jVANTAaES OP A LEGAL EDU CATION. rtgon Law School Journal, Salem, September, 1UU4.) In llfo's race to Utain tho goal of cccss proper training is a great ad- ntnge. Mow this preparation shall made is a soriouB question. Ono nsiders that ho must need bo born a nius beforo ho can safely enter cer- in professions. Another viows his antal bumps and depressions as in- Ulble marks of his success, as the nobs, bolts und other projections on iron safo indicate whether or not , vaults contain gold or aro empty. iile another imaginqs that ho is ntrolled by tho fates and, in order ascertain his futuro prospects of ccess, consults soothsayers, palmists, Jairvoyants and other mystagogues. Vfo consider that genius is a very 'are animal, perhaps extinct. That ch person "is tho architect of bis wn fortune" and that if ho properly repares himself his success in any rofcssion will depend upon tho amount I interest and plcasuro ho takes in it nd tho amount of work and cnorgy he roperly oxponds. That tho only gen- aa now known to exist consists of qual parts of attention, interest, per- leverenco, constant work and woll-di-ected energy. Millions of unemployed capital await nngcincnt by tho person who can ilow its possessors that ho is a man if practical judgment and integrity and capable of handling it to nn ad vantage Ho must bo careful and cau tious, not visionary nor fanciful; ho must reason logically, uso the experi ence of tho past and apply it unerring ly to affairs and conditions about him and plan enterprises and convince mqn of wealth that thoso enterprises are feasible. Stanford and Huntington were men of small fortunes when thoy projected a trans-continontal railroad across a vast tract of country then regarded by many as a barren waste. They were practical men and had examined all tho surroundings and tho force of their convictions caused men of wealth to engage in tho ontorprise. Soon an iron band bound tho continent, and the Great American Desort took wings of flight and in its stead caino n land of wealth and civilization. ' Anil vast fortunes and undying famo to them was the reward of their enterprise. Be practical, uso sound judgment, be guided by oxporienco and apply the conclusions accurately and unerringly and you have tho foundation stones of success. Good practical judgment de pends much upon tho person's sur roundings and education. Somo have been successful without systematic edu cation, yet thoro is littlo doubt that their success would havo been even greater bad th6y had its boncfits. Books aro as usoless toys unless the matters which thoy contain can bo put to some useful purpose That system of education is most beneficial which de pends upon roason rather than mem ory and roto, and upon judgmont in stead of- mystic words. This world is real and not n place of fancy, magic or mystery. Wo know of nothing that will dispel our illus ions so well as that of tho study of law. A knowledge of tho leading prin ciples of law is beneficial to all, no matter in what avocation wo engage. ims knowledge is obtainable in tc course of two or threo yoars in a good law school. Any person of ordinary undorstnnding, by devoting two or three hours daily to its study, is usual ly ablo to comploto a courso of law, and somo aro ablo to attend tho lec tures only and got a fair idea of many of its principles. If the student gets tho reason for a rule of law it is fixed on his memory without effort and thus he avoids over work. The idlo time which a young man has is usually quito sufficient to carry on tho study of law. Tho lawyer examines all sides of a question dellborntoly and practically and arrives at a logical conclusion. His mind readily grasps the details of the most complicated subject with which he had never before paid tho slightest attention. The business man who has spent may years in tho detail of his trade and finding himself embarrassed goes to a lawyer for counsel, although tho lawyer does not know tho differ ence between gingham and calico. Yet that lawyer is able to go over tho de tails of bis cllont's business and in many, instances correct the fault which his client has overlooked. The suc cessful business man of today pays lawyers good fees for advice that pre vents costly litigation, instead of fol lowing tho rule of tho last generation to hiro lawyers to get him out of trouble. Tho student of law discovers that all its principles are based upon rea son and oxpodiency which have been perfected by the wisdom and experi ence of ages. Mo learns that nothing I worthy of man that will not bear the closest scrutiny of reason, that a Uwyer must bo practical and that tho important tools of suoeass are logic, order, analysis, experience aud qulek perception. That any calling, trade w profession which baa to be shrouded I in mystery and magic, in order to suc ceed, is delusive anil dangerous to hu manity and contains dens of fools nnd knaves whom enlightened men some dny will hunt down nnd consign to in sane asylums and felons' cells. Tho study of law is tho best educa tional drill, no matter what profession or business n person intends to enter. If a teacher, it broadens his mind and boncfits his pupils. If n politician, it makes him a better one; tbo halls of Congress and tho greater part of the principal "offices of tho land aro filled by lawyers. If a financier, his sue coss is more assured as moro than nine-tenths of the financiers are law yers. If a divine, his perception of right nnd