LAWYERS'
CREED
Scratch an Attorney and
You Have an Active
Participant.
s By ERNEST McOAFFEY
Because He Is Regarded as a
"Ce Maa" He Gets the
Pestle's Business.
SCRATCH a lawyer and you will
find ft politician. It did not need
an asqaalntance with practical
pollUca to know that the mem
ber! of my profession were active
participants In the game. But as
time went on I was surprised to
find tne mat .and.- farreachJna; . Influ
ence that they' wielded. If a man
really acta out to make politics
his profession, he would better first
study law and get admitted to the bar.
The average popular impression of a
lawyer in the "submerged tenth" at
mosphere of political surroundings, Is
that he la "n confidence man." But
In that environment this Is considered
as a valuable asset To be "slick."
"smooth," to be hailed as a "schemer"
by this contingent Is to have Its most
profound homage. In such labyrinths
sf the political catacombs their ides
of a lawyer is a man who can-make a
good talk and twist the "law" any way
to suit the necessities of the occasion.
Bat he is always a man to be looked
ap to and consulted with.
The result of this outlook on the
legal profession, is to send various
young fellows to the law colleges, and
to the private offices of full-fledged at
torneys. In their endeavor to get ad
mitted to practice and have the right
to "hang oat a shingle." If they are
of foreign nationality they readily ac
quire a knowledge of the English lan
guage, and can, of course, speak their
own native tongue. In this way they
used 'to pick np a little practice hang
ing around'the courtrooms of the jus
tices of tho peace, particularly the po
lice magistrates. In those days they
did not even need a license to practice
before a Justice. And all the time they
were mixing in the primary fights, get
ting on tho delegate tickets, running
for the legislature a little later on, and
even making bold "stabs" at gettingl
the nomination for state senators. 1
ran across them in every direction,
and most of them were almost entirely
innocent of any legal knowledge. "The
rule In Shelley's case" was no differ
ent to them from the rule in any fel
low's case. No reason why "Shelley"
should have "any the best of it!"
But weren't they "hustlers! " A lot
of them were "studying law," a few of
them were admitted by favor of a cer
Uficate from one of the legal "mills,"
otherwise known as law collesps, and
some others were practicing before
the justices on the "catch-as-catch-can"
plan of professional ethics, and de
pending on what is popularly known
as "pull" or "drag" to get their clients
off. Each justice knew about how
much influence a petitioner for anyone
had who appeared before him. If It
was a lawyer who was also an alder-i
man (quite a frequent occurrence),
the course of justice was extremely
apt to be tempered with "mercy," 'to say
the least. Fines were "suspended" on
future good behaviour, men let go on
their "personal recognizance," fines
were made as low as the law allowed,
and other favors bestowed on many
of these legal lights. An alderman
who was a lawyer was expected to put
in his time for nothing, depending on
future political favors for his reward.
There was very little money In it for
him.
The candidates for the legislature
were occasionally numerous as legal
aspirants. Each one of them knew
that when he got down to Spring
field he would "bump up" against all
sorts of legal talent; country lawyers
as shrewd as they make them, "singed
cats," not so much for looks, but
craftier than "all get-out" So the
stepping-stone par excellence for law
making -preference was to be a mem
ber of the bar. When they reached
the legislature they either got in with
the "grafters," If there happened to
be grafters In that session of the assembly,-or
stayed on the outside and
put in their efforts for just legislation.
There was never a glut of "just legis
lation" that I can remember. And
yet like Brutus, Casslus, et al., they
were all, all, honorable men. I don't
suppose that a penny of money was
ever spent for improper legislation In
the state legislature. I don't suppose
that laws were passed by undue In
fluence of corporations or individuals,
I don't suppose that there was a lobby
at the state capital. I don't suppose
that there were cliques and rings in
the legislature, 'which worked to
gether, regardless of politics, to run
legislation for "what there was In
it" But what can an honest minori
ty doT
As for reformers, the legislature
"had them for breakfast" when they
had the hardihood to kick against the
pricks.
