REVISION IF CODE ID GIVE EVEN. BREAK
 WITH CRIMINALS
ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFERS cOMMENDABLE SUGGESTIONS
 TO LEGISLATURE

Tn line with the general movement throughout the nation for revision of methods of criminal procedure to combat the evils that have grown up. and wherein the criminal has en- joyed every advantage to the detri- ment of organized human society, Attorney General Rustgad has recom- mended to the Legislature that in the matter of selecting juries, the State should have an equal number of chal- lenges with the defendant.
 He also recommends that the presid- ing judge be given authority to com ment upon and explain evidence of fered to the jury.
 He believes that the principle of the defendant not taking the stand in his own behalf is a bad one, and that juries should be instructed to consider this circumstance in arriving at yer dict.
 The Attorney General points out that the evils which have grown up about criminal procedure and which have made it almost impossible to se- cure punihment for the offender and protect society, are the outgrowth of the days of the Stuarts of England, when the people were in conflict with royal despotism. The prosecutor be- came an object of infamy in his ma- chinations against freedom. It there fore became necessary to place safe guards about the man charged with an offense lest he be denied justice and the tyrannical powers made more secure This has led to point where bulwark has been built up about the criminal in latter-day procedure which is responsible for his escape from the consequences of his act.
 In these enlightened days, says the Attorney General, there is no longer necessity for this procedure, in view of the fact that instead of the power of the nation and organized society being arrayed against individuals, cer- tain individuals are arrayed against all law and order.
 The Attorney General is supported in his viewpoint by the Baume law of New York and the findings of the California committee named to get at the cause of so many crimes and the failure to punish.
 l It is proposed to take many of the tecnichaIities and obscurities from the criminal statutes, make them fair and also capable of reaching the man who refuses to recognize law.

walk upright and toe the mark, like
unto all true and honest Masons, and
from the 1st of August, 1924, until the
meeting Of the Grand Lodge in Octo-
Der that year on the West Side, each
week several thousand extra copies oi
this newspaper were sent free OF
charge to the head Masons residing in

1t was set forth in those burning
articles that thousands and thousands

in its Golfers the sixty thousand dollars

a long period Of twenty years; that if
the Grand Lodge officers had that
money in the bank, that they would
be able to buy or construct a fine
home for the old inmates of the home

money in the bank.
Our articles or stories set the Ma

was devoted to looking into every

Of them was the fact that the home

connection with the city water pipes

After the election of Grand Master
Ellis, the writer assured him that this
newspaper would loyalty stand by him
just as long as he walked straight in
the middle of the road in regard to
money matters and worked hard for
the comfort Of the old folks housed in
the Masonic and Order of Eastern

Grand Master Ellis made his first
official visit to this city in December,
1924, on his way to Rock Island,
Illinois, and before arriving in it, he
requested us to meet him before he got
out of town, as he wanted personally to
thank us for standing by him SO 10y

in his honor at the Union Masonic
Hall and the second person he called
on to address the gathering was Mr..
Julius z. Taylor, at which time we
again assured him that we would go
all the way with him, and we felt
almost as happy as he did when he
was engaged in laying the cornerstone
of one of the best and most modern
buildings owned by the colored Masons
in any part Of the United States.

healthy and dangerous to the lives Of
the inmates; that in case FIRE should
break out, there being no connection
with the city water works of Rock
Island, and no tall ladders around or
about the building, its inmates would
be burned to death long before any
relief could be extended to them.
Those horrible conditions burned
their way into the inner recesses of
our warm and liberty loving heart
which also rebelIed against the idea
or practice Of permitting the matron
to open and read all incoming letters
addressed to the inmates before they
were permitted to receive them and
read their contents and also to read
all outgoing letters before they were
turned over to the mail man. That
we thought was absolutely wrong for
at no time in the past could the home
be considered a criminal institution.
Shortly after our return home, at
that time, several of the high Masons
who wanted to hold on to power and
the good piclSings, induced Col. Robert
s. Abbott to visit the home, and in
his article in connection with his visit
to the home he set forth in the most
glowing manner that it was all
peaches and cream" and bright sun
shine for the old inmates. That the
only improvement really needed was
a new gravel walk leading from the
roadway to the home" Then the
high Masons caused the article by Col
Abbott to be broadcasted, in which
the writer was serevely condemned for
stating the truth and nothing but the
absolute truth in relation to the true
conditions at the home

resolved TO wage a desperate fight on
