poor man as good a court as the rich
man requires only a slight change in
our laws. We know that such chang
es have been made in cities in other
states and have given to poor people
honest capable courts and that those
courts have existed for several years
and proved thoroughly successful and
practical.
We know that the people of Mis-
souri, are entitled to as good courts as
the people of any other state, and that
they will be glad to work for them
and get them. And we know that all
that is necessary to get good courts
is for the people of Missouri to know
the injustice we now have and how
simple it is to change it, and then for
them personally and individually to
see that broad. open minded men go
from their districts to the Constitu-
tional Convention and that honest in
telligent men go from their counties
to the legislature.

HARM DONE PEOPLE OF
MISSOURI BY "POOR COURTS
FOR POOR PEOPLE

Mary Bourke, poor widow, sued for
50 wages in a justice of the peace
court in a city of Missouri. Through
the ignorance of the justice, she lost
her wages. She had intended to use
them, to buy sweater and overshoes
for her eighteen year old daughter,
Ellen. Through the lack of them, Ell
len caught pneumonia and died. FL
len had been preparing to become a
nurse and work specially among poor
people.
Mary's son, Bill, learned from this
suit that under Missouri law, special
courts were provided for suits for
less than $50, that the justices of the
peace who held these courts were not
required to know any law whatever,
were usually poorly paid and some
times absolutely corrupt, but that
people who were so poor that they
could not even claim $50 were not al
lowed to bring their suits except in

F70M L9l.LY TOLL TO FAME
Edwin DaIiin, Ranked as Great Sculp- tor, Was Once W1eelbarroW Boy
 in Eiine m Utah.

One of America's greatest sculp- tors, Edwin Dallin, was once wheel barrow boy in mine in Utah, where he toiled all day for less than a dollar. The miners uncovered a stratum of white clay. one morning, and Dallin, forgetting his work, sat down and be- gan to model a likeness of one of the workmen. So lifelike was it that his teacher, when he returned to school In the fall, sent 1t and some of his drawings to state fair being held In Salt Lake City. A rich mine owner had his attention called to the little clay bust and he offered to furnish the boy transportation to Boston where he could enter an art school.
 The boy worked long and hard, and by the time he was twenty-one he had a studio of his own, the Detroit News recalls. He went to Paris shortly afterward and began a series of In- dian poses, using the Indians from the Buffalo Bin show at that time in France. His first masterpiece, "The Signal of Peaee," was finished at that time and he was recognized there after as one of the worlds greatest sculptorS. His "Ann Hutchinson" made for the Boston state house '"The Medicine Man" in Tairmount park, Philadelphia, and the great golden am gel on the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City are among his best known works.

Owls In Old University City.

Owls, as Is proper in the case oz birds of such renowned solemnity and secluded habit, have always ex' hibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have estab- lished new colony in the ivy-cov- cred walls of the BodleIan library and the Tower of the Five Orders, in the Old Schools quadrangle. Members of the library staff now occasionally find relaxation from their duties by res cuing the young birds which find their way down to the pavement of the quadrangle and are unable to fly up to their nests.
