J tain peace in the face of a nation ] wide urge for war brought a de- ] mand from Butler that the United i States senate “purge’’ itself of : “that object." One biographer said of Butler that i he was a “bootlegger of internaton-] al amity.” Aristide Briand devised I I peace maintenance theories, he | I said, and Butler ballyhooed -them. ] ; The result, the biographer declarI ed, was “cr“h?med down the (throats." of the public as a "Kel-. j logg pact." Butler holds an endless number of international honors, degress, and titles. In British Who's Who he occupies a half column more than he does in the American edition. “The champion international visitor and receives of foreign de-, I gress," H. G. Wells, the historian. • called him. In Europe Butler is known as an ; adviser on government, legislation ] ] and political theories. He was an admirer and adviser of the Kaiser ] before the World War. In this country the educator is i known best for his war on the eighteenth amendment which he wants repealed, for his advocacy. of world peace, for his sometimes j unorthodox republicanism. An in- , stance of the latter was his desert - I ion of his tried friend, Theodore Roosevelt, to help William Howard,

j Tart in the presidential campaign lof 1912. As Butler’s reward, he received the electoral votes of Utah and Vermont for the vice presiI dency. He usually is termed a liberal. One Tommentator said of him that i only two classes could speak their ] minds. “tramps and members of : Dr. Butler's faculty at Columbia." Butler once was indicted for criminal libel .for calling a revered superintendent of schools in New York I City “that fine old educational mastodon." He was acquitted. And 25 years ago he said of football what some college editors and others are announcing today—that football is a “profession, an academic nuisance, and a commercial | enterprise." That started a Student war in Columbia but killed I football as a sport there for years. Then as an unorthodox republi- ] can the college president politician penned a stirring tribute to Alfred iE. Smith for a sheepskin which turned the democratic wet leader into Dr. Smith, and followed that by denouncing the republican convention of 1928 for straddling on the liquor question. He began his career as the infant prodigy son of an Elizabeth. N. J., merchant and republican leader. He organized teachers college of Columbia at 24 year# of I age and became president of Coi lumbia in 19f12. He has made it one of the nation’s leading educational institutions with more influence among instructors the nation ; over than has any other school. It probably is not strange then that President Butler's error in word usage during an address about two years became an international incident, simply because it was rebroadcast. The college president with the pageful of degrees was recorded (as saying “neutrality don't involve | breaking your obligation" and the j folks who write letters to the ediI tors got all excited because Ift ] didn't say “doesn't.” Jane Addams has been warring ; against poverty and war all her life. She was born in Cedarville, 111. Her father was a Quaker miller. And she remembers that from early childhood she has abhorred the manifestations of poverty. She decided to her life work the relief of misery in the slums before graduation with Rockford college's first class, and went I from there to the Women's MediI cal college at Philadelphia. She I visited England. After building Hull House into a world-renowned instution, although ] site considers it a busy home in which she is the mother. Miss Addams devoted her efforts to world peace. She has thought of marriage, several times, she said, “and several gentlemen have too, but I’ve been so busy at Hull House it just seemed it never came off,” she explained to one questioner. That inistitution was founded by herself and Ellen Gates Starr. The two came to this country from a visit in England determined to find a settlement house that would fit their needs. Volunteers aided them later. They included Julia Lathrop. Florence George Abott, Dr. Alice Hamilton and others. Twelve units since have been added to Hull ■House which now includes a library, kindergarten, clinic, gym nasium, theater, ball ropm, and serves 6.000 persons weekly. Miss Addams has crusaded -for insurance against unemployment and poverty, for improved living conditions among the poor, for limitation of child labor, and for woman’s suffrage and world peace. She was chairman of the international comrhittee of Women for Permanent Peace, and presided at the international convention of the International Congress for Women lin 1915, 1919, 1921 and 1922.

Judge Clarence Martin prepared ' the opinion. “Police officers are constantly I confronted with difficult and trying duties in handling prisoners.” the opinion read. "Courts will go far in support of police officers who act in good faith in legitimate efforts to protect society. They may exercise re.mnsable means to secure obedience to reasonable orders. The securing of a voluntary confession from a guilty criminal] is to be desired and reasonable ex- ' amination of a prisoner suspect-] ed of a crime should be allowed in the interest cf public welfare and safety. "Such examination, however, should be kept within probe bounds and cruel and brutal methods should never be tolerated, Confessions obtained through threat or fear of physical force or violence ] are not tolerated.” The opinion cited other cases in ] which prisoners were protected from cruel or unjust treatment.