wrong is more extended and he socs tho full difference between tho lottcr and tho spirit of tho law. The trainod equity lawyer whets his fac ulty for perceiving right and wrong to tho keenest edge and looks to the spirit and intent of tho law rather than to the letter of, the law and dis covers wrongs and applies remedies basod upon the highest development of tho Golden Rule. Many lawyers who make great finan cial success of their profession seldom appear in tho courts in the trial of causes, but aro men of affairs who join legal training and business judg ment in tho management of vast enter prises which pay them millions of dol lars. And, as a matter of fact, but few men in this ago can bo successful in business without n comprehensivo knowlodgo of law. IS PROTECTION ROBBERY? Bismarck's Conversion to Protection. "Ono thing is clear, thnt, through tho widely open doors of its import) trade the German market has become tho mere storage-space for tho over-pro-Ruction of other countries. Wo must, therefore, shut our gates and take care that tho German market, which is now being monopolized by foreign wares, shall bo reserved for native industry. Countries which nre enclosed have be como great, and thoso which have re mained open havo fallen behind. Were tho perils of protectionism really so great as sometimes painted, Prance would long ago have been ruined, in stead of which she is more prosperous, aftor paying the five millards, than Ger many is today. And protectionist Rus sia, too look at her marvelous pros perity! The question beforo us is not a political, but a financial one, and wo should put all personal sensibility aside." Prince Bismarck, speech be foro tho Reichstag, March 2, 1870. Tho Cornerstone of the American Com monwealth. "I dofy tho man, in any degree con versant with tho history of this coun try from 1787 to 1781), when the Con stitution was adopted, to say that Pro tection of American lubor was not a leading motivo South as .well as North for tho formation of the new govern ment. Without thnt provision ( pro tective tariff) in the Constitution it would nevor have, been adopted." Daniel Webster. Parnell's View of Its Vital Importance. "This question of the protection of tho industries of Ireland is ono of vital importance for tho natiou. We have to consider the interest of tho artisans of tho towns and of the laborers in tho country, and, as I have already stated, it is my firm belief that it will bo im possible for us to keep this portion of the laboring classes at homo and in com fort without protection to Irish indus tries. It is a problem which requires the utmost exertion on our parts' to solve. The life of Ireland is-dependent upon tho preservation of our bone und sinew. Our population has diminished at tho rate of a million a decade during tho pnst forty years; it is timo that it should bo put a stop to, and that it should be nossible for the lnborers, the artisans' and mechanics of Ireland to I livo, thrive and prosper at home." Cbus. Stewart Pnrnell, as reporter in tho Dublin's Freeman's Journal, of Au gust 22, 1885. Thomas Jefferson for Home Labor. "Tho history of tho last twenty yours has been n significant lenson for us ull to depend for necessaries on ourselves alone, nnd I hopo twenty yoars moro will place tho American homisphoro un der a system. of its own, essentially peaceable aud industrious and not need ing to extract its comforts out of the eternal fires raging in the old world." Thomas Jefferson, to the Sooiety for tho Encouragement of Domestic Manu factures, in 1817. lu answer to the proposition con tained in the Democratic national plat form, that the Republican polioy of protection to Amerioan industries is robbery of the many or the benefit of tbo tew, we havo compiled a few opin ions of the world's greatest states men and thinkers: "The protection of American labor aeainst the iniurious competition of foreign labor, so far at least as re spects general handicraft produetioas, is known historically to bave been one endw designed to be obtained by es tablishing the Constitution.' "-.Damn Webster. DAILY OAPITAIi JOPBNAI'SAIJag,- OEEQON, THTO8DAY, SEPTEMBEB 15, New York Republicans. Saratoga, X. Y., Sept. 15. For tho first time in many years tho Republi cans of New York met in state con vention todny with conditions ap proaching nn open race for the guber natorial nomination. Despite tho out wnrd appearance of harmony between Odell and Piatt, the convention meets without tho nominations being fully agreed upon in caucus. If a slato has been tentatively fixed up, it is one that may bo broken on the convention floor. Governor Odell continues to declare that ho has no candidato for tho head of tho ticket, though his partiality for Lieutenant Governor Higgins as the gubernatorial nominee Is so generally rccoenized that it will probably result in tho lattcr's nomina tion. Timothy Woodruff continues in tho running, nnd tho names of fomer Governor Black, Mayor Knight, of Buffalo, nnd sovcral others aro ready to bo sprung in the event of the Odell plans slipping a cog. The convention was called to order at noon nnd the opening hours were taken up with tho roll call, committee appointments nnd other perfunctory business. Tonight tho delegates and politicians will hold u celebration of tho Republican party soml-centcnninl nnd the work of tho convention will be concluded tomor row, v Bmm tk 1 Ite Kind You Hare Always Bought Looking ForWorK? 7 Enroll in the I.
