have spent considerable time in
most of these courts. In the morals
court it has interested me somewhat
to study the different judges.
Judge Jacob Hopkins was the first
in the court and his work was good,
for he was not spectacular and he
might almost be said to be a fatalist
in his method of dealing with i'm
moral women. He seemed to realize
that punishment will not stop pros
titutiOn, and 1 never heard him talk
reform and 1 never heard him talk
of his work of reforming. He car
ried on the hearings in a matter-of-
fact way. His questions could not
be heard as far away as the jury box.
He never probed deeper into the de-
grading stories than he needed to;
he never treated the matter as a jest
nor made puns out Of the answers of
exploited women.
Judge Hopkins may not particu-
larly like my putting it this way and -.
yet 1 don't think he will care hang,
but exploited women seemed to have
confidence in him. They seldoml
asked for jury trials. They did not
very frequently lie. Sometimes their
frankness amazed me. They seemed
to be saying: There's no use my
stalling; I'll take a chance and tell.

One Judge besides Judge Hopkins
impressed me very much in this
court and that was Judge Heap. He
had more belief perhaps in Teforma-
ton, but he had a very keen insight
into the fundamental cause of much
of the evil, and he had no hesitancy
in saying time and again that low
wages sent girls into the life, and he
realized that reform was handi-

MORALS COURT JUSTICE DEPENDS LARGELYF
ON PERSONALITY OF JUDGE
BY JANE whitaker

3 JANE WIFI HNEH
In tracing the history of the eX-
plotted woman we had~gone as far in
previous articles as where the girl
enters the court in which she is to
be tried.
The morals court is one of the
branches Of the municipal court. Ad-
ministration of the. law, justice Of de-
cisiOns in the municipal court, in
most of it's branches, is dependent
alone upon the judge on the bench.
The municipal courts are chiefly
courts of the poor. The poor are
rarely able to hire lawyers. The city
and state provide a prosecutor, but
only in the boys court is there a de-
fender for the man or woman pre-
sumed by the law to be innocent I'M
til the prepOnderance Of evidence
proves guilt,
This means there is no one to
watch for those technicalities of the
law designed to protect the one &C
cused, yet frequently ignored when
a lawyer is not there to call atten-
ton to them
This gives a wide latitude to the
Judge. 1 have been told by a number
of lawyers that decisions are fire.
qUently handed down in these courts
that would be set aside if they were
appealed from, but there is no one
to appeal There is a law today I'M
der which people may be sent away
for life that a states attorney told
me will be found unconstitutional if
it is ever carried to the appellate
court, but the people sentenced I'M
der it have not had money to hire a
lawyer to have it appealed.
To me one. of the most interesting
things is to watch the varied charac-
teristics of the judges on the munic-
ipaI court benches. They are shifted
from court to court frequently. The
men and women who come into court
at different times, and therefore IN

AN EFFICIENT OFFICER.

We see by the Greenwood Ledge that
Jack Kirkup recently died at Nanaimo,
B. G. If this is the same Kirkup who
was law enforcer at Rossland twenty
years ago, then in his death passes an
unique character and one of the boldest
and bravest spirit that the wonderful
Canadian police system ever produced.
When We were in Rossland, the town
consisted of several thousand inhab-
itants made up largely of miners and
mingling in the population were many
hardened sinners. Yet, Jack Kerkup
ruled that heterogeneous mass with a
rod Of iron. He was about all the po-
lice force necessary to hold the town
In subjugation. A fine looking, well set
up man was Jack Kirkup, and he pa
trolled the streets le1surely carrying a
rattan. We have seen him watch two
fighters few minutes and then wrap
ping that rattan around their legs
warn them not to repeat the offense
Talk about law and order, why, Ross
land was as quiet, SO far as any in
fringement of law was concerned, as
a country village. The presence o.
Kirkup was sufficient to put an imme
