urns m THE LAW ,T*' , Modern Practice Has Made More Dif ficult the Way of Justice. ETHICS OFTEN MERELY A 8LINB Civil Law Has Come to be Largely a Question of Dog Eat Dog?Many Ways of Queering the Verdict of a Jury?Impossible to Draw Contract i That Cannot be Broken. John B. Wallace in Dearborn Independent (Concluding Installment.) The mort laws uie more worn iur i lawyers and the more work the more | fees. The spirit of commercialism has ; Invaded the bar as it has invaded the I press, the pulpit and even penetrated our sports and games. It has caused the loss of those fine ideals, those , higher spiritual qualities that once caused mei to consider it a great hopor to be a judge, an editor or a minister. The scholar has given place to the charlatan, the statesman to the demagogue and the sportsman to the sure-thing man. Back.of Wall there is a sinister force, i a force that the American people arc ! just beginning to recognize and pub- 1 Hcly to name. This force was accurately described in, a recent address by Bishop Adna V. Leonard, of the Methodist church. "The Pilgrim Fathers came," he said, "with a government rounuea upon an open. Bible, an open church and an open school. Their alms were J Idealistic. "In the last 25 years, however, the entire complexion of ttie population influx has been changed. * The greatest population movement of all times was completed with the immigration of JO,000,000 people who came to this country in the quarter century just preceding the war. The million Hebrews led by Moses across the wilderness of Arabia have left their impress and their mark upon all the succeeding generations throughout the thousands o? years. The movement of 30 times os.many pccgSotin about half the time cannot fail to have some influence upon America and upon the wtiito. High Standards One*. "All these people have their racial characteristics, their beliefs and their creeds. They come from every nation ar\4 every race on earth and they bring with them all of their various ideas and ideals. But there is one outstanding idea back of this entire migration. The earlier immigrants came from religious motives while, this immigration for the past 25 years ( came from materialistic motives almost entirely. They have threatened, the government of this country by their doctrines of radicalism, atheism, Marxism, socialism and anarchism. Great groups came with a group psychology but no individual responsibility?' . Bishop l^eonard might have added wltb truth that one of these groups, the most materialistic of all, has erown to immense, almost nreno lder apt power and has seized control of some of the most important sources of our culture?the press, the stage and the motion pictures. Neither CM bench nor tfye bar has escaped its contamination and no little of the. present decadence of the bar can be traced directly to the influence of its materialistic treed. It was not always thus with our .bar. There was a time when the majority of our lawyers stood for high ideals, when they looked upon their profession as something more than a vehicle to obtain money and notoriety. Then a man who indulged in the common practices of today was called a "shyster" and looked upon with scorn. Now the situation is reversed and it is only the minority that dares to tell the truth, to call a spade a spade. 1 t^ke courage to brave the wrath of your compeers, and courage, the moral courage inspired by the aspiration to high idee is, is sadly lacking in the rank and iile of the bar today. Instead of little 'shysters" we now have big "shysters," a difference in degree but not in kind. Local bar associations formed to maintain the standard of ethics are now mainly "whitewashing" organizations which lack the nerve to probe into the sore and, taking refuge in technicalities, content themselves with adopting resolutions of a general nature that sound grandiosely inspiring but mean nothinj; and get them nowhere. A Man's Word Once Good. The difficulty Is that so many of the members have uneasy consciences themselves that they dare not attack lest the victim find ground for retaliation. Occasionally they disbar some attorney who happens to be very small fry indeed and whose offense is so flag rant that it cannot be camouflaged. Yet "in many instances these very attorney's disbarred for acts which show their utter unfitness to be offlot rs of j the court?as all lawyers are?are, I nftcr a year or two, reinstated, having , learned the lesson to be more careful about being "caught with the goods" ne^t time. The ethics of the majority of those who practice civil and commercial law [ are tjiin enough, so thin and clastic that they can be spread to cover near- : ly any case with money to be gained. The law to the majority of these civil practitioners is but a game in which justice plays but a minor part and in which the rules are so juggled and befogged that the average layman throws up the sponge in despair. Leaving out