true, pure and honest, irrespective Of
religion.
Are these Americans, the men, be
they Jews or others, who grind out
the very life blood in sweatshOps Of
men, women and children all because
of greed for gOld?" What about
the worker who shirks his part of the
work and is always trying to shove
it over on to the other fellow?
How about the man or woman who
develops a child into a drunkard by
continually putting the glass of beer
to the infants lips to drink? Then
there is the man who makes home
life disagreeable, like the woman who
carries gossip into the home, and
won't do this or that because the
"other woman said eff l were in your
place I wouldn't do it, no stree"
What about those who advertise
SIS suits of clothes, worth SGT, who
sell at wholesale prices, goods that
you can get elsewhere for the same
money at retail, who placard the city
with posters showing a man going to
choke a woman, and choking her on
another poster, who place vulgar or
suggestive postcards in their win
dows, likewise those who print them.
These are just a few offshoOts as
it were. Many more could be brought
forth suggesting crime and deceit, in
fact, training criminals. Would such
men or women be AMERICANS?
Not if an American is one who stands
for truth and justice, and that is what
an American stands for. Many there
are who are Americans in name, but
not by nature. Right wrongs no

LETTERS TO EDITOR
JUDGES OFF THE TRACK
Editor Day Book:-Courts were
originally supposed to be established
for the purpose of dispensing justice.
OF late years, too many of our judges
seem to be Iaboring under the deu-
sion that the dispensing of justice is
a mere incident, instead of the main
purpose, of courts.
That process of mental manufac-
turing which consists in keeping bold
verbal legal propositions consistent
with each other seems to be their
idea and ideals of justice; and what
ever happens to be ground out by this
method, no matter how it looks or
smells, is justice with them.
President Wilson in his address of
welcome to the American Bar Asso-
citation rendered the country a great
service by punctUTing that notion. He
insisted that lawyers and judges were
custodians not merely of commands,
but of the spirit of righteousness,
which he believed could be translated
into action and into ordinance.
Brother Wilson is by no means
alone in that belief. The millions of
American citizens are still unaware
that there has been a wide departure
from that elementary proposition,
upon which we all supposed our
courts were founded and maintained.
The fact is the mental gymnastics
Of many judges, utterly stripped of
anything savoring of justice, has so
Overlaid with a covering Of legaIism
the elementary principles enunciated
by the president, that they sound like
