COURTS SERVE THE RICH.

Conditions Exist That Should Arouse
Every Lover Of Equal Justice.
Speaking in the First Universalist
church at Buffalo, some time ago,
Clarence S. Darrow said:
For the past twenty-five or thirty
years there has not been a state legis-
lature in this country not owned or
controlled by the big corporations.
THE legislatures and our common
councils are corrupt from top to bot
tom, and should an honest man happen
to get in, he at once finds that his
hands are tied and can do nothing.
Most of the law which governs us
is not made by the legislatures, but
by the courts.
ut is seldom that a judge is ac-
cused of taking bride, and l believe
that on the whole our judges are hon
est, as they understand honesty.
IF we elected shoemaker for judge
we would not get as much law as from
one who had been a lawyer, but we
would get a good deal more justice.
1.-THE only code of morals we law
yers are taught in our business is
to be true to our clients.
"A rich man is foolish to break the
law; all he has to do is to change it
when it doesn't suit him.
There are fishes in the Mammoth
Cave which have no eyes because they
have no use for them. After lawyer
has worked for corporation num-
Der of years he sheds his conscience
for the same reason.
There is not a prize ring in the
country that would allow so one-sided
a contest between pugilists as oul
courts are in the habit of permitting
between the rich and the poor"

the gold, silver, platinum and rubber

they were tenderly placed after the
funeral as a memento of the dead

the family and the gold plate as

the rent. What tales Of grief they
represent are never known to us. We
pay different prices, accordingsto the

GLASS HOUSES.

Let Us Remember Local Matters.

Let Us Remember Local Matters.
Russia is reaping the whirlwind of
social discomfort. Thousands of work.
ing people throng the streets crying for
justice, and their answer is the volley
fire of the paid military. Men ask for
the privilege of working for enough
to keep wives and babies from starry
ing, and their requests are greeted with
the bayonet's point and the curses of
the idle rich. Children lift their
starved and pinched faces before the
palace gates and beg for food, and the

whose dogs live better than the aver
age Russian.
For days mobs have ragged through
the streets of ST. Petersburg and Mos
COW, and the cutters have run red with
the blood of the slain. The whole
world stands aghast at the spectacle,
and the Russian government seems
tottering in the balance. Americans
stand upon the street corners here in
Lincoln ana give utterance 10 tnelr
denunciations of conditions that bring
about such results, and damn the pow

poor or the welfare of the body polite,
But the student of contemporaneous
history who hears these denunciations
of Russian government is compelled to
smile grimly When he hears American
citizens bemoaning the fate of the Rus

grimly and express surprise that peo

Mistake to Let Children Be Too Ambi
tious at School.
Don't let your children overstudy
Especially is this important for girls
at critical age. 1t is shame to see
how some of these children are forced
to pore over complicated mathemati-
cal problems in the evening, after a
days work is over. AS consequence,
they often do not sleep soundly, and
their health is undermined. No child
should study in the evening. If they
cannot learn enough during school
hours, then let them do without it.
What is the use of so much knowl-
edge-often more or less useless
knOwledge-to a child whose health
is ruined? DR.. Hills, editor of the
Medical Times, truthfully says:

largely a crammer of Juvenile brains.

ST. Petersburg and Moscow, accepting
the hysterical press dispatches as Cos
pei truth, were not patching to what
has happened right here in these glo-
rious United States of America. The
anti-war demonstrations in st. Peters,
burg were Sunday school picnics COM
pared with the draft riots in New York
during our civil war. Russian troops
in St. Petersburg fired into the ranks
OF strikers and killed many, and Amer
leans shudder with horror But armed
troops did the same thing at Pittsburg,
Pa. in 1877, at Homestead in 1892 and
at Chicago in 1894.
Americans denounce the Russian au-
thorities for shooting into crowd of
peaceful citizens who gathered before
the palace gates to submit their trou-
bles to the head of their government.
But in 1894 peaceful army of Amer
leans marched to the white house in
Washington to submit a petition to the
head of their government, and the
mob" was dispelled by the police and
the leaders thrown into Jail.
In the name of common sense and
reason, can any intelligent and un-
prejudiced American tell us wherein
we have any the best of Russia in
these matters?
20, them Chicago strikers were de-
laying the United States mails, and the
government had to send the troops!"
calculates some hidebound partisan or
open enemy of labor unionism.
| That's liza hc'' faced, outrageous
lie, manufa ,m whole cloth.
There never was minute during the
whole Chicago strike that train crews
were not ready to man and pull the
mail trains.
well, them Homestead strikers
armed and tried to keep free American
workmen from takin' their places when
they struck for higher wages" shouts
another.
| That's another lie from the same
piece. The Homestead men demanded
strict compliance with the agreement
between themselves and their employ
ers, and barricaded themselves to re-
sist the attacks of hired thugs known
as "Pinkertons," the scum of creation
and recruited from the ranks OF
thieves, thugs, hold-ups and despera-
does ready to murder for price.
The car of Russia is an autocrat
and has condemned many a man to
Punishment. But when an American
damns the exercise of such arbitrary
power let him remember Peabody OF
Colorado, for Car Nicholas in his
widest exercise of power never ex-
celled Peabody.
o, it's easy to denounce the Russian
method, but it isn't consistent. We
live in a very large and fragile glass
house over on this side of the Atlantic
