Many attempts have been made to
Dust Judge Lindsey from the bench OF
the juvenile court since he founded that
institution fifteen years ago. To keep
his place he has been obliged several
times to seek reelection at the hands
Of the people. His court has become
famous throughout the world, and about
thirty states have modelled upon it. not
to mention at least three countries. In
twelve years Judge Lindsey had to run
at regular elections six times and be
appointed three times. In August 1918,
his political enemies, under the guise
of the Woman's Protective league, a
Denver anti.woman suffrage organiza-
ton, started fight against him ON the
ground that he had shown too much
mercy to men accused of committing
offences against girls. In November OF
the same year a committee of three men
and two women from the Denver Tax
payers association after carefully inves-
tigating declared eroundless the charge
relating to girls and another to the eff
feet that the judge had been absent from
his post too much. The basis of the
current attempt to abolish the juvenile
court has not yet been publicly enlarged
upon.

humor at times by throwing stones at
