Court "WutcHers"
In Var on Crime
By the Associated Press.

by inr hSSOClNEeo freSS
BALTIMORE, October al Mrs.
Marie Bauernschmidt, socially prom
inent and politically active. said yes
terday she hopes Ito put the fear of
God into men in public life" and make
the city "magistrate-m minded" by an
inspection system for minor courts.
The system. sponsored by the Public
School Association which she formed
l8 years ago. will be tried out this
Winter. Already she has asked civic
associations to appoint court watchers.
We'll let the watcher decide
whether justice is being done" she
said. IF not; we won't bawl out the
magistrate in public Well go to the
Governor (who appoints Maryland
magistrates and tell him about it.
Then the Governor can call him in
and talk to him and try to improve
his work"
Mrs. Bauernschmidt pictured such
system as way to make better men
anxious for magistrate appointments.
At the same time. she said, it would
be an attack on crime on new front.
IF the people want to deal a death
blow at crime they will demand
politically police magistrates =.
You can't have shyster lawyers
profitably employed If they can't con-
troll the judges" she explained.
Il plan to make every candidate
for Governor promise to appoint as
magistrates only lawyers. well-known.
middle-aged or young, and of good
reputation.' she added. They should
be delighted to get the training in a
Magistrates Court"
Her watchers won't work on any
regular schedule, or be in the courts
all the time.
But they'll drop in from time to
time. Let the magistrates get used to
having a better audience than they
have nCw." Mrs. Bauernschmidt said.
and let the prominent people see how
the system works and how they like it"

He was unsympathetic toward obeying

Waldo than because OF the imminent
probability that Mr. Charles Jones
would become deeply and permanently
enamoured of Irene.

Margit eSerted upon him all the

Waldo, with your new personality,
and with your statement that you're

one thing left to do. Get an auto
