Copyright 19n, by Jourmnal of the Bar AUssocitis of the State Wot Ksns, A LAWYER CAN BE A. CONSTRUCTIVE CITIZEN* During the years of existence of this association many interesting papers have been presented to it, written by able jurists; and most of them have dealt with various phases of the law and subjects which are interesting to the lawyers only. There. also have been presented to it many papers by able practitioners with reference to the practice of the law. Many subjects'incidental to the pro- fession have been treated. A great many other matters have come before this body with the intent to improve the profession, the practice of the law; and to assist the respective members in being ethical and proper. These matters are all of great benefit and assistance to the lawyer, but I will not attempt to present anything of that nature. The remarks that I am about to make may seem drastic and probably I will be criticized for being political; but it is not intended that this address should be political. Regardless of the political affiliations of a lawyer, whether he be Republican or Democrat, his work can be constructive within his party and as a citizen. For the purpose of realizing our obligations as citizens, the necessity of taking an active interest; and the attempt to perform a real service in our re- spective communities, I wish to call your attention to some of the conditions that we have in the United States of America today. We have a depression, the like of which I have been told by many who havegqne through them, has not occurred.since the Civil War. Our economic conditions-.are at their lowest ebb; the respect for laws is utterly lacking; crime is rampant and our prisons are crowded. There have been times when -no doubt there was more real suffering among people and more absence of the dire necessities of life; but in those days there were fewer people, less business and less industry. The -variations *Address Delivered by the President at the Annual State Bar Association Convention.
