Lack Of law enforcement is re.
sponsible for crime running ram
pant; declared Judge Marcus a.
kayanagh, who presided over trial
and criminal proceedings In the Su.
perior Court of Chicago for twenty.
five years, in an address at the
Chautauqua last night. Fathers
and mothers must teach their chill,
dren in the home itself to respect
the laws of God, their land and the
parents. Lack of respect for the
law of the parents in the nome 1as
been the cause OF children having
no respect for law and order when
they go forth into the world. Judge
Kavanagh stressed the point that
parents should insist upon having
, the home law obeyed.
Enforcement Of the penal laws In
Chicago was responsible for de
cided decrease in the commission
Of crime. When criminals were lei
go unpublished the wave OF crime
increased in alarming proportions
II the law is not enforced It is UT
to the people OF that community tc
see that 1t is enforced because q
community does not rise above the
level Of its law enforcement.
/ Stop sending lawyers 10 your leg
islatures, the speaker urged. Send
farmers and business men to make
your laws. At this stage Of his ad
dress he declared that he approved
OF q general reform in the laws So
that technicalities that have made
a farce OF the administration of jus
tice could be dispensed with. He
believed that forms and procedure
were proper as an aid to case bu,
that they should not dominate It
The mere fact that word is left
out of a legal form Is no reason
why the guilty should go unpun
ished. The first duty Of lawyer
Is to the justice OF truth and not
to his client. No client can expect
a lawyer to lie for him any more
than he would expect him to steal
for him. A lie In the court house
is a lie Just the same as II It were
told in church or school house
Judge Kavanagh has appeared be
fore bar associations by the score
to urge that the farce OF technical
ties be eliminated SO that prison
ers might be punished instead oil
being turned loose on society tc
commit more crime. His efforts
were not received by the bar asso
Citations in the same spirit and be
said he is going before the people
aE his jury to tell the facts.
In the course of his talk Judge
Kavanagh recited the details OF {
,cruel murder in Chicago. He pic
tured the little family In the mod
est home and the loss OF its heat
By murder. The rerpetrator ap

The prettiest crockery and viii
lowware caught my eye today on a
visit to Weber's flower store.
Beautiful vases and bowls-large
and smail-in delft blue ware, in
Yari colored art ware and in that
beautiful French Lustre, any OF
which would make the dearest
gifts, favors or prizes and would
centre a table beautifully, at
prices ranging from IS cents up.
/ also saw here those very useful
glass and crockery holders which
are placed inside larger receptacles
and give support to flowers that
are lovely but difficult to arrange.
Last but not least l found a num-

OF Justice. Use 81 technicalities to
free criminals has been one Of the
causes for the lack OF respect for
law.
coddling Of prisoners Is too Wide

This statement he based on a series
OF reports he received from 9 large

prisons he was satisfied was as

sIn the way OF introduction Judge
Kayanagh told OF the 10000 muir.
ders year In the United States.
The freeing Of so many murderers
he declared Is a trayesty on jus.
tiee. he described the so-called
great American hip pocket de.

Lawyers watch the least technical
slip in judges charges or any legal
phase OF the case to free their eli
ents In some cases the defend
ants lawyer will cry some at the
trial and soon 1t spreads TO the
Jury. Scoundrels too frequently
are let go because iuries are melted
by sympathy. America leads all
countries in crime even "stiletto
and assassin Italy, One hundred
murders are committed for each
! million people.
A record of the commission Of
crime might be summed up in this
way: Three to one the criminal is
never captured. Ten TO one he 10
not convicted and 80 to 1 he will
not be executed. Technicalities
play the big part in acquittals.
He incidentally called attention
to jury slackers and the contribut
ing part to the TRAITORS to Jus
tice." Judge Kayanagh declared
the symbol of justice had lost hel
sword and 1t would have to be re

a gun this is the greatest service
| you can do for your country.
, Another point he made was that
no man should be too powerful OF
/ too popular as not to be amenable

the fact that the omission Of word

guide.

COTTAGE $6 A MONTH,
BUT IT'S IN MISSOURI
Editor Finds Cheapest and
Best Place to LiUe.

JEFFERSON CITY, July "A. c. Nc
Kibbin. publicity director Of the Repub-
lican State Committee. thinks he has
solved the high cost Of living. Recently
he purchased the Usage County Repub-
Noan, a weekly newspaper printed at
Linn. the county seat.
II rented a good building with four
rooms for my newspaper for 50 n
month" he said. Really, I needed only
two large rooms. but took over the entire
building because Of the low rental"
Mr. McKibbin probably contemplates
matrimony at an early date, for he made
inquiries about a desirable residence. He
says ne was offered a pretty cottage
with fine rooms and a great abundance
Of good water, a garden and with an
iron fence inclosing the grounds for Sc a
month.
After living around the hotels In st.
Louis and jefferson City. McKibbin says
one hardly can realize he Is in Missouri
when he asks for prices in Linn. The
living there is better, too, he says. than
in the larger cities.
II have found the ideal spot to live In
this State,'' said Mr.. McKibbin. "ard,
believe me, am going to spend as much
time there In the future as possible. II
the people crowded in the big cities only
knew how much better and cheaper they
could live in the small country towns
there would soon be an exodus from the
big municipalities.'

LIQUOR CASES GIVE
PROFITS TO COUNTY
Hudson Prosecutor Reports
Gain of $40, $50, Instead
Of an Expense.

A report yesterday by the Public Pros
ecutor of Hudson county. New Jersey.
concerning the Illicit liquor traffic in that
jurisdiction. set forth that the prosecu-
ton of liquor cases. instead of costing
the county money has netted II a profit
in fines of $4o.750.
In New Jersey Illicit liquor sellers are
prosecuted IN accordance with the
Crimes act Of that State. which provides
that defendants found guilty of crime
shall pay for the proceedings against
them. Since last septernber ls4 saloon
keepers have been arrested in Hudson
county. S2s irdicted and 12s cases sent
to the Federal Grand Jury.
o: the indicted men, 144 pleaded gull
ty and were fined $3.50 each. Pleas of
not guilty were entered by 17e defend
ants, but these men were not sent to
trint because of the difficulty of getting
verdicts Of conviction from Jersey 1uries
in liquor cases.
