old church was removed and the pres

the picture, which represents the Last

has been found in Rockville, Mont

John Gasaway, who received it from

picture is being sought out. to learn
whether it is still the property of the
church and was merely deposited with

LITTLE BRAIN WAVES

Never interrupt a man when he
prays, or curses, or kisses.
Only foolish woman ever tries to
reform a man by roasting him.
Don't marry a saint. They are bet
ter to watch than to live with.
There is one good point about big
troubles-they eat up little ones.
A woman will risk an interview at
an unreasonable hour, but not in an
unreasonable frock.
A good memory is often a great
help; but knowing just when to for
get things counts for more.
A dinner is not so much an oppOr-
tunity of pleasing your friends as of
airing your own magnificence.
A woman never feels comfortable
in masculine garb, because it will
stay on without being pinned.
Marriage is not failure simply be-
cause a wife here and there gets a
marmalade pot thrown at her head.
When in doubt for an argument
turn to statistics. They sound wise,
and very few people will do the arith-
metic necessary to contradict you.
Women are jealous creatures; they
are even jealous of their own noses,
as any powder-puff will testify, for
no woman likes her nose to shine
in society.

DISREGARD FOR LAW
Attorney Declares United States
Leads in Crime
President of illinois Bar Association
Points to Increase in Homicldes
Ia America and Refers at
Length to LynchIngs-

Chfcago.-The United States Is most
aawless Of the civilized nations; it's
homicide rate is growing faster than
that of any other land; lynching is
americas own peculiar plague, and
TO wipe 1t out should be made the
first business OF the country.
This Indictment OF the United States
as holder OF the international record
for deeds OF violence was uttered by
Robert McMurdy, president of the ILL
noas State Bar association, in opening
the annual convention Of that organt
cation at the Hotel La Sale.
AT the outset" said Mr.. McMurdy,
we must admit that the inhabitants
OF the United States are the most law
less OF all civilized peoples.
Andrew D. White tells us that
homicide Is the most rapidly growing
of serious crimes in this country, and
that 1t is increasing more rapidly here
than In any other land Four years
ago he gave to the world some figures
covering an eight-year period. He
found the number Of murders a year
per million population to be: Canada,
3; Germany, As; England and Wales,
1911; France, 1915; Belgium, Is;
United States, over 12S.
THE latest official figures at hand
(1o12) give the number of homicides
in London as Sc. During the same
year In Chicago they reached .231. II
the total for Chicago were figured to
correspond with the population the
record would read: London, Sc; Chi
'cago, 693. Moreover, Chicago by no
means heads the murder list OF Ameri-
can cities"
Taking up the subject OF lynching,
Mr.. McMurdy submitted figures show
ing that during 80 years the number
fynched In the United States has
reached total OF 2,99S, an average Of
one every three days. In the last ten
years the yearly average has been re-
duced to r.
Turning to disregard for law, other
than that connected with murder, Mr..
McMurdy reviewed a long list of In
ztances-the revelations OF political
corruption that made Adams county,
Ohio, notorious, the judicial reputa-
ton OF Denver, the lawlessness of the
police. the defiance of law by mine
owners at Calumet, violations of law
by labor, perjury as a companion Of
divorce suits, evasion of customs by
best citizens" breaking of speed
laws, and many others.
''The annual cost OF crime in the
United States" he said, lis much
greater than our national debt"
Methods of law administration that
have been outgrown through the
change in social and industrial condi-
lions were dwelt upon by John B.
Winslow, chief justice of the Wiscon-
sin supreme court. He described a
long list of 'absurdities in the law"
through which cases are delayed, JUS
tice miscarries and criminals are en-
abled 10 escape.

New York.-William Jennings Bry-

building on "The New Era" He re-

situation and the mediation proceed
ings. The secretary of state arrived
late and spoke less than one hour. He
was preceded as speaker by William
G. Redfield, secretary of commerce,
who quickly yielded the floor to. Score
tary Bryan.
Toward the close of his address Sec
rotary Bryan referred to his pacific
policies and to the situation in Mex
leo. In the new era, which is being
ushered into the world, he said, and
which is evidenced by a general ad-
vance in popular education, in popu-
lar government and in a more equi-
table distribution of the burdens Of
government in all countries, the gov
ernments in power will resort more
and more to reason, and less and less
to force.
Mediation is just now being at
tempted in a question affecting the
United States" continued Mr.. Bryan.
'The representatives of the three lead
ing republics Of Latin-America have
rendered their good offices to see II
peace cannot be restored in Mexico.
The president quickly accepted their
good Offices.
Il thank God that we have a presi-
dent who hopes that mediation will
succeed. He is in sympathy with those
efforts and trusts that they will be
successful and that the nations honor
will be maintained and the welfare Of
Mexico conserved.
