Excerpt from Report of the Forty-Third Annual Meeting of the American Bar Association Held at St. Louis, Missouri, August 25, 26, 27, 1920 Craft is the vice, not the spirit, of the profession. Trick is pro fessional prostitution. Falset is professional apostasy. The strength of a lawyer is in thorough knowledge of legal truth, in thorough devotion to legal right. Truth and integrity can do more in the profession than the subtlest and wiliest devices. The power of integrity is the rule; the power of fraud is the exception. Emulation and zeal lead lawyers astray; but the general law of the profession is duty, not success. In it, as elsewhere, in human life. The judgment of success is but the verdict of little minds. Professional duty, faith fully and well performed, is the lawyer's glory. This is equally true of the Bench and of the Bar. - edward G. Ryan.
