We puffed our cigarettes in silence

man. in Senator De Longs notion.
Those who inherit . few thousand dol

to get way with small fortunes are
the ones at whom the bill is aimed.

The Devils Due

One of the most valuable citizens.
to California. is Lawyer George ID:
Collins. whom the supreme court has
Just refused TO release on habeas cor
pus.
Going OH four years ago. Collins was
convicted and sentenced for a peniten-
tiary offense, but he hasn't served a
day In the penitentiary, and there's
no certainty about this latest decis-
Ion putting him there.
Collins is valuable for two reasons
First. any student OF the law desir-
ing thorough education in the profess
sion. particularly the criminal branch
OF Il. has but to study Collins career.
Collins was not rich when first ar
raiened. He simply had brains, such
brains as any one with money can
hire. With his brains focused on
loopholes OF the statutes and court
procedure. Collins has defeated all at
tempts of the great state Of Califor-
MIA to put him at hard penal labor for
more than three years.
What's the use of sending our
youth TO law colleges, when we have
the living object lesson OF Collins on
How to Beat Justice? The aim OF
the profession seems TO be largely di-
rected toward beating Justice and Col
lins' treatise on that point is mighty
sight cheaper than supporting law
colleges.
Secondly. Collins Is valuable because
he Is showing the whole people that
their laws can be beaten, by brain
work and. as already stated, anyone
with money enough can hire the legal
brains. Hence, Collins Is a vigorous
demonstration Of the proposition that
legal Justice Is for those who have
money 20 hire n high quality of brains
only. and the people OF California will
not long stand that. Collins has been
Indlsputably demonstrating that. aside
from political and social pull the
laws trickery, its technicalities, pro-
cedure. pettifoggery, etc, are against
Justice for the common people. Such
an object lesson has more power for
reform than all the editorials. lectures
and orations that could be got of
II IS said that this last court decis-
ion settles Georges hash and that he
will now have TO don the striped suit
