From Another Point of NeD
By c. T. S.

A Detroit husband was admiring his
wifes beautiful hair, few days after
their marriaro when her wig fell off. He
testified in - rec court yesterday that
he has not seen her since. Suggesting
that she is still under cover.

Let the People

Put the cvssss on Record

To the Editor II The T:mes:
One possible accomplishment OF
Mr.. Ford's peace mission Will be to
put those who would viciously keep
up this war on record.
In the lamented PinSree's time.
when the selfseekers In the city
council tried to hold up and defeat
measures he was seeking to get in
the peoples interests, he always In
sisted on vote on the measure. he
used TO say, Put the cusses on rec

Now there Ii a little doubt that
this gathering or peace-loving and
warhating humanitarians, gathered
In an unbiased and unprejudiceo
conference, can and will propose
some plan which these warning ma.
tions can at least consider. And II
the plan proposed II fair and rea.
sorable. they will at least put the
knockers OF IL on record, and II
there Is any reason In their protests
or objections. these peace advocates
can revise their plans 10 eliminate
them. But II the knockers repre-
sent a land and trade-grabbing lot
OF exploiters, they will at least be
put Oh record, and the rest OF the
world can then determine whether
they will continue to pay the fiddler
for the continuance OF this war
dance. I. for one. say God speed

Oscar II. b&t us at least put the

PRIDE
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane)

Pride is the stupidest of human per-
versions.
Self-esteem is essential; but in the
wise man il is made beautiful by sin
cere humility, while in the fool 1t Is
hardened and uglihed by ignorance.
Pride has as many forms as the devil.
In each it apes some virtue--as does the
devil also.
Much that we call patriotism is dis
eased national egotism. 1t is not patriot
ism that leads men to shoot those of an
other county; il is vicious sell f-conceit.
Whoever despises another is an ego
tist. If we seek to understand those we
regulate or Judge them. we shall love
everybody, even criminals.
The first business of a judge, a preach
er or a parent is to understand. This
cannot be done without humility.
The prime trait of gentleman is that
he does not have keen sense of his
deserts. The man who thinks he de-
serves the devotion of good woman,
the alteration of children, and the loyalty
of friends. ought to be kicked, as r. L.
Stevenson said. A real man is surprised
constantly and grateful for all proofs OF
love.
The fanatic Is a person wholly drunk
with pride of opinion. 1t is wrong to
call him a man Of faith, for no one can
have faith who is not willing to hear the
other side.
The cheapest form of virtue is that
which loves to talk of itself. 1t is also
suspicious. :,
One who is always prating Of purity
may we'll be suspected Of inwardly lean
ing bit toward uncleanness. The bully
is coward at heart.
It is hard to be envied and criticised,
but it is worse to be universally praised
Few men can stand praise without be-
coming vain and self-centered.
A real man gives himself out to be
lust what he is. A proud man is a liar,
for he wants to be esteemed for more
than he is.
Pride is the one thing, more than
all others. that offends people. Nobody
sympathizes with proud man. Every
body instnctively wants to take him
down a peg. He is ridiculous. Every
body laughs when he stubs his toe.
Pessimism is form of pride. 1t is
usually held by persons Of disordered
lives. Pessimism is the religion OF the
underworld 1t is always. in whoever
manifests it, a symptom of spiritual dirt.
The proverb says that pride goeth be-
fore fall. That is because pride IS
stupid. it is an offensive form OF mania,
the man who has it is approaching a
downfall. LAS son as God forsakes u.s.,
saws Carl Hilty, "our own heart Is ni'eu up.
when we become conscious OF fault ana are
allied with humility that fault Is not noticeable
10 others; but faults leap in the eyes OF our
friends when our own pride refuses to see them.

Exercise helps TO relieve the con

APoem a Day
WINTER NIGHTS.

WINTER NIGHTS.
Now winter nights enlarge
The number OF their hours:
And clouds their storms discharge
Upon the airy towers.
Let now the chimneys blaze
And cups o'erfow with wine,
Let wen-tuned words amaze
With harmony divine,
Now yellow waNen lights
Shall wait on honey love,
While youthful revelr, masque and
courtly sights.
Sleeps leaden spells remove
This time doth well dispense
With lovers long discourse.
Much speech hath some defense,
Though beauty no remorse.
All do not all things well;
Some measures comely tread.
Some knotted riddles tell.
Some poems smoothly read.
The summer hath his joys.
And winter his delights:
Though love and all his pleasures
are hut toys,
They shorten tedious nights.

Right here in Michigan, Judge Swann's
plan, if accepted, would mean stroke of
economy and tremendous saving
enough of saving to insure us for all
time against condition such as exists
today in our treasury, which is all but
empty.
The cost of maintenance in the oper-
alton of our courts is heavy burden up
on the taxpayer, but the fact is of little
concern to the scallawag or to the law
yers who are defending the scallawag
through the employment of the thou
sand and one tricks they know for bring
ing about delay. which is always the
choice of the guilty.
The taxpayer settles when weeks are
consumed in getting a jury that is salts
factory to a Jail bird with record yard
long.
Incidentally the pay of judges, prose-
cutors, clerks and court officials goes on
while the dockets and the jails are be-
coming congested.
In the civil courts, this mass of legal
verbiage is costly not only to the tax
payer but to the poor litigant, waiting for
justice against the rich man who has en-
croached upon his rights or the corpora
tion that has crippled him for life.
Why not the simplified code that Judge
Swami suggests?
Why not the acceleration of justice it
would mean?
Why not make the law understandable
and its meaning unmistakable this side of
the United States supreme court?
And even when interpreted by the
judges of this, OUR HIGHEST court, we
are left to guess whether its real mean
ing is embodied in the majority or the
dissep'; ,ion.
Why not a reform in the wording of
law that would permit of only ONE in
depreciation, and why not refrom that
would speed up procedure and that would
put every man and every state on an
even footing in the courts of justice?

a defendant might be tried, not for one

but for several contemporaneous occur

The district attorney-elect has made a
suggestion which should have the atten-
ton of the nation.
II would be fine thing if action could
be taken simultaneously in all of the
states toward the simplifying of our laws
and the speeding up of our courts.
English, instead of a mass Of legal
verbiage," is the very thing we need to
insure justice for all concerned and to
safeguard life and property which is the
fundamental purpose of the law.
In this day, however, it has come to be
altogether too complex, too pliable, too
easily twisted and turned into technical
tiles. and can be too easily made to serve
the ends of the very offenders against so
eiety it is intended to reach.
To this mass of legal verbiage is
chargeable the certainty of an appeal and
all the loopholes for escape appeal affords
for the rich man, while the poor man.
who has not the money to appeal, goes
to prison or loses his property.
