PREVENTION OF CRIME.
Court Procedure Making 1T Even

Chicago Chronicle. =.
Within a generation circumStan-

greatly enlarged the boundaries OF
temptation to seek gain through
criminal practices Of many kinds-a
very serious condition that has been
growing up largely through the ope-
ration Of great industrial develop

plication Of mechanical power to
transportation, to manufacturing,
and to printing.
Intelligent knowledge Of mankind

makes 1t our obvious duty to
strengthen the laws which former

Of those charged with enforcing the

inal1y too careful Of the, so-called
rights of men accused OF crime, we
have made our court practice more
and more loose and indulgent.

1t is fact Of common knowledge

much of it, but we are grief-burdened

Cory. the great cartoonist of the
New York American threw q picture,

attracted much attention. 1t must
have been great picture. for it put
men to thinking. Anything that
makes men think is beyond the ordi-
nary, whether it be breathing, living
thing, or thought in colors The car,
toon was this: Outside a newspaper
office was great bulletin board, and
upon it was chalked the news of the
day. The news embraced these facts:
A Chinese Wins the Oratorical Con-
test in Western University; A Negro
wins Rhodes Scholarship; A Japan

some feet away contemplating this bull
letin board, and is evidently struck by
the alertness of the despised and like
wise the stupidity Of his favorite chill
dren. Noting the absence of the name
of white youth upon that board, he
strokes his famous beard, and asks
himself the question: where Do I
Stand?" Well might he ask that
question, but it is unanswered. The
Il bite youth is too engaged in telling
the world ,why"th colored races are
inferior to heed or answer, and the
despised races are too busy disproving

but longer list of names of his I'M

question. 1t will not be where Do |

these Inferior People will not stand?"
When cartoonist like Cory gives
over his brush to such a picture as he
has drawn, it is time to say Progress,
Progress everywhere!
If he had waited until this week to
paint that picture, Cory would have
had an additional inspiration for it,
Last Saturday night in an o-atorical
contest in Kansas City, Miguel Nicdau,
Filipino student Of the Illinois State
Normal School, won first prize in a
Econtest In which five states took part.

more inferiority. \, A dose of it would

DOCMER ON THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has always aroused the dithy-
rambic propensity Of men who have
contemplated its grandeur and con-
sldered the power vested in it by the
Constitution, which fo.ms the chief
wisdom of the fathers who framed
that wonderful paper. Many times
and more there have come forward
critical students of the law, and wise
men in the knowledge of the history
of humanity's progress, to point out
wherein this or that provision in the
Constitution, could, in the light of
events and conditions, have been prop
a2Aaa-~sb and happily, left unpenned.
But no man has arisen to find the
least fault with the creation of the
Supreme Court or the definition of it's
duties and the stalking of it's boundar-
les. Rather, as we intimated a few
words ago, none has considered but to
praise, none has written but to pen
It's grandeur, how august in its sim
pHcity! The fact is we ourselves
have begun to take some stock in the
beauty Of it, in its majesty, and in
the part it has played in the history
OF our laws and progress.
However, the Supreme Court, seem
1ngiy, has always been tied to the
sfaye interests of the South, and even
now appears unable to tear away from
those who have Inherited the preiu-
d1ces OF that section. We are remind
ed OF this by an explosion of the bril-
liant fTenchman, Paul Doumer, recent
~ returned to Paris after an extend
ed, and somewhat pleasant visit to
these shores. M. Doumer has been
President of the French Chamber of
Deputies, and is an otherwise prom.
1nent and influential citizen. Talking

Sawyer county at Cameron dam is

snd has not been for three years. and
that Dietz has withheld property by
force from the owners and officers.
jury holds that Diet has no right
to the dam and is violating the law by
not allowing the Chippewa Lumber
and Boom company to use the same.
The jury believes that Dietz is more
or less insane, or at least desperate.
and recommends that the state fur
nish sufficient military force to arrest
him. and that the governor be asked
to put an end to anarchy at Cameron
dam.
