How much better or wj>rse, how much more honorable or dis honorable, is it to advocate a wrong ~- :?)ftuae for a 'fee' than it Ih to decide a cause the wrong way for a 'Con* . alteration?* " The Rocord, not so bluntly, mad?| observations last week upon tho eamo point. Lawyers are bringing their profession into die .J r*Pate by 'aharp practice. ^ Court) houies are beooming temples of In ; Jnstice. The most deeply dyed vll Han can obtain the zealous services of able lawyers to help him oheat but have the price, i And all this is ^jfouRpd tipon the specious pie* thai a lawyer Is In honor bound to do everything too ; his power for his client. If a pri vate Citizen helps a criminal cheat the law and eecape punishment, he "compounds a felony" and is pun Isliable, but if an attorney does the : Yefy bmuq thing, he Is "a groat ? lawyer" and has "done his duly" to tho client who bought his bral^ and conscience. Is it any wonder that lynch law should have advo cates when such conditions flourish? - Oan the bar associations do a nobler work than to purify t tio legal pro fession? It will take high moral courage to do t h ia work and do it fcarlossly and thoroughly, but U t-hould be done. ^ Defeiine or tho 'Verdict.
