Cases de- veloped where it was shown that persors had two jobs, or several members of the same family were on relief, or a wife was on relief and the husband had a com- mercial or government job or vice versa, but nothing so flagrant as that of Mrs. Violet Crocker of Detroit, Michigan, who was dropped from relief rolls after she had bought a new spring wardrobe and had purchased a ticket for London to view the Coronation.

But it is also true that usually such a forfeiture of public confidence is due to the attitude end actions of a small minority of the in- dividuals composing the group concerned. It can not be denied that years, particularly, the legal profession zenship. Justly or unjustly, the feeling has grown that pettifogging and sharp prac- tice have been too much in evidence, there- by delaying if not entirely defeating the ends of justice. It is refreshing, then, to note that the American Bar Association itself is taking cognizance of this situation, and will move to correct it. Former President * Evans courageously stated the case to his fellow lawyers in a candid address, in which he said: ‘ “It seems better to recognize and deal with the attitude of the public as it actually is, and not as we wish it were. For instance, the publie believes that we harbor and otherwise encourage crooked lawyers;‘and we canuot enter a convincing denial of the charge. We have not har- bored or encouraged them in any direct or affirmative way, but we do know and the; public knows that we have not tried very hard to protect the public from the ravages of unworthy lawyers.” Obviously it is up to the reputable members of the bar, who are in the vast majority and have the power to do it, to: clean house whenever and wherever cir- a whole.
