i1otr are two causes that initiate
AGAINST the just and larger influence Of
the tar. One is, the lack at certain
times CT concerted and united effort; the
DINER, the failure or the negligence OF the
BAR in the matter OF keeping its ranks
IaE-s4 OF unworthy members. Let me
Soy d word as TO lheSe TWO points.
ITO declare the need of united effort
in the prosecution of any object is to ut
Ter Il truism. Our profession, like all
other professions and all other occupa-
lions. has had and still has its strength
constantly dissipatcd by the lack of CO.
operative cXcrtion. This association has
demonstrated the truth of the potency
of combined endeavOr in the few years
o.. its existence. BY its united effort
l"o needed reforms have been brought
about n North Carolina, in matters af-
,9ting the public generally and the bar
IFMarily: the increase of Judicial dis
'lets If the State to the number of six
teen and the consequent speedier and
.3}T" satisfactory settlement of legal
'"ajfovorsics among our people, and the
1aeH@t i'm tho rules of the Supreme court
SO that now a tvo-ycar course of study
'1- @ strict and sufficient written cX-
summation are required of persons be-
-oEa they are licensed to practice law.
I".se reforms have been brought about
"E the action of this association. 1t
SHOWS that Whenever we originate any
l..toI OF reform and press it with unan-
+1'F. 1T viii prevail.
"Iha existence of this association is
"aIaatod uUon the need of the bar OF
~arfa Carolina for ORGANIZATION and con
eantration Of Influence It's very cxis-
tt1.a effrms tho nrognant fact that onlv
oF the concentration of their strength
tan tho LAWYERS Of North Carolina oc-
4. ana hold that position of supreme

t.I"'. l say, Of right, because from
''-i1hlng their influence has always
