Only thos;.- legal systems have
survived which have rcspeeted
people by seeing ithat they had
wcll-traineg men to speak up for
th&m in court. Otherwise law be-
comes arbitrarily forced upon
people in distress who may not
know their rights or how to assent
them.

go to "rhetoricians" or "sophists'
to get under-the-table advice on
how to win lawsuits. Such "law-

Later, law passed into hands of
wealthy, influen ial, educated
non-priests who, out of duty to
ithe Republic, helped others before
the Roman courts. Their motto:
"High above all virtues stands the
law."
Later, as th? Caesars took over,
the Greek notions crept back
High-minded men had to take
action against shady characters
under a code for lawyers covering
their preparation for, and admis-
sion to the bar, their competency,
pay and conduct.
Under the barbarians Roman
law gave way to the tribal folk-
ways of the Goths. Everyone
(with the hcip of kinfolk) had to
fight his own battles. For example,
no one saw crime as a Public of-
fense punishable by the state;
murder, theft, etc., were personal
affronts, and private affairs.
Some of the Roman law lived
on in Church courts and in Italy.
With growing commerce in the
Eleventh Century the princes and
merchants called in lawyers to
improve local trade and set up
ru! s for .trad . For this they
turned again to 'the Roman law—
the Justinian Cod —which thus
became the foundation for the
legal systems of Europe. With it
aga^n came the notion of profes-
j sional responsibility.
(This column, prepared by the
State Bar of Texas, is written to

should ever apply or interpret any
law without the aid of an attorney
who is fully advised concerning
! the facts involved, because a slight
i variance in facts may change the
, application of the law.)

Dear Friends:
President Eisenhower has is-
sued a proclamation designating
May 1 for the celebration of Law
Day U. S. A., and referred to it
as a day of national dedication to
the principle of government under
laws.
The rule of govemmerrt by law
long to the state, and the other,
that the state belongs to the peo-
ple. Those who believe in the first
oft.n object to such a P'ai"
statement of the fact, but it is
nonetheless true.
I hold firmly to the conviction
that the liberty and dignity of
man should be uph.ld, and that
An efficient executive is one
who can handle nut only his job,
but other jobs and other people in
them, and put the right people in
j the right job.

instead of by man
tion freedom and opportunity for
American citizens. In the present
condition of affairs, it is to be de-
sired that our attention be focused
on this rule and its jreat value
and importance to us and our way
of life. Before the observation
date, I will devote one of my
weekly radio reports to th s sub-
ject.
Wt have been in a crisis of one
character or another for twenty-
five years, and for that reison our
country has been a fertile field
for the propagation f radical
ideas, including the ieid of law.
There have n.ver '"t:i but "wo
philosophies of govern: nt There
have been many dot".tines and
isms advanced, but a'.! "f them arc
inctuded in one or th other of
the two philosophic-. One philoso-
phy teaches that the people bc-
the founda- the government is the servant of
the people, its main duty being
to protect that lib.rty and dignity.
We had our richts to !ifc. liber-
ty and property prior to the adop-
tion of our Constitution; the Con-
stitution confirmed those rights.
At least until ree nt years it was
generally conceded that those
rights were inherent and invioi-
i able, ana tint the Unit d States
Government was instituted to
protect us in their enjoyment.
Now. with the Supreme Court
and the Executive branches vio-
lating provisions of the Constitu-
tion. we find some people claim-
ing that times have changed, and
former standards are no longer
workable. But standards of free-
dom do not change. Those prin-
ciples have endured through the
life of our nation, and under them
we built the most enlightened
civilization in the history of the
world. I am not wiHing to yieid
any one of them.
Your Congressman,
John Dowdy.