t In the city, the lawyers had of ne
cessity the choice of all judicial of
fices. Chief among these were the
judgeships, and once a lawyer was
elected jadge he could usually retain
the position for another term, often
for several terms. But he would not
"play politics? until along about time
for an election to take place. It
rather amused, and sometimes dis
gusted, me to see the patent hypocrisy
of these members of the judiciary. Be
fore getting the chance to run they
cast dignity to the winds and were out
after the nomination as hot rs Her
cules. They would get young, fellows
to chase around helping them drum up
support la, the bar primary (a sort
of "kissing goes by favor" expression
of "the Bar association"), and they
were not at all. too proud to shake
hands with perspiring ward workers
and "bosses," and even laugh at stale
pleasantries about the outlook. But
"Oh! What a difference in the mora
lag" the morning after election, I
they happened to set elected.
After the first flush of joy In victory
had passed away, how the dignity of
their position would envelop them and
enfold them and swathe them with
successive layers of self-esteem until
they could swell up and out no" longer.
How they would, reseat the Idea, the
bare Idea, mind yon, of mixing in any
thing ao derogatory to the Bench, to
the sacred Bench, as politics. As for
listening .to the suggestion of who
would be a good man for clerk, or
who might be glad to get a job as
bailiff for his night and day services
for months, tut, tut think of the
"ermine," think, of the sanctity that
doth surround a Judge.
But bless yon, when the time began
to' swing arod for another election,
how easily an, sincerely these good
men forgot all about that assumption
of aloofness and political1 chastity.
Tou would meet them In the little
petty back halls In the various wards,
at the downtown meetings and at the
clubs, and they always remembered
you (if you were active in the party),
and they always had a choice lot of
"guff" about the principles of the
party, which, translated into the ver
nacular meant: "I want to hold on to
my Job.". Why, these fellows were
occasionally the' most ungrateful and
palpably hypocritical "skates" I ever
met. The most ordinary "ward work
er" could see through such a game as
this, without a second glance.
Of course the corporation counsel's
office, with a bunch of assistants, was
a fruitful place for a bestowal of
legal jobs. It had many a tough legal
nut to crack, and was a busy office.
Being right in the lime-light, and with
so many matters of Importance, the
bead of the office had to be somebody
who could do more than "put up a bold
front" He had to be a lawyer, and
he was generally a good one. But
while this was a necessity, and while
he bad to have several live, able as
sistants, he could appoint by way of
helping out the party, .a number of
"assistant" corporation- counsels," who
could be "consulted" occasionally and
draw their salaries without going intc
"brain-storms" with fatigue. The num
ber of corporation counsels the "traf
fic" would bear varied with different
administrations. Some corporation
counsels pared it down to actual ne
cessltles. so far as possible. Others
expanded the list until it threatened
to stretch out "to the crack of doom."
The city attorney's office, being an
elective one, was a plum eagerly
-sought by the more active of the pure
ly political attorneys. He had a num
ber oppositions under him of assis
tants in the running of the office, and
these places were regularly filled from
the legal ranks of the party. Here,
then, were more niches to be filled up
with legal timber; and if a young poli
tician had "been admitted to the bar'
he had a chance of going in and get
ting a salary from the start and an op
portunity for experience which would
be invaluable to him. AH the city at
torneys I ever knew were orators, ex
cepting one. They were all active In
party work and party councils, anf
sometimes graduated from this office
either to higher political positions or
to portions with big corporations 11
they chanced to develop unusual ca
pacity as lawyers.
There were'other departments, often
appointive, where legal talent was re
quired, and there was always some
political attorney "ready at the drop'
of an interview to shoulder the white
man's burden and "take a hack" at the
city treasury. It is a noticeablo fact
that lawyers as a rule (I don't say
it because I am one myself) are hon
est in the practice of their- profession
I mean by this that they, don't em
bezzle money and prove unfaithful

to the trusts placed in them in as
great a proportion as other, profession
al and business men. The statistics
show this, strange as it may seem.
Some people claim that this is because
they know the penalties better. "In
reality, it Is because the transgres
sions are fewer. I never saw a lawyer
in an appointive or elective position,
drawing a salary from the party, who
was not expected to be a "live propo
sition" as a worker for the party's
good.
In the clubs where politics was
the main topic of Interest, the
lawyers gathered in great numbers.
