Report Caamtlan Hears Address
n."orlallara" by rliaarellor
B, Beajamla Andrews.
The second and last day of the third
nun! meeting of the Nebraska State Bar
association wss aa exceedingly bviy one.
In the morning papers wore rpad by Com
missioner C. 8. Loblngler of Omaha, Prof.
Charles A. Robbina of the Nebraska State
university and W. It Kelligar of Auburn,
and there was carried a motion to reconsider
the association's action of ths day before
committing It as favorable to a constitu
tional convention as tho best means of
remedying supreme court defects.
In the afternoon this latter matter was
taken up and disposed of by the adoption
Of the J. II. Mcintosh resolutions, leaving
to the legislature the regulation of numer
ical strength and salaries of the 'court.
There wu alopted also the report of the
committee on Judicial administration as
printed In The Bee tome days ago; a sup
plemental report from the committee on
legislation affecting ' the profession, such
report being for the negotiable Initrumenta
act as recommended by the American Bar
association arid already on the statutes
of eighteen states;' a' testimonial to Judge
O. M. Lambertson, who died last June, the
paper being drawn by Judge Wakelcy and
read by him. Bills endorsed were one sug
gested by Judge Roscoe Pound, looking to
the abolishment of the "assignment of
error" technicality Involved In appealing
cases, and another requiring that In making
such appeal the supersedeas bond In all
casna going up shall be the same as In
error proceedings; Instead of the "waste"
bond permitted In simple appeal.
Election of Officers.
After a paper by Halleck F. Rose of Lin
coln and before the address of Chancellor
Andrews, the association elected officers by

man K. H. Hlnshaw of Falrbury as member
of the executive council.

