BAR TO BLAME FOR DISREPUTE, OGDEN ASSERTS Profession Lacks Honest Leadership, Declares Attorney-General. By Time* Special ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 16. —Scathing denunciation of the lack of honest leadership among lawyers was voiced here today by AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden of Indiana. Ogden spoke on “The Relation of the Attorney-General to Officers and to Citizens,” at the twenty-fifth annual meeting of the National Association of Attorneys-Generals. “The public today does not have the respect for our profession it formerly held,” Ogden charged. "Our profession is not one of leadership. We no longer are startled to read and hear the severest criticism of the profession of law. “Our profession has received the criticism of educators, jurists and journalists. The humorists make their cutting sallies at them, the funny pages hold up the lawyer to ridicule, the comedian in and out of the movies gets many a laugh at the expense of our profession, and even the gasoline bill-board takes its whack at them. “Let us frankly admit the shortcomings of our profession. We may deplore the existence of prejudice against it, but with it all we know there is some foundation for the criticism. We should cease being so self-satisfied and so loud in voicing our own respectability. “Our profession has failed lamentably in not keeping pace with civilization, in making changes to meet changing conditions. As wrong assumes new and varied forms the fundamental principles of justice must be adapted to meet the new and changing conditions. “Our responsibility to society is great. The public indifference must be aroused so that it will fight for orderly government.”
