NATION IN NEED OF BETTER STATESMEN

Judge Linn D, Hay, Dean of County Judges, Looks in Vain for Lincolns, Clays and Websters.

A higher class of State and national legislators is sorely needed to face problems threatening our civilization, according to Superior Judge Linn D. Hay, dean of the Marion County judges. Reform of Marion County’s judicial system is advocated by the judge. "Some of the men in Congress are not qualified to sit on a city council,” he said. "As I look around I can’t see many Lincolns, Clays or Websters on the political horizon, and our State legislators are too young, as a rule, not qualified to tackle the problems put up to them.” Slip-shod marriage and divorce laws arid public indifference to the social question is a matter of grave concern to those who have to deal with the problem, he said. Creation of vast institutions like the new Riley Hospital, insane asylums, orphan homes, children’s prisons and homes, State institutions for the feeble-minded. reformatories and prisons is evidence of the attempt woman woter to make good,” says Miss Lathrop. “No delusive claims of superiority or even equality will stand if our vote falls below the men’s level. Let us get out the vote, and vote ourselves for sheer selfrespect, for the glory of the game, for some good candidates in a cause we believe for the country's good.”

to cure social evils rather than prevent, he pointed out. The old saying of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure ’ still applies to the question of allowing the unfit to reproduce their kind to become a burden on public and private charity. Judge Hay thin*.. A court of domestic relations and reform of the Indiana marriage laws to require applications for marriage licenses to be published thirty days, was advocated by Judge Hay. “Holding up the marriage license for a month would prevent many hasty and ill-advised weddings,” said the judge. "If the applicants can’t hold each other for a month, it , would save another divofce.” While the marriage bans were being published an investigator could check up and see whether the parties were responsible enough to be | married, he said. “Why, there are cases the county support dockets where a man is paying money for two families and trying to support a third wife,” he said. “I think a person who has two or three living ex-spouses is no better than a polygamist who lives with them all at the same time.” Judge Hay opposes proposed abolition of justice of peace courts in Marion County. "There is need for inferior courts to handle the small, but important, business of the community,” he declared. ”1 would be in favor of
