WOODBURN WOMAN IS
SUCCESSFUL AS LAWYER
Miss Frances Kemp ProYes Sex Need Not Halt at Thought of Legal
Profession.
Wbonnnt.V. Or.. Dec. 1. (Spe
cial ) Miss Frances Kemp, a
resident of Woodburn, la one of
the iew women In ttie country who has
ukm up the study and practice of law
as a profession. She was admitted to
practice In the Supreme Court of Ore
gon on -tober 11. 1910. and her
marked success, thus far, has demon
strated what a woman can do and ac
complish, even In a profession gener
ally conceded to belong to tho Tther
sex.
Afier several years of hard study
she was admitted to the bar and tried
her nrst case In the Woodburn Justice
Court, which she won. She has as
sisted In trying cases In the Circuit
Courts at Salem. Oregon1 City and Port
land and has shown herself to be
clever and quick-witted. tjhe recently
argued a case In the Circuit Court at
Salem, before Judge Galloway, and
handled the points at Issue so ably
that numerous favorable comments
were heard from prominent members
of her profession- She la at present.
Interested In two cases In the Supreme
Court, which she expects to argue In
th near future.
The story of how she came to enter
the profession, the difficulties encoun
tered and the advantagea the profes
sion gives her. are best told In her own
words and may be of assistance to any
of her sex who contemplate following
her example. Miss Kemp granted th
following Interview yesterday:
-How did I com to atudy law? Well,
I think I grew Into It. A fondness
for law la a family characteristic 1
have, at least, one cousin practicing
now and several uncles who have been
admitted to the bar. Then when my
father was Justice of the Peace In
Woodburn. I used to stay In his office
and assist him considerably, and found
tse work very Interesting. Later I
studied shorthand and In May. li. I
entered ths office of K. P. Morcum. at
Woodburn. expecting ot act as his aman.
uensis. I always like to understand
the work I do and so I derided to read
law. In order to more fully nt myself
f.ir my work. From that It was an
easy step to assist In searching for au
thorities, and I enjoyed that work so
much that 1 soon derided to prepare
myself for the bar. I did not antici
pate an active practice, but I find that
practice arpeals to me. I have com
pleted a course In brief-making and
Intend to make that a specialty. Let
me have a quiet library, with th latest
text-booka and decisions, and I am
harrv. especially so when I And au
tuor'ties that support my cases.
"Diniculties and strugcUs? Every
one with wfcom I have come In contact,
professlorallr. seems to take m
se'iouslv ar..l .s having- as much right
i) ,10 my rn"n woik as ary man has.
1 am not di r-endlng entirely upon my
practice fr my living, as I am still
doirg i-r.anuer.sls wrrk In th office,
so 1 have had no financial struggle,
aa msnv lawyers hav when they
bealn to practice. I consider that I
hsv been fortunate, as I hav been
ASsncU-.rd with some prominent law-
r In my first cases and haven't had
to slay in th Justice Courts for prac
tice. Th advantages law bss as a pro
fession for a woman? I have never
stopped to consider that question, but
I would thick It has advantages only to
those women who hav an ability or
talent in that direction. As I regard
It. th legal profession Is neither man's
work cor woman's work, but a work

for th."se who love It. whatever their
sex may be. Personally, I fell that the
legal profession has advantages over
driving a cab or being on th police
force, and women do those things, but
I woul.l cot advise a woman to enter
the profession unless she would rather
do that than anything else, because
he loves the work. For myself, I can
make my own dresses and trim my own
hats (hav don It lota of times) and
cook my own meals. 1 have also don
some court reporting, and enjoy It. but.
for me. there Is no other profession or
occupation but my own! the law.
"And how am I succeeding? Success
may mean so many different things
that I hardly know how to answer the
question. 1 have not. aa yet. mad
an Independent fortune and may never;
for all that, neither have I won any
Important case. Involving thousands ot
doilara nor a cas that has been fierce
ly contested, nor have I defended any
criminals. My successes have been
the smaller ones, of fsellng that I know
my case thoroughly, of finding that the
opposing counsel has used cas that
asist me and of having the Judge lis
ten, as though he were Interested, when
I mak an argument. Howvr, I was
born in a log house and. that is always
a good start on the high road to success."
