Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from After-Dinner Proceedings of the Bar Association of San Francisco at the Hotel St. Francis: San Francisco, California, Thursday Evening, March 24, 1910 The President: Ordinarily the President of this Association is supposed to make an address at the beginning of the literary exercises of the evening. There will be a pleasurable disappointment in that respect for you this evening - there will be no set address by the President. We have too much of interest before us. There are one or two things, however, in connection with a subject in which we are all interested, that I think it worth while to say to you at this time. In an address that I indiscreetly delivered before the Commonwealth Club of the city of San Jose the other evening I referred to a distinguished professor of a distinguished university in their midst as having given an epigrammatic solution of all the troubles to which the lack of administration of the law are due, and that was to "hang a few lawyers". The statement was made by Professor Bert Estes Howard in a lecture delivered before a woman´s club in San Francisco. Mr. Cahill, who edits a very interesting page of the "Sunday Call", unfortunately ascribed that remark to Professor Boke of the University of California. I stated, in criticizing this epigrammatic suggestion of a method of release from all our troubles that the distinguished professor was talking to an assemblage of ladies who might possibly feel that he was either inspired, or had so deep an insight into the sociological situation that the execution of his sentence of extinction might justifiably take place immediately, and made some other irreverent remarks with reference to the distinguished philosophic utterances of the learned professor, stating that the members of my profession looked upon a philosopher as one who could bear with resignation the troubles of other people. And to see the name of my good friend, Professor Boke, mentioned in the article as it appeared in the "San Francisco Call", as being responsible for the epigram was a surprise to both Professor Boke and myself. The economists from the outside can criticize the law and not be amenable to any severe castigation at the hands of the lawyer, but when one of my own profession is charged with suggesting so fatal a remedy as "hanging the lawyer" it is time that somebody stood up in defense of the profession.
