GENTLEMEN OF THE BAR

When any business, or profession, or
calling, falls into public disesteem there is
generally some valid underlying reason for
that unfortunate situation But it is also
true that usually such forfeiture of pub
lie confidence is due to the attitude and
actions of small minority of the in
dividuals composing the group concerned.
1t can not be denied that in recent
years, particularly, the legal profession
has to a considerable degree lost caste in
the opinion of a large element of our
citizenship. Even the judiciary. in many
instances, has not been held beyond re-
proach.
Justly or unjustly, the feeling has
grown that pettifogging and sharp prac-
tice have been too much in evidence,
thereby delaying if not entirely defeating
the ends of justice.
1t is refreshing, then, to note that the
American Bar Association itself, at its re-
cent annual convention in Milwaukee, took
cogniZance of this situation, and will move
" COIICCt II. TECStuNHt Evans COuEdkSOuslg
stated the case TO his fellow lawyers in a
candid address, in which he said:
1T 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 public believes that we
harbOr and otherwise encourage crooked
lawyers; and we cannot enter a convinc-
ing denial of the charge. We have not
harbored or encouraged them in any di-
rect 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
cumstances make such action necessary. Ii
they do not do it, they have only them
selves to blame if the public shall continue
to look askance at the legal profession an
a whole.

SPEAKING OF TOURISTS
Miami Daily Newsl

Russell Kay, whose homespun, neighborly
comments are a bright spot in nrany Florida
weeklies and small dailies was discussing the pro-
motion OF tourist business in a recent column The
smaller cities with necessarily modest advertising
appropriations, he pointed ont, cannot hope TO
make much Of impression in the national field
Bat they get excellent results, he believes by
concentrating on reaching the tourists already at
traeted by larger campaigns and, with liberal space
in larger Florida dailies, persuading them to stop
over" before returning North. Then he adds a
few words courtesy every Floridian might well
consider:
Another thing you can do. and it won't
cost cent, is show these folks good time.
Make 'em like you when they do come In
within them is just the first step. Answer
their questions even when they seem foolish.
Be courteous ad considerate Don't be too
hard boiled with them if they make left
hand turn or run through light you do it
yourself sometimes. you know. Tell 'em where
the fish live and what kind Of bait to II
they stop at the Chamber of Commerce for
information surprise 'em with a free glass
Of orange juice. Hand the kids a stick of
sugar cane to gnaw on and pin pretty flower
while you present the old with
free copy Of the local newspaper. Maxim
a fuss over folks like that isn't expensive
and, boy, il sure makes a hit. They come back
again and again and each time they bring
more folks with 'em.
Chicago has set a high standard in this re-
spect during its Century of Progress exposition
In training It's police force to be courteous to
guests, it realized that it had only begun its job.
Recent visitors to the fair report an even more
amazing accomplishment. The taxi-cab drivers have
actually been converted. And with few excep-
tons, the stranger in Chicago has been made to
feel that he is welcome; that he may ask informa-
ton without being rebuffed and need not spend
money reckle,sly to obtain ordinary service.
Can Florida afford to do less? Advertising
will bring them, but just ordinary decency fair
and q good-natured greeting will do more
than anything else to keep our guests longer and
assure their return, year after year.

GREECE Determined

Interior Minister'S Secretary Hints
Action Is Likely Despite

ATHENS, January 20.-Indications
grew in informed circles today that the
Greek government remains firm in its
intention to deport Samuel insult re-
gardless of his weak heart or a de-
cision of the State Council in the mat
ter
This belief was buttressed by a
declaration Of the interior ministers
secretary. who said the administration
was determined to expel the former
Chicago utilities operator, despite his
appeal to the council from govern
ment order declining to renew his resi-
dence permit after January 81.
The eight members of the council
debated the pleas of its reporter and
Insults attorneys, given at a hearing
yesterday. during a heated two-hour
session today. Its decision was not ex-
pected before Tuesday.
The only reaction at insults home
continued to be that he was suffering
from a heart ailment.
1t was generally forecast in circles
closely following the case that the
