Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates Jan 1914

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates

Articles

That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …

PRESIDENT BUTLER of Columbia University is reported to have said in an address before the New York Chamber of Commerce in 1911, that "the limited liability corporation is the greatest single discovery of modem times, whether you judge it by its social, by its ethical, by its industrial, or, in the long run--after we understand it and know how to use it,--by its political, effects." 1

Martinez Dec 4. 1913.

I'm delighted to learn that your days of exile are drawing to a close Your grand Dante done according to your own heart. I rejoice with you and make haste to assure you there can be no trouble about the publication of the book for I'll gladly bear all the expense.
You know how I sympathize with you in the loss of beloved Browne. Your tribute to his memory must surely have been lost and yet it seemed strange that in his son's letters to me you who knew him best and loved him him most …

Grabbing The Hetch Hetchy., John Muir

John Muir: A Reading Bibliography by Kimes (Muir articles 1866-1986)

GRABBING THE HETCH HETCHY. With very few exceptions, the newspapers of the country are protesting against the proposed gift of the Hetch Hetchy valley to the city of San Francisco for a water supply. "Of course the San Francisco newspapers champion the project, and so do a few others. But the- overwhelming sentiment, taking the country through, Is manifestly in opposition. ..This valley is now a national park, reserved for that purpose on account of its marvellous scenic beauty. It is the property of the nation, not of the. city Of San Francisco, nor the stale of California. The engineers …

BROWNE TEE BELOVED* Francis Fisher Browne, or Browne the Beloved as I like to call him, was one of the finest and rarest men I ever knew. Daring the last five or six years of his life, when I came to know him intimately, my love and admiration have been constantly growing as the noble strength and beauty of his character came more and more clearly to view. I have never ceased to wonder how he was able to do so vast an amount of downright hard work of lasting influence on our literature and at the same time lend …

OUT OF THE WILDERNESS OUT OF THE WILDERNESS BY JOHN MUIR I learned arithmetic in Scotland without understanding any of it, although I had the rules by heart. But when I was about fifteen or sixteen years of age I began to grow hungry for real knowledge, and persuaded father, who was willing enough to have me study provided my farm work was kept up, to buy me a higher arithmetic. Beginning at the beginning, in one summer I easily finished it, without assistance, in the short intervals between the end of dinner and the afternoon start for the harvest …

LESSONS OF THE WILDERNESS' BY JOHN MUIR Excepting Sundays we boys had only two days of the year to ourselves, the 4th of July and the 1st of January. Sundays were less than half our own, on account of Bible lessons, Sunday-school lessons, and church services; all the others were labor-days, rain or shine, cold or warm. No wonder then that our two holidays were precious, and that it was not easy to decide what to do with them. They were usually spent on the highest rocky hill in the neighborhood, called the Observatory; in visiting our boy friends on …
