The speech made by Hon. David
Dudley Field at the meeting M
the National Bar Association in
Chicago is attracting much atten
tion becauie. it deals with d sub
ject in which there is a great (leal
of popular interest. In a general
way everybody feels that theire.is
a need of reform iii our legal pro
cedure, and especially a need of
expediting the business of the.
business of the courts. The prin
cipal complaint ftgftihst our courts
is not .that they rail to do justice
in their final decision, but that the
final decision in almost any crimi
nal case above the. grade of a mis
demeanor and. civil suits can be
delayed indefinitely; T justice is
defeated by refusing to her pei-
inissibh to speak, or decisions de
cisions deprived of value by the
requirement that they be repeated
again and again, each time at great
host to the litigants who appeal to
her to settle their conflicting
claims. -
Mr; Field pointed out a fact that
mayghave tiiacli tb do with the in
efficiency of our courts. We have
70.000 lawyers In the United
States, whereas France hfts only
8.000 and Germany 7,000.. The
proportion of lawyer ft to the popu
lation is in France one to 4,700, in
Germany one to 4,600, and in the
United States one to 900.
One reason for this disparity is
undoubtedly due to the fact that
iu this country the legal profes
sion is the recognized preparato
ry school^for a political career,
and in no^countryj/isjthe ambition
tojfigure in public life so preva
lent. But to the. lawyer litigation
is a business; and iff is perfectly
natural that he should desire to
make the most out of business pos
sible. Gan he m^kb most by liti
gation that drags through the
courts for years? Is it to his in
terests that disputes be quickly
settled by the courts?
Of course it is trite that the
ideal lawyer serves his client hon
estly and truly, looking out for
his interests and not for his own
fees. It is possible that a majori
ty of the membefft df the profes
sion do this j biit it remains & fact
that fifideif any sensible and just
procedure there is no need for
70.000 iawyers in the United
States. The experience iff ether
nations, where the administf ation
of the law is far more perfect,
shows this tb be true.
Of course no authority,'can in
terfere and say that only iso, .many
men shall enter the legal fprofes-
sion. This is a free country, and
every man has a rightfto setj|him-
self up as a cb’unsellor|of his fel
low-citizens in their disagreements
with each other; but thb govern
ment does' owe it to the people that
the laws' be §i> changed that the
decisions of the courts, on disputed
questions and iii criminal cases'
may be more promptly obtained
The legal machinery which pro
duces results* only after years of
effort,’ and after exhausting every
body whose duty or interest if is
to keep it in motion, is very badly
designed

Mlddlo dsorgia Progress—Sandoraville,
The inordinate, aspirations of
some men wiio arb ; , .really bright
and intellectual lights; Sdifietfines
lead them too far in pursuit of tfife
object in view.
While ambition should be deep-
rooted in the hfeart and mind of
every being who M higher
and nobler things, it should not be
thh alhcontrollifig passion to
which, sometimes! all things are
sacrificed, even virtue, honor and
Christian integrity. : ,-
It is true all greatness is borii of
ainbition, but only the truly griod
are fired with a fit and] blameless
aspiration. It is this kind that
exalts the citizen and inspires, him
with lofty emulation, but when it
be'coiiieft sordid and inordinate,
Wfiich it will do. Mm tempered
with wisdom and prudence; trans-
•porting its possessor away in a
whirl of delieiotis expectancy,
building a myriad of bright fan
cies beyond realization, then it is
that it degenerates once into a
curse rather than ableftsingl
That ambitioiis spirit that ena
bles a man to pave his way suc
cessfully through life, combatting
valiantly the stornis of adversity
afad emerging from the conflict
with an equipoise, is is one that is
not only blameless but laudable;
But this undue eagerness for
fame and worldly distinction that
fires the braiii iind pats reason to
flight, that blurs the fair escutch
eon and tangles the silken threads
of life is dangerous. The ambi
tion offany man whose fame is
mbunting’oiijhigh wiiigfe becomes
a menace to the menace of that
country that gives him citizenship.
It has ever been so and will con
tinue so to the end of tirge.
All Europe,"terrorizedland fran
tic, was cemented in alliance to de

servient .to Caesar’s aggrandize
ment. Zenobia, noted fol] her
beauty and attainments, and who
was not only (Jueen of Palmyra,
but of the qast, made an eloquent-
defense of her ambitious nature.
To each of these the tidp of for

b'ornejjoh the current of thefworld’s
applause, but too true, alas! they
met their unhappy ends.
