Chicago, July 27.-Police Inspector

with the west side levee graft" inves-

the case of Detective Sergeant Jeremi-
an Griffin, who is under indictment on
the charge of having accepted bride

Detective Griffin's attorney, John
Tyrrel, was not in court when the de-
tective was arraigned, and the officer
acted as his own attorney, and request
ed a continuance similar to that in the
cases against his superior. Mr.. Tyrrel
appeared a few minutes later, and
agreed that Sept. was satisfactory
The graft probe was resumed by
the grand jury, and it is expected that
another indictment against Inspector
Mccain will be returned on addition

by new witnesses.

moved from the call the cases against
Louis and julius Frank, May Parker,
Max Plummer and others who gave
testimony against Mccain, announcing
that they would be reinstated on the
call after the trial Of the inspector.
The courtroom and corridors were
crowded when the case against the in
spector and detective were called, and
many friends of the Inspector crowded
forward to shake hands with him. Nc
Cam bore himself calmly and had lit.
tie to say except to assure his friends
that he would prove himself innocent
of the charges against him.

ON THE TRAIL OF GARRISON
Boy Saw Missing Man kneeling by
the Roadside in Prayer.

Kenosha, Wis, July 26.-An un-
kempt man, without hat or coat, an
swering description of Judge Jo-
seph r. Clarkson, was seen by al boy
kneeling by the roadside leading into
the woods just west of Winnetka. This
fact has caused the friends OF the
missing Kenosha jurist to believe they
are ON the right track and the search
for him has been redoubled.
The man had his eyes raised to
heaven and seemed to be mumbling a
prayer. His actions so frightened the
boy that he fed to his home. When
he returned with his mother the man
had disappeared.

qualities will be remembered today" continues
THE Press" The Inquirer" which was always
friendly to Durham remarks that he left more

will ever know what this meant TO Durham or

PUBLIC OPINION AND LAW.

DR. Kirchwey of Columbia University Law
School at last weeks meeting of the National
Civic Federation's committee on uniform legisla-
ton made an interesting suggestion concerning
the relationship, perhaps the non-relationship.
between public opinion and law. The law, he
reminded his hearers is al bottom the formal
expression Of the public opinion Of the COM
munity. and we must therefore expect 10 find
differing laws and institutions. But then, he i'm
mediatey added. no one can pretend that the
confusion and diversity Of our American juris-
prudence have any such justification.
Standing thus without his subsequent re-
marks his statement would seem 10 be self-con-
Trajectory, and it is in that contradiction that
the valuable suggestion is conveyed. 1t is an
obvious fact of record that the laws of our forty
six states do greatly differ. some Of them-as
those concerning marriage and divorce-on mat
tiers directly involving important moral prin-
ciples Yet il is scarcely less obvious that there
are no such differences among the states in pub
lie opinion. In one state. for exampo, no divorce
is granted for any cause. while in the very pext
state it is granted for more than half n dozen
causes. and in a third in the same section of the
country it is granted for any cause which the
court may deem sufficient: yet we should be sur
prised TO find any material differences among
those states in popular regard for the sanctity
OF the marriage tie.
Since then. such marked differences in laws
exist, and since commensurate differences in
public opinion cannot be conceded, We must con
clude that the original premise-that law is the
expression Of public opinions not after ALL
the axiom which il is often esteemed to be. This
indeed practically suggested by DR. kirch-
wey himself little later in his remarks. when
he urged the need Of "an aroused public opinion
which should support official agencies and make
them effective for the harmonZing Of laws. That
can only mean OF course. that some-probaby
many-of our laws are not expressions Of public
opinion, at least OF present public opinion, and
that if public opinion were aroused to express
itself it would compel their amendment or re
peal.
And that must believe to be the true state
ment Of the case. There are some laws which
at the time Of their enactment were accurate
expressions of public opinion. But public Olin-
ion has changed, and has neglected 70 make the
! laws change with it, There are other laws
which never did express public opinion, but
which were enacted and have been retained on
the statute book through the Indifference of
iblic opinion which is at heart hostile TO them
or through its neglect or its inability 10 assert
itself with effective expression. The reproach
has often been uttered that we are law-break-
ing nation. At least must plead guilty TO too
light regard for law and 70 too little iDsstence
upon fits uniformly being what in theory it IS
and what in fact it should be-the formal
preston of enlightened public opinion.

PARCELS POST PROBLEMS.

The persistence or the frequent renewal of pro-
posals 10 that end tends to support a belief that
we shall one of these days the establish
Inent of a comprehensive parcels post system in
this country. Generally speaking. whatever
facilitates trade benefits the community, and it
is obvious that the lowering Of the cost Of
transportation, especially if coupled with an
increase IF its promptness and accuracy. would
materially facilitate and promote trade; and
what room there is for such lowering OF cost
may readily he perceived.
Let rs suppose that somebody living in the
suburbs Of New York wishes to have some
article of merchandise sent TO him from this
city and that he can not or does not procure 1t
at one of the great department stores which
make free rural deliveries or that he lives be-
yond the bounds of such delivery. If the article
when packed weighs more than four pounds he
cannot have it sent by mail at all, but must
get II by express although he may be some
miles from an express office, and although the
minimum express charge of % or 80 cents may
he altogether dsproportouate to the value of
the goods r. however it weighs four pounds
and no more. he has a choice between getting
II by express for % or 80 cents, and perhaps
having to 60 Il long way to the office for 1t,
and getting it brought to his door by mail at
cost of GA cents. It certainly cannot be main
tained that either of these processes is IDEAL or
even fairly satisfactory. OF course, if the pack
age is of considerable value, either the so cents
or the "a cents may not seem a heavy charge
upon it. But to pay 64 cents for carriage of 20
cents worth of goods would seem to the aver
q age thrifty American q waste of money.
Yet. however desirable change in the system
may be- ii would be mistake to suppose Ii can
he easily made On the contrary, the problem
is involved and complex. Since the government
has from the beginning engaged in the business
of a common carrier, may perhaps assume
2s granted the propriety Of its extending lts
operations in that direction TO any degree when
may he compatible with its own fiscal welfare
! and with the public good; though 1t might be
that the public good would not be altogether
promoted by a complete disregard of the in
terests OF existing tTansportati ton systems.
Equity requires, too. the maintenance Of Impair
tialitv toward mercantile eSta bishments of
varying kinds 1t would not be well 10 favor
one type of tradesman at the expense OF an
other Again. there is the serious question of
