Okla.-A law school which holds classes at night, so clerks, stenographer and others who must earn a llvlthood during the day may satisfy an ambition to become lawyers. Is run as a hobby by W. U Merwlne, Okmulgee attorney. Merwlne, too, must work In the day. as he Is dependent on his professional .nractlce. The law school, he says, Is his contribution to his city. Merwlne Is dean of the school and the students are Us officers. Several members of the Okmulgee bar help the enterprise by teaching subjects with which they are most familiar. The classes meet In the basement of the city library. Twenty-six graduates have taken the slate bar examination and only one of them has failed. Mls Jewell Itussell of Tulsa, who last spring re celved the highest grades In the Okla homa bar tests, began the study of law under Dean Merwlne. The Okmulgee school does not seek students.

Sawyer Is an Individualist, what ever that term may mean, or nt least that Is what he thinks ho is. He Is very young, a ts usually the case with Individ ualists, for as one grows older, ha see Hint one cannot mark out his path without reference to the right 'and pref erences of oth ers. It Is wisest to yield to what Is safest and best for the majority, otherwise social chaos would result Sawyer long to bo free, to express his own personality without trammel of law or regulation, lie wants all tho comfort and privilege and pro tection which civilisation afford without being culled upon to respect the hi and the convention which hnvo made possible these condition which be like so much. lie Is quite opposed to our prenent prohibition luwi, a many older men are, and takes occasion to violate them whenever opportunity offers. "Shouldn't one respect a law," I ask hint "even If Individually on may not think It wise or necessary)" "I don't think so he replies, "I am the Judge of my own conduct." "And If yon granted that privilege to everyone else, n every generous nmn would, what would he the effect upon society?" I ask him. lie hnd not thought that out. He has little regard for the ten coin ninndiiiciit. but he ha not yet, dur ing his eighteen years, devised a bet ter substitute for human beings gen erally to follow, tn fuct he Is not thinking of other human beings at all but only of himself. He belongs to an orgaidintlon whose success and progress h'cnd upon unity und co operation. When he Joined, ns Is common In such en', he look an ontli tn follow the principles laid down In (he ritual, to reiecl the authority of those In con trol, to obey the regulations which ex perience bus shown arc for the het Interest of nil ennceriicil, and yet he wants to l a law unto himself. "Nobody going to tell me," be serts, 'when I am to come In or when I limy go nut. I am not hound to do whut anyone else says. If I want to take a drink, that's my lookout'.
