Judge LindSey'S Lecture.

The public are taking much interest in
the coming of Judge Ben. B. Lindsey here
on the evening of April 9, and one who
has been intimately associated with him
in the work Of the juvenile courts has
this to say of his personality:
"He, is not legal hair splitter; he is a
moral dynamo. He understands the
boy nature and he makes boys under
stand him. He knows their dialect and
uses it; he gets their ear, their confidence,
and their heart. They will tell him
stories of their own wrongdoiug which
they have not confessed to their teacher,
their pastor, or their parents. He not
only gains their confidence, but he gains
their affection, so that boys keep
straight in order to keep square with
the judge The Judge, instead of being
looked upon as an enemy, as is the
average policeman, is regarded as a
friend and ally. who even protects the
boy against the nagging policeman when
necessary. and who will stop a civil pro-
ceeding in the county court, a million
dollar case to listen to the story of such
a boy and give him note that will do
it. What chains and handouts and jails
could not do has been done by this
courageous judge, who has smashed the
police and judicial traditions, and after
frightening the police captains and other
conservative people has ended by con-
verting them. If there is any place in
which the people believe in a juvenile
court it is in Denver"
This lecture will deal with the remark
sable work of this court and it promises
to be an unusual treat for St. Johnsbury
people, The time set is s. 80 in order not
to interfere with the meetings in celebra-
tion of Good Friday. This night was the
only night available in the speakers New
England trip, and the arrangement was
made after consulting with the local
pastors. AS one pastor says, "The i'd
dress'by Judge Lindsey on his reform
work will be as helpful and inspiring to
good things as any sermon"
A very profitable and entertaining
lecture may be confidently expected from
the man whose unique work has won
for him more than nationalreputation
