REFERRING TO the first term Of
Circuit Court held BY Judge Thomas
b. Buckner formerly Of Mexico, in
Kansas City last week. the Kansas
City Post editorially says:
Judge Buckner will find wholesale
eommendation on his stand against
t~echniealities in the administration Of
justice. His declaration comes like a
breath Of fresh air into fetid atmos-
phere.
THE course announced by Judge
Buckner will raise the whole tone Of
law administration. He will find al
most all Of the public with him. He
need pay little attention to those WAC
could grind heels into the constituted
authorities. That class Of men are
such as have allowed their eagerness
for wealth through any method to dis
tort their very beings.
4The people have cause to believe
that technicaIities and precedents are
the only barriers between law and
justice. Each was born Of the other
They have been invoked so frequent
ly that in some courts only the letter
of the law breathes. Its spirit is dead.
Killed by the interposition Of techni-
c~alities and precedents into the freely
flowing stream of justice.
"The condition has caused the pup
lie to be apprehensiye Of all courts.
In the criminal law, standing upon a
technicality is believed by the public
to be a confession of guilt. IN the
civil courts the use Of te~chnicalities is
most frequent in hampering or de-
laying justice and sometimes in abort
ing it. No man with a just need
fear to have his case before a court
determined to hear the truth and not
have it clouded by useless modes Of
procedure injected years ago by dead
men. There is need Of justice in the
courts. Justice Of today. Founded
on present facts, and not traditions

Lansing has directed an authorized
statement explaining why, under in

the United States Government 70
warn It's citizens to leave Mexico to
remain ont Of that country during the

for the Government to warn its cit
izens against sailing on belligerent
merchant ships OF to remain of the
high yeas when travelling on peace
full missions. Here is the secretary's
statement as dictated in response to
a question by Newspaper men
The high e are common terri
tory to every nation Territory is al
ways under sovereignty Of a nation,
and the authorities Of a nation can
do what they please in that sover-
eighty. On the high seas a noncom-
blatant, whether neutral or belliger-
ent, has a right TO pass to and fro
without having his life endangered
unless he is on a public ship. In a
territory he only has the right to pass
to and fro with the consent Of the
authorities. II it is uncertain
who the authorities are in that terri
tory he runs at once the danger OF
loss of liberty and life"

CITIES PLAN TO GROW RIGHT

~ 80 = 80
Salem, (0), Jan. 1.-THE notion
that Ohio cities, large and small,
would be wonderfully aided if they
used federal engineers in helping
them in their municipal architectural
and general improvement plans is be-
ing promulgated by the Ohio NUM-
cipal League. The services Of the en-
gineers could be had at a minimum
cost, it is pointed out, and the re-
suits would far outweigh any cost
consideration.
The trouble with most cities is that
they grow haphazardly. The old idea
was that if IA community grew that
was all that could be expected and
that everybody ought to be glad of
the increase. But many Of the COM
munities, in fact, most Of them, have
grown in a wobbly, crooked way, with
narrow streets, bulging and insight
ly buildings and a complete absence
Of design such as would permit a
stranger to find his way without the
constant aid of a policeman. Hence
the idea of system and harmony in
the growth of Ohio settlements.

SOME INTERESTING SIDE
LIGHTS IN THE BIG WAR

1t is estimated that more than 40,-
900 allied soldiers have been made to
tally blind since the war began.
According to the latest enumeration,
the armies of the central empires have
taken about 100000 prisoners since
the beginning Of the war.
1t was recently officially stated in
the house Of commons that the wealth
of the British empire is S130,0O0,O O0,-
900, and the yearly income Of the
government $4,000 900, 1000.
Estimates of the cost of war sub
mitted to the French chamber of de-
puties recently placed the total ex-
penditures Of Europe as a whole at
1874, OO0, 10000 francs.
1t is estimated that there are TWEEN
ty miles Of trenches to every mile Of
front in the western theater Of war,
so hat between Switzerland and the
North Sea the British and French
armies have at least 10000 miles Of
trenches to guard and keep in order.
Vladivostok, the gateway TO a rough
frontier country, is vodkales. The
imperial edict against alcohol is rig
idly enforced, and, although a little
vodka is struggled in, the price is pro-
hibitive to all but the very rich. A
drunken mar is now seldom seer in
Vladiyostok. .
Speaking of the tremendous success
of the last French loan, the Paris La
Liberte says: Remember that only
1907, $4,000 minutes have elapsed
since the death of Christ. Thus one
can obtain an idea of the immensely Of
the figures, exceeding 100000 900
francs (s2,8OO, 900, 1000, which testi-
fes to the patriotic generosity of the
'woolen stockings of France, although
eight departments, and these among
the richest in France, have caused to
contribute"
The inventive genius of the Germ
ans is wonderful. German scientists
SO far have made a discovery to meet
every emergency. Old newspapers
and other paper waste are to be used
as fodder. Loosely crumpled paper,
it has been ascertained, makes a per-
fectly good substitute for straw, both
as fodder and as litter for horses and
pigs. Certain chemical processes,
however, must be applied before the
paper becomes completely available
as fodder.
