The man who grOwls IS merely q mega

are not going right. but he hasn't
any idea Of trying to do anything

MORE THAN FOOT BALL At

fact that the foot ball team is usually

Such deductions are hardly in line
with the true state of things - they

There are over 1 900 Indians enrolled

WHAT WE MOST NEED.

The condition to be contended fol-
in this country is fundamental and
thorough-going honesty.
The dread of oil wise men is that
the individuals of the nation will be.
come generally corrupt.
The man who picks q pocket, the
man who lCafs on his job, the man who
puts bad material in his work, the
man who robs the cash drawer, the
man who gives short weight, the man
who steals ride on the cars. the man
who holds up = train. the man who
misapplies hank money, the man who
buys or sells yote, the man who dis
torts news, the man who robs . client,
the man who advocates what he does
not believe, the man who changes his
opinions 70 catch votes-all of these
belong 10 the same breed Of cattle.
All such are crooks.
When the nation becomes Q nation
Of crooks then . democratic govern
ment will be out Of the question and .
monarchy will be inevitable. A de.
mocracy will be intollerable when in
dividual honesty no longer exists.
When our people generally are born
moral idiots the history of many other
nations will be repeated here. Politi.
cal service will be monopolized only
by grafters and thieves. Political
wisdom will be out Of fashion. Those
in power and law and justice will be
confined to the imagination of poets.
The decay Of . nation begils with
the federation of sham. When the
pretense of virtue is more popular than
the practice Of virtue, then the founda-
tons have begun to rot.
When the soldier Is judged only by
bio performance on dress parade, then

failing.
When the pretender has every

AMERICAN LAW.

AMERICAN LAW.
Does it sound Sensational to declare
that American law, to- very large
extent, makes for ipjustices The
flcb are - sensational - they sound.
The American Bar association hes I'd.
mitted it; leading judges have admit.
ted it; and President TAFT once framed
. pointed amendment that no judg.
ment civil or criminal, should be ct
aside unless it appeared afirmatively
that the error of the complaint had
resulted in miscarriage Of justice.
Americans often mourn about lynch
law. Not always do they take into
account the part played BY tho laws
delay in encouraging rough attempts
At justice. In England procedure i
swift, and punishment follows with
certainty. For seventy'hve yean, in
England. Ireland, Scotland, and the
British Colonies all over the world,

ing. We have recently pointed out
that the lawyers succeeded in beating
simplifcation in Montana. In an ID.
mirable article in the kansas City
Bar Monthly" for March, Professor
John ID. Lawson, of the University Of
Missouri, recalls the fact that when
the Missouri legislature passed . law
simplifying procedure, the supreme
court of that state upset it. Judge
Lawson believes that our civil pro-
cedure is immeasurably behind the
age, and that in criminal procedure
we have not advanced . step since the
days of Queen Elizabeth. Judge
Amidon, ofthe Federal bench, has
stated that if man has the means u
keep up the fight he can, in . ma
jority Of cases. escape punishment for
crime. Az our rules are now, the
main concern is not . search for truth.
Lawyers struggle to get errors into
the record, witnesses are bullied, and
judges are afraid. Those complicated
technicalities, which the English
judges invented long ago to protect
the individual from cruelty and op.
preston, have been retained and ex.
aggerated by us. The English threw
them away when the days Of cruelty
and oppression were At an end. An
Indictment in England now states, in
perhaps forty words of utmost sim.
plicity, that . certain crime was cum.
mitted by . certain person. We fill
pages of foolscap with most ridiculous
language, and then upset convictions
if some one of the necessary words can
be strained into q failure to observe
some minor rule. The conviction ofa
man for murder is upset because the
foreman of the jury spelled first.

because breast was spelled without
