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

from the law and thoy ondoavor to
iako no Interest in it.- -As a matter

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

whon mankind did not havo tho right
of. "law' for tho protection of his prop
erty, but ho had to protQct. himself by
his own. strong right arm atfd. physi
cal strength.
Rests Upon the Law.
"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.
