A FIRED LEGAL AID SOCIETY.
[Corr. Des Moines Register.]

aE4.s t0Orr. DeS MONIES fteSlsteT.1
At the last meeting Of the taxpayers
league the subject of free legal aid
was discussed and a special commit
tee, William II. Fleming. D. s. Cham
berlain, H. G. Glue, w. w. Lyons. Mrs.
Jennie Steele Huegle, Mrs. Cokenower
and myself, was instructed to report a
plan for organization.
AT the regular monthly meeting at
the Plymouth Congregational church.
last Wednesday evening, Free Legal
Aid" was the subject for discussion.
f. S. Warren spoke in favor of it and
read extracts from the report of the
New York society, showing the great
amount of good it had done. Roy r.
Curray, Rev. j. Edward Kirbye, Miss
Margaret Hamilton, Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait, Mrs. Weinstock, Horace
Hollingsworth and others spoke strong
ly favoring the organization.
We find the first Legal Aid society
in the United States founded in New
York City in 1876, and in twenty-five
years it had collected over 100000 for
it's clients, in small sums, from people
who were trying to Cypress or defraud
them; in 1899 they had over 10000 ap-
peals for help.
Such a society does not compete
with lawyers because 1t handles small
business which lawyers do not want;
but it protects the poor and weak from
being wronged and defrauded.
The work Of such society helps
to make good citizens and arouses
sentiment Of respect for laws and for
the rights of the poorest. Most OF the
clients Of such a society are people
who are ignorant OF the laws and OF
how to enforce their legal rights. They
have an idea that the law Is for the
rich and not for the poor and without
The help Of strong organization
things are apt to work out that way
in real life Many of them have no
money to spare for legal expenses and
they think justice Is beyond their
reach. AS a result they become bit
ter, not only against the person who
wronged them but against society in
general and against a county which
permits such injustice. Such condi-
tions have a tendency to make bad
citizens and even criminals OF persons
who are thus wronged.
A Legal Aid society proves to such
people that the laws of our country
will right their wrongs and protect
them as well as If they were rich.
When such a person sees that ne
is living in a community which pro
tects his rights he is likely to become
a staunch supporter OF the social or
ganization and Of the community.

ton to the free medical clinics and

LAlyVLEsSSNESS.

IDeS LMoineS Capital.I
A number Of 16-year- old boys whose
homes have been in this community,
are in Jail and have confessed to the
crime of burglary.
Burglaries are committed for the
sake of getting money. In this case
the money evidently was not wanted
for any good purpose. A mature man
might steal, hoping to help his fam
lily. but boy of 16 is not stealing for
any such purposes.
The same newspapers which tell
about these burglaries tell about the
difficulties Of suppressing the frat
societies in the high schools.
Burglary is a spirit of lawlessness,
and when boys and girls are violating
the laws and rules OF the schools in
maintaining frat" societies, they are
aiding the general spirit Of 1awless-
ness which prevails.
Communities ought to become more
determined that boys and girls shall
learn to respect and obey their par
ents, and TO respect and obey the laws.
All these things go together.
