whose parents are able to advance him
about $1,000 a year for tuition and

what is going to become Of the "Abra-
ham Lincoln type Of law student,
who, without funds, has legal talents
of natural endowment, and who, after
self-training, perhaps would have far
more ability than the student pushed
through school by money power alone?
Upon the colored law student par
ticularly the proposed requirements Of
the American Bar Association are go
ing to work great hardships. Few Of
such students there will be who can
muster up funds with which to attend
expensive universities. For the most
part, such students must attend night
classes, and humble colleges, which
do not meet the favor Of the august
American Bar. In the meantime, fire.
quently, they must work to help de-
fray even the small expenses entailed
under such conditions. Even SO, who
knows what insignificant youth might
develop into a Daniel Webster.
We do not doubt the good faith Of
the American Bar Association in en-
deavoring to place the legal profess
sion upon a higher plane; but we do
doubt that the Association has given
consideration to the enforced denial Of
studying privileges, which many a
poor Blackstone" would face with
troubled brow and ladened mind.
Let the American Bar Association,
concurrently with its recommends
tons, work out a plan for financing
students who have abilities but who
have not funds. Let not the profess
sion lose fine prospective legal minds
which will be needed in the future
progress Of American law, order and
rights, Of which the poor are in far
greater need than are the rich.

Bootlegger Competition

The prohibition enforcement comic
opera goes merrily on. Now it seems
that the Government itself has entered
the bootlegging business. AT least it
seems evident that public money is
being used to operate bootleg distil-
leries and hooch houses. Those in
charge Of prohibition say that the
Whist Club Of New York and the pool
room in the Negro section Of Norfolk,
Va.,-where liquor was sold by under
cover enforcement men-were run for
the purpose Of procuring evidence.
This is funny. There is nothing said
about where the money goes that is
taken in from whisky sales in these
places. And while oceans Of whisky
and gin are being sold all over this
country and under the protection Of
police and others, yet our good Gov
eminent finds it difficult to get evil
dence. 1t is necessary to spend a
couple of thousand dollars for rent and
liquor stock, have the agent inveigle
a poor policeman into the place, make
him drunk and then arrest him and get
him fred.
And this is prohibition enforce
mentl No wonder ours is such a
prosperous country for those who have
the courage to sell liquor.