the vast horde of cheap lawyers who 1 make at precarious living by chasing ambulances, inciting damage suits and j fomenting family quarrels, leading j into the divorce and probate courts, [ the skirts of the big commercial law- i yers arc far from clear, considered from a strictly et'.ilcal standpoint. There was onoe a time in our history when a man's word was good if he was that kind of a man. Xow even his written and signed contract is worthless if he chooses to repudiate it. A prominent and successful lawyer recently, told the writer that there was never a contract drawn up that could not lie broken by a skillful attorney. It is the sole occupation of a certain class of lawyers practicing commercial I law to draw up contracts that are supposedly unbreakable while another j group spends its time devising methods to break them It is remindful of the ! contest between the makers of armor plate to invent a shield that cannot be penetrated and gunmakers to fabricate a weapon that will hurl a projectile through it. Those lawyers are men OI ti Ign SUlIlUIIlg III men JJIK4G.-Ii.iv.... Tliey would be highly insulted, at an insinuation that their methods are unethical. Yet what are they doing but aiding and abetting men to break that which should be held most sacred, their : word of honor. Civil law has come to be largely "dog eat dog." It is a matching of wits, of sharp practice against sharp practice. A code of simple honesty between man and man would leave our courts barren of cases and cause nlnetcnths of the lawyers to turn their talents to productive lines. It is a safe prediction that 75 per cent, of the disputes that congest the courts could be settled in a half-hour talk between the litigants if their lawyers would s?*o advise them. But how few attorneys do this. It would mean the loss of the fat fees that, in prolonged litigation, eat up the property of the disputants. It is not, however, in civil law that our present danger lies. Pools must pay for their folly and if neighbors will rush into court to settle their differences they must accept their portion of the blame. Lawyers who encourage such litigation are aiding in lowering the standards of civilization and humauity but their responsibility is light compared with that of the lawyers who practice criminal law. Laws in restraint of crime are enacted to protect those who do the productive and constructive work of the world from those who would prey upon them. A criminal is one who will not. play the game of life fairly. He is a person who lacks the moral stamina to endure himself the buffets of existence and who tries to lane an unfair advantage of those who do. Every criminal, whether of high or low degree, invariably has a tale of real or fancied injustice which he whines to excuse himself. The truth is that he is unable to stand the gall. He wants the good things of life without paying the price of physical and mental toil. Therefore, he takes what ho wants from others either hy guile and trickery%or by force. There are exceptional cases when it almost seems that the criminal is justified but "two wrongs never make a right" and no individual or association of individuals can remedy an injustice by committing UIIUUlt'K UIIU. Lawyers or Actors? In this ceaseless war of society against its outlaws it would surely seem that society would be entitled, to the protection of the legal profession, every member of which takes an oath to uphold the law and serve the ends of justice. How lightly this oath is regarded is seen in the previously quoted statement of Mr. Woolwine. Instead of aiding justice these crooked criminal lawyers, as Mr. Woolwine dubs them, do everything in their power to thwart it Taking example from the tactics of big business, the big criminal rings engage lawyers versed in every shady ti*ick of their profession. This ring generally revolves around one big lawyer, a man of considerable standing in his profession, who seldom appears in court in behalf of his clients but who plans the campaign that his lesser associates carry out. One or two members of the ring are trial lawyers of repute, men possessing little knowledge but of histrionic talent who endeavor to sway the emotions of the jury by theatrical appeals to its sym pathies and prejudices. The.se men are in reality not lawyers hut actors with all an actor's mannerisms and studied eccentricities. No one better understands than they how "to tear a passion to tatters." Then there are lesser attorneys who do the leg work, attend to bail matters, assist in locating and coaching witnesses. In addition, the ring, or rather its attorney, employs heelers recruited from the ranks of ex-police officers or detectives who have quit the force for good and sufficient reasons. If the lawyer does not maintain his own staff he is usually connected with some private detective agency which does this work for him. 1 The duty of these men is to shadow the prospective jurors