To Restore Respect for LaaU
(From the Omaha Bee)

The uncertainty, completely and
delays of the law, so noticeable &c
the public generally. can no longer
be ignored by the lawyers them
selves. The most serious conse-
quence of these defects is that they
create a lack of respect for the law,
which undermines the moral fiber
OF the community. II the operation
OF justice is defective the rich are
more apt to use their wealth TO OPP
press and the temptation to cheat,
steal and indulge in the whole cata-
logue Of crime is unchecked.
IT was with these thoughts in
mind that a meeting of distinguish
ed members OF the legal profession
recently met in New York to urge
the necessity OF restating the law
and simplifying legal procedure
Consider first the fact that Elihu
Root probably the greatest member
OF the American bar. presided. and
the report adopted by this meet
ing becomes startling. One section,
which takes cognizance of popular
opinion. reads thus:
There is today general dlssatis-
faction with the administration OF
Justice. The feeling OF dissa tisfac-
ton Is not confined 10 that radical
section OF the community which
which would overthrow existing 80
cial, economic and political insti-
tutions. II It were we, as lawyers,
could afford TO ignore a.
But the opinion that the, law is
unnecessarily uncertain and com
plex; that many of its rules do not
work well In practice. and that its

Recently, Mr.. Hugh Leddy. who

Man the following surprising testi-
monial:
Il had suffered with my stomach
for is years and can hardly tell you

"At times would have such

troll my nerves and the hot and cold
sweat would simply pour off me.

time and my kidneys were disorder
ed so that I would have to get up
three or four times a night. I had
one spell when I got so bad that 1

FIVE weeks.

I administration often results not In
justice, but in injustice. is general
among all classes and among per-
sons OF widely divergent political
and social opinions"
The remarkable thing is that
these lawyers do not attempt to con-
vince the public that It is entirely
mistaken. I'm our opinion" says
the report, the most important task
that the bar can undertake is to re-
duce the amount OF uncertainty and
complexity OF the law" No effort
here to smooth over the situation
by telling the public how wicked It
is to question the sacred nature of
legal rigamarole. Admitting the
faults OF the present system, they
say: These defects cause useless
litigation. prevent resort to the
courts to enforce just rights, make
il impossible to advise persons OF
their rights, and when litigation is
begun create delay and expense"
Having admitted the need for re-
form, the movement proceeds to the
question of how It is to be done. A
conference has been called for next
month. in Washington. to consider
plans for restating the whole body
of the law. Chief Justice Taft, with
a notable array OF federal judges,
the president of each State Bar AS
ISOLATION. the head OF each law
school and many noted practicing
attorneys will be invited TO this
meeting. II is seldom that any pro-
fesslonal or business class display
such a willing spirit under public
criticism and moves to clean house

LITTLE ENTENTE" AND PEACE.
From the Washington Post.


From the Washington Post.
The present European unrest an'
the divergence OF views now visible
in the ranks OF the allied power
are calculated to increase the valu,
of the little entente" (the allianc,
between Czecho-Slovakia. Jugo
slavia and Roumania) as a stabiliz
ing force in Europe. Ever since th'
eve of the Genoa conference. thi!
! solid bloc" OF over 0.0O0. 900 peO'
| pie has been making its influence
felt in the councils of Europe and
today It begins to stand like a rock
in the tempest which threatens tc
sweep over Europe.
IL is for this reason that any
statement OF its policy Is worthy OF
being listened to with attention by
the political world at large. -Four
days ago DR.. Benes, the minister OF
foreign affairs of Czecho- -Slovakia
made a declaration to the commit
tee on foreign relations OF the ma
tional assembly. After passing in
review the various phases OF Ger
many's failure to meet her repara-
tion obligations which resulted in
the present action OF France. DR..
Benes turned to the other direction
from which danger threatened,
that Is to say, Hungary, Turkey and,
possibly, Russia.
The Hungarian government, he
pointed out, kept publicly assuring
Europe OF its love of peace without
however, showing any ability to
prevent the terroristic activities OF
various public and secret organiza-
tions, which eliminated in the re-
cent armed hostile demonstration

rumors spread from Budapest Of

foundation. All It's energies. are. on
the contrary devoted to preventing
a breach OF the peace
DR.. Benes admitted that Turkish
policy had recently scored an indis-
putable success. At the same time
he believed that a Turco- Balkan
conflict will be avoided, although he
admitted that all the possible causes
OF this have not yet been removed.
The worst feature OF the present
unrest in Europe is the encourage
ment it furnishes to soviet Russia.

Sure Way to Get

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid Of

how the blaclIheads have disappeared.
Big blackheads. little blackheads, no

that form in the pores Of the skin. The

THE INFLUENZA GERM.

From the New York Tribune.
The announcement by DR.. Simon
Flexner. OF the Rockefeller Insti-
tute. that the influenza germ has at
last been isolated is of particular
interest in view of the present pre-
valence of the disease. The dis
covery has no immediate bearing on
the cessation of the disease, but IL
foreshadows the development of
anti-toxlns able to check its ravages.
The enormous number OF deaths
from influenza during the war show
ed il to he one OF the worst surviv-
Ing enemies OF mankind. Yellow
fever, smallpox and diphtheria were
long since brought in hand. but in
fiuenza has several times swept
over the land unchecked
Until, as a result of the expert
ments now being conducted. pre-
ventive measures are devised there
is no better method OF fighting the
disease than by observing the health
warnings issued by the State and
city health authorities. The old
tendency Of treating a cold as an
ailment OF no importance has un-
doubtedly been partly responsible
for the spread of influenza. Not
even the campaigns during and
since the war urging precautions to
prevent contagion from colds have
inculcated sufficient care. Too many
people expose themselves or others
to colds without realizing what they
are doing.
The work of the Rockefeller In
stitute has long merited the un-
stinted praise which It has received.
II It can help in controlling the
spread OF influenza It will perform
a service for which millions OF indi-
viduals will ever be grateful.

A GIANT OF TO-DAY.

A Siberian giant named Kazanloff,
was on exhibition lately in Hungary,
but has grown tired of having people
stare at him and call him a freak; SO
has gone home to Siberia to help his
father work on the farm.
This sounds like an unusual story,
but the facts are given out by the
American Medical Association. Here
they are:
Kazanloff is thirty-four years of age,
his height is nine feet, three inches,
and he is built in proportion to his
height. Thus. his hand is one foot,
one inch from finger tip to wrist; his
foot is one foot, nine inches long; his
chest measurement is fifty-siX inches;
the circumference of his head is TWEEN
ty-fiYe inches and his weight is four
hundred and ffty-eight pounds. To
support this huge frame, he eats an
amount that would satisfy four others
of good appetite. In four meals in
the of the day, he consumes
four or five pints of milk, fifteen to
twenty eggs, three or four pounds of
meat, five or six loaves of bread, large
quantities of potatoes, beans and 9th
er vegetables.
He passes a large portion of the
day in slumber, and he has been
known to sleep for twenty-four hours
on end. Even when awake his move
ments are slow and deliberate.
