-t t UlvKI V M DIFFERENT, 1
Senator Sutherland c-juld not do
this ven if tha temptation of a quick-!
ly earned competence presented It-
fcT to him. He is ao truly a lawyer
In the old-fashioned sense and his
mind has so long moved In the groove
that be could hardly get out of It if he
would. Furthermore, he is tempera
mentally one of those men whose
sense of taste would always proven
them from successfully trading upon
personal nlatlons.
Moreover, the persons who have
been familiar with Senator Suther
land's career from its p ginning in the
mountain villages of l lah know that
the ambition which has always pulled
Him Is not a fortune, and not een
a competence, but eminence in the
law. This last he has. I have been
told by one who overheard the words
that Mr Eilihu Itoot once .-poko ol
Senator Sutherland as one of the tlno
greatest lawyers in America.
LO! E OF L W
Thai il a. position a man gets only
through loving the law ao a science
and making u his nrUstress.
Great corporations come i Senator
Sutherland. Without any great tut
mo!l of conscience, but Btmplj as the
repression of the natural law that gov
erns his inl-id, lie takes their eases
1 only so far as those cases present'
thorough problems of law . To ihe de-
j groo that the clarifying processea of

SOME DISAPPOINTED.
I Even clients who do not expect from
the lawyers they retain anything even
faintly improper may sometimes have

I get from Senator Sutherland that
! heartiness of advgeacy, that partisan

1 side of the case that lawyers of a
1 different temperament can give.
Ex-Senator Sutherland's mind Is
I judicial both b temperament and by
1 a life-time of self discipline. His
I mind la more intent on ihe abstract

involved, and his major purpose is
I thai the legal problems Involved shall

Senator Sutherland will show mo-

himself or to his clients,
