Wilson at envoaubn yoBtorday ornlngis;dellTered a very Interesting address on "Somo Popular Misconcop- Uons of the Law." Professor Wilson Introduced the subject with a vory ploaslng story. He spoke In part as follows: . "Almost every one has an uncon scious partiality for the work ho is on gaged:i&. lMs'-very natural for us to follow certain, lines of thought pat ternedLaftor our own work and this same principle 1b seen, in the Jawyorts profession, "I am tiore to speak of some mlscon ceptionp of the law.,Somo people soom 6 believo thatihey should keep away from the law and thoy ondoavor to iako no Interest in it.- -As a matter f fact theF have lived their whold Uvos under this Bomo law they shrink from and At is most intimately con nected with their lives. Tho groat majority of men may live add die and in all that time never come into direct contact with tho law. Yet should thoro bo a disturbance In tho move montof tho law ovory one would suf for from 1L It Is not vory far back whon mankind did not havo tho right of.

"Althqugh wo may havo avoided tho court and tho dlspleasuro of the law, yet all business rests upon tho law. Imagine in Lincoln our sixty thousand people without law. No. prop erty or person would bo safe. Instead of the law being primarily that, which makes controversy in tho courts pos sible, It is the rare exception that it becomes a storm center. All agree ments, and contracts essential to the ' progress of business are controlled .by law,, and not one in a thousand over enters the court.
