POOR Do NOT GET A
FAIR DEAL IN COURT
CARNEGIE FOUNDATION MAKES
ILLUMINATING REPORT.
Asserts Law Is Being Used General
ly to Assist Wealthy and Dishonest.

Asserts Law Is Being Used General
ly to Assist Wealthy and Dishonest.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24-(United
Iress)-The Carnegie Foundation
made public today.
e-sA report on Justice and the
Poor" written by Reginald Heber
Smith of the Boston bar, with fore
word by Elihu Root, who calls it
systematic treaties and practical
handbook on the administration of
justice in the United States in the
direction which is at this time of the
most critical Importance" He says
cit is full of trustworthy information
and suggestion"
In Part /, which deals with "the
existing denial of justice to the poor"
the followink assertion is made:
"The administration of American
justice is not impartial; the rich and
the poor do not stand on an equality
before the law; the traditional meth
cd of providing justice has operated
to close the doors of the courts to
the poor, and has caused gross de-
NAL of justice in all parts of the
country to million of persons"
The report is based on a study
which embraced Mr.. Smiths investi-
cation at first hand Of courts and lc-
gal aid organizations throughout the
country during the last three years,
and his experience as counsel for the
egal Aid Society in Boston.
The report says the denial of jus
tice to the poor is national in scope
and is caused by delays which han
dicap the poorer litigant, court costs
and fees charged by the Staate
which too often prohibit access to the
courts by the poor, and the expense
of lawyers services.
The second part deals with remedial
agencies which can be employed to
make the position of the poor more
equal to those of larger means. The
report describes the procedure in
small claims courts with their infor-
nal procedure, the domestic relations
courts and heir use of probation Off
GERS, and industrial accident commits
sions administering workmen's COM
pcnsation acts.

AGED MAN PRAYS ALL NIGHT:
GIVES HIS FARM.

From veteran of the Cross. eigh-
ty-two years old, DR.. S. B. Rogers, di-
rector of the Baptist rs million cam
raign for Florida, has received the
following letter:
"This is the day of prayer for the
rs Million Campaign and the day of
prayer for the advancement Of
CLrist's Kingdom in the world. It
should be the day to contribute in a
substantial way to the great cause.
l have been praying for it since the
organization, but last night l prayed
all night. I could not think how |
could give anything to the cause. l
am eighty-two years old, poor and
afflicted, but about daybreak this
morning l remembered l owned 120
acres of land valued at $720, so I
asked God why / could not give it.
Well, l decided at once to give it.
Now, ask you to whom and how !
shall make the deed?"

THE SOURCE.

Each year finds the farmer and the goal
stabilized prices for his products. But with the pro-
ges that has been made in the last few years w of the
farming and growing areas still permit the shrewd
ket manpulaor to tell what shall get for pro-
ducts
Yesterdays dispatches carried story from Ohio say
ing that the farmers had decided to down production
for the that they did not find profitable to raise
crops any more, at the present high prices No
doubt farmers in other communities, where they happen
be organized will follow suit. This will constitute,
it were, strike.
If this practice becomes general among the tilers Of
the soil it will not require any great imagining to
what will happen. strike of group of men following
industry would bring about such catastrophe
by the farmers.
But why not? Unless the farmer gets enough out of
and comfortable living why should he keep produc-
ing? We in Florida must keep the balance of trade
slightly in our favor by products of the soil, to very
large extent But of the product of the soil does not
leave sufficient balance to purchase the manufactured
articles that from other sections and which
senta to peace and happiness and comfort why should
continue producing?
But is it possible for farmers to successfully engin-
strike without organization? 1t is not In some
localities they organized and have demanded stpu-
lated price for their products before the seed
the ground An arbitrary exercise of such power would
be calamity but to exercise it to the end that there is
just reward for the producer would be boon indeed
Then organization among the growers of fruits, veg
etables beef and pork and all other commodities raised in
Florida would bring about condition redounding great
ly to the benefit of the producers.
Producing food is the source The of all liv-
ing peace and happiness Men lived and prospered with
out the coal mines the steel mills Of the workshop but
they have and will be able to live without the
products Of the soil. -

WOMEN ORGANIZE.
Critics Of School Administration Start
An Association.

An ASSOCIATION.
At q third meeting held Tuesday aft
ernoon at the Y. NJ. c. A., at which
eleven women were present, a parent
teachers association vas organized,
which Is hoped TO grow into an influen-
tial body but it's inspiration and the
purpose of its promoters for the most
part is that Of criticism of the present
school administration.
4 constitution was adopted and the
following officers were elected: Mrs.
w. |. Good. president: Mrs. Ida Stat
Ter. vice president: Mrs. J. w. Lloyd.
secretary. and Mrs. w. n. Bardwell,
treasurer All but Mrs. Statler had ex-
pressed themselves as hostile TO the
school superintendent to the high
school principal or to the school man
agement in general
They expressed the object Of the as
ISOLATION is TO bring about "A closer CO.
operation between parents and the
teachers. and Mrs. {. w Hughes stat
ed that Superintendent Palmer had as
sured her that he would do all that he
could TO cooperate with such an asso-
citation If 1t were organized but that
he considered the beginning of the next
school year the moro logical time to
form such an association.
Al Two previous meetings Inc discus
sion developed that q few women were
inclined to criticise the present school
administration severely while others
thought that If the parents would do
more at home there would be less TO
criticise on the part of the teachers.
This faction dropped away from the
meetings but the others were determin-
ed to go ahead. Two Of the officers
also are suspected f\personal griev-
anccs because theS children failed TO
pass in some of their studies.
