The Lawyers- Here is the rule of ethics adopted by the Philadelphia bar for their government for the year 1879. I. All lawyers are members of the bar, but all members of the bar are not lawyers. ' 2. There are whisky bars and bars of justice, and lawyers must select at which bar they will practice. N.B. Prison bars are reserved ex exclusively - clusively exclusively (or clients. 8. All clients aro gnilty, hut acquit ;ed talent alone has saved them- 4.. Young lawyers mbst remember that they can only impress the courts by resting their feet upon the tables. 6. Never take a bigger fee than yon can get. . - . 6. Judges must remember that they sre elected by the people, we sre the people. , 7. If, in behalf of your client, yon have nothing to say do not say it, but say something else. - "' 8. A green bag it th lawyers em emblem. - blem. emblem. The greener the bag, the greener the lawyer, and the bigger the bag here the rnlo tails. '; 9. When a lawyer brings a bundle of kindling wood in his bag to light his otTic fire, he should be careful to remove it before entering court, and not to hand it tip as an authority to convince the judges. Such actions bring the bar into disrepute. Never give the page nor authority ot a case in offering an authority. Let tho court hunt for it. What are judges paid for. 11 When yon havo emptied you' clients pocket book, hand him enough money to pay his car fare home. This is au innovation on the estab lished practice, but it it more blessed to give than to receive. . 12 Should your client be convicted, be sore and demand the return of the car fare as tho county furnishes him the conveyance. 13 Watch and pray for paying lients.
