was passed it was really 1928, but
the council clock still showed mid
night.
Aid. O'Toole had passed an order
closing the City Hall Monday.
Mayors forces managed to shut

TF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR UNCLE
SAMMY, DON'T BITE THE HAND
THAT'S FEEDING YOU"

Sammy insult, the big little multi
millionaire BTitisher, who sells us gas
and light and carries us to and from
the loop every day, accommodating
several million nickels daily thereby,
made a speech last night before the
Canadian club.
And he admitted that, although he
gets more money from Chicago peo-
pie every day than any other man,
he regrets that he couldn't do it in
the British empire, surrounded by
Englishmen under the court of King
George.
His talk, in part, is quoted as fol-
lows:
q can say without breach of al
legiance to my adopted country that
whenever it is my pleasure to address
an audience of British extraction I
have some lingering regret that my
career was not made under the old
flag. That feeling is intensified when
l pass through British territory"
So the Tribune quoted him without
any comment. But the story as it is
written in the Trib leaves a taste in
the mouth of the reader that forces
him to wonder why insult didn't &C
cumulate a little more love for Amer
lea and less for England as American
millions passed through his hands.
And that's as strong as the Trib can
afford to go.
Another foreigner who cOrrals
much American money talked He
was David Forgan of the First Ma
tional bank. He said he was proud
of his British hyphen and boosted
the British banking system.

DR.. Roscoe Pound Thinks There
Is Better Way to Adapt Law
to Human Needs.
HALL HEADS STATE BAR

Declaring that we, the English
speaking peoples, should find some
more rational method of adapting
the law to the human needs, instead
of returning to the personal form of
government and going back to the
days of oriental justice, Roscoe
Pound, dean of the law school of
Harvard university and known as an
authority on Jurisprudence on two
continents, speaking before the sew
enteenth annual meeting of the Ne
braska State Bar association at the
Hotel Fontenclle, suggested that we
should shape some broad road to
justice without destroying the results
of year Of experience.
DR.. Pound, former Nebraskan and
personally acquainted with the major
ity of the members of the state bar
association, received demonstrative
and enthusiastic reception, when he
was introduced by John Dryden,
president of the body. His scholarly
address on the subject, "The Recru-

umph for the entente allied arms in a
report by General Sir Douglas Haig,
which was issued tonight md which

battle triumph in which the German
western armies were only aved from
complete collapse ana a decisive de-
feat by protracted period of unfavor-
able weather. that prevented the
Anglo-French forces from taking full
advantage Of :heir successful advance,
He declares that nevertheless it was a
triumph which proved beyond doubt
the ability OF the allies to overthrow
Germany when the times comes.
The British commander shows himself
a firm believer in the doctrine that the

Stone said no further statement

1t was pointed out that a general
strike Monday would be an impossi-

The administration of law and
justice from the primitive times up to
the present day, WAS described by
the eastern law school dean.
Growth Of Law.
He told Of the growth of law and
justice from the very beginning,
when kings and rulers administered
justice in rough and ready fashion,
according to their personal feelings
at the time. For instance, he pointed
out that the witty fellow, who told
of his crime or misdemeanor in a
manner to please the king, probably
escaped without punishment, while
the dull invididual who bored his
majesty was lucky if he got up with
his life.
Then, asserted DR.. Pound, came the
primitive period in the dispensation
of justice, when the ruling motto was
peace at any price" He told his
listeners that there was then de-
veloped a period of primitive law, the
principle of which was to buy off
the injured person by rewards fixed
according to theoir relative serious
ness. In this system of tariffs, DR..
