Letter from Charles Freeman Johnson to Charles G. Pease

Charles Freeman Johnson, Acting Secretary of the People’s National Legal Ethic’s Society thanks Charles G. Pease for his letter. He forwarded it to President William H. Taft, who discussed the failure of legal administrators in a recent speech. Johnson argues that if public opinion demands the impartial and just enforcement of existing laws, then no magistrate could discriminate. The Society believes that Chief Magistrate of New York City William McAdoo will support the improvement of general condition.

Letter from Charles Freeman Johnson to Editor of The Outlook

Due to the overwhelming number of inquiries about the Peoples National Legal Ethics Society, Charles Freeman Johnson discusses its purpose and support in a letter to the editor of The Outlook. The organization seeks to cooperate with the American Bar Association through state advisory councils to adopt and enforce the Association’s code of ethics. Such enforcement throughout the country will significantly advance reform in legal procedures, and it is the type of movement President William H. Taft recommended in his speech in Chicago, Illinois. Johnson quotes lawyers and legal professionals who support the Society, which is expected to have 400,000 members within a year. He invites correspondence from interested parties.
