gathered on ain auto trip the idea of velvet

HOLDS. EVIDENCE
is HALF PERJURY
Wayman, Cook County States
Attorney, Discusses Crime
in Courts.
SAYS HISTORY REPEATING
Addresses Delegates to Illinois Con

John E. Wayman, states attor-

evening addressed the delegates who
are attending the annual state con-
vention of the Kings Daughters. His
subject was consciousness of
Guilt; or Does Crime Pay?"
History repeats itself" said Mr..
Wayman. Perjury in our courts or
the fine art of jury fixing are the two
greatest crimes with which the peo-
pie are forced to contend. Macbeth s
reign was a reign of terror. He
achieved his office by crime. Every
criminal in public office estranges the
public from their form of govern
ment. Corruption in public office
leads to corruption in private life.
Macbeth had planned a perjured de-
Tense before he committed his crime.
Criminal Defense Largely Perjury.
Easily more than so per cent of
the evidence in the defense of GRIM
inals is perjury. If Macbeth was liv-
ing today he would buy his way into
the legislature and join the jackpot
brigade. all the while proclaiming
himself.
mo man who stays away from the
polls on moral courage, and many
men of today are following in the
path of his criminal career.
mo man who stays from the polls
on registration day has any business
complaining about corrupt govern
ment. No man who lies to get off
a jury has any right to complain if
his house is robbed. Many a man is
willing to see good government pro-
vided some one else supplies it.
Corruption If People Sleep.
Getting back to first principles we
might fill the offices with honest men
and still adhere to the representative
form of government. If the people
have not stamina and morality and
interest enough 10 see that fair play
is shown them and square mer repre-
sent them they cannot help alters

the people sleep. Poor governD7 ent

points that were raised by the defense

MONEY CAMPAIGN
BY BUSINESS men

Canvass for Rock Island
Y. M. C.. A.
DIRECTORS ARE RELIEVED
Work Heretofore Carried on BY Them
to- Be Assumed by Individuals
Interested in Cause.

Today marks the beginning of a f.
nancial campaign i'll Rock Island which
has not been widely advertised in ad-
vance. but which is one of great i'm
portance to the city. A group of bus
mess men have started out to raise the
funds needed for the maintenance of
the Y. NJ. c. A. during the current
year. 1t is proposed to raise this mon
ey in a quick campaign. lasting only
one week, and by that means 10 re
lieHe the association of financial wor-
ries for months to come.
1t is generally understood that the
association is not by any means self
supporting, and cannot be in its pres
ent building. In order to make it's
work possible there must be a fund
raised each year TO meet the deficit
arising in the conduct of its activities.
To Enlarge Work.
Heretofore the work of raising this
money has been left to the board of di-
reCtors and the secretary, but this year
a number of business men, feeling
deeply the Importance of the associa-
ton in the community, have under
taken to relieve these people of the
load. The association needs to expand
and enlarge its work very greatly in
order to meet the urgent needs of the
young men of the city, and a larger
financial backing is essential if this is
to be done.
A group of about fifteen business
men have agreed to give their time
next week. in connection with the di-
rectors of the association, to get
pledges for the amount needed. They
will call upon the people during the
next few days, and hope to receive
cordial support from those whom they
approach for contributions This is
an enterprise which should command
the support of the whole community,
as ii is a City-wide movement for char
acter building and training among boys
and young men.

If Moline could raise more than $780,
600 in a week for its young men, it
should be easy for Rock Island to put
up the comparatively small amount
needed for this purpose this fall

who is not called on. should telephone
