NOTED JURIST AND PROMINENT
IN PUBLIC LIFE, THINKS
MUCH Discomfort COULD
THUS BE OByIATED

St. Louis, Aug. 7.--Establishment
Of legal aid bureaus throughout the
United States, to give free legal ad.
vice to the poor, was recommended
as a means Of checking the spread Of
radicalism. by speakers today vt the
convention Of the American Bar AS
sociation in session here
There is no more serious men
ace Charles Evans Hughes declared,
than the discomfort which is fostered
by a belief that one cannot enforce
his legal rights because of poverty.
To spread that notion is to open
broad road to bolshevism.
'The poor man must have legal
advice, and except in the simplest
matters he needs skilled assistance
to present the. merits of his case.
without opportunity on the part
of the Independent poor to secure such
aid, it is idle to talk OF equality be-
fore law. You may provide the ma.
chinery Of courts, but to have jus.
tice according to law. save in a
very limited class of where the judge
would act as adviser, you must need
the advice of lawyer. The legal
aid society is the poor mans lawyer,
and gives him simply advice he can.
not obtain elsewhere.
"The legal aid society of New
York. Mr.. Hughes said gave ad.
vice to $4,000 applicants last year" >"
Mr.. Hughes urged that free legal ad.
vice be given the poor in criminal as
we'll as in civil cases.
Reginald Heber Smith of Boston,
said simplified court procedure would
obvate the necessity for legal coun.
sci in certain cases but where the
services Of a lawyer was demanded,
they should be available irrespective
of the financial standing Of the
client.

Must Eliminate Bolshevism

Warsaw, Aug. 26-The Warsaw
press is optimistic, regarding the
Minsll negotiations. The newspapers,
with the exception of socialist press,
express the belief that the moment
is propitious to 'liquidate bolshe
vism."
In some circles there is an increas-
ing feeling that the negotiations may
come to nothing although official an
nouncements are to the contrary.
Militarists are indicating a continu-
alton Of The war to compel the SOW
lets to seek terms, and the change
IN the DanZig situation has had q
tendency TO encourage the observers.
MIlitarists here say the general public
desires peace and are hopeful that
the ATinsk negotiations will bring Il
cessation of hostilities. The social
lists from time TO time have proposed
peace demands which show they are
dissatisfied with the government S
policy. The socialists are urging
the resignation of Ignance Duszinski
the vice premier. Daszinski who is
a socialist leader became vice premier
when Vincent Witos was chosen pre-
mier.
Various strikes quieted during the
time when Warsaw was endangered
are reviving and the national demo
Gratis are more openly campaigning
against President Pilsudski.
