GREATEST TEMPERANCE
IN THE Wn


REFERRING to Russia's move
ment in the direction Of Prohibition.
the New York World, which opposes
Prohibition in this country, editor
tally says:
"f the manufacture, sale and con-
sumption Of whisky and all 4hardr'
liquor were suddenly stopped In the
United States-if the country's 2,3c0
distilleries were put out of business
by a stroke of the pen and the Gov
ernment's income of S163S79,342

Of things approximately resembling
that brought about in Russia By the
abolition of the vodka traffic. Yet
even this parallel does not fully rep
resent the revolution In Rugsia's
drinking habits whereby 10000, 900
persons are affected at an annual
cost to the Government Of $500 O0,-
900 IN revenue.
Doubtless no more heroic reform
measure was ever introduced BY n
Government. 1t has remained for the
absolute monarchy whose name is
synonymous with oppression, but
which yet anticipated our own free
nation in ~liberating the serf, to give
force to what is altogether the most
remarkable temperance movement
in the worlds history. And a temper
anee movement it truly is, not prohi-
biton as it is commonly called, for
the restrictive order applies only 10
the stronger alcoholic liquors and
does not bar beer and wines.
Fully as remarkable as the re-
form itself is the agency by which it
was accomplished. It is mainly to
the personal efforts Of a man Of
peasant birth, a house painter by
trade and now a millionaire humani-
tartan, Michael Dimitrovitch Tchel-
isheff, that Russia is relieved Of the
curse Of vodka" AS village council

Mexico for years has Dragged about
its fine saddle horses and beautiful
women. Why forget u babies?
Did you know that out of the ~
entries in the Better Baby contest,
Round Up Week, only two Of the com
ing generation pointed less than 90
per cent? Not only that, but Is of
that number made 96 per cent or
more and most of those that fell be-
iow this. were scored against he
cause of a cold or some other small
ailment purely temporary. Taking
this as an average for the county, we
really have some Better Babies"
Fine horses and beautiful women
of course, we are proud of them, but
still finer men and more beautiful
women as well as magnificent sad
dlers is to be our boast in the future.

baby crows, as the family Bible, is do

human stock of Audrain County.
The other day one mother, who has
three children, said she had tried to
raise her little ones by Holt but
sometimes it seemed as if she were
raising them "~by-golly."
The Ledger has always believed In
babies-especially better and pretty
babies. At every Mexico Fair for the
past SO years the management has Of

NEW sCALEs FOR JUSTICE

NEW SCALES FOk JUSTICE
jefferson City. Dec 1.-The com
mission of twenty-four lawyers ap-
pointed by Governor Major to revise
the civil and criminal codes, and of
which Judge Elijah Robinson of Kan
sas City is chairman, will make its
final report to the governor this
week. This report will provide for
the introduction in the legislature of
fifteen bills. One of these measures
will amend los sections of the Grim
inal code.
In the civil code there are ten new
sections making the disbarment laws
more drastic and enforceable.
Would Disregard Errors in Pleadings
One of the principal recommends
tons for changes in the civil code re-
quires the trial court to disregard err
rors in pleadings which do not affect
the substantial rights of parties and
prohibits reversals on account of such
errors, and to allow pleadings to be
amended at any time with a view to
accomplishing substantial justice.
All writs must be returnable to a
day certain, and the limit is twenty
days. Demurrers and separate spe-
cial pleading are abolished. Appeals
from circuit courts are limited to
amounts a~ggregating more than
500, save on suits for taxes or where
constitutional questions are involved.
In default divorce cases the judge
may appoint some person to injure
into the good faith of parties.
Statutes cannot be held invalid or
limited because of conflict with COM
mon law.
1t is stated that one proposed
change in the criminal code will save
the state one hundred thousand dollars
annually in criminal costs. 1t reduces
the challenges in criminal cases from
thirty-five to twelve, equally divid-
ed, and in felony cases allows the
state and the defendant four challeng
es each.
Defendants who go on the stand
in their own behalf shall be subject
to cross-examination.
Bar TO Frivolous Errors.
Juries in capital cases who are pre-
JUDGED against the death penalty may
serve when the state consents.
An information may be substituted
for a defective Indictment at any
stage of trial if the same does not oc-
casion death.
Agents of corporations may be
compelled to testify against them.
No criminal case shall be reversed
except for material and substantial
errors. Because the record does not
show that the defendant was not
duly arraigned or the jury sworn,
shall not be sufficient ground for re-
versal.
1t is recommended that the su-
preme court commission be continued
and that the salaries of the judiciary
be increased and the judges of the
appellate courts all paid the same
salaries.
