vnxAiTS S', tenissSi COTTON FAC MAbON, G-A; oc * “ m & a o J 3 ■a S3 ‘TO'JstOOVH xovx oxi ‘BOSS^C "u£ tA • 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 im- ie r: portant subject. a very A wonderfully *anibifidlfi ban tam hen is Owned by th : e Regis trar of Deeds 5 of' Ionia County, at Ms home in Sebewa, Michigan.

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.

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.
