whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real
loser ? in fees, expenses, and waste of time. As a peacemaker the lawyer
has a superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be
business enough." | |

circumvent the law is doing all that in him lies to encourage the growth
in the country of a spirit of dumb anger against all laws and of disbelief
in their efficacy." | |
