one recommendation made by Pres
ident Roosevelt in his recent message
that viii appeal to most people who
have watched The cause Of justice in
the courts is that suggesting that no
appeals be allowed except where there
may have been a miscarriage of JUS

At present an appeal may be. end

In the case may have borne out the
verdict rendered by the jury. an ap-
peal may be taken and sometimes a
reversal is secured on a. purely techni-
cal ruling made by the trial court.
This is what the president would cor
rect. In connection with his discus
sion of court matters he says:
Il would like to call attention to
the very unsatisfactory state OF our
criminal law, resulting in large part
from the habit of setting aside the
judgments of inferior courts on tech
nicalitfes absolutely unconnected with
the merits of the case, and where
there Is no attempt to show that there
has been any failure OF substantial
Justice. It would be well to enact a
law providing something to the effect
that:
mo judgment shall be set aside or
new trial granted in any cause, civil or
criminal. on the ground of misdirec-
ton of the jury or the improper ad-
mission or rejection Of evidence. or for
error as to any matter of pleading or
procedure unless. in the opinion of the
court to which the application is
made, after an examination of the en-
tire cause. it shall affirmatively ap-
pear that the error complained Of has
resulted in a miscarriage of Justice
OF course. the widest latitude should
be given to set at the right of a mat
ter, but under our present system too
often the guilty escape on some tech
nicaHty, or the litigant with money is
able to defeat his opponent in a civil
suit, simply because he can afford to
keep up the litigation on grounds aside
from the merits involved. Justice
should be the end subserved. and too
often the technicality defeats it.

Attention has been called by an
eminent Kansas gentleman to the fact
that little is said. in the discussions
pertaining to the election of United
States senator, about one candidate
who may be in a position to capture
the plum in spite of the fact that he is
little advertised.
This candidate is Senator James F.
Getty. of Wyandotte county. The afore-
said eminent gentleman confidently
predicts that Senator Getty will assume
the leadership on the floor OF the state
senate the coming winter. crowding the
distinguished senator from Edwards
and seventeen other counties out OF
that job.
It is argued that while Senator Get
ty is not counting on leading the bunch
in the beginning of the senatorial trot,
he win be in excellent position to re
ceive the strength Of other candidates
as it becomes evident that they cannot
be elected.
In other words, he is running as
dark horse candidate and Is making
friends among the supporters of other
candidates instead of enemies, antici-
pating that 1t will be necessary to COM
bine on some one who is not especially
Objectionable to any particular crowd
It cannot be denied that Senator
Getty is brilliant and a hard worker
but his candidacy has not thus far
been taken seriously apparently. Still
it might be we'll to remember that
there is a man of that name with his
lightning-rod up.
Incidentally if Senator Getty assumes
the leadership in the upper house Of
the legislature In place OF Fred Du-
mont Smith. 1t will be removing the
leadership from the largest district in
the state to the smallest, besides max
ing other differences.

Won't you buy a calendar, sir :?

No. l don't want a calendar the
man answered. slipping his lemonade

But the vender persuaded him to
buy one, and he ordered it to be de-

Going to this house, the vender
said to the wife:
