Here is one of the propositions: “Duties to the State—The lawyer's first duty is to the state. He is commissioned by it and should uphold and protect it. Therefore, he should not use his talents for ends that are in his judgment detrimental to the public welfare. * * * oe 2 “The state is entitled to his unbiased judgment in all such situations. By reason of his learning and experience, the law- yer is peculiarly fitted for effective and enlightened service, and the state is entitled to his aid in promoting and safeguarding public interests.” This is the high and honorable position. It may never have yet been so expressed in the canons of the American Bar asso ciation, but it has been because of general acceptance that this was what a lawyer meant, that the legal profession has been popularly rated as the highest and most honorable. The state— the people—has conmmissioned the lawyer, but not until he has acquired a certain amount of learning and experience; and, in addition, to the lawyer has been intrusted, very largely, the making of the laws, while the matter of finally determining what is the law and of the procedure in arriving at justice have been wholly intrusted to the lawyers. Ethics is one thing, practice another, and the time is ripe for the lawyers to begin to see that the people are becoming un- easy under the laws as they operate and as lawyers practice We are getting too much law and too little justice, and justice is too much a matter of fees and “pull.” Too often does the lawyer use his talents for ends that are detrimental to the pub- lic welfare, but the cure of it will probably develop in popular action rather than in mere formal adoption of a canon in ethics Still, the American Bar association ought to have tts ethics of record. It’s good advertising, and the people will take it. like the nostrums of quack doctors, until they “feel bad’"to the haut of endurance. One by one the pioneers are passing away. The last to go ts Michael 5S. Drew, who, 58 years ago chose the state of Washington as his future home. Here he reared a family and made a host of friends, and here bis name will be recorded as one of those who helped to blaze the way that those who followed might come and live iu greater comfort.

Mr. Taft is going to talk to the Virginia Bar association tomor- row. But he probably isn't going to say anything abowt “injunction planks.” That's a subject that won't stand for much discussion on the part of repubiican spelibinders.
