UDGE BEN LINDSEY of Denver is going to jail for a year. | He goes to jail for contempt of court. | A woman in Denver was charged with the murder of her husband. Her small son declared that he and not his jmother did the killing. The officers of the law said he was lying to save his ;mother and they tried to sweat what they called the truth jout of him, They failed. | The police, failing to shake the boy's story, took him to Judge Lindsey, an expert in boys and in truth and in false- hood. Judge Lindsey says: | “I got the truth out of that boy by lifting the spell of | fear—promising I would not betray his confidence.” Then Judge Lindsey was able to advise the police and prosecutors, but that wasn’t enough. He was commanded | to take the witness stand and testify to what the boy had told him. He claimed he stood in the same relation to the boy that a lawyer or a doctor or a priest stands—a confidential jrelation that the courts have for cénturies held inviolate. | "The judge of the criminal court again ordered Lindsey | to testify. He refused and was declared to be in “contémpt of court.” Ir THAT BOY had paid one copper cent to a lawyer, as a “fee” his story would have been held by the courts as sacred as the confessional. The lawyer, himself, —_ e say “could have” in the Pickwickian sense—that is merely that that’s the law, bat whether it would stick as between lawyers and judges is another story. Well, anyhow, on appeal, a vote of four to seven, the supreme court of Colorado, whose past record is as ill-famed as Lindsey’s court was in good repute, held against Lindsey. On appeal to the United States sppreme court it was held, on a technicality, that the court could not hear the bop ek ger there, ww he must betray the boy or pay $500 or go to jail. Glory be! Tirsacs te po % tate Squeal on the boy? Never. Concede that a judge’s honor and a ceurt’s good name can be squared for $5007 Never—or that is, not publicly, So he goes to jail, and he does a seryiee to every court and every judge in the land. He preves that a judge can put public service above personal comfort; duty above con- venience; conscience above expediency, and justice above technicality. «eee INDSEY’S YEAR IN JAIL will point public attention to our courts, our legal procedure and our jails. While he is in jail we may take notice of some who are not in jail. There are several people he will not meet in He won't meet Harry Thaw, who did his killing over a wine table in a theatre in the center of New York. He won't meet Senator Newberry, of Michigan, and his i assistants, whose fellow citizens, sitting as jurors, found chimney and a tub outer chimney. Leaving he treat of candy a kid —T, M.

(Society doesn’t lift her feet high, but she can get them on the neck of one, who is already down.) : And the sorry crew he does meet in jail will marvel and wonder what manner of judge has come amongst them und, by contact, they will be bettered and will come from jail with some faith in courts and judges, and Lindsey will come from jail unsmirched and enriched with further and deeper knowledge of the human heart and the sorrows of the unfortunate. And the Colorado court will still be in contempt! Glass of Water, Please! ‘OW comes the disillusioning report that Havana is NOT N full of full Americans. ; The reported thousands of Americans who had volun- ‘| tarily renounced the United States and taken up permanent residence in Cuba as a protest against “the abolition of rsonal liberty” are mythical. wae thus we pad a notion it would be. The good citizens who were going to remove to Cuba or British Columbia or Quebec or Mexico were, of course, talking thru their hats. They have abated their thirsts and decided that the United States is a pretty good old place to live in, after all. They have not abandoned their work and devoted their ‘time to drinking themselves to death at leisure. | Men who have saved up enough money to spend the |rest of their lives drinking in Cuba are usually men who have so developed the habit of working that such a life would be intolerable.

But these col lege-trained men, who have devoted their whole lives to study, are coming west, and they study their cases as we never do, They have got as far weet as Cincinnati, They will soon be in Minots." Mr. Emerson said that Ldncoln paused a good while after this resume of the situation, and then said again, “I am going bome to study law." He did it.

Lincoln might have gone back to Illinois nursing hie hurt feelings, end saying, “Here, where I am known, I am as great &@ lavayer as Stanton.” Mr. Ralph Emerson, one of the firm that employed TAnedin, hae told, and the lives of Lincoln record, what he actually said and did.
