Men often appear in the Criminal and
city courts for assaulting their W. rs.
This is another duty Of the prosecC or
to prosecute wife beaters. Sometimes
ii is a double duty because the case is
appealed from the city court to the
Criminal Court
The records of the Criminal and /
nicipal courts are full Of testimony OF
defendants who admit that they did not
receive proper training while young be-
cause their parents were divorced.

beyond the jurisdiction of the State
courts. When such defendants are re-
turned, the wife generally does not wish
him sent to jail or the farm, but desires
that he be compelled to support her and
the children.
The husband in cases of this nature,
generally is without funds or property
and to put him in Jail would deprive the
needy ones from obtaining the required
support. Such cases demand and re-
ceive much attention for the purpose of
solving the problem for the best in
terests of the wife and the children"
Numerous indictments are returned 1y
the grand jury Of this county each year
against men charging them with failure
to provide or with desertion. This prob
lem is often before the Criminal Court
Judge 1t is one which demands careful
study.
GRAND JURY
FEELS WEIGHT.
Indiana statutes make ii the duty of
the prosecutor to return ind ctments in
such cases and prosecute them when they
are returned. The divorce evil adds heav-
lily to the expenses of the State in hav-
ing grand juries investigate the alleged
failure Of husbands to support their fam
lilies, to return men who have been in
dicted on charges Of wife and child de-
sertion and also to prosecute such cases.
Hasty marriage, which now is consid-
cred a twin sister to the divorce evil.
and is in many cases as great a menace
to American institutions, plays its part
on the criminal calendar.
Often. men who have married young
have wept while reciting their tragic
stories Of becoming thieves in order to
give their wives the luxuries of life.
One of the saddest sights in the Crimi-
nal Court is to see a young wife, gen
orally with one or several children, ap-
pear in court to plead for leinency for
her husband

we have been very careless in appro-

he earned his salary. or at least. we
reaped through his efforts enough de-

Some may wonder how. We'll. it

GIVES ROAD SYSTEM
MOTH Err KICK

Editor Ncws-Budget:
SO much high tax agitation reminds
me of good old Methodist eXhOrter
who prayed for something to happen
to arouse the people from h g T.
'.letharjarkicaI' condition, and as moth
inc is so memorable as death and taxes,
let us be thankful it is nothing worse
than taxes.
But. why all this sudden awaken
ing? Can we have been asleep at the
switch? The calamity has been stead
lily approaching, gathering momentum
as it came and now that it is upon us
we hold up our empty hands i'll hor-
ror while for years we have slept,
while other hands held us up
Leading the van came our ponder
Gus unwielding county board system,
less but by no means least came our
town grafters with their special meet
ings. and their scratch my back and
I'll scratch yours" system of road
building, etc.
Then came our road commissioners
with a commissioner from the county
They made a fiftymile drive one day
last summer, found a bad piece OF road,
ordered gravel hauled four miles,
when gravel was within half mile,
plenty of it and of good quality, then
four men and teams were put on the
| lob with five shOvclcrs who loaded
| those four wagons twice day. Then
| covered it with mud. And still we
| slept Then came an assistant road
commissioners Oh, well. that was only
something near $500 per year, and
we never missed that. Anyway, we
hardly think he did any harm. We
wish we could say as much for every
one else connected with our state high
way graft, down to the little patrol
man who rolls dust in the road all
| summer.
Now we are not tight wads, we have
plenty of money in this great, prosper
Gus county Of ours to provide every
means of bettering our condition and
that of our children. We want a cOun-
ty agent but we want him to earn his
salary. We want him to organize farm
boys clubs, to supervise all our coop
erative societies: we want him to have
charge of shipping societies, to make
the stock on our county farm pay eX-
penses or eliminate them; in fact. we
would make his duties so numerous
that he would be as tired as d farmer
at night. We want our county normal
but we would smother them with work
We would have them do the work OF
the supervising teacher. We would
have them on duty Saturdays for the
benefit of our teachers We would
eliminate hap-hazard buying for school
supplies and deal in our own county
We want our nurse. but we want hel
to be able to say. Thou must" in
stead Of Il recommend" We want all
these things, but we do not want to be
called gullible

But there are other places where it
seems the leak is greater than any of
those mentioned above. For example ::
the writer had occasion to speak to the
Overseer or boss of a certain road crew
and noticed two men sitting down be-
side the road and wondered why they
were there. After a little man with
team and scraper came along, and
one of the men arose and held the
scraper, the team drove on and the man
went back and sat down. Later an
other team drove up and stopped, the
second man got up. went over and
turned and held the scraper and this
team drove on while man No. > went
back and sat down. The two men Wis
tied again until team No came back
and then man No. l got up turned the
scraper over, held it. and again sat
down as the team went ON. And this
process was repeated. 1t seemed ride
ulOus to me to have two men holding
scraperS for two teams and then have
two men to smooth down the dirt
The fact was brought to my atten-
ton that in one town several men who
had been working on the road were al
lowed one full days time (S2250) to
get their orders. If il had been too far
to go and get them, twO-cent stamp
would have taken the time-check to the
would have brought back the orders
and saved the town $22.46. Another
case was reported where a man had
drawn money for road work on Il GER
tain day when it rained hard all day
50 that he was unable to 90 out to
where Il number of men were drawing
money from the town for work on the
roads. when they were actually i'm the
woods hunting deer. In one district
during 1920 an industrious man with
Il good big team was hired to work on
the road. III the crew was fellow
who wanted to rest very often. He
would say to the teamSter: We'll,
let's take five The teamster would
reply: "Oh, | guess we'd better keep
going" They did keep going. But
Saturday night the teamster was. fired
and the other fellow was retained. In
one of our school districts the board
wanted Il certain man to transport the
children for three dollars per day. The
man said he would do it for four dol
lars per day. This week men have
hire another man and pay him five dol
lars per day. This week men have
said We'll. yes. | see it all now and
it is partly my own fault. but | thought

right to loaf on the job We are

hereafter our taxes may be lower, |

ASSAULTS MAN
WITHOUT GIVING
HIM WARNING
Evidently Believes That Rough
neck Tactics Can Muzzle
Press; Was Soundly
Thrashed

Charles S. Jackson, Vice-P President
of the Binga State Bank, prominent
man about town and undertaking
agent, took it upon himself to chas-
tise one of the members of the staff
of the Chicago Whip Tuesday after
noon.
jackson is now nursing lump on
his jaw, knot on his head, and sew
eral bruises about other parts of his
anatomy.
Jackson assaulted the Whip man at
the corner of 35th and State Sts.,
Tuesday afternoon. The Whip man
noticed Jackson approaching, and be-
ing acquainted with him, spoke. Jack
son ignored the salutation, rushed up,
and without a word of warming,
launched blow. His aim was poor,
however, and before the alleged vice
lord could gather himself, he was sent
sprawling upon the pavement. He
rose for another blow and was met
with another fusillade. A second time
he took the count. AS he was about
to kiss Mother Earth the third time,
onlookers separated the fighters. He
then is said to have repaired to
poker game in a nearby Office build
ing to dress his wounds.
Jackson is credited with saying that
at is not yet over. 1t is to be
hoped that he will let the matter
drop and that it will be unnecessary
to inflict more painful punishment on
him.
Jackson was embarrassed when the
Chicago Daily News exposed his con-
nection with the gambling syndicate
on the South Side. This paper serves
notice on jackson and all others of
his like that such tactics will be of
no avail in an effort to muzzle an
exposure of infamy.