Here was where many a judicial candi
date sunned himself In the eye of pop
ular favor, and carefully nursed his
"boomlet" until It reached the ample
proportions of "a boom." Here many
an ex-judge, shorn of the traditional
ermine, sat on the softly upholstered
chairs or couches, and either eyed
with vain regret the present incum
bents or schemed with pertinacious in
dustry for a re-nomoniation. Here was
the home of "refined" politics; and
no lawyer of any note whatever in the
party but what "belonged," and found
in the society , of the members some
fluctuation or current in the political
tide, some hint for present or future
guidance.
Tou could tell an ex-judge from a
full-fledged one just as easily as you
can tell among a crowd of fishermen
who has caught a string and who has
had "fisherman's luck." An ex-judge
had a chastened look usually, not at
all despondent but a reminiscential
air of "old, , unhappy, far-off things,
and days of long ago." - The present
Incumbent was pometImes radiant,
ofteaer severe.
"Am wbo should' sey. I am Sir Oracle.
And whea I ope ray Ups let no doe bark."
At the various banquets with which
the political world amused Itself, the
lawyers were always on hand In large
numbers, and were depended on for
most of v the speech-making. In the
mayoralty elections and the ward
elections they were also active, and
the brant of the "silver-tongued" ora
tory -was Invariably borne by the
members of' the legal profession. I
remember at one chub banquet where
a certain very eloquent young lawyer
arose and began his flowery speech
with something like the following:
"Sprang from' a race whose blood
dates back to the dawn of the revolu
tion," and so on. He was followed by.

a Hebrew lawyer of wit and worth,
who did not particularly fancy the
first speaker. This gentleman struck
an attitude and launched his oration
in the following terms: "Sprung
from a race whose blood dates back
to the dawn of creation," and so on
and so forth. It was unanimously
voted that the second speaker was en
titled to the claim of "first blood."
In the city council you would al
ways find the lawyers to the front;
and on the committee requiring the
handling and disbursing of money
none was complete without a lawyer

and their opportunities for speaking,
developed them In the matter of pre
senting ideas shorn of surplus words,
and while they were not by any means

It is really amazing to look up and
ascertain what a remarkable influence
the lawyers have had in politics, and
to reflect that this influence is steadi
ly held up in present times. New law3
are being ground out regularly every
session by state legislatures, old laws
repealed, and laws rendered null by
lecisions of the supreme courts are
followed by fresh batches of legisla
tion. We have too many laws in this
country. Don't you think so? And we
don't enforce enough of the good ones!
And yet, and yet, my experience in
politics has convinced me that the
leaven of lawyers in the political strife
of the country makes generally for the
?ocd. I say this because I have known
hundreds of them, and as a class they
are honest, and collectively intelligent
As office-holders 1 have found them
capable, including myself. As legisla
tors I have not had much experience
with them. But the criticism that I
would pass upon them is not that they
hold so many of the offices, but that
they make too many laws.
One young lawyer of my acquain
tance whose ambition once ran to the
nomination for sheriff, wa3 shown that
tesourcefulness is not entirely ab
sorbed by the members of his guild.
He was an Irishman, living in a
county where the vote was a German
one as to majority. He figured over
the situation with an Irish friend of
his who had been brought up from
boyhood In the German settlements,
and who spoke German like a native.
At last he came to the conclusion that
it couldn't be done.
"They've got 112 votes to our 80, the
very best way you can figure It," he
announced to his faithful lieutenant
"Do I get the chief deputyship if
you win?" was the answer.
"Certainly," was my friend's reply.
"Leave it to me," was the mysteri
ous response.
On convention day the Irishman
who spoke German circulated among
the Germans who came from his part
of the county and who were trying
for a candidate of their own. The
other German contingent had a candi
date also, and the Americans and Irish
were secretly and solidly for my friend
McHugh. The Germanized Irishman
got his German friends to throw "a
complimentary vote" to McHugh "just
for the first ballot, d'ye see," to the
number of enough votes, when the
Irish and Americans came in solid, to
barely scrape McHugh In on the first
ballot, leaving the worthy Germans to
"hold the bag." By much "soothering"
afterwards a truce was effected, and
McHugh triumphantly elected. But
he didn't run for sheriff next time.