and those selected, also to shadow witnesses for the prosecution. They made '.t a point to discover the affiliations, prejudices and weaknesses of these jurors and witnesses and then to play upon them for intimidation or bribery. In many cases they have caused witnesses to go upon the stand and repudiate the story they tohl the prosecutor, in other instances when this was impossible they paid witnesses to leave the jurisdiction of the court. Another duty is to provide alibi witness in desperate cases, men and women paid to go uj>on the stand and swear falsely that the defendant was in their company far from the scene of the crime when it was alleged to have been committed. It is disconcerting and often fatal to fhe case of the prosecutor to have a witness go on the stand and tell a story differing from that he had previously told when the state was collecting its evidence. lie may later bp I able to convict the witness of perjury' but often too late to affect the case on J trial. The disappearance of an im- 1 pOrtant witness will also cause the case j of the state to sag while alibi v. itj nesses, the truth of whose stories the ; I prosecution has not the time to investi- j gate, interpose a fatal handicap in the. : administration of justice. Coached and trained so well are i these professional witnesess that they j | often cause the stumbling and halting | stories of the witness for the state, | who are really telling the truth, to appear as clumsy fabrications. The adage J that "truth will prevail" Is correct but the difficulty is that by the time the real truth is discovered the trial is over and the defendant has been freed. I The handicans in a criminal trial are! I - - - *ail imposed upon the prosecution. It must prove the man on trial to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. No Juryman who is a normal human being desires to send a man to prison or mayhap the gallows or electric chair unless he is absolutely convinced of his guilt. These crooked lawyers take full advantage of this feeling. By placing a multitude of witnesses upon the stand, even when they know the jury will not believe them all, they hope to confuse the jurymen sufllclently so there may be that doubt that will incline them to free a possibly guilty man rather than to suffer the! self-reproach of having voted to convict a man who might be Innocent. The "ace in the hole" of these j sr#>ntrv hnwcvur in their .-iliilitv til. bribe a member of the jury. Through.' their secret force of ferrets they are able to discover the financial condition and the susceptibility to temptation. of the members of the panel. A mistake in approaching the wrong man would be fatal to their case and such mistakes rarely happen. They know their man thoroughly before any overtures are made. Iiut even though a mistake should be made the attorney has so covered his tracks that it is almost impossible to trace the offer back to him. Second, .third and often fourth parties are^used to cover up the transaction and when caught one of the tools is paid a large sum to be "the goat." If there are no witnesses?and usually good care is taken that there will be none?it is the case of one man's word against another and it is seldom that the briber fails to escape. The Newspaper Sob Story. With one fixed juror the case for the defense is as good as won. He can hang the jury until doomsday and there is no requital. Not only that, if he happens to be a clever man with a gift of persuasion, he can often bring some of the other jurors around to his side. While a. hung jury does not mean acquittal, by successively hanging a number of juries it is possible to discourage the prosecution, who, to save the taxpayers further expense, will dismiss the case. In this lies tiie secret of so niany jury disagreements where the general public has fully made up its mind as to the guilt of the accused. If the prosecution re-1 fuses tn dismiss the case entirelv it will often compromise upon a light sentence after several disagreements, of a jury. Another favorite and probably unconscious ally of these crooked lawyers is the press, especially that portion of it that plays up news from a sensational angle. These attorneys make it a point to curry the favor of newspaper men and wonv-n. Women writers, who write, the human-interest stuff, as it is called, and who arc nicknamed "sob sisters" by the profession, assist them greatly in creating public sentiment in favor of the accused. There is seldom a criminal so hardened but who has some human qualities and the "sob sisters" in discover ing these good traits harp upon them until the public is convinced that the defendant is a poor victim of circumstances who is being cruelly persecuted by society. Popular sympathy is always with the underdog and often a public'prosecutor through the dissemination of propaganda of this sort in the newspapers finds himself at the beginning of a trial confronted by a I *:* ?

