Cutcheon of the local committee of arrangements apolo- | gized to the delegates of the Amerlcan Bar assoclation during today's for the “extreme warmth' of their welcome, He added, however, that the thermometer was today being pulled down.

JUDGE DICKINSON'S BRAVERY. The trip was without noteworthy incident until the return to the city, when a d'stress- Ing aceident occurred. As cne of the boats landed at the dock the venerable James K. Joy, 64 years old, and the oldest member of the Detroit bar, in some way lost h's f-oting on the gang plank and stepped off into the river. Mr. Joy would probably have been drowned had it not been for the promptne:s and bravery of Judge Dickinson of Ten nessee, assiztant attorney general of the United St who gallantly leap:d into the water and supported Mr. Joy until the officers and crew of the yacht came to his assist- ance. The section of legal cduecaticn had charge of the evening session. Prof. James Bradle Thayer presided. Austin Abbott, secretary of the section, offered a recommendation that admission to the bar be placed under the direction of the courts of last resort, which suggestion was left to the consideration of the delegates Mr. Justice Brewer of the supreme court cf the United States was then introduced and on “A Better Education the of the Profession.” Justice Brewer said in substance: The administration of justice would soon be considered a mockery If first impres- slons controlled every c fut greater ex- edition can be obtain without tract- ng from the fullest examination and con- sideration, Shorten the time of process. Curtall the right of continuances. When A case has been commenced deny to ary other court the right o interfere or take jurisdiction of any matter that c brought by elther party into the pending Jtigation. Limit the right of review. Terml- nate all review In one appellate court. Re wvise the rule of declsion In appellate cour and Instead of assuming that injury wa done If error js shown, require the party complaining of a judgment or decree to show affirmatively not me v that some error was committed in the trial court, but also that If that error had not been com- mitted the result must necessarily have been different. It may be said that this woeuld make reversals very difficult to ob- tain. They should be difficult, The end of litigation should be almost always in the trial court. Business men understand that it Is best that the decisions of their com- mittees of arbitration should be final and without any review, while some of our profession seem to think that justice is more likely to be secureld if by repeated re. views in successive court 1 to the high- est In the nation, the fees of counsel can be made to equal, i not exceed, the amount in cont rsy between t PNts, In criminal cases there should be no ap- peal. I say It with reluctance, but the truth Is that you can trust a jury to do jus- tice to the accused with more safety than you ean an appellate court to secure pro tection to the public by the speedy punish- ment of a criminal. To guard against any possible wrong to an accused a board of Teview and pardons might be created with power to set aside a conviction or reduce the punishment, If on the full record it ap- pears that a technical error has been com- mitted, out that the defendant is not guilty or has been excessively punished. The truth of it is, brethren, that in our desire to perfect a system of administra- tion, one which shall finally extract from confused masses of facts and fictions the absolute and ultimate verities, we forget that tardy justice is often gross injustice, ‘We are putting too heavy burdens on our clients, as well as exhausting the patienc of the publie. Better an occasional blunder on the part of a jury or a justice of the eace than the habit of proiracted litiga- ion. HOME RULE ID The fdea of home rule ernment is growing in men more and more see that the wise thing 18 to cast upon each nmunity full re- #ponsibility the mal ment of its 1 1 affairs, and that the great danger to free governn t I8 In the centralization of ower. 1s it not in lne with this thought hat s far as possible the final settlement of all controversies which are in themselves local shall be by the immediate friends and nelghbors of the litigants? Was not that the underlying thought of the jury as first established? And while we hoist that the fuy, ystem is the great bulwark of our iberties, are we not in danger of under- muning its strength and impairing its influ. eiice by the freedom of appeals? Is not the implication therein that the jury and the trial judge cannot be trusted, and is not the sense of responsibility ta away from both when they understand that no matler what they may decide some superior and supposed ‘wiser” tribunal Is Koing Lo r.v ew thelr decisions and correct whatever of mis- take they may make. It our profession is to maintain its promi- nence, if it is going o continue the great profession, that which leads and directs the movements of soclety, & longer course of preparatory study must be required. A bet: er_ education is the great need and most fmportant reform. The door of admission to the bar must swing on reluctant hinges and gnly he bo permitied to pass through who has by continued and patient study fitted himself for the work of a safe counsellor and the place of a leader. Why is a higher education today the spe- cial need of the profession? Because, first, the law is a more intricate and difficulf sclence than heretofore. Because, second, 1o preserve the confidence of the community in the profession each member must be qualified for the higher demands now made upon it. Because, third, his mistakes are frelghted with greater possibilities of injury. When Dbusiness transactions arc nothing more than an occasional b er of chattel or a sim- le contract for labor a mistake works but Ittle injury, and only to a few. But when they involve the great railroad and commer- clal dealigs so common today, a mistake may be fruitful of large and’ widespread ruin. Because, fourth, soclety each day of its advancing clvilization needs and demands & wiser leadership. The welfare of human- ity rests mot on what has been accom- lished, but on the steps forward which it akes. I those steps are wisely adyised and prudentiy taken,th n we ma ; confidently look | for the coming on of the day of which poets have sung and which prophéts have foretold, when peace and righteousness shall il the earth. While, on the othier hand, If \lly ad- vised ‘and rashly taken, progress ceases and soclety resolves Itself again Into the an- archy and chaos from which it has so slowly arisen. EDUCATION IS NOT ALL 1 know that mere education s not all suf- ficlent. There must be & man to be edu- cated. It is an old and true saying that you cannot make a silk purse out of the ear of the female swine.

