DR.. Ernest Wray O'Neal Monday al
ternoon at the chautauqua.

The speaker laid special emphasis
upon the Importance of physical de-
velopment, saying that the much
larger per cent of the great men and
geniuses have been those of sound
body, yet gave demonstration OF ex-
I ceptions where some great leaders
have been in poor health and gone
through great suffering in accomplish
ling a great work for the world. In
speaking of many failures that have
been made he told of the life of Lin
coin struck down by an assassin at the
time when the country could not at
ford to lose him and before he had &C.
complished a great purpose, but he
said that no man would say that the
life of Linconl was failure for he
did a work that has immortaliZed his
memory. He told of the physical
strength that enabled him to sink an
axe deeper into a rail than any man
in his part of the country and meas
uring up to what he did stands alone
among the great men of the nation.
Health is necessary to holiness and
piety and paleness have ceased to be
synonyms. 1t is said that disease is
contagious, but he says that health is
contagious. There are more microbes
fighting in your body for your health
than for your illness. A cross tempered
person has as much of deformity as
cross eyed person, and your success
in this world is just in proportion to
the number of other persons you reach
and establish relations with. You can
not get into congenial relations with
other people if your disposition is vim
egary, for men will run from you and
your life is a bitter cup if your soul is
soured and you are going around with
long face. Health, like success, is
not simply privilege, but duty. We
ought never to be sick but ought to
honor this body that God made to be
temple. Young men and women
ought to keep their bodies sweet and
strong and pure as the abiding place
of the Most High. The speaker rec
commended the christian associations
where they pay attention to the phys
l. cal development of young men and
women. He told those who have &C.
quired disease to fight their way back
to health. "You want to play and
rest on the sunny side of the street.
The sun is the chief physician" he
said.
The musical entertainment was by
the Harmony Concert company,
quartet of artists on the harp, violin,
mandolin, mandocello, guitar, flute,
piano, saxophone and xylophone.
Lawyers tinker at the law, but they
will not reform or amend it."
"The great curse of the country is in
the granting of new trials for errors
which had nothing to do with the
CASE,
These are some of the points
brought out in a strong address Mon
day evening at the chautauqua by
Judge Marcus A. Kavangh, judge OF
the superior court in Chicago. He
talked on Traitors to JUSTICE his
speech being somewhat OF an indlct--
ment against the custom of following
precedent in legal matters to the ex-
clusion of good, common sense. He
also inveighed against the refusal OF
members of the bar to put up barriers
against so many loopholes in the law.

Judge Kavanagh, but send farmers to
the legislature"
That crime was on an alarming in
crease in America was proved by the
sneaker. Last year, he said, this coun-
try has 1852 homicides, with $3.50
the year before and not less than s,OoO
year for the past ten years. In d.
rect contract to this report, Canada
has but 13 a year, England 9, Germany
and Italy, which the speaker deslg-
mated as the home of the assassin, had
but Is.
Judge Kavanagh interspersed his
talk with a number of interesting
stories of cases which had been
brought before him during his long
term on the bench all OF which served
to aptly illustrate his points. He told
how easy it is to forestall justice and
declared there were 1000 foolish tech
nicalties which could be used in be-
traying justice.
"In every other country in the civil
lized world" he said, "crime is de-
creasing. In England they opened the
court house windows and let IN the
sunlight. The bar in this country is
always opposed to such light Men

with his activities in England brought
a round of applause.