I These columns of publicity are welcomed by criminal lawyers not only for the effect that it has .upon a trial but also for the personal advertising and exploitation they get out of it. They stage many small sensations which have no effect upon the issue of the case simply to furnish their newspaper friends with something to write about, knowing that tiny will reap the < benefit in notoriety and prestige as a I smart lawyer. Although usually liberal with cigars i and other small favors they seldom attempt to bribe reporters. It is not necessary. The reporter holds his job 1 through his ability to turn in good i copy. It is but natural he should have i an unconscious bias in favor of those 1 who furnish him with live stories. < There was a time when these law- ] yers were satisfied simply to defend 1 criminals after they were caught, but < now thy go further. They advise and i often actively aid them in conspiring < to break the law. Judges and the state's attorney in Chicago openly 1 charge that the great criminal rings of 1 that city are under the guidance of lawyers. Yet so powerful is the political influence of these Ifcrch-criminals and so great the timidity of their fellow members of the bar that they are seldom brought to book even before the bar associations which are organized for the purpose of maintaining a high standard of ethics in the profession. The bar can only he cleaned up by its own members. As long as its mem- ! uers are concern to allow ciooks to i besmirch its reputation they must expect to share the stigma. Those lawyers who have the courage occasionally to speak the truth about conditions fail to receive support from their associates. On the contrary, they are made to ! feel the weight of their displeasure? 1 socially and, when possible, politically, s They are called radicals and hotheads 1 and are ostracized by the profession, i Under present conditions there are 1 only two classes of lawyers who dare t to speak out. Those who have reached the highest eminence in the profession 1 without furnishing their closets with ] too many skeletons ancj those who < have failed, to get anywhere in the j law. The first are nearly all on the < bench and have lost active contract < with actual conditions and the second i have no influence, their complaints be ing laid to envy and spleen. 1 * A good example of the timidity of 1 the bar associations is evidenced in a 1 recent case.' A district attorney who i has ever been outspoken in his con- < tempt for crooked lawyers, was prose- < outing a murder case wherein a young i and beautiful woman was being tried ] for the alleged murder of her lover. 1 Attracted by the notoriety attached to i the case, a Jewish lawyer went to the i city with the announced inten Jon of taking charge of the defense. The district attorney looked (into the ante- j cedents of this attorney and when the latter applied for permission to practice in the local courts,the district attorney entered strenuous objection. He c harged that the lawyer in ques- j tion had the reputation in his home city of being a subArner of perjury and a jury fixer. In support of bis allegations he read telegrams and letters from attorneys, including one from the former state's attorney of the city in which the lawyer practiced. The presiding judge referred the mutter to a committee rrom tne local bar association. It was first announc- | ed that the committee would hold a public hearing: at which the district attorney was to submit his proofs that the applicant was unfit to practice. This public hearing was never held, i The committee asked the advice of the local bar association to which the attorney belonged, but it declined to make any recommendation. Finally, the committee decided to admit the visitor under the rule of comity, a courtesy between states. Although the attorney was admitted he had been unmasked and be threw M DISC \ " On AH Men's S I On All Men's Si If On All Men's Sti |p? On All Low Sho and Children' At J.

S T R ( up the case and left for home, breathing the usual threats of libel suits, which suits?needless to say?never materialized. The action of the district attorney was a distinct innovation and created consternation among attorneys whose own skirts were not clear and who feared the effect of such a precedent. That the failure of the bar is largely tlue to a lack of proper education and the influence of the materialistic spirit, r>f the age is the belief of Willjnm [libbs McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury. In an interview for The Dearborn Independent Mr. McAdoo, who is now practicing law, said. "When 1 studied law in college in the South the law was looked upon as in honored profession which gave ?reat opportunities for public service. We were taught that upon our shoulicrs was a great responsibility for the public welfare. Statesmanship was perhaps the most important part of !>ur course. The ideals of the profession were as important as the inculcation of the technique of the law. "Today with law schools turning out lawyers by the thousands much as a business college turns out bookkeepers ind stenographers there is small opportunity for the student to imbibe the Lraditions and ideals that are so necessary to prevent him from becoming a mere money maker and notoriety seeker. A return to the old system of education when the student course embraced a wide range of cultural subjects as well as a thorough course in political history and science would do n>uch to purge the bar of the 3pirit of materialism that is permeatng it." BELL IS BUR4ED Body of Great Inventor Rests in Mountain Tomb. All the villagers of Baddeck, Nova Scotia, trudged to the peak of Beinn Breagh mountain Friday evening and stood in reverence at sunset while the oody of Dr. Alexander Graham Bell was laid tenderly to rest after a life of 15 years, in which he gave to the world he telephone and other inventions. Over his tomb, blasted from rock :hai looked down on all of eastern Nova Scotia and the beautiful Bras 1'Or lakes, stood the watch tower built fears ago by the invenfor; below the lUiet woodland and the serene lakes, on whose waters Dr. Bell experimented with speed boats and fast water sleds. The lakes were still and all the craft that sailed upon their waters stood Motionless at the funeral hour. In the village every shop and store was closed and each home had sent its occupants to the mountain top. No one was left in the laboratories and work shops, where Dr. Bell and his helpers busied themselves in summer time. Every one had gone to give reBpeet at the burial of the venerable Bcientist from another land, whom all the natives loved. For one moment during the service all of the 13,000,000 telephones in the United States and Canada were silent. 13" In Turkey, Syria and Armenia the women wear garments of celestial blue is an emblem of mourning.
