THE NEED OF JUDICIAL REFORM.

Perhaps the need of judicial reform has never teen better expressed than by Attorney General Bonaparte at a meeting of the National Civic

League in Pittsburg recently, -when he said :

"Partly because the bench and the bar tolerate dilatory, frivolous and often ridiculous proceedings by unscrupulous counsel intended to cheat justice; partly because our lawmakers afford almost icfinite facilities for review of judiciaj action to the criminal, although very stingy in allowing them to the government, mainly because our laws show little sense of the value to society of a speedy administration of justice, we have delay, and all that makes for delay makes against the efficacy of the criminal law. When the people of an American state or the American nation decree death to whomsoever shall do thus and thus, and then let the transgressor live for months and years while lawyers wrangle and juries disagree and judges reverse each other, there is room for doubt, and doubt, in fact, whether the state or nation does, in truth, mean business. That sovereign punishes with double efficacy and triple certainty who punishes while the crime is rank and recent." LEADERS WERE NOT INDICTED.

There must be a queer lot of people in Springfield, 111. The grand jury, which has been in sesion there, ha3 failed to indict the leaders of the riots which occurred there in August The fact is every bit as discreditable to the city as the rioting itself. Even should there be some scapegoat punished from among the 117 accused in the participation of the criminal and shocking disturbance, the escape of the mob leaders is a mockery of law and a travesty on justice. But the law is not discredited, nor is the law alone responsible for justice. The prosecutors must at least have evidence with which to support their charges. The community which winks at halfhearted prosecution, or which permits the silencing of witnesses and the default of law enforcement is the weakling which is disgraced, because it will not avail itself of the law. The Springfield riot and the supineness of the people there to punish the perpetrators is a shame, no matter what way it is looked at. ( AFTER THE SALOONKEEPERS AGAIN.

Saloonkeepers in Lake county who had been led to believe that with the close of the campaign that the Anti-Saloon League would shut up and be

silent have evidently had a rude awakening. At least if they have not had, they are to get one if interviews with temperance leaders in Lake county count for anything. The league seems to be imbued -with the idea that if the tests to be made early next year are successful, that one will be tried in Lake county. The temperance people also evidently expect the republicans to help them pull their chestnuts out of the fire, but whether the assistance will be acorded them is doubtful. The republicans do not feel any too kindly towards the anti-saloon league of Indiana. They attribute the sacrifice of some republican statssmen in Indiana as the fault of the ultra-temperance element in Indiana, namely the prohibitionists. Besides the league has evidently forgotten that when it gets ready to do business in Indiana next January, the democratic legislature may have given counuty local option its conge, notwithstanding the existing impression that it will not do bo. WE DON'T KNOW just how true the story is that they tell about one of the Gary negroes whom one of the republicans was instructing how to vote, but it is a good one and it has just cropped out. "Now you understand how to vote the straight republican ticket, don't you, George?" said the republican. "Yon bet Ah do, boss," the negro retorted quickly. "Ah jes' make a little cross undah the chicken." All George could think about -was chicken, though it is perhaps unnecessary to diagram the story. MR. TAFT HAS already begun to encounter the annoyances of the office which he is to take shortly. The big newspapers persist in making his cabinet for him, doubtless much to his chagrin. The president-elect has undoubtedly trouble enough on his hands without being compelled to refute every idle rumor concerning his official family-to-be. Of course the Hon. Sod Podkins and the Hon. Jeems Gherkins are honored in having their names suggested for the cabinet but it is an awful bore to the goodnatured Mr. Taft THE LAPORTE HERALD is running a series of epistolary effusions, entitled "The Love Letters of Mrs. Gunnfss." They would make Eric Mackey turn over in his grave and when you read them you conjure up a picture of a fat, greasy, vulpine, lewd woman with blood on her hands and the devil in her heart. "KEEP YOUR FEET WARM," advises a physician, now that cold

weather has set In. We wonder what the Louisville Herald means when it

follows this -statement with the warning, "Wives, take notice!" Has the Herald editor given his wife notice?

A DETROIT WOMAN has applied for a divorce because her husband

has been drunk for nineteen years and a paper suggests that she really doesn't require a divorce, what she ought to try for Is a pennant

THE WILLING WORKER. Forty years ago the following ad

vertisement appeared in a village

newspaper: Wanted. A willing boy wants work. The boy who paid for that ad. is rich now. He says he made his fortune that day when he advertised. Which is suggestive.. For it is true that the man who makes a fortune makes it more by getting his first thousand than by adding his last thousand, because he has taken the first decisive step toward prosperity; he has proved his ability to succeed. Opportunity Is something. But opportunity PLUS the MAN who is WILLING to USE IT is more. When that boy put his first advertisement in that paper he served notice to his little world that he proposed to find his opportunity and use it. He was not only willing, but eager, to have his chance.

The boy got his job. And he measured up. to it. He held that job until

a better one was offered him. Boy, young man! s

Do not inveigh against Providence or

"luck" or the hardness of the world.

PITCH IN. Even If the world does "owe you a living," which is doubtful.

REMEMBER YOU MUST COLLECT

IT YOURSELF.

In every avenue of life those whose

service is at a premium are those who

are willing to work. By their willing ness they have made themselves in

valuable. Whoever employs them feels he cannot dispense with their service

without loss. Because

Willingness to work argues that the

worker will put heart and skill into

his task. He will master his job. He

will work intelligently and zealously.

And so, when the slack time comes,

whoever goes, the willing worker stays

MANY PERSONS DISCHARGE

THEMSELVES.

Everywhere nowadays the cry goes

up from employers, "Give us capable,

willing helpers."

Employers tell us it is really diffi

cult to find boys and men who will take a personal interest in their work. Is that true? If so, what an opening for willing workers! Not the sort who keep their eyes on the clock, not the sort who give themselves grudgingly to the task, not the sort who ;ve the least service for the largest wage. But what a chance for willing, heartful, enthusiastic workers! The willing worker puts his work first and his wages last. Therefore the willing worker except in rare intervals always is able to find work.
