"FAVORITE SONS" OF THE

(Springfeld, Mass. UniOn.)
Those big states Of the middle
west-Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
are talking quite a bit about presi-
Dental candidates these days. Each
of these states will present the name
of it's "favorite son" to the republi-
can national convention, according
to the present outlook. There is
also a fair prospect that the three

An interesting feature is the feel

obtains among these states. In an
address at South Bend, Ind, the

said: The people of the United
states want another William McKin-

FREE JUSTICE.

Some of the prominent news

all thai can be seen. we are as far
from results as ever. Various
schemes of reforming the dispense

them are in the nature of a COM

fault Of the system untouched. Free
justice" means that there shall be
no privately paid advocates 1t
means that lawyers. as we'll as
judges, shall earn their salaries in
the attempt 10 get real justice, in
stead of working solely in the inter
eSts of one particular client. 1t
means that all attorneys participant
ing in a case should labor solely TO
help judge and jury to get at the
facts and apply correctly the law
pertaining thereto. instead Of the
present method of trying to create a
bias in favor of the side they repre-
sent 1t is the system, not the law
yers. that are TO blame for we must
expect men TO do their best 10 earn
their fees. even though they must
distort justice TO do so. The primal
thought Of the establishment of
courts was that every man with a
Just grievance should have redress
without regard to his ability TO pay
costs or lawyers fees. Nowadays
these two items of expense are so
great that it is cheaper for the ord
mary citizen TO suffer in silence than

The Hon. Justice Provosty of
Louisiana has neatly turned a sting
ing and murderous dart from the
breast Of Ancient Verbiage. as ap-
piled to indictments. in the follow
ing extract from his opinion in the
late case of State Y. Cox 6S South
Rep. 107: 1.-The learned counsel for
accused refers in his brief 10 the in
dictmeut, as follows: 1T is not put
ting it too strong TO say that this
bill Of indictment is a masterpiece
of Obscurity. Almost as much sense
can be gotten from a reading of it
backward as forward The only
way any sense can be made Of it
is to read the first few lines. skip
about four or five and read some
few more. then go back to the lines
skipped and start over. skipping
those read before and going to the
bottom. This bill is SO inaccurate
and obscure that, instead of saying
it is inartistic. we would say that
it was artistically obscure. vague.
rambling, inaccurate. and incon-
elusive. The learned counsel can
not expect of an indictment the
lucid phrasing that has made the
reading Of his brief in this case a
pleasure. Indictments have long
enjoyed a well-merited reputation
for cumherSOmeness Of expression.
1t is their privilege to be verbose
and obscure so long as they set forth
the crime to a legal certainty And
this has been done in the present
case. In good old indictment style.

Then l told him the best thing he
could do was to get his things off my
land right away, for wanted to go to
work and fix myself up comfortable
for the winter.
But when he hunted around to find
place to put his money and tools
and buildings and other portable
property he couldn't find it. Every
other place on the earth was owned
by somebody and he didn't have mo-
ney or other property enough to buy
location.
He said there was no use of me act
ing hog and if would let him stay
in Illinois on my land he would make
it right with me.
So l told him had all of the earth
cared to own and if he would give
me the money he had and let me
have my little old fiat to live in for
awhile, and make a bargain to give
me half the wealth he could produce
from my land, 1 would let him stay
as long as he wanted to.
He thought that was a pretty good
proposition and so he is out organic
ing a political machine that will take
hold of the producing and distribut-
ing of the wealth in way that there
will be no competition anywhere.
When he gets it settled as to who
is going to be the boss distributor and
the boss director of products, and the
grand organizer of labor, and the
manager of manufactures, and the
high priest of agriculture, and the
great mogul of transportation, l will
probably come to the conclusion that
l will need a little more rent for the
use of my land on account of increas-
ed cost of living.

the matter of the investigation OF the
board in it's actions regarding the asy-

made against the board regarding the

swer says that this work was bene-
ficiaf to the patients and that for such
services the patients received cern-

the complaints. Attention is called
by the board to the testimony OF DR..
Hotchkiss regarding the benefit to the
patients so employed and that it is
custom that has been in vogue in the
institution for great many years,
and that the work done by the rati-
ents would have to be done by some
one and that in case outside help was
