Thomas of the Episeopal church in Wyoming gave a short and most interest- ing address before the bar as- sociation this morning in which! he called to the attention of the members three matters to which he be- lieved they should give greater atten- tion. These were the drawing of wills, di vorce, and general culture. In the: matter of divorcee, which the bishop defined as more, than a civil_con- tract entered into by consent and to be broken at will, he declared that no man in te state is in a better position to serve God and the community than the attorney. “Do you question the party seeking the divorce to see if it can be avoided?" was his query. “Heve you brought about divorces which might not have been had you said a few words as a man, and not as a lawyer? You may lose a fee, but you will gain the respect of the community. and of the men who consult you on vital matters. “If after your protest, after honestly trying again, your client cannot for- give, then, of course, you must proceed, but at least you have used your keen mentality. for the benefit of your fel- low man.” A lawyer, when consulted by a man as to the making of a will, should not be Simply a “men Friday” for his ware WEATHER FORECAST Generally fair tonight and Sunday, warmer tonight and in southeast portion Sunday; cooler in northwest portion Sunday, VOLUME IV a STRIKESMUST GO, DECLARES BAR SPEAKER Billings J urist Believes Remedy Can Be Found to Replace Strikes and Lockouts in Adjustment of Labor Difficulties vital questions facing the American people today, according to Judge Edmund Nichols of Billings, Mont., one of the princigal speakers be- fore the Wyoming State Bar Association this morning.

He urged that the lawyer consider in his relation to the client the great re- sponsibility of a just disposition of worldly goods. That he try to aid in a just distribution, and that he use his influence in particular to ,enable, his client to balance his bequest so that it shell bes coming after him, In regard to the decrease of general culture, Bishop Thomas made the re- mark that if a dozen'men in Casper were paying the attention to art and literature formerly given such an archi- tecturdl blight as the city hall would not disgrace the city, a remark which brought forth laughter and applause.
