ABOUT THOSE BOYS.

A very good friend Of his newspaper
took The editorial force TO task over an
article which lately appeared on this
page in which the assertion was made
that the boys Of the present are doing
as well as the boys Of other and earlier
days He spoke Of the boys IN the pool
halls, Of the lack OF responses TO ad-
yertise1neny OF boy wanted and
seemed to hold to the view that the
boys Of this generation lack great
deal Of the industry and spirit OF those
earlier youth Of his own time.
He Is wrong just the same, There are
some boys in the pol halls. were some

DEFENDERS OF CRIMINALS.
{Sjo1,r CITY Tribune


Before an audience made up Of coun-
Topeka, one night recently, Capt Joe
G Waters. one Of the most noted Grim
inal lawyers Of the west and one who
has been engaged in that practice for
ifty-tive years, made this announce
ment:
u am against the government no more.
The white flag l raise here is sincere.
My lips have bade goodbye to their
CULVER in a criminal case: my voice no
longer will be shaky and husky: alas.
l shall pull the tremoio stop no more,
nor will my ancient eyes fill again with
the east wind and empty their tear
ducts on the near juryman."
Then entire address was in the ma
ture Of an expose by 1nSinuation OF the
hypocrisy. dramatics and shrewd prac-
tice that are employed by the average
successful criminal lawyer. But is one
to accept at par value the assertions
of Captain Waters, "it doesn't pay
either in cash or gratitude. to defend
the prisoner before the barr" and that
is the reason given by him for abarl-
doning such practice.
He says he found that gratitude ends
with jeopardy; that few people commit
& crime that are able to pay fee; that
none OF them have rich relatives who
hunger to put up a dollar for the poor
devil who is to be tried. More import
ant rs his declaration: II have found
that few people who are anchored to
property, or who have wives or families
commit crimes or run amuck Of the
criminal Law, and that good companion
ship is as sure an immunizing anti
toxin against the commission as DR..
Friedmann's lymph dare be for ru-
berculosis.'
Captain Waters. with a tinge of
pessimism or optimism. according 10
the viewpoint. suggests that it is about
time he was quitting. There now is no
dream of happiness in expecting a
reversal Of the judgments obtained in
the lower courts The supreme court
has taken notice and sits up. 1t is
being affected by progressivism, which
has tired Of the folly and expense OF
the antiquated tweedledee of cobwebbed
court procedure. He says reversal now
is as much a lost art as malleable glass
and as extinct as the doio and the
whole brood and family Of insanities
nave bCSi4 IcASShtch W lii~ JUN pic
With an old criminal lawyer making
such a confession as this. and with
Ex-President Taft declaring that our
court procedure is disgrace, the pros
pect for reform is not altogether re-
mote. Yet one has only to look over
into the neighboring state Of Missouri,
to discover a law case involving the
value Of $50 hound dog. which was
shot because it frightened some sheep,
that has been running the ganlut OF the
courts for more than twelve years and
is not yet disposed Of. The courts Of
other states are burdened with litiga-
ton more or less Of this nature, that
should be disposed Of In short order,
but which is encouraged by lawyers and
permitted by courts as long as the con-
tending litigants have a dollar to pay
court costs and attorney fees.

ishly provided.

Just breaking the hold the old rascal
has had for the last six months. The
sight one beholds is just grand. New

there, flowers peeping at you from sun
warmed places, large fields with up
turned burrows, baby life in all AMI
NAL kingdom and a stir and hustle that
means SO much towards the mainten-
ance Of stability and prosperity the
great state of Iowa enjoys.
In southern Iowa nature is at Its
best and fully three weeks in advance
of the north part OF the state.
There are blossoms everywhere. the
fields green. the lawns as velvet car
pet and outrivaling any production OF
machinery. 1t was just grand and
stirred the heart Of the writer who
covered a wide expanse Of Iowa ter
ritory during the week. Like school
boy on Saturday or a colt. given for
the first time OF the year. the freedom
of big pasture, one bubbles over with
enthusiasm and animation. The head
is thrown back. the lungs are filled, the
eyes sparkle, the wrinkles vanish and
you are a boy again for brief period.
Beautiful Iowa. How little we appre-
ciate and how backward In repaying
the great debt OF obligation that Is pill
ing up day by day. Talk Iowa, boost,
brag and give back as much as posi-
bic in confidence and appreciation.

PAVING INSPECTORS.
Huntington HawkeyeJ

Waterloo is having trouble with an
asphalt company that put down some
Two miles of pavement, which pave
Inent did not turn out as expected or
promised There Is some 100000
worth of work that will have to be
done over and Waterloo will insist up
on having il done right. 1t seems
bit strange that Waterloo should not
nave seen to it that this work was
done right in the first place. When i
firm puts up 100000 building there
is generally an expert Of some kind
around who keeps an eye on things,
and watches the material that is put
into that structure and the way it is
put in. In the cities, inspectors are
put on paving jobs. Sometimes they
inspect. In other cases they make a
bluff at it. In most cses these al
legged inspectors have not even a faint
knowledge of the work that they are
supposed to De inspecting. They owe
their positions to little personal or
political pull. 1t is graft. pure and
simple, and the money paid them
might as well be thrown to the birds.
But it ought TO be possible to engage
men as inspectors for paving Jobs
who have a thorough knowledge Of
materials, and who know how the
work ought TO be done. how the ma
teriais are to be used In the long
run II would save the asphalt com
panies time and trouble and a lot of
money II that sort Of inspectors were
employed. In other words, If there
were an inspection that really inspects.
