"the Reign Of Eloquence Is Passing"
HONESTY, courage, intelligence and health are necessary to marked success even in commercial pursuits, where the attainment of money is the only thing desired.
IN THE LEARNED PROFESSIONS THERE MUST BE ADDED TO THESE LEARNING, TACT IN THE MANAGEMENT OF PEOPLE AND SKILL ALONG THE LINES TO BE PURSUED.
The successful lawyer must have as excess baggage ease of expression and an indefinable adaptability for throwing oneself wholly into the concerns of another. But, most of all, he must in these latter days possess business ability. The most successful lawyer is he who is of greatest assistance to the business man. THE REIGN OF ELOQUENCE IS PASSING, if not altogether gone. It is of assistance still, but not indispensable. JURIES YAWN BEFORE FIERY ORATORY, AND THE UPPER COURTS NOW REVERSE CASES BECAUSE OF IT.
