It is freely admitted by three-fourths of the nation that the lawyer is a necessary evil; we on the other hand, admit the evil and absolutely deny the necessity. Or, if he is necessary, it a merely because he makes his own necessity. He is an animal that travels in a circle, and he is ciscatial an account of his existence; if he did not exist he would not be essential. In other words, he lives to fill a certain purpose, and he first of all makes the purpose, and then fills it. He is the sole cause of hmiself, and he is also the effect of his own cause. The business of his life is to dig a hole, and then fill it up again, and to charge both for the digging and the filling? he also creates the original necessity for the hole, and charges for that likewise. Therefore if he finecessary, he is necessary, only to himself, and if he supplies a long felt want, it is bis own want, and is only felt by himself. And by-and- bye the nation will realise that the man who wants himself, but who is wanted by nobody else, has no right to charge the public far supplying himself, any more than the man who is hungry should charge for being hungry, and then charge for eating, and finally send in a third ponderous bill for not feeling hungry after

Consequently Acts are made more unfathomable and incomprehensible in the effort to baffle and suppress the lawyer, and through this same incomprehensibilty is necessary to hire lawyers to define thefr meaning before they are of the slightest use to the community at large.
