Many people who are old endugh'l/ ) to have had opportunity to.make the eomparison are ‘strongly impressed with the marked difference between the average lawyer of to day and the average lawyer of a generation ago. And the comparison is not f& le to the present day practitioner. Of course there are many strong and able men at the bar now we are not saying that the ugil\pp— fession is “going back,” hn_l‘!‘:‘;s"'i don’t have the monumental la | of the old day., those mlrvefglflflf" polished and acute intellects, u‘l.-. prehensive as acute, which domipat-; : ov, | as important, as the eitrus fruit in- dustry 18 to Florida, amd it cannot be said that there is much prineiple exhipited on the part of citrus fruit groWers in demanding a protective tabiff’ for ‘their benefit ana at the a;ame time advocating the abolition of the tariff on about everything | else.” Here’'s & pointer on the prohibi- tion question which we find in’an exchange:: “A temperance club has been fcrmed among some of the Chieago bartenders. The secretary of the club states that a member cannot drink and ‘make good,’ ds drink gets the man behind the bar as quickly as the man in front, and adds: ‘If any one watits to drink, let tiie man on the ‘otfier sl of the Har g1t b , but i ‘each case it ; ! been ed every occasion and flooded #he: oty Ul 0f a crank and degen- darkness of obscure questions. with the light of learned and ' brf vt .minds. And we need them now more’ than ever, for the law eonluntfy grows more complex as it has to meet the requirements of conditions far more difficult and involved than the stmple civilization of our forefathers. One chief trouble is that the stand- ard of admission to the bar has been 80 lowered that a great many men ! get through now who have but scant * qualifications for their work, and we have in consequence lawyers far in excess of the demand who degenerate into pettifoggers and shysters in| their efforts to eke out a living. Lis- ten to what Congressman Howland, of Cleveland, Ohio, says on this sub- Ject in a recent speech at the annual reunion o fthe alumni of the West-' ' ern Reserve university: “This country 8 overrun with shysters, not one of whom is capable of half way interpreting the laws of the country, which are growing more intricate every day. If the present condition continues, with State Leg- islatures and the federal government .grinding out laws every minute of he, day, I predict that within fifty years it will take an absolute .genius to find out whgt the law really is. Universities of this country should devote their- efforts to raising the standard of the men they graduate’ in the law. They should endeavor to #chd out into the world men of bril- Mant minds, men who will reflect eredit upon their alma’ mater and upon the high calling they * have _ehosen. Until law schools' through- out the country insist upon a man having an academic training “thid _ eondition will never be brought about.” ; oo i The Inverness Chronicle gives out & bit of Intormation of speclal inter- est to Conféderate veterans when it says that a bill will be ‘#htroduced in the next Legislature compelling every pensioner, as a part proof of service rendered, to belong to some camp. Says the Chronicle: membership of.a camp will not mec- essarily entitle one to a pension, but 1¢'he fs not a member it will be against him, for in this way it ® prove than he falls to fully pre his service.” It would be better, course, for the pensioners all to he- long to the camps of the U. C. V. for worthy organization would be much strengthened by the added ! ship, dut the bill referred to by the Chronicle will never become law and ought not to. The veterin’s -olatm to the pension rests upon a basls having no esseniipl cbnnection; \with: n member- | aRd ;o‘i‘lta representing no faction or pub- (Tic gentiment in any part of the | country, not even in the case of Lin- !eoln,” whose murder appalled the |South. But in ‘Mexico it is different, and that a large, perhaps dominant, sentiment approves the killing of Madero can hardly be doubted. s A The St. Petersburg ministers are going to take a vote of ‘the 16ts in that city on the question of “wet” or “dry” for St. Petersburg. If this { vote excludes the ladies we predict that the ministers will be shocked {and disappointed by a “wet” major- {ity. A large proportion of tourists who want a ““dry” town at home pre- {fer the brifle off \when are off jon a tour which may Include an oc- . casional -toot. o Why, sure; it m-.fltl&”-ylng that the proposed $50,000,000 bond {issue for good roads would have to be 'put up to the people. The Legis- ,lature could prevent the proposition | to them in the shape of a joint reso- | lution but it couldn’t enact the meas- | ure into law. —_— Next comes St. Patrick’s Day, then | Eills, the undersigned, as freighi] Easter, then the Fourth of July, then [88ent of the Atlantic Coast L‘“Q a corporatioti || ‘Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and then we do it all over again.
