The wide interest aroused by the revel-
atoms of Judge Lindsey's autobiography
will be deepened by the second INSTALL
ment in November Everybody's. Therein
the Judge describes the real initiation in
to municipal politics, and his first encoun-
tiers with the Beast in the Jungle. He
participates in a campaign, is appointed
to the bench, and discovers the sad plight
of the children. The pathetic conditions
that led to the establishment of the Juve-
nile Court are told with that simple
directness which makes the Judges mar
ratives so impressive; and one realizes
how bitter and powerful was the opposi-
/ ton he had to overcome to rescue even
the little ones from the powers of evil.
No one can read the eliminating incident
of this campaign-the story of Mickey
and his gang of little jail-birds, telling to
Governor Peabody and the ministers of
/ Denver the unspeakable degradations
inflicted on them in prison without shar
ing the indignation and rage of the Com
mittee and agreeing with the Governor
in his verdict, eff Lindsey is crazy, |
want my name written under his among
the crazy people" Throughout the story
one is never allowed to escape the fact
! that conditions in Denver are in one way
or another typical of conditions in other
American cities, and that whoever dares
undertake to fight for good against evil
must count in advance on having to over
come the same opposition that has made
Lindsey's life miserable.
