county in limited number for com
paratively small sum of money, but
small as this is, it must never be made
greater because of multiplication Of
imaginary offenses or of convictions.
So with the arresting officer, the
temptation must be removed from him.
He must not be encouraged to make
improper arrests by any feeling that he
will prosper in the smallest degree
thereby. He must be placed in such an
attitude toward the public that he can
understand he is an agency of justice
and is not to find his profit in the de-
tention, even for an hour of innocent
men.
What | have said, while having par
ticular reference to the administration
of criminal cases, applied well to the
civil side of the law. No man can
act as Judge who might consciously
feel that one side or the other is the
better able to meet his costs. His de-
cisions should be absolutely uncolored
by any question of personal advantage
resultant upon his disposition of the con-
troYersy. He must be under no
financial obligation to any possible
litigant. Today in some communities
in the natural course of business,
certain persons find it necessary to
bring many petty suits. Their business
is sought by Justices of the Peace who
fear to decide against such plaintiffs
lest they may lose the profits derived
from the exercise of judicial functions.
Such a situation is unfair to the judge,
unfair to the litigant, injurious to the
community, which in the long run pays
the costs of bad public service.
To add to the general confusion our
justices are appointed by the governor
with the advice and consent of the
State Senate "a method which weakens
his responsibility our sheriffs are
elected for two years and usually not
eligible for reelection, our deputy
sheritfs are appointed by the Sheriff, and
our constables are named by the County
commissioners. Need we wonder that
our minor judicial system is confused,
inefficient and expensive possessing as
it does no CO. ordination or responsibility
at any points. Withal at every point
we strengthen the machine as against
the people. Any business undertaking
so managed would be toredoomed to
failure.
AS indicated in some of the respects
outlined, Baltimore City is no such
offender as the counties of the State.
In others. to be briefly outlined, she is
more of an offender against the State
and against her own best interests
more of an enemy to democracy and
iustice-than all the rest of the State.

League in March.

Formal acceptance of the superin-

League was received last Friday from
George W. Crabbe. now at the head of

conducted the fights for prohibition be-
fore the Legislature and at the polls
last year. DR.. Hare is not in good
health and plans to reture to his home
in Westerville, Ohio, for good rest.

LEMONS MAKE SKIN

What girl or woman hasn't heard OF
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to whiten the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and

should be mixed with orchard white

the juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
OF orchard white, then shake we'll

skin and complexion lotion at about
the cost one usually pays for small
jar OF ordinary cold cream. Be sure
to strain the lemon juice so no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
tace, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach. clear, smoother and
bcautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces Of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer the lemons adv.

EvapOrated Fruits

der ordinary circumstances it would
be possible for a family to can suf-
cient fruits and vegetables for their
own use, thus liberating the supply
from the packers for shipment to the
allies Home canning now seems to
be out of the question and the prob
lem is how to best preserve foods for
winter use. The solution is the home
evaporation. All kinds of vegetables, in
Guiding potatoes, beans, corn, peas,
pumpkin and the more delicate root
crops may be dried, in which condi.
ton this material will keep indefinite
ly Evaporated vegetables and fruits,
when properly prepared, are more pal
atable and nutritious than canned
goods. In addition there is the lower
cost of preparation and the ease of
storing over winter. A home evapora-
tor may be made by any one who
knows how to handle carpenter tools
and at very low first cost. Plans
for construction and directions for
evaporation may be had from your
Canning Club Agent. Make it a point
to see her at once.