Official ~ re- turns have been received at the internal revenue office in San Francisco which show that the sweet wine industry of California is increasing faster than any enterprise fos- tered by the federal government and that California ranks first among the states of the unfon in this industry.

If the demand for sweet wines continues it is probable that the wine com- bination will soon advance prices. et 2o by Pender Republi Primaries, PENDER, Neb., Aug.

The program was changed and Senator Thi ton spoke thi; morning, with General Thayer on the plat form also, while Senator Allen will not be heard till tomorrow. Ex-Senator Ingalls of Kansas was prevented from coming today, as | announced, much to the disappointment of those who were expecting to listen to the tute Kansan. An immense throng was gathered in the grand stand when Senator Thurston, General Thayer and Captain Ad- ams pushed their way through the crowd of those standing near the platform THURSTON'S TALK TO THE VETERANS Just as Senator Thurston was stepp'ng on the speakers’ stand J. G. Tate, who was giv ing a short talk to the crowd, humorously ended his discourse by saying that he had performed a kindly act by drawing a crowd for Senator Thurston to talk to. Captaln Adams asked Tom Majors to preside upon the platform. Mr. Majors referred to the part played by the father of a son too ycung to £0 to battle, but old enough to have graved on his heart the love of country. Then he introduced Senator Thurstcn as ‘“‘cne of our kind and creed, our own dear Jchn M. Thurston.” Senator Thursten sald: I beg to differ with Mr. Tate in the remark that he drew this crowd for me to spesk to. No living man drew together this audis e; It was the spirit of patriotism and the memory of herolc deeds that drew th's aud'eice; it was in order that by power of numbe-s they might give expression to the love of the grandest country that ever blessed the earth.’ He oppose] the argument that mestings of t}e and Army engendered sectio-a'ism. 5 § take it he faid, “that the story of the great war shall never grow old. It should be taught in every public school and em- blazoned between the stripes of the mest glorious flag the world has ever se'n. That great flag, preserved by your hands, should float from every school house every day in the year. Blue and gray lie in eternal s um- ber side by side. Heroes, they Zell side by side to expatiate a nation's sin. But through the mingled tears that fall alike on graves of north and south shine eyes full of hope for the nation’s future.” He appealed for stronger American’sm and favorel the restriction of immigration, “In this glorious repub’i’e every man’s son may attain the greitest honor In the gift of the country. How much you and I may have falled the greatest hope is always ours that cur chiliren may grow up to attain laurel wreaths of highest success. 1f we do our duty by our children, teaching them to love American institutions and the American flag, when we shall have passed away we shall still live in the splendid achievements of our children. A rentiment is growing that the cld soldier has had enough He has had enough—enough trouble, ensugh wounds, enough poverty, enough of the pres. ent national administration, not to menton another administration of which it is not proper to speak here.”” Discussing the pen sion question, he made an appeal fr more liberal administration of the pension depart- ment, and concluded by pledging his support for any radical change in the pension depart- ment.

The relief corps is an auxiliary to the Grand Army, and in later years has grown both in numbers and importance. It is both a social and charita- ble organization, its chief purpose being to aid the dependent veterans of the civil war and their families. In Its organization it is thoroughly democratic, though not in the olitical significance of that word, its mem- bership not being confined to wives, mothers or children of veterans, but open to all loyal women. Mrs, Mary J. Dowd of Hastings welcomed the women of the relief corps, and Mrs. C. BE. Adams of Superior responded on thelr behalf in a few well chosen words. In- teresting addresses were made by Mrs. Rup- per of Harvard, deputy counselor; Mrs. Hards of Cen'ral City, past department president Mrs. Potter of Litchfield, the president of the corps; and Mrs. Richardson of Lincoln another past president. The Hamilton guard, the girls' company from Lexington, brought forth great applause for their drill. Musie both vocal and instrumental interspersed the program. In the evening the program was continued, opened by an address by Mrs. Mary R. Morgan of Alma, the rest of the exercises consisting of recitations and musie, At Camp Logan the boys are becoming quite at home in camp quarters. The rou- tine of drill and instruction varies little from day to day, except in the marked improve ment in some of the poorer companies. The prize contest of tomorrow afternoon is the talk of the camp. The general opinion is that the Omaha Guards will bring home the governor's cup, but the Norfolk company will make them earn it. The David City company aid not expect to enter the competition when it came, but will doubtless make a credita- ble showing. The action of the Thurston Rifles in refusing to compete has been both condemned and commended. The Rifies belong to the First regiment and the Guards to the Second, so each company has supporters Some say that the Rifles were perfectly justi fled In not going in, while others say that their real reason for not drilling is that their captain is not here and they don't want to take their nces of being beaten. The feeling between the two companies has hoen rather strained since last year, and the riy alry between them is very sharp.
