..REMIss IN THEIR DUTY


A prominent West Florida lawyer, chairman
of the legal board for his county, writes the
Journal as follows:
0Do you mind stating, edtorially, in the
Journal your opinion of lawyers who fall neglect
or refuse to render aid to registrants in filling
question: -ires.
'Fro.n what have heard. your bar are loyal,
and all are doing their patriotic duty. But they
are not doing this everywhere They are not
here. Those here who do not seem to care to CO.
operate, are among the best men and lawyers of
this section. Yet they seem to feel that they
are under no legal, moral or patriotic obligation
to take any part in this very important matter"
It is a surprise to know that there are lawyers
in West Florida who decline to respond to the
governments call for their services. None APP
preciate more fully than the lawyers themselves
the need for assistance in filing out the compli-
Gated question form. Many registrants- per
haps it would not be an exaggeration to say the
average man-fnds it very difficult to properly
make his return without assistance and advice.
Recognizing this, the government has called
upon the lawyers to give that aid.
The high ethics of the legal profession seemed
to insure that the response would be prompt
full and unhestating. At most instances it has
been. That few lawyers have failed to see
their duty, seeing have ignored it, it is humili-
ating to the great body of legal men who have
SO willingly dropped their practice and given
their time to this important work
Probably those who have failed to do their
part are not intentional slackers. It may be that
they have not seen their duty. In such cases a
friendly reminder should serve to make the
matter right. Where deliberate stacking is
evident, public opinion should be permitted to in
flict its own punishment, which will be amply
sufficient
Fortunately, Escambia has no lawyer slackers
mat one OF our nearby counties should be SO
afflicted is much to be regretted.
