PREACHER-JUDGE
HAS MADE GOOD

to Attend Church-Made
Friend of Gambler.

Emporia, Kan.-When Rev. ]. H. ].
Rice, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church (Emporia's wealthiest
church) was appointed police Judge by
his friend, Mayor Bob Hamer, many of
the t~ownspeople were skeptical.
"A preacher won't know how to
handle lawbreakers," they said.
That was almost a year ago. EN-
poria's 1900 population is awaken
ing to the fact that the parson-judge
is making good" He is known as
Judge" Rice by those living in the
South end" where his court is To-
Gated, and as Reverend" Rice in the
North end" where the First Congre-
g%ational church stands.
The first prisoner who came before
Judge Rice was George Maddux, a
notorious crap shooter. The prisoner
was not Soaked" with a heavy fine.
Judge Rice asked George to tell about
himself. Since then George and the
judge have come to be good friends,
with the judge lending a helping hand
when necessary. And George has not
been arrested in nine months.
Il am not sure whether George has
reformed or not" the parson-judge
told a friend. But he has kept out
of the policies hands"
"Sure Is a Fair Judge"
The former crap shooter came to
the office of the Emporia Gazette re-
Gently to say: "The parson is sure a
fair Judge"
I'm dealing with George l followed
out my theory that the criminal class
should be disabused of the idea that
the court is their enemy" Judge Rice
explained.
Il sentenced one man to attend
church He was a church member
originally, so I thought the pastor of
his church could help him."
Judge Rice was obliged to impose
a light fine on a negro minister who
charged by a member of his
church with carrying concealed
weapons. Following the sentence
came the announcement, Court is ad-

journed." But the congregation of the
warning church present was not dis
missed until Parson Rice had deliv-
cred a forceful sermon dwelling ON
the sin of quarreling.
Here are some of the things which
have been noted especially in the con-
duct of the Emporia police court:
The police are instructed to make
arrests only when absolutely neces-
sary. Use preventive and educational
methods instead of penal.
The MAI is worth more than his
money. No special attempt is made
to secure venue by fines. More than
half the money collected under Judge
Rice has been in forfeited bonds.
Only six times in nine months have
lawyers appeared before the court for
the accused. The prosecutor is in
reality attorney for both sides.
1t is strictly a court of fact, not of
suspicion.
Paroles are given to a large per.
centage of prisoners.
Not one case has been taken on ap-
peal to a higher court.
Only three persons have been be-
fore the court nor than once.
The judge has used the $45 a month
salary he receives from the city large
ly in helping the law violators and
their families. The police courtroom
in the city hall has been newly fur
nished at a cost of 500 to Judge Rice.
Recently Judge Rice in his capacity
of pastor announced from his pulpit
that if those who had dead trees on
their property would notify him he
would send men to chop them down
for fuel. He made arrangements with
the city to haul the wood free of charge
to the homes of the men who did the
work.

Step in the Spiritual Life.

When persons have learnt to look
upon the daily course of their ordinary
life, with its duties and troubles, how
ever commonplace, as their offering
to God, and as the safest school for
themselves of perfection, they will
have made a very important step in
the spiritual life. Another step, so
simple tnat it is often despised. is
to do everything, however ordinary,
as well as it can possibly be done,
for Gods sake. A third is to be al
ways pressing forward; when a mis-
take is made, or a fault committed,
to face and admit it freely; but hav-
ing asked God to supply the deficiency
caused by our own infirmity, to go on
s~teadfastly and hopefully.-H. L. Sid
ney Lear.

The petition is very brief, covering
less than one typewriter page. In it
Thaw alleges his wife was guilty of
misconduct with Frances at 81 West
Thirty-first street, New York city, in
December, 1909, and January, 1910, and
at various other places and times. He
also declares that she deserted him in

throw light on the Identify of Frances
other than to give his name, and in the
