FATHER DOWNEY TELLS HIGHBROW LAWYERS
THEY PREVENT POOR GETTING JUSTICE

= = =
"You lawyers are responsible to
less law am sick and tired of you
up your court procedure that it is a
you have as clever a lawyer as the
Dorney, of St. GabfieI's, to the Bar A
Two hundred of Chicago's high
brow lawyers received the worst
shock of their lives at the dinner of
the Bar Association in the Hotel La
Sale.
The dinner was supposed to be a
very pleasant affair, and it was-un-
til Father Dorney took up Roose-
veltian. club and went after these
well-fed, weIl-satisfied lawyers.
Prof Percy H. Boynton, ofthe Uni
versity of Chicago, DR.. William E.
Quine, and Father Dorney had been
invited to the dinner to talk on Law
yers as Others See U.s."
Needless to remark, Boynton,
Quine and Father Dorney were sup
posed to see the lawyers very nicely.
They were expected to be slightly
sarcastic, OF. course but gentle in
their sarcasm at that.
Prof Boynton and DR.. Quine acted
up to expectations. They made nice,
polite speeches, and any satire they
INDUCED in was SO gentle it should
have been wrapped in cotton, wool.
And then Father Dorney, Whose
work among the serfs of the Beef
Trust that live back O. the yards, has
made his name household one
throughout Chicago, arose to speak.
And even before he said anything,
an uncomfortable chill ran through
the room.
The priest stood there for few
minutes taking in his prosperous
looking audience. Then he raised one
hand and pointed an accusatory fin
ger at them.

the flying boat Is the only sane vehicle
for the fight. An airboat Is the only
thing which will traverse air and water.
On this fact those who have kept pace
with the whole development Of air ma
chimes. can base an estimate of the
future.
The airboat and the safe aerobus has a
radius of action that is shorter on one
load of fuel than the colossal airship
which simply fuhls the function OF an
aerial steamer for great sustained flights
across oceans and continents. But the
smaller craft, like the airboat, will pos
sess much greater range than the auto
mobile, even with less fuel. because It's
progress through the air and Its use OF
winds to speed its flight will enable 1t to
travel faster, thus covering distance In
less time and with less expenditure OF fuel
than any train or automobile or motor
boat.
Even the colossal airship. as we recog-
nize Il In the modern Zeppelin. Is becom-
ing a hydro-airship. 1t has successfully
made landings on the North Sea and
foated for some time on the waves. That
tho tempestuous sea took more than one
hour to destroy the great marine Zeppelin
which was recently wrecked over the
North Sea IL evidence that the bigger
these structures are built the greater re-
sistance they exert against the elements.
The same progress is coming with all
types of air machines

from this fragment that the rostrum was

VOTING Ex-CONvlCTS.


oThe ex-convicts have come from many
states. in some Of which the prison SEN
tence causes no question in regard 10 the
use OF the elective franchise: II ID not
against the law for tile ex-conyict TO vote.
In New York we prohibit the ex-convict
from voting and make 1t a criminal OF
fence for him to cast his ballot Take

TO his wife and children. His Children
unmindful OF his former incarceration,

he has come from another state he

from our state he knows 1t; he de-

1t unfair, but. having already served
out his penalty for the crime, he de-
cides 10 vote. 1t will cover his record.
II will bury the past. He is urged, he Is
entreated and maybe Is paid. He regis

and so he continues. Finally, Election
Day is too short for him to cast all the
ballots from all the addresses from which
he has successfully registered and
claimed citizenship. And who will APP
prehend him? No one. II the man who
is protecting him. who is going on his

vicious line by which from 10000 to $1,000
illegal votes are pushed into the ballot
boxes and sway an election in this great

official and false one substituted for his
own. The sublime contentment Of the
high hated gentleman with the gold
headed cane who walks out and satisfies
himself that he has voted according to
the dictates Of his own conscience would

is only one of the many instances where

only assurance of successful voting to the
honestly intended voter"

which they hoped to settle the affairs OF
the empire"
It was fitting that the old building with
It's historical associations, should be put
in a condition for preservation as relic,
for as one Of unique group of buildings
Il occupies a big niche In American his
tory. For nearly hundred years IL had
served as a courthouse and had been
changed internally so greatly that the
fudge could forget that it had ever served
any other purpose. New partitions and
stairways had been put In and old gall
leries, decorations and platforms removed.
Some OF the fireplaces and the Franklin
stoves, about which the legislators used 10
gather, with coat tails spread apart as
they warmed themselves on a chilly morn
ing and talked over affairs OF state or
gossiped, had disappeared. How should 1t
be restored? The earliest attempt was
made in 1896, but II is generally conceded
that the Senate chamber. az II came out
OF the hands OF the restorers at that time,
did not closely resemble the room In which
that sedate and august body dehberateo

The American Institute OF Architects
has adopted the idea that the way to re-
store old buildings is to restore them. not
make architectural gems out Of them.
Through the active interest Of the wife OF
Provost Harrison, of the University of
PENNSYLVANIA, and Mrs. Samuel Chew and
others I'm 1902 a committee was appointed
by the Philadelphia Chapter of the Amer
lean Institute OF Architects to make
survey OF the building with view to re-
storing IL to the condition in which 1t APP
peared when Washington made his fare
well address within its walls.
A painstaking and thorough study oil
the building from every angle was made
and plans prepared. From that time until
1911 efforts were put forth to have the
city furnish funds for the work, the COM
mittee of architects offering to give their
services without cost In October that
year the city finally undertook the work.
and a contract involving the expenditure
OF $50 600 was entered into with the archi-
tects. Their work is now completed; the
architects have contributed the time in

which makes a detective successful. The
architects had to put two and two to-

dcnce which they secured. They read old
letters, ransacked newspaper files and
books and examined old insurance pol
