BRANDS LAWYERS AS TOO MERCENARY 3enator King Declares Bar Has Greatest Influence in Address at N. U. That the American lawyer is becom- ing too mercenary and commercial was charged last night.by Senator William H. King of Utah before the sraduates of the law school and school of business administration of National University at its fifty-sixth annual con- vocation, held in the auditorfum of the Central High School. “I have felt that the legal profes- sion is one of the most important of any of pursuits of the people,” Sena- tor King said Vhenever there has been a corrupt and degenerate bar, there has been corrupt and degen- erate people. Usually, I am glad to say, lawyers are the leaders of the community in its efforts for personal freedom and the ats of the ln dividual. He pointed out the very large nart lawyers had played in the writing of the Constitution and the establishment of the legal systems in the country, and then entered into the discussion of the growth of law. It was to Rome, he said, that modern law owed its birth, for the people who had a conc ing of jur idence, justice and the rights of the individual. Much of the Roman glory was due to the wisdom of her lawyers and much of the ig- nominy of her downfall was brought on by the 1 on forgetting the ideals wh 1d lie back of all law. Some Balk Ideals. “I regret,” he declared, feeling that lawyers are not so de- voted to the high ideals and’the mo- rality of the law as we aver we are. And it must be said there are members of our profession who do not under- stand the purpose and character of law or the fundamental principles of which laws must be based. A people is judged by its laws, by its practices of jurisprudence and jus- tice. Thereafter lawyers must be lead- ers in the development of a people’s and must watchfully regard it. Y must remember that they officers of the court and are, therefore asi-public officlals and owe responsibility to the State not merely to themselves. suit of fat emoluments, but the guard- ing of the sanctity and health of the law, and hence the communit Senator King was given the- honer- |- ary degree of doctor of laws. A simi- lar degree was conferred upon two s of the law school , Hayden Johnson and Conrad Syme, and also upon Charles H. Meril- lat, a member of the board of trustees. Maynard A. Clemens, recently ap- pointed dean of the school of busi- ness administration, and Dr. Edson Leone Whitney, " economist for the Department of Labor and professor of economics, were given the honor- ary degree of doctor of letters. Rev. Clarence E. Rice, D. D., pas- tor of the Church of Our Father, Uni- versalist, delivered the invocation and benediction, and Sol Minster’s Orches- tra gave several selections of popular music.

The number of people an- nually put to death owing to this horrible superstition is unknown, for the witch doctors pursue their dread- ful trade in secret, but it is believed to be very large, for no mercy:is ever shown to any one convicted of witch- craft.