DRESS for Girl from 14 to 16 Tears of Age. Spotted voile Is used for this
dress; the ground is white, the spots, blue. The full. skirt is trimmed
with bands of blue silk, cut on the cross.
' The bodice has a small yoke of lace, to which the voile is gathered; the
epaulettes of lace are bound with silk, and are fixed on under braces of silk.
The sleeves are finished with cuffs to match the yoke.
Chip hat trimmed with blue ribbon. n
Tweed Costume. The -plaited skirt and a Norfolk jacket are ever favo
rite styles to be reproduced in tweed or serge, as they are so convenient for
everyday wear. The costume shown here is in gray tweed, the Norfolk jack
et lined with glace silk.
Hat of green straw, trimmed with ribbon, wings, and a fancy buckle.
KNICKERS IN THE TROUSSEAU.
Each Gown Will Be Worn Directly
Over Them Without a Petticoat.
A trousseau being made In Paris at
present reveals the very apotheosis of
luxurious frivolity. Such wonderful
sheets designed to turn down far over
the covers; and inset with wonderful
pieces of lace. At the corners these
are trimmed with wreaths of tiny satin
and chiffon flowers in colors, or in
gold or sliver gauze knotted with cords
and tassels. These corners are fast
ened by means of lingerie buttons to
the satin pouff, while similar wreaths
decorate the upper corners of the huge
lace-inserted pillows. Entire dinner
cloths are made of lace, with squares
of fine linen damask let in for each
service, the cloths thus designed being
fiy eight, twelve or twenty-four covers.
The cloth is laid over cloth of gold or
silver, the first when white and gold
porcelain is used, gold candelabras and
masses of fruit for decoration, while
the second is used with blue Sevres
porcelain, silver plate and centerpiece
of black iris and smilax.
One of the interesting features of
this trousseau were the dozens of satin
culottes or knickers, in black, white
and colors, each with its distinctive
trimming ,of lace frill or ribbon and
buckle at the knee, each with its de
tachable lining of fine white batiste or
white china silk. And not a petticoat,
not one! Each gown is meant to be
worn directly over these knickers.
From a Paris Letter to Vogue.
Care of the Forehead.
The forehead to be pretty should be
smooth, even, white, and delicate, and
unmarred by frowns, which speedily
leave their indelible marks on it. Care
should be taken in youth not to form
the bad habit of raising the eyebrows
when talking, as this leaves long
straight lines on the forehead which
mar its appearance and which give
the countenance an early appearance
of age.
The forehead should be kept smooth,
white, and free from wrinkles with a
good cold cream, or skin food and
massage. If the skin has become
tanned from the wind or sun, it can be
bleached with diluted lemon juice.
The only way that wrinkles can be
removed is by constant massage and
by being careful not to indulge in any
of the movements or motions which
cause the wrinkles to appear.
Some Silk Advice.
A silk buyer In a department store
has this advice to give in regard to the
making up of silk:
"Large pins or needles make perma
nent holes In silk fabrics and, if extra
large, break the threads; then the silk
tears easily. Put new needles in the
sewing machine before working on
new silks. With old needles, only
slightly blunted, the silk is certain to
pucker and draw.
"Be careful in plaiting or ruffling
that the iron used is not too hot. An
over-heated iron will crack any silk.
Always wear good shields, and avoid,
if possible, much trailing of silk
gowns, as the fabric frays quickly."
Color Schemes in Dress.
A- sleevelesB coat of palest gray
tussore is worn with a plain skirt over
a blouse of damask rose silk muslin,
and .the red straw hat to go with It
Is trimmed with a garland of gray
clematis and an upstanding aigrette
of black and white grasses. Secondly,
a pale melon green Shantung tint has
a blouse of ciel blue and a hat of
marine blue, a deeper shade, with a
wreath of vine leaves and two or
three long sprays of purple and blue
delphiniums, set like quills, slanting
backwards. A black Shantung gown,
piped and decorated as to buttons
with malachite green, owns a black
hat lined with malachite and trimmed
with white, green and rose scarlet
leafless daisies with black centers.

Return of the Polonaise.
