ft ' \ HIGH STANDARD OF EFFICIENCY
\'i Throughout the country, the bar associations and
li
r
the legislatures of the states are strengthening thel
I present requirements of applicants for the admission
( to the practice of law. A standard of efficiency as to
I moral character and education are the first principles
t imposed on applicants for ndmission to the bar. In
i<_L-Missouri and Pennsylvania, the restrictions and®
ST requirements for applicants to the bar have been ;
El> drawn in and before a man can be admitted to tne
legal profession, he must have a clean record. The
St. lAiuis Globe-Democrat takes the following view
■ of the requirements of applicants to the practice of
law!
L- “Every applicant for admission and license (to the
f k practice of law) must be at least 21 years of age,, of
i stood moral character and a resident of this state.’
t. Tnese are the general qualifications prescribed by
I the statutes of Missouri for candidates for ndmission
( to its bar. What precautions are taken to make sure
f | that candidates have these qualifications? To de-
I termine eligibility is a duty of examiners named by
tire supreme court, und while applicants are required
to have only the equivalent of common or grammar
school training in general education, along with a
‘fair knowledge’ of history, literature nnd civil gov
ernment, these examiners are said by those who have
taken their tests to make a stiff inquiry in legal
, training. Candidates imny be required to furnish
proof of ‘good moral character,’ but it is about-the
same sort of perfunctory proof as that establishing
the fact of requisite ' age nnd residence within the
state. Moral eligibility, accordingly, means about as
much in this as in most of the states, but in Pennsyl
vania, under a law effective since last January and
now being applied for the first time, the examiners
inquire into moral eligibility, and both signify more
) at present than in the past. Of 168 recent candidates,
1 twenty-six were rejected for moral insufficiency and
several more were permitted to withdraw their app|i-
f cations for the same reason. ' That the twenty-six and
others would hav6 been admitted to practice under
~ thg old Pennsylvania nnd the present Missouri sys-
“ tern is hardly to bo questioned, nnd that they would
I reflect dittle credit on the profession is also proba-
ble.’V-*;
,*)' .Under the recent law enacted in Pennsylvania, a
greater number- of applicants for admission to the
bar arc refused than those that arc granted. The
i Georgia Bar Association has gone on record favoring
; more stringent requirements of applicants than here
tofore- The position taken by" this association has
I improved the personnel of the profession in a marked

ft I' , ’ CARNES DISAPPEARANCE A MYSTERY
it ft! * Ono Of the most mysterious cases occurring in the
| state in many years is that of C. S. Carnes, treasurer
of the Southern Baptist Association. Apparently with
; out cause on the 16th of August, Mr. Carnes mysteri
ously disappeared from his home city, Atlanta, and
after a nation wide search no news of his where-
( abouts has been learned. Another strange feature in
t connection with Mr. Carnes is the failure of,the offi
cers of the Southern Baptist Association to investigate
his.past record before employing him for such a ro-
i sponsible position. He had served 16 months’ sen-
r tence in the Federal prison in Atlanta and immedi
ately following his release ho entered the service of
1' the Baptist people and for tha past several years
I has conducted the affairs of that office in a most sat-
I isfactory manner, according to statements of the offi-
I] cials of the church. Not only did he succeed with
i the affairs of the church, but he mett with remark-
j able success in the real estate field and with a num-
i her of other enterprises in that city. And yet, with a
1 prison record in this and other states, he managed to
•jS keep it from the public. All of the enterprises with
J ’ which he was connected are reported to be in spien-
| did condition finally and not a dollar misappropria-
I ted has been found by the auditors working on his
f books.
i ' It is a strange case and one that should be investi-
I gated in a most thorugh manner and by experienced
CVt wpetiyes. If credence is to be given the reports
§*r f from the auditors and from those associated with him
r in. business there is no doubt about Mr. Carnes having
i met with an accident or foul play in some manner,
' either in Atlanta cr on a trip to other sections of the
J| country.
