Sharply conflicting opin-
ions as to constitutionality Of the Ma
tional Defense act will probably lead
Attorney General Herman /. Ekern to
appeal from the decision Of Judge E.
Ray Stevens in circuit court here
holding that the national guard is pri-
marily a state militia organization.
The circuit court decision will not
be allowed to rest, it is thought, be-
cause of desire to clarity the issue
with an opinion before higher court.
Ekern's principal contention, as set
forth in his brief is as follows:
"To hold the National defense act
constitutional it must be considered
as legislation under the army powers
of Congress; and national force or
ganized under the army powers must
necessarily be federal military or
ganization rather than a state militia
organization"
He then declares, that since passage
of the defense act the militia has re-
verted to the United States since Con-
gress' constitutional power to raise
and maintain armies is the only basis
for legality of the act.
If appeal from Judge Stevens de-
cision is brought, it will probably be
filed in Supreme court here this fall.
1t is also possible that decision of
the federal courts will be sought on
the question through different chan
nels. ---------- n = ---4--

No Agriculture
Without Industry

Berlin.-Industry is just as essential
to agriculture as agriculture is to in
dustry, Arthur R. Hirst, Republican
candidate for governor, declared here
today, in urging the development of
industries in smaller cities of the
state
with the developm mt of roads and
means of transportat, on, there Is 60
ing to be tendency more and more
for industries to gravitate toward the
small communities, Mr.. Hirst SAID,
"This is good thing from every point
of view. There is no place better to
rear family than the small city.
Industry is just as essential to agri-
culture as agriculture is to the indus
try. Any policy which tends to curb
industry in state tends to injure
agriculture. Let the farms lie untitled
and grass will grow on the streets
of the cities. Let the wheels of in
dustry cease to run, and the farmers
products would lie unused and unso1d.
Wherever taxes are levied they tend
to pass on to the consumer"
Mr.. Hirst also attacked the conten-
ton of Governor Blaine that his adj
ministration has been one of re-
trenchment and economy" He quoted
reports of the state tax commission
which he declared showed expendi-
lures for the first Blaine administra-
ton increased $8,700,0oO over the last
term of the previous administration.
"When the Governor comes here,
ask him to explain why few years
ago he introduced a resolution to in
vestigate the election of Senator Isaac
Stephenson, why two years ago he
made his campaign on the basis of a
TRADE against Senator Newberry of
Michigan; why he gloats over the Tea
pot Dome Investigation and yet, in the
last legislature he fought and de-
feated an effort to investigate his
own administration. The best reason
that it needed an investigation was
found in the fact that Mr.. Blaine was
afraid of it. If it was good thing
to lift the teapot dome at Washing
ton, why was it not a good thing to
lift the lid of Wisconsin's teapot dome
in Madison. The people of Wisconsin
are suspicious of the present admins
tration and demand an answer to these
questions"

last few wears has seen the growth of
this until it has become an abuse and
a nuisance and committee has been
forced to take action. A good many
players and coaches feel that it would
have been wiser not to go so far as the
committee has done but to permit
tees for the kickoff. The commit
tee has, however, forbidden them en-
tirely, and the ball must be kicked
from the ground without the adven-
titious aids of mounds of earth. A
comrade may, however, steady the ball
for the kick.
AS a kind of Offset to this, the
kickoff is now to be made from the

Corporations gradually get the pub

are like Americans, in that they jig
gle the phone receiver hook when they
get slow service. So the telephone

moves down the line.

then, when the bearded man from the

change, he asked him what he did FOR
living.
"Oh, usually work around a mill"
was the reply.