Throughout the meeting more attention
has been given to remedying the Insuffi
ciency, numerically, of the state supreme
court than to any other one topic. Kelligar
of Auburn, was ready yesterday morning to
defend the Mcintosh resolutions of the day
before, which had been voted down because
at first thought to be unconstitutional.
Adopt Mcintosh Itesolatloas.
They had been given attention during the
Bight by many, attorneys, however, and
yesterday were promptly, taken, up, on Kel
llgar's motion, and finally adopted.'' They
are the meat of Senator Hall's bill, and
the association plans to first get the legis
lature's approval and then let the associa
tion's executive council go before the vari
ous political conventions with the proposal
that on the ballot of each party be placed
the proposition Itself, . which Is that th
legislature be permitted to regulate the
- aire of the court and the salaries, tho alxe
to depend upon the amount of work before
the court. It Is the oDlnlon that the
propoettlon, thus made a part of the tlcketl
proper, will be carried safely, avoiding the
tall end process which has always been
the Waterloo of attempts at constitutional
amendment.
The adopted report of the committee on
Judicial administration, submitted by Judge
O. B. Lett on of Falrbury as chairman, con
tained four principal recommendations,
ach of which was discussed and then
separately approved. The first wss that In
thinly populated counties the county attor
neys be. given only the civil cases and
their salaries cut. the amount each county
thus saves to apply on a general fund with
Which one able criminal lawyer will be
engaged to serve several counties aa dis
trict attorney for a district to be made up
on a basis of population.
lleform School and Dlvoreo Law.
Another recommendation Is that there bo
corrected anomalies In the reform school
statutes, such, for instance, as that which
specifies that a boy cannot be sent there
after he Is It yeara old, yet that he may be
detained there until he Is 18. The age for
entrance, the association considers, should
be 18.
A third recommendation Is to change the
divorce law in respect to procedure to
make It conform with a law now bring pro
moted In many other states. Particularly
Is It desired that the term of resldeui e be
lengthened from six months to two yeara
and that personal service be required In
stead of service by publication.
The report Vh1ch Treasurer Gosa sub
mitted shows receipts (exclusive of collec
tions yesterday, which will be eaten up by
convention expenses) of $306.85, with $229.40
of this In the treasury as a credit balance.
The membership Is 270. not Including the
names of the twenty-three applicants voted
on yesterday.
Andrews on Socialism.
Chancellor Andrews' address ou "Social
Ism"' was In part as follows:
If I have any special qualifies Hon for
di'UHliif socialism It Is that of sympa
thetic opposition. I was once as near
being a disciple of Ko1bertna as 1 could
co tui) without baptism Into the church. I
thought I s-iw In KoObt-rtlan socialism,
socialism scientifically wrought out and
applied, a remedy for the moat glaring
or I ul evils
In time and upon study, however, the
syiatem which had seemed to me so de
sirable grew to look quite otherwise, the
uttTlcullli'S connected with it assuming
VHHtir and vaster proportions, until in my
. thomthl ihcy towered above and out
, numbered those necessarily hound up with
,' the present order. 1 was thus converted
.' to the opinion that society has greater
b"P of reform on the general basis of In
dividualism than by dying to the unknown
though Inevitable HI accompanying a so
cialistic regime. ........
If tht vietlon were merely whether or
net It 1 desl-able for government to, possess
and administer certain indispensable public
utllltlta it would not be worth discussion.
. The thoughtful people are few, however
opi'0J to socialism, who do not believe
t that government will in time take over a
' great many oi the productive agenclea now
In private hands, tlovernment might go a
' Jong way In this without even an approach
' to socialism. Socialism would not be
reached until all material Instrunientall
' ties for the procliicticn of wealth bait passed
v into the str.te a hamta. or at least so many
' of them that Individual Initiative in Its
present and historic form had ceased to
', (unction. . .
There Is a sadly convincing Induction,
- familiar to student of social history, that
whenever material betler-ent cornea to
' the Ignorant poor, aa through a rise of
wages cr the cheapening of bread, it la
speedily checked by Increase in population.
Ike v'i'"-' consideration, that forbade
me to find In socialism a panacea was the
Innlght that, granting to eneiallom s a
purely economic report all that Is claimed
lor it. whlh was further than I could go;
supposing socialism to bring to puss
economically sll that Kndbertns Mcirx or
any apostle ever claimed, the community
would soon be sasln sufTerine: from Its oltl-
fashloned Ills throngs the irrational multi
plication of the piracies.
Frankly, snctailpm as popularly advocated
would be likely to promote reform In a few
not unimportant particulars. It would per
haps t points act more hspplly thsn any
less arsstic ensnge.
In my iuilsment. lag socialism would
beget four appalling evil, any one of which
would be a fate heading out more hydra
like with woes thsn the existing system
iseir.
1. It would Inevitably degenerate Into
communlem.
2. It would file off and at length entirety
annul the Invaluable spur of Individual
initiative.
I. It would snnlhllste the power of this
nation to compete industrially or otherwise
I .. 1 .
4. It would subject society to a species of
mciD rule at nnme.
I for one believe It democratic for the
people's work to be well and economically
done, which never occurs under multiple
headship such as popular socialism must
Involve.
C. S. Loblnsjler's Paper.
Commissioner C. S. Loblngler of Omaha
read a paper on "The Popular Ratification
of Constitution: Its Origin, Growth and
Legal Necessity." In part he said:
"We reach the conclusion thst constitu
tion making without popular ratification Is
not alone only Inconsistent with our basic
political theory the sovereignty of the
people. It Is also a deliberate abandon
ment of one of our most beneficial Institu
tions, a valuable part of our ancient Teu
tonic heritage and the outcome of political
effort and experiment for ages. The states
which have discarded submission are at
tempting to turn back the dial of history
and to sacrifice the results of twenty cen
turlea of clvlo evolution."
On Rural Highways.
W. R. Kelligar of Auburn read a paper
on "Rural Highways," in which be said:
The fundamental errors In the present
law of highways are In not providing for a
prneral plan or schema -f cons tructicn of
Kood roads and in taking from the people
themselves Immediate power over the sub
ject. The problem of good roads In Nebraska,
while one of magnitude, is also one of easy
rolutiun. A simple statement of our road
mileage Instantly forces one to the con
clusion that the only practical highway of
the Immediate tutLre is the nlit .0.1 nn.i
that every energy of he state should be
tomod to the accomplishment of this pur
pose. To bring about this reform all that
pel lion of '!.) present nlfrhv ay me whic-h
deals directly with the road and Its re
pairs Dhotlld be eleminiteri and h rnmnlpte
end comprehensive system formulated and
enacted to replace It. TIiIh proposed law
ehonld provide that each township or pre-
clnct the size of a township should be
organised Into one road district and the In
habitants of this road district emoowered
a: an annual meeting, which should be
provided for In the law, to determine the
amount of money to be devoted to the
roads for the'eurrent year within the road
district. They should have the power to
make the levy for this purpose by a ma
jority vote, but. within certain limits, they
should be required to make the levy and in
default thereof the county commissioners
should make it for them. This system of
annual levies should be required for a
period of years say five until the roads
of the state have been constructed, and then
smaller levies snouia De provided for the
purpose or Keeping in repair the roads so
constructed.
Aa to Road Funds.
This money, when collected by the county
treasurer, should be paid over to and ex
pended by the road district under the di
rection of the proper officer of the district.
Each township at stated periods should
elect one road overseer who should have
entire charge of the roads, and whose
compensation should be such aa to make
the office attractive; he should give bond
and have the power to contract on behalf
of the road district in all matters con
nected with the roads, and should settle
his accounts annually with the county
commissioners and county treasurer.
1 lie new plan snouid provide not only the
machinery of law, but specify the very kind
of road to be called a good road, and par
ticularly provide for drainage. This law
should be so framed that the burden of
constructing and maintaining all bridges
within the townahlp or road district, either
under thirty feet In widtn or under the
coet of $100, should be upon the road district
and all other bridges should be constructed
and maintained at the expense of the
county. All damages happening from the
negligent construction of roads or bridges
by the road district should be recoverable
from the road district and not from the
county at large.
Section M, chapter xvlli, of the complied
statutes, . Insofar as it provides for the
election of county commissioners by dis
tricts, should be repealed and commission
ers elected by the electors of the entire
county. This section was enacted In 1H31
as a shield for the inhabitants of the out
lying districts of Lancaster and Douglas
counties against the greed for office of the
politicians of Uncoln and Omaha, and
while the purpose of the act may have
been good, the law Itself Is utterly Inde
fensible on principal and the excuse for its
passage entirely Inadequate to Justify the
saddling of this bad law on the remainder
of the state.
Lawyers Too Plentiful.
In discussing "Preparation for the Bar,"
Prof. Charles A. Robbtns of the University
of Nebraska gave the profession a rather
severe Jolting, declaring that it is now
easier to become a lawyer than any other
kind of professional man and that the law
yer has ceased to be as a rule the most
learned man of his community. At pres
ent, he said, the education of a doctor, an
engineer or a horse doctor is more severe
than that of a lawyer, so far as fixed re
quirements are concerned, and in ten years
the numerical strength of the profession
has increased 224 per cent, whereas the
medical Increase is but 84 per cent, and the
theological 24 per cent, It Is Prof. Robblns'
view that a man to be a lawyer should have
a college education and must have a High
school education, and that while one year
In law school Is better than two years'
study In an office, the law school course ot
this state should be lengthened from two
years to ttree years.

