tits the most dangerous because 1t I'M
dermines our whole judicial system and
prevents that certainty Of punishment
which is needed TO prevent the commits
sion of other crimes.
While il is proper and necessary TO re
quire proof of the crime, there is no rea-
son why conviction should be rendered
practically impossible because of the inn
possibility of proving that testimony
which is proven and admitted TO be false
was given with criminal intent
So far as Detroit is concerned. we
might just as we'll have no law against
perjury.
Because of the impossibility of convict
ing, there are no prosecutions for perjury.
The report of the attorney general for
1916 shows that out of total of nearly
$4,000 prosecutions in Michigan during
the year, only 20 were for perjury, and
only eight persons were convicted for this
crime
The reports of the attorney general for
the last five years show that only 80 con-
victions for perjury were secured in the
state during those years.
The Condor bill would remedy this con-
dition.
II ought 30 secure the support of all
good citizens. and of prosecuting officers
in particular.
No honest witness who makes a false
statement unintentionally viii be endan-
gered If the Condor bill becomes law.
But wilful and deliberate perjurers viii
hesitate if they know that they have the
burden of proving any false testimony
was given by them in good faith.
The bill reads:

The Ukraine
~ on. FRANK CRANE
tCopyftsht 1915 By Frank Crane,

There has been good deal said about
the sufferings of war In Germany. Bel
gium, Poland. and Armenia, but perhaps
that part of the world whose condition
is most pitiable is Ulrainia
The Ukraine county comprises the
south part Of Russia and a portion Of
Austria The Ukrainians are sometimes
called Little Russians or Ruthenisns.
They are decent, peaceful people. al
most all farmers, and ask and have asked
nothing of the rest Of mankind but 30 b
let alone and to be allowed 10 work.
Unfortunately they have been 10 situ-
ated that they were buffer between Eu-
rope and the East Wars, not their own.
have continually ravaged their territory.
In this present war Germans and Rus
slams have alternately scoarssd them.
Back and forth the juxgsrnaut Of BAT
tie has rolled over them
Their land Ia very rich. consisting Of
deep, rich, black soil, Nke that of thu
Mississippi valley. II they had q chance
they could feed the world.
In the long history Of monarchy every
mans hand has been against them, for
they were not q wsrhke people and
sought simply 30 mind their own busi-
ness. AS q result Poland oppressed
them, Russia ground them down. Aus
tria lied 10 them. cheated them, and rob
bed them.
Each Of these robber nnonarchies took
its turn in prcying upon the Ukrainians.
as wolves upon sheep.
In the new day now dawnins for Rus
STA the Ukraine Ia stirring with hope.
They have no nstionanstic ambition. they
do not want 10 be . separate kingdom.
but desire only 10 be federated With
other peoples in some way that shan give
them peace and chance 10 develop their
country.
President Wilson. at the solicitation Of
the half million Uluainians IN the United
States, has designated a day upon which
contributions may be made for The re
lief Of these unhappy people. The plea
should not be made in vain. These peo-
pie have very much the same ideals and
aims as we.
Americans of Ukrainian descent have
done what they could 10 relieve the suf-
ferings of their brothers at home, but
they are mostly laborers, miners and the
like, and have hardly raised $4,000.
which is far from adequate provision for
the present terrible needs. =
Americans could do no worthier deed
than to reach a helping hand TO
these our fellow human beings and par
ticipators in our democratic aspirations.

Every man takes n for granted
that there N only one OF him. lie

changing. indivisibls being. having
unity and continuity OF conscious
ness thruout life.
This is the traditional view OF
human personality. II may also be
called the common sense view.
But medical and psychological au-
thorfties have been dealing n some
hard blows They have even brought
together much evidence TO Indicate
that the original self OF any man
may be obliterated and replaced by
an entirely different self.
Moreover. these attentions OF per-
sonaifty often occur with startling
suddenness. and from trivial and

fact remains that the personality

Nevertheless. two significant cir

The other r. the occasionally r.
