ROOM FOR REFORM.
Judge Lowell Is a lawyer but he U
sufficiently liberal In mind to admit
.there is much that Is wrong with the

United States. If more lawyers would
do as he it would be vastly easier to
bring about reform in the judiciary.
In his address before the Sons of
the Revolution in Portland, Judge
Lowell made one suggestion that Js
novel and particularly interesting. He
suggested that the state should not
only prosecute criminals but should
also provide for their defense. If
he means. by that to do away with
private attorneys in court rooms he
has a radical suggestion indeed but
one of much merit for it strikes at the
root of a world of wrong.
Beyond doubt the greatest defect
of the Judicial system now. in use is
that it grants a wonderful advantage
to the litigant who has money or
other resources at his command. The
law does not arrange for a square deal
between the contestants in either
criminal or civil cases. A rich crim
inal is virtually immune from pun
ishment unless t(je evidence against
him be very conclusive. With money
he can employ able lawyers against
whom the public prosecutor cannot
successfully cope. With money de
tectives may be hired to "manufac
ture" evidence, witnesses may be Jug
gled with, jurors may be bought, now
and then, and often it occurs ipflu
ences can be brought to bear to keep
the prosecutor from prosecuting.
Men of experience know these things
to be true.
To insure exact justice those who
face the court should come alone and
naked before the bar. There should

be nothing to show a man's worldly
position. The rich man and the poor
man should be weighed by the same
scales and under similar conditions.
In no other way may we hope for
real justice.
But necessarily no such state of af
fairs can come about as long as the
present system is followed. A man
or wealth or Influence now may take
his riches with him when he goes
irto court. We are all so familiar
with the idea that many do not see
the absurdity of the thing. There are
some even who contend that our sys
tem is splendid and that the courts
should be considered as something al
most sacred. In reality they are of
ten monstrous.
THE ETERNAL SQUABBLE.
It Is a trite remark but a true one
that there are as many ways of
building good roads as there are ways
of. going to heaven. . It Is also true
that there is fully as much contention,
or more, among the road builders as
there Is among those who would
guide us to the spiritual paradise.
But the greatest truth of all with
reference to good roads is that if we
have improved roads we must con
struct them. We cannot get good
roads by continuous and perennial
wrangling. Nor can people reason
ably hope for a good roads plan that
will be entirely equitable and satis
factory to everybody. The interests
of the various sections of the state
are so conflicting and there are so

BARBARIC.
When the children of strikers are
suffering from lack of the necessities
of life as they seem to be at Law
rence it would appear to be a human
thing to send them to other towns
where they may be cared for. It looks
like a very proper move particularly
when tjiere are people elsewhere who
want to take care of them and when
the children are provided with tickets
upon which to make the trip.
Just why the authorities at Law
rence should try to stop the exodus of
children and whx they should have
police and militiamen charge upon
them as stated in United Press reports
today does not seem clear.
It is a very ugly story to put it mild
and If true then the congressional or
ators who tout a short time ago were
hurling vitriolic speeches at "barbar
ic" Russia should turn their batteries
on Massachusetts.

She led the Bashful One Into the
conservatory, where the strains from
the Blue Siamese Band floated out
to them and the creepers crept coyly
over the Rockery, and even the gold
fish seemed to bubble with love. She
led him to two chairs those same
two chairs which had sealed the fu
ture thousands,
"I am afraid," said the Bashful
One furtively, after she had led him
farther still, "that your father would
hardly give his consent."

HE CITED AN EXCEPTION.
A religious worker, while visiting a
western town, gave a "Talk for Men."
during the course of which he ex
pressed his conviction that no young
man should visit any place to which
he would not feel Justified in taking
his sister.
"Is there any young man present
who thinks one may safely disre
gard this wise rule?" ' asked the
speaker.
"Whereupon a youth in the rear
of the hall arose and shouted in a
stentorian tone; v
"Yes, sir, I do!"
"And what, sir," demanded the an
gry and surprised speaker, "Is the
place which you yourself would think
of visiting to which you could not
take your sister?"
"The barber shop!" replied the
youth. St. Paul Dispatch.
