together, a drain on the resources of the

to five times the cost OF running the whole

tremendous burden on the resources Of
the people: yet this stupendous tax on
the Industries OF six governments Of
Europe IS only one-fourth Of the amount
spent for the liquor traffic in the United
Statesl This terrible waste can also be
seen In the fact that the annual con-
sumption OF beer alone. In this country,
has increased from 100000 barrels to
IS 900 900 barrels, within few years while
the population has only doubled. Public
vice and criminal arrests have also in

The Indianapolis bar as we'll as every
advocate in the country respects the
memory Of Mai. J. w. Gordon, who died
ten years ago. after having reached the
summit Of fame as a criminal lawyer. His
reputation was national. and Il was said
of him that he defended successfully more
men charged with murder than any other
four men in the United States. Never
in all his career was there but one Of his
clients hung, and his case was taken to
the supreme court OF the United States
three times on errors. In the celebrated
Glenn murder case Maj. Gordon secured
five trials, two reversals ia the supreme
court and finally tired the state out so
completely that his client was freed.
Maj. Gordon was "a man Of vigorous
and determined manner with a wonderful
skill In analyzlng humans actions. His
great forte was trying fraud and muir
der cases. and In these he was known as
the Great Defender" After n careful
selection OF the jury he would address
one man at a time like Choate. gradually

with Mai. Gordon IN the practice Of law
during the latter part OF his career. was
asked the other day as 70 what Maj Cor
don regarded as his most satisfactory
piece OF work. and replied that he had
often heard the brilliant advocate speak
of the Newland-Evans case with greater
satisfaction than any other Of his many
interesting criminal cases.