The figures ot each state represent the
total number ot deaths from catarrhal dis

This Is an appalling state of affairs.
This nation has got to confront the fact
that catarrb has become a national

In this direction. Peruna Is an internal.

are so prompt and permanent that It Is
attracting world wide attention.

Letters testifying to the fact that Pe

The following letters, taken at random

each state In the union:
OHIO Congressman Irvine Dungan of
Jackson, O., says: "I desire to join with
my many friends In recommending your
invaluable remedy, Peruna, to anyone in
need ot an invigorating tonic and whose
system ia run down by catarrhal troubles."
Irvine Dungan.
NEW YORK Congressman D. F. Wllber
of Oneonta N. Y., writes:
Gentlemen Persuaded by a friend, I have

has to plead the cause of the rich against
the poor, the criminal against the state
and the strong against the weak, as well
as the reverse. The practice of the law
affects the welfare of humanity, but it is
of the lawyer as a citizen I would speak.
The welfare ot the state imposes upon sll
duties commensurate with their position
and therefore the lawyer feels them more
than those ot most other callings.
"The lives of the members ot the legal
profession Involve something more than the
duties ot the general public to the state.
They are sworn to maintain In all walks of
life the absolute justice of the state.
Whatever of knowledge or culture the law
yer may have, the necessities of his career
compel him to use, and and failure to use
these brings him to professional bank
ruptcy. In the labors of the lawyer his en
gagements exact of him his best judgment
and he finds ample field for the exercise ot
his powers."
W. A. Reddlck at the close of this paper
moved that the address be printed and dis
tributed to the members of the bar of the
state and that the thanks ot the associa
tion be extended Mr. Greene. The motion
was unanimously carried.

Arthur C. 'Wakeley was introduced to re

"The other day I attempted to collect a

that I could not get blood from a turnip.
I told him that , here in Nebraska wa not
only did that, but we also got sugar from
s beet snd that we did not much care
whether it was alive or In a moribund con
dition." "The Statute in Such Cases Make and
Provide" was the toast responded to by
Charles G. Ryan of Grand Island. "The
laws are generally as wise as their day
and generation," he said. "Ia the begin
ning it was common to blame others for
adversities and then we were taught to
blame ourselves. When we have absolute
knowledge we will blame no one."
