The Association of American Law Schools has formally expressed the opinion that it is altogether too easy in this country for a man to become a lawyer; therefore there are too especially too many poor ones, Says the Detroit Journal: ‘This is a conclusion that many of us reached long ago. It is much easier for the young man to become a lawyer than a carpenter, and many a good carpenter has been lost in a poor lawyer. A good carpenter is one of the most useful of men, but a poor lawyer is a nuisance to the com- munity. He either becomes a burden on his family, or he essays to earn his living by any means within his power, and these means are general- ly unprofessional.” It is certainly true that this country could spare more of its law- yers than it could its carpenters There is no surplus of carpenters and there is most evidently a surplus of lawyers. A lawyer who is crowd- td out of regular practice because of his incompetency or his lack of char? acter, or even merely because there isn’t room for him, is more or less of a menace to the community, to his profession and to himself. He must live; and he hates to abandon his profession and seek honest work. If his character ig high, he may half starve on what crumbs may fall from the tables of the more for- tunate; if his character is not high he will seek to gain his living in the easiest way possible, and to a lawyer without conscience there are many ways open of making a living that in- volve mischief to the community and bring the profession into bad repute. Every, misfit in a profession tends to lower the moral tone of that pro- fession. To the manifest over-crowd- ing of the legal profession is due in a large measure to the evils of the practice of law. The ambulance- chaser, the pettifogger, the champer- tor, the instigator of usless litiga- tion, and from the ranks of those who sink because they are crowded away from the table of legitimate practice. Some of these misfits are naturally evil, no doubt; but the majority of them, it is fair to say, are because they have had to be bad to make a living in the law. If they had hap- pily been made carpenters instead of lawyers, they might have become respectable and useful citizens. It is too easy to become a lawyer, and if the law is overcrowded—and of neither of these items is there any doubt whatever—the remedy obviously is to raise the standard of qualification and to keep on raising it until those who are mentally and temperamentally unfit for the law are pushed back into the niches in which they belong. It is no reproach to either to say that a man fitted to be a good carpenter might be a bad lawyer, or that a man fitted to be a good lawyer might be a poor carp- enter. Carpentry is just as respect- able as the law; and in the present overcrowded state of the profession it would not be difficult to establish a case on the claim that carpentry is more respectable. The offenses of the bar are not confined to the lowly pettifogging class; those high in profession, skilled, tactful, wise and intelectual who teach high fi- nance how to evade the spirit of the law without breaking its letter, are greater offenders than any.—Duluth Herald. JUNIORS DEFEAT TACONITE SUNDAY By Score of 13 to 5—~Have Not Lost a Single Game In Two Years of Playing. The Grand Rapids Juniors defeat- ed Taconitd Sunday by a score of 13 to 5. This organization has not lost a single game in the past two years and can justly claim the cham- pionship of northern Minnesota. They play the game for all there is in them and put up a good article of baseball. In the third inning the | score was 3 and 3, but in the fourth the locals managed to pull in five scores by doing some heavy hitting. From this time on the game was as good as won and at the end of the ninth inning the score was 13 to 5. Th§ line-up of the team was as | follows: Powers, 2nd b; Doran, cf; Whaling, p; Harold Lee, c; McAlpine ss; Sennett, 3rd b; Claud Lee, rf; Farrell, lf; Benton, 1st b. One of the features of the game was a double play by Sennett. There was a man on 38rd, when the batter hit an infield fly which was hooked in by Sennett, who immediately ran to 3rd, thereby putting out the run- ning, who had taken too big a lead. The battery, Will Whaling and Har- old Lee, played the game like profes- sionals and a number of strike-outs were put down to Whalings credit. A large and enthusiastic crowd was present to witness the game and the gate receipts were $24.70, which were ample to cover all outstanding bills against the organization. This will probably be their last game for the season. Erecting Township Toolhouse. George Williams, who secured the contract for building the township toolhouse and shed has laid the foundation, which is made of cement laid in the ground a depth of fourteer inches. The frame is already in course of construction and is 30x60, with twelve foot studdings. The build- ing will be entirely covered with steel roofing which will make it com- pletely water proof. It will be used as a place for storing the steam rol- ler, engine and other machinery and tools and will undoubtedly in the course of time save the township a large sum of money, as machinery which is left exposed to the elements soon needs replacing. It is located on Fourth street between Leland and Sleeper avenues. New ’Phones Installed. Manager Hostetter of the Mesaba Telephone company states that he has installed five new ‘phones in the past two weeks and still has a large number in prospect. We give below a list of the new patrons and their numbers: J. S. Gole, res. 182. J. S. Gole, office 266. Mrs. K. E. Doran, res. 101. Mrs. Anna Guitar, res. 33. A. A. Reid, res. 26. Paste this list in the book and save the central office time and trouble in looking up the number.

An invitation to all owners of cylinder machines— Columbia and others. We could argue the quality of Columbia Indestructible Cylinder Records untila year from now—but what good would it do if you could not prove it for yourself by coming into our store and seeing and hearing it? We could print a whole newspaper every day about the special and original Colum- bia processes of manufacture—and get no- where at all if the Records did not bear the evidence. COLUMBIA INDESTRUCTIBLE CYLINDER RECORDS won't break, no matter how roughly they are used, they won’t wear out,no matter how often they are played. Moreover, their tone is far purer, clearer, more brilliant than that of any other cylinder record made. Don’t merely take our word for it— come inside our store and listen. : R. R.
