In like manner, there is no pro
fession tliat lias done so much and
can do os much to promote justice,
establish equity under good laws,
good rules of conduct and to render
the public safe and happy as the
profession of law. Yet, it is a pro
fession of such power and such ad
vantage that He in whom all law
and light and life centers exclaimed
against the lawyers, saying: "Woe
unto you, also, ye lawyers! for ye
lade men with burdens grievous to
be borne and yo yourselves touch
not the burdens with one of your
fingers." "Woe unto you, lawyers,
for you have taken away the key of
knowledge; and ye entered not in
yourselves; an.d they that were en
tering in, ye hindered." This is a
simple, clear, concise statement of
the conduct of such lawyers as de
lay trials, pile ip public expense,
encourage crime and deceive juries
and judges. And we find one of
the characters of Shakespeare say
ing: ''First, let us kill all the law
yers." These radical measures are
not called for, but. radical changes
in the profession,' in the hearts,
minds and souls of many lawyers
are demanded. Ami, too, such
changes are taking place in obedi
ence to the law of public opinion.
In his recent charge to the Grand
Jury, Judge Parsons of Hilo says
that "the present system of eourt-
proceedure coddles -
hamper- ' "J
f,, inquiry into essential
J.iots." .Men 01 understanding Fee
this, and honest men condemn it.
The State of Ohio has adopted
the following oath which every at
torney of that State must subscribe
to: "I do (solemnly swear: I will
support the Constitution of the
State of Ohio. I will maintain the
respect due to Courts of justice and
judicial officers. I will not counsel
or maintain any suit or proceedings
which shall appear to me to be un
just, nor any defense except such as
believe to be honestly debatable
under the law of the land. I will
employ for the purpose of maintain
ing the causes confided to me such
means only as are consistent with
truth and Honor and will
never seek to mislead the Judge or
Jury by any artifice or false state
ment of fact or law. I will main
tain the confidence and preserve
inviolate the secrets of my clients,
and will accept no compensation in
connection with his business except
from him or with his knowledge
and approval. I will abstain from
all personalities, and advance no
fact prejudicial to the honor or re
putation of a party or witness, 1111
less required by the justice of the
cause with which I am charged. I
will never reject, from any consid
eration personal to myself, the
cause of the defenseless or oppressed
or delay any man s cause fur lucre
or malice. So help me God.:
A similar oath has been pres
cribed by the American l!ar Asso
ciation and it has been very appar
ent during the last few years that
the people of the United States and
especially the eminent lawyers and
judges are giving attention to court
proceed u re and are condemning
many things therein that allow de
lays, the making of great expense
and the miscarriago of justice.
These things are (many of them)
relics of ancient times when the
courts were not of the people but
were instruments in the hands of
the King. These rules should be
relegated to a state of "innocuous
desuetude'' as un-called for in a
benevolent self-government where
the people themselves are the gov
ernors and themselves exercise the
highest function of government, the
judicial, through their juries.
Judge Lawson, after visiting the
Courts of Europe and observing
procccdure in those Courts con
trasts them with our own much to
the dis-advantaee of the latter. He
calls attention to the fact that in
criminal cases in the I'nited States
a very small percentage of the. guilty
are punished and that in all eases
great delay and expense is caused
by what is permitted in our Courts
in the way of interfering with and
blocking the wheels of justice. For
this, Judge Lawson blames most
largely the lawyer.", and his article
cabled across the ocean is headed
"Curb the Lawyers."
Advance may bo made somewhat
by the Judges, but they can do lit
tle until our statutes and rules of
procccdure governing the matter
are changed. These will be changed
when and only when a powerful
public opinion demands it.
Every Grand Jury, every Trial
Jury, by showing that it appreciates
the truth, that it can detect false
hood and see through trickery, is
doing much to strengthen the law
of public opinion.
When the body of this County
from which you are taken and from
which all our trial jurors are taken
snows that it despises subtcrfuire
and has no respect for the attorney
who resorts to dishonest practises in
order to win his case, then attor
neys will not resort to such "prac
tises. If Maui County has less litigation,
has less crime, has less falsehood
and folly in dealing with criminals,
it is because of a hca'thy, growing
public opinion.
Appreciate the lawyers for their
assistance and good work and show
that you do so; while you also show
that you despise the shyster who
regards only the fee. Then we may
have fewer lawyers, but they be will
abler and better. Had men will not
bo encouraged to violas
our just
laws by seeing that punishment for
crime can be avoided by trickery.
