LAW AND THE CRIMINAL
From the Kansas City Star.

Legal technicaities, zealously observed when the walfare of
the accused is involved; shyster lawyers, legal talent turned to the
protection of the criminal rather than society, professional bonds
men, continuation of cases till witnesses are tired out, Indifferent
or incompetent ries-wha an array of chances there are that
the criminal will escape and be let to prey upon society. What
wonder that crime should be on the increase!
In whose interest do the court and the law Operate-the
criminals or the publcs? The law undoubtedly was designed
for the protection of society. But the law has got further and
further away from its original purpose. 1t is complicated and
.hedged about with doubtful phraseOOgy. The trial Of any case is
a contest of wits, with victory to the keener minds, regardless
of justice. The riminal knows the situation, and he profits by
it. The law needs simpification as we'll as enforcement. The ideal
of justice must be dominant in all legal proceedings. The law
needs to be turned again to the protection of society.

THE SYSTEM OF COMPETITIVE BIDDING

If the system of competitive bidding on public or quasipubic
work or material, including printing, publishing and the furnish
ing of all kinds and manner of supplies used in offices, so perGs-
tently demanded by holders Of appointive "swivel-chair" positions,
is carried to its logical conclusion, the holders Of those positions
may ultimately find themselves in the dilemma of being forced to
sui nit competitive bids for their very own positions.
Under the present system in use in many Of the federal, state
and county offices, not purely elective, the operation of the law
of the survival of the fittest must ultimately result in either the
concerns by the larger, mOnOpOlistic corporations.
1t has gotten to be so common a practice, so common, in fact,
that it is generally looked upon as one of the necessary quaifica-
tOns of a public clerical office, that the holders of public or quasi
public positions, whose salaries are paid out of the public tax funds
supplied by all the people, actually boast of carrying the system
of competitive bidding to such an extreme limit that the success
full GU bidder actually loses money on the job.
In other words, to ostensibly save the taxpayers an infnitesi-
NAL fraction of a mill each, through this fallacious method of
close competitive bidding, the appOintive office holder would
gladly, even gOatingly, cause a manufacturer or dealer to lose
actual money by supplying labor or material to his department on
a nOn-prOftproducing basis, and thus weaken the very class of
citizens who pay the heaviest taxes into the exchequer from which
the "swiveLchair" office holder draws his very own bread and
butter money.
If close competitive bidding, carried to a point of actual
money loss to the successful (0 bidder. is to continue to be the
established order of the day in public and Quasi-pubEc govern
mental administration, instead of the payment of a reasonable set
price, or the going" scale, then by all means let us be gentleman
ly sportsmen' to the extent of welcoming the extension of the sys-
tenn to the filling of all such appointive offices, the holders of which
draw their pay, either in whole or in part, from the public funds.
Then, let the lowest responsible bidder get the position, no matter
if ne take the job at an actual loss.
Who knows but that some worthy and needy applicant will
agree to handle the work of the position for, say, 500 per month,
that now costs the taxpayers twice or thrice as much, or more
Who knows? Besides, if the sauce is good for the goose, why
wouldn't it be good for the gander?

Both railway and terminal mail clerks have been inclined to
.sidetrack weekly newspaper mail, evidently on the assumption
that its quick delivery was not of Importance to the subscriber.
This we hope will now be corrected and that the mail clerks will
realize that there is probably no newspaper that is of so much
importance to the subscriber as the weekly paper. 1t is a real
letter from home and is entitled to, and should receive, the same
consideration given to firstcass mail.
We hope the new order of Postmaster General New will re-
suit in better mail service for all newspapers, and not alone for the
metropolitan dailies. The publishers of both the country daily and
weekly press should make it their business to watch the mail serv-
ice received by their subscribers, and if they find they are not
benefiting by this new postal order they should advise the post
office department at Washington of that fact and insist upon the
same preferential treatment that is being accorded other papers.

1t is a worthy suggestion fW i keeping with the party policies

interesting contest of 1920 all over again, with the verdict against
entrance into the league, via the Box plan c any other route,
just as convincing. In the years to come n Democrats are
privileged to make the league the leading issue Of their presiden-

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEEKLY NEWSPAPERS
From The Publishers Auxiliary

The new order of the postmaster general regarding the
handling of newspaper mail is a move in the right direction, pro-
vided the attention of postal employees is not all conferred on daily
papers. Some months ago an order was issued that resulted in
preferred attention being given to the daily papers, but this order
actually resulted in an even greater delay of vaekly papers than
had before the issuance of this order. Let US pc the new order
will correct this evil and result in giving the same service to all
classes of newspapers.

Kindness, both in theory and in practice, is so plain and simple
that it is frequently overlooked as being entirely beneath our
serious notice. 1t is, however, the basis of cur very civilization
and the fOuntainhead from whence all the other virtues spring.
