The game witnessed by Weightman
ton on New York territory, the score
being to 1. He says he was lucky
in securing a fairly good seat, and
was able to watch the game in good
shape. There were about $4,000 peo
pie out, he said.
They played a good game-too
good a game" he said. 1T is so
good that it keeps one on edge all

Weightman said, responding to greet
ings. 81 enjoyed the trip, but I am

WANTS TIGHTER LAW.
american Criminal Procedure Needs
Revision. Carter Harrison Says.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Mayor Carter H.
Harrison. whose father was assassi-
mated while chief executive of the city,
advocated last night general over
hauling of American criminal proce-
dure while commenting on the attack
made on Col. Roosevelt Monday night.
1T is an outrage to allow a man
to get off with a small fine when he is
arrested for carrying a weapon" said
the mayor. He should be given the
extreme penalty. LoOseness of law is
probably one of the contributing ele-
ments which are measured by the
would-be assassin. l remember when
my father was assassinated, papers all
over the country were full of threats
against public officials but they ceased
when it was known the slayer was to
be punished by death.
Take our own criminal court as an
example. Lately when women are ac-
cused of murder, it seems almost i'm
possible to get a conviction. An entire
Cverhauling of criminal procedure and
Il stricter enforcement is what is need
ed in my opinion

Blackmar Says Officers Should

GERS to four years in place of the
two-year plan is the latest reform in
the state system of government pro-
posed by F. w. Blackmar. professor
of sociology and economics of the
University of Kansas
The election of state and county
officers every four years instead OF
every two years is the most needed
reform in practical politics of today,
declared Professor Blackmar. Inc
following are the reasons for it:
First, it is necessary as a safe
guard to the primary which throws
the responsibility of nomination of
officers upon the people. As now
practically two elections every two
years or ar average of one election
every year. This lays a continuous
burden upon voters who must be
looking all the time for new SER
wants of the public.
Present System Wrongs Officials.
Second, it is an excessive burden
upon those running for office. taking
a large amount of their time which
belongs to the state and a large
amount of their own money in order
TO insure their continuance in office.

courage a certain class of business
men who would make first class Of
ficers, but are not willing to spend
their time and money for the sake of
holding a political office that pays
a small revenue.
Fourth, the changes of member
ship from session to session in the
legislature are so great and the ses-
ions so short that good legislation is
very difficult to obtain and sometimes
we'll nigh impossible. Members of
both houses of the legislature should
be elected every four years.

Fifth, in order to safeguard legis-

sion bills relating tC any constitutional
change in the statute law effeCting the
administration of justice. legislation
or government should be introduced
but not passed until the second ses-
sion. This would give opportunity for
all of the legislators to study these
measures for two years and would
give the people an opportunity also TO
study the proposed legislation. This
would prevent hasty and inconsiderate
legislation. No bills except for appro-