The criticism of the lawyer who
thought that we did not have enough
law-suits on Maui is very grateful
to me and is high praise for our
County.
What a sad thing it would be if
we did not have any Grand Juries
at all or any Trial Juries 1 Per
haps we should go on improving
until there would be no need of all
this expensive machinery for pun
ishing crime so that every attorney
who visits Maui will come here for
the purpose of going up Haleakala
to contemplate the greatest physical
crater showing signs of mi
ancient Shcol ami returning to a
Happy Valley contemplate when
viewing society, an other extinct
crater showing only sulphurry
shores of an ancient social sinful
eruption.
However, unfortunately, the most
we can say is that we hope we are
on the road to such a consuinma--tion;
but to keep on the road and
keep progressing we must continue
to deter crime by the object-lesson
of certain punishment of the crim
inal.. You have this important service
before you of acting as Grand
Jurymen for this Term of Court. It
is important, it is a sacred duty.
It is the highest function of self-
government and it is demanded by
the needs of the governed.
I doubt not that you will well
perform your present service, but I
also remind you that it is only
part of a great anil constant service
and duty which you owe to your
country and to yourselves every day
of your lives, a duty which is best
performed by helping to establish
right, healthy, vigorous, public
opinion.
lou can also directly act upon a
certain class of attorneys by show
ing them that you do not honor
them when they resort to subterfuge
and trickery. For example: See
if, when a criminal case is called,
the attorney for the defendant, after
exhausting all his challenges for
cause, begins his peremptory dial
lenges and exhausts them all by
challenging the very best men of
the County and if his action shows
that with him it is not sufficient
that they know nothing of the part
ies, that they have no prejudice
against the defendant or his race,
that they are absolutely un-biased
and not prejudiced in any respect and
are in every way and manner qual
ified to act as fair, impartial jurors,
and if he shows that such men he
challenges because, they are men of.

moral character, of learnt;,?! Gentlemen,

rejects as far as he can the
very best men of the County and
the best men on the Jury Panel,
then show your disapproval. He can
do this under our law, but let every
intelligent man so judge of the law
yer and of bis motives as he de
serves to be jtidg. d, and let It be
known and spoken of until such
lawyers hear it and feel it; let it be
said of them that what thejvftnl is
not an honest jury of candid and
able and competent men, but that
they want that advantage which
ignorance, prejudice or dishonesty
gives to the criminal. When such
lawyers see their reputation dwind
ling, they will begin the work of
reformation on their part from self
interest. Do all you can to create a hen'y
puoiic opinion or conde,
-dilation of
lawyers v'u
so act. Do all you
can to destroy the practice of such
lawyers. Then when they are thus
taught, their own self-interest will
aid you to enforce them to become
honest lawyers.
There are many able and honest
lawyers. Give them praise and
support.
Of all professions the Law is the
noblest, its power and respon
sibilities greatest.
We have a right to demand more
of law vers than of other men. it a
Minister breaks the moral law, we
blame him more than other', and
rightfully so.
If a lawyer regards not truth and
justice, he is more to be blamed than
others, for it is against all the precepts
of the law and against his oath of
ollice. The license to practice law
is not a license to lie or to deceive.
He is to be bound by the truth and
to work for the justice in the light
of it.
An honest lawyer is the noblest
work of (iod nor will 1 admit it is
the rarest.
There are more reliable, truthful,
honest men who are eminent law
yers than proportionally - in any
other profession. Indcbd I might
say it is the rule that ull eminent
and able lawyers are honest.
An ignorant, weak, incompetent
lawyer is subject to temptations
that a learned, able lawyer never
has. Remember that trickery, dis
honesty and falsehood are signs of a
poor lawyer, poor in every sense.
Do not sympathize with crime or
with criminals. Pity the erimina
but despise and punish the crime
Such a public opinion will do more
than the penal statutes or any court
proceedings to stamp out evil-doing.
If at any time during your ses
sion, you desire further instruction
on any legal matters, you can re
port into this Courtroom lor such
aid. .
At the end of your service, you
will make a final report of your
action ami report it to this court.
You pertain to this Court, are
organized by this Court and are act
ing as a part thereof.
When you retire to your jury
room, you may select a ready writer
from one of your nutnlxir who will he
your secretary and keep the minutes
of your proceedings which must
also be filed in this Court.
The Court appoints Mr. A. W.
