Our Contributors. HENRY M. HOYT is a native of Wilkesbarre, Pa., and a graduate of Yale. He received his law degree from the University of Penn sylvania in 188 1, and began practice in Pittsburgh. For a number of years he was largely engaged in banking, but in 1893 resumed practice. In 1897 he became Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and upon the retirement of Solicitor General Richards he was appointed his successor. His long acquaintance with Sena tor Knox, and his experience in the Department of Justice, both during and since the important period which Mr. Knox instituted, makes his article of especial value. ROBERT C. SMITH, K. C., is the head of the firm of Smith, Markey & Skinner, Advocates, of Montreal, Can., and his delightful addresses before several of our bar associations in recent years have made his name familiar to lawyers throughout the country. We are glad of an opportunity to give our readers an example of his elo quence which has usually been presented informally without an opportunity to preserve it. MR. BEDWELL is the Assistant Librarian of the Library of the Middle Temple, and is commended by students as exceptionally endowed for historical research. He has been a frequent and wel come contributor to the best English monthlies and quarterlies. PAUL EDGAR LESH is a lawer in active practice in Washington, where he is associated with Messrs. Nathaniel and Clarence R. Wilson. He is in the atmosphere of agitation for revision of the Sherman Law; of the decisions under which he has made an especial study. We regret that the modesty of the author of our Scotch verses prevents us from disclosing to our readers the name and record of the Iowa Justice who consented to their publication only upon con dition of anonymity. After a long retirement Squire Attorn has again begun to hand down decisions through the editorship of Mr. Adams, formerly of Davenport, Iowa, but more recently of Indianapolis, Ind.
