JUDGE SPEER BARS TERM "HIGGER".

There was quite a tiff in the United
States district court for the southern dis
trict of Georgia recently between Judge
Emory Speer and one of the leading MEM
beers of the Georgia bar, who was recently
elected attorney general for the state. This
lawyer in arguing case made use of the
term "nigger" SO often that Judge Speer
finally expressed his disapproval of such
terms of degradation as unworthy of
great court of justice. The lawyer holly
retorted that he knew his rights and would
not be bulldozed. The judge replied that
he also knew the rights of the court and
would see that they were respected. He
said he did not believe "the American ju-
dietary will tolerate the use of such
language by gentleman who, as condi-
ton to his admission to the bar, has sworn
to support the constitution and the laws of
the United States The lawyer did not
attempt to press the matter farther.-Path-
finder.

SURGERY AND CRIME.

Surgical treatment to turn a confirmed
criminal into a useful citizen received
bad setback in case where a great appar-
ent change after such an operation led to
lease was followed by series of burglares
which necessitated his return to durance
vile. Perhaps one of the reforms to come
will be the better protection of society
from theory and experiment connected with
the criminal classes. So far the experiments
made to prove that morality is merely
matter of physiology have not been bril-
liantly successful baltimore American.

ARE YOU A SHIRKER?

Don't be the sort of person who
is always ready to lay the blame of
whatever goes wrong on somebody
else. There is lot of Sinking in
the world, but the Sinking of ones
share of the blame for mistakes or
mishaps is the worst there is.
Some of us are mighty clever in
getting clear of blame, and have a
flow of eloquence when it comes to
proving that it is some one else's
fault that is little short of marvel
Gus. You've seen the man, gentle
reader, and perhaps you thought
you knew him, who was always in
the right, no matter whether it was
politics, religion, education, farm
ing, domestic science or what not;
his ideas and predictions are always
right except when they are wrong
and, then it is somebody else's
fault. We say you've seen him.
for he inhabits these and other parts.
Never admitted mistake in his
life, In fact never made one in his
estimation. And in this man
philosophy, how greatly wrong is
the old saying that right is right,
and wrong is wrong" how much
better it would read to have it say,
right is right, and when Pm in the
wrong, it's always right" Now
none of us are perfect. We all
have faults, but to be forever put
ting ourselves in the right and the
other fellow in the wrong is a GER
tain method of getting ourselves
just naturally disliked. There is
something fine about admitting in
stantly when you have been at
fault that arouses admiration. The
person who takes their share of the
blame is going to be popular with a
popularity that won't wear thin
with time, and at the same time have
the consciousness of knowing
that they have been honest with
their fellow-man and with them
selves, the latter of which is worth
more to the honest man than all the

GAIN NOTHING BY BEING SUSPICIOUS.

Do not go through life on your guard
against unkind tricks to be played you by
some unseen power. Do not act as if you
expected fate to betray you, if you did not
keep your eyes open. We get the best
from this world by expecting the best. If
we accept both lifes hard things and its
blessings, as opportunities, chances for de-
veloping what is best in us, we are on the
way to get the best out of it. We gain no
more from being suspicious of life than we
do from being suspicious of those around

Il would have flowers, pets and

teachings of schools. The outdoor
work of the farm, the training of
the shop and the home life of the
cottage.
Don't herd them together like so
many cattle in jails and peniten-
tiaries, but give them what God in
tended them to have, the birds and
flowers. The free pure air of the
field and forest, and the unstinted
light of God Almighty's eternal
sun. They do not need iron bars,
stone walls, locks and cells, give
them love and light. That is what
the state has failed to do. We have
no remedy.
We know the causes and condi-
tons that surround this problem.
What we as an association demand
is an adequate remedy for this evil.
Let the state appropriate sufficient
funds to handle this problem for
the reclamation of the children and
for the protection of society.-Fort

THE WINNING QUALITIES

Somewhere in you there are the
winning qualities. Sometime they
will come out. Somewhere you
will feel the surge of inspiration
and you will act the noblest scene
of your life. Are you preparing
now for the great time for the
momentous moment? Every min
ute, every hour, every day, counts
for or against you. You can waste
your winning qualities, you can
save them, or make them so strong
that they will make you invinci-
BILE.
Use, what you have, my friend,
use every ounce of it-all for a
high purpose. Making a home is a
high purpose. Making another
soul happy is high purpose.
Choose your purpose and use your
winning qualities. Don't go every
where, or nowhere somewhere
and you will make your dream
come true.
You must find the main issue and
you must strike in time. If you
are brave you have the most pow
erful of all the winning qualities.
You may not be brilliant or edu-
Gated; but brave soul seldom fails.
You may be homely in face or form;
but if you are brave something
more magnetic and attractive than
mere beauty will grow in your
physical appearance. You may be

COMMISSION PLAN
Continued From PAGE one

readily corrected by transfer. Men in
one institution will advance or retrograde,
SO that they may more properly be placed
in another, but this fact would not cons,i-
tute problem as it now does in so many
states.
AS one who has spent more than twelve
years in direct dealings with delinquents
ian exhausting work from which he ex-
poets to soon retire), and who has learned
the backwardness of the art of penology
and who has some appreciation of the mis-
cries of the wrong doer and of the rights of
society, l freely declare that the result of
my observation and reflection as an officer
of the court and as a warden, is that some
system akin to what is outlined above is
the only thing that seems to me to promise
well IN the matter of terminating the act
i've career of the professional criminal, dis
couraglng the coming of foreign criminals,
properly disposing of recidivists, para
noiacs and other corrupting and menacing
incompetents and doing justice and giving
necessary aid and encouragement to those
who appear to carry credit of virtue or
merit above what may be charged against
them.
1t has been urged that this plain is rev.
olutionary and that its adoption and en-
forcement will meet with constitutional OBJ
stacles. Let it be admitted that it is rev.
olutionary, but at the same time let it be
proclaimed that the present system is not
success and that we are looking for better
things. When constitutional questions
arise they must be dealt with in the differ
ent jurisdictions. They are not for dis
cussion today. In some states they may
be readily overcome and in other states
more pains and patience will be required.
Movements of this kind are not quickly
brought to a consummation. Another
objection is that the judges have been men
of such quality that the people repose sing
ular trust in the integrity and ability of the
courts and would not be content to have
the powers of commission exercised by
others tnan Judges. his dlfhculty, which
may be more apparent than real, could be
met by provision that the members of
the commission, or some of them, should be
appointed from the judicial officers with a
salary which together with the importance
of their new work would make the service
attractive to those whose humanitaranism
is peculiarly controlling.
AS matter of fact, the proposed plan
to some extent is now in operation, though
the commission may bear name not clear
ly indicating its duty and authority, and
though it operates under needless and awk-
ward limitations and is generally made up
of men who are charged with too much
other work to permit them to give the per-
sonal attention and service to their wards
that would accomplish the most good.