Many of the tunic princess gowns
have more than a suggestion of the old
polonaise. One sees the effect not only
in handsome afternon costumes, but
also in evening gowns. The tunic,
whatever its shape, lends itself admir
ably to the embroideries, braidings
and border trimmings, all of which are
u B9 as4 now-
FOR GIRLS
FROCKS OF JAPANESE CREPE.
Excellent Material for House Gowns
Made Up Simply.
t
Many years ago the girls of the
country made Japanese cotton crepe
a popular dress fabric. It was intend
ed for kimonos, but its cheapness and
its wearing qualities served well for
frocks.
Then it went out of fashion for some
reason or other. Now It has returned.
It sells at a small price and is dyed
into all manner of charming colors and
tones.
In pale blue, in light green, in white
and in cream, it makes up Into charm
ing frocks when a girl Is wise enough
not to add quantities of lace and rib
bon. It does not stand elaboration very
well. It should be left to Itself. For
simple little house gowns, for shirt
waist suits, made up with plaits and
tucks and bias folds, it is quite charm
ing. The wide puritan collar of embroid
ery or lace gives a dainty touch to the
blouse and a girdle of silk or satin
finishes the costume up quite smartly.
SATIN DINNER GOWN.
Satin, though never before regarded
as a summery material, has in its
light, soft qualities firm hold upon
feminine favor and has been adopted
as an eminently practical material for
the hotel dinner and evening frock of
the dressy but substantial type. It
will stand the wear and tear and sea
air moisture better than the soft, filmy
materials, and one sees a great num
ber of these satin frocks. The above
model was carried out In straw color
satin in conjunction with lace bands
which nearly matched In color, on the
low-cut bodice. Other than said band3
and the lace frills ou sleeves there is
no foreign decoration; but there is
elaborate use of tucking in artistic
fashion on both skirt and bodice as
sketch indicates.
Bran Water for the Nerves.
Overworked and tired women who
have "nerves" that are unruly should
drink bran water between meals In
stead of eating white bread and butter
or anything that comes handy when
they feel faint The phosphates In the
bran will develop a steadiness of nerve
that is unequaled by any other method
of cure. To make the bran water add j
a coffee, cupful of wheat bran (the or
dinary bran that is fed to horses) to
three pints of wa'ter that has begun to
boil. Be sure the water is boiling be
fore the bran is put in, and continue to
boil it until the bran no longer floats
on top. Do not put a cover on It while
it bolls. Shaking tho saucepan helps
to settle It When the bran has set
tled cover It and boil slowly for ten
minutes. Strain it into a pitcher and
let it settle. This entire quantity
should be taken in one day. The bran
water does not taste particularly good,
but neither docs it taste bad, and in
this age of white flour it is what every
system needs. .

The daughter of the literary pair
evidently was a bit chagrined. She
could not remember that she had ever
seen her mamma sew. She is a truth
ful child and would not claim any ad
vantages she was not sure of, yet she
felt that mamma's honor was at stake.
"I don't know if mamma can sew,"
she replied, dubiously, "but she can

ALMOST A SHADOW.
Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts.
There's a wonderful difference be
tween a food which merely tastes good
and one which builds up strength and
good healthy flesh.
It makes no difference how much we
eat unless we can digest It It is
not really food to the system until
it is absorbed. A Torkstate woman
says:
"I had been a sufferer for ten years
with stomach and liver trouble, and
had got so bad that the least bit of
food such as I then knew, would give
me untold misery for hours after
eating.
"I lost flesh until I was almost a
shadow of my original self and my
friends were quite alarmed about me.
"First I dropped coffee and used
Postum, then began to use Grape-Nuts
although I had little faith it would do
me any good.
"But I continued to use the food and
have gained twenty pounds in weight
and feel like another person In every
way. I feel as if life had truly begun
anew for me.
"I can eat anything I like now in
moderation, suffer no ill effects, be on
my feet from morning until night.
Whereas a year ago they had to send
me away from home for rest while
others cleaned house for me, this
spring I nave been able to do it myself
all alone.
"My breakfast Is simply Grape-Nuts
with cream and a cup of Postum, with
sometimes an egg and a piece of toast
but generally only Grape-Nuts and
Postum. And I can work until noon
and not feel as tired as one hour's
work would have made me a year ago."
