Frank Hogan.

At the moment when Frank Hogan
becomes president of the American Bar
Association, his friends salute him with
appreciation he has earned by devotion
to the law and by generous service to
his fellow man. First Washingtonian
to achieve this high place, he merits the
distinction because of the genius with
which he is endowed and the accumu-
lated experience with which his talents
are fortified and strengthened.
Mr.. Hogan is an exceptional person.
He has been self-made and self-disci-
plined. To tell the story of his career
would require the art of another Horatio
Alger. He is, in solemn truth, living
example of the fact that America still
is a land of opportunity for those who
are willing to adjust themselves to its
traditions of independence, hard work
and square dealing. His successes have
not resulted from wishful thinking, nor
from dishonorable compromise, nor from
deliberate cultivation of popularity. He
has not dreamed himself into leadership
in his profession. Neither has he stulti-
fed himself by opportunistic concessions
to any mob psychology. The price he
has paid for his fame has not included
betrayal Of his ideals.
1t happens that from the beginning
Mr.. Hogan has loved the law. To him
it was and always will remain a power
above the accidents and chances of
legislation and of Interpretation. He
sees in it the quintessence of human
wisdom. In his view, it is at worst
an aspiring gesture toward justice; at
best the attainment of equity in the
finest meaning of that noble word. BY
grueling labor he reached UNDERSTANDING
OF it, and by purposeful and profoundly
loyal worship of it he has qualified him.
self for the task he now undertakes.
But Mr.. Hogan wants no praise. These

lines, doubtless, will embarrass him.
Only because a social objective is in
volved are they written. The times are
troubled, war and revolution throughout
the world have vitalized anarchy as never
before in many generations. To head
the American Bar Association in such
period of turmoil is a heavy RESPONSE
blity. 1t may help the new president to
bear his burden If he knows that he has
the goodwill Of the general public as
well as the affection of those most
intimately acquainted with him.

Nightmare.

Nightmare.
I dreamt one night that I was poor
And creditors galore,
My humble stipend to secure,
Came knocking at my door.
I saw my friends from place to place
Go forth to rest or play,
While I must hit the toiler's pace,
necessarily each day.
I dreamt I had no motor car,
But trudged for many a mile:
From fashions haunts I dwelt afar.
My clothes were not in style.
And, then, as I bewailed my lot
There came the fiercest blow
In terror I awoke-great Scott!-
And found that it was so.

DLEASE give me little space in your

the farewell address of the Crown Prince
of Sweden. Gustav Adolphus. 1t was SO
full of gratitude and appreciation for the
receptions shown him and his entourage
by our people on the occasion of his re-

delivered in such an humble manner.
He did not leave one thing unsaid, and
in that clear, convincing style even his
voice had rich cadence that was thrill
