The People's National Ethical Society is an organization having for its purposes the correction of abuses in the trial of causes in court and in the general practice of the profession of law and especially to put a stop to perjury. The inspiration of the movement was an article written by Mayor Gaynor when he was a judge and printed in Bench and Bar on "How to Stop Perjury," in which he declared that perjury was "rife in our courts," and that certain members of the legal profession were largely re. sponsible for it. President Taft made a speech to the Hamilton Club in Chicago in which he expressed views of the same general tenor and only the other day furnished the secretary of the Ethical Association with a letter in support of the movement. The movement is an excellent one and It should be made to cover a wide scope. That perjury in common everybody familiar with the trial of causes In the courts knows, and that it Is encouraged to a large extent by the connivance of a certain class of attorneys is equally well known. Many witnesses are influenced by the side they are on, rather than by the truth they are sworn to tell, and in this they are helped by those lawyers who are willing to win at the expense of truth and justice. There is much looseness in the manner in which most courts deal with the attorneys who practice before them, the judges seeming to think the dignity of the profession is preserved by overlooking their wrong-doing, when in fact it depends upon exposing and driving them from the bar. There is a wide field of endeavor spread out before the People's National Ethical Society and its undertaking is a most worthy one. Baltimore Evening Sun.

Land Crazy

City people, used to have a good bit of fun at the expense of the credulous farmer who invested in some wild-cat enterprise or worthless product. But these same wise city folks have tumbled over each other in recent years to invest their money in the wildest of wild-cat land enterprises. Thousands of city people today own land that isn't worth a cent, that would disgust them if they knew anything about land, or starve them or anybody else who tried to farm it. Since the magazines have caught the farming fever and told marvelous tales of the riches achieved by tillers of the soil many have become too anxious to get some land. Not having capital enough to buy a farm they have bought a few acres of some agent or stock in some company that was sure to make a big thing out of alfalfa, truck or fruit raising. Worthless sands of the South, arid lands of the West, swamps and mountains of the East have all been unloaded on the land-hungry public by men who bought the land in large tracts at a nominal price, advertised it and retailed it at an enormous profit. Fruit growing has appealed with especial force to the city investor. He thinks that fruit just grows and he knows that it sells high when he has to buy it. So he figures that there must be an enormous profit in fruit. The magazines have forgotten to tell of the bad years, the enemies, the cost of labor and materials, the years of waiting for a crop, the skill demanded of Hie orchardist and all that, so he knows nothing about them. In one city about $250,000 has gone into a distant fruit enterprise. Another lot of investors, mostly well-to-do people, have paid extravagant prices for small tracts set in trees. A promoter recently offered us free a "nice bunch of stock" in a fruit-growing and handling concern capitalized at several million dollars on condition that we become a director of the company, which has no chance to reward its investors. Many poor women, stenographers, clerks and seamstresses have been beguiled into putting their savings into Southern sand lots that are entirely worthless. These are not fairy tales but facts, and we could laugh at the gullible city folks if their losses were not so serious to many of them. There are good investments in land of all kinds and we have not a word to say against any sound enterprise. But some of the schemes devised to sell worthless land at high figures should land the promoters behind the bars, where they rightly belong. National Stockman and Farmer.

VERDICT RETURNED Oil WEBER'S DEATH Coroner Pierce Decides that a Youth Suffered from Acute Alcoholism.

Opinions are being expressed that Frank Burns, St. Louis; Charles Coddrington, Pittsburg, and William Casey, Pittsburg, who are held in the county jail on the charge of voluntary manslaughter, resulting from the death of Ernest Weber, aged 17, that ultimately the three will be prosecuted on the charge of giving liquor to minors. Prosecuting attorney, Charles Ladd, has not yet filed formal charges

against the three, though manslaugh- j ter is the charge on which they are '

slated in the jail record book. Coroner R. J. Pierce on Monday filed his verdict as to the cause of the death of young Weber, and while he

reviewed all the evidence adduced, he !

did not blame anyone for the death of the lad. His verdict is as follows: "In view of the facts set forth I conclude that ErneBt J. Weber's death was due to acute alcoholic intoxication." The three men declare that when they met Weber, Lecel Hale, aged 15, and Elzie Ribkee, aged 16, all in a buggy driving south of the city on the afternoon of October 2, and asked for a ride and afterwards offered them drinks from a concoction which they had with them, they did not at any time suspect the three were not of age. They only asked the boys whether they wanted a drink and did not urge them to drink, they declare. Weber drank heavily each time the bottle was offered, the coroner learned from his two companions. Prosecuting Attorney Ladd is still investigating the case and has been unwilling to give out any evidence which he has secured and on which he will base his charges, whatever they may be. It is felt in official circles that the gravest offense with which the three men can be charged is involuntary manslaughter, due to the fact that they gave the boys the alsoholic drink. But there is a feeling in some quarters that the charge of giving liquor to minors will be preferred and that the men will be punished by long jail sentences. They do not deny giving the boys the liquor. The examination of the contents of Weber's stomach and liver, which was made by Dr. Robert E. Lyons of Indiana university indicates that the beverage was a new wine or cider which had undergone the alcoholic fermentation period and contained a considerable portion of alcohol.

WHIPPING POST 13 FAVORED BY MAYOR Thinks Such an Institution Would Solve the Tramp Question Here. Richmond should have a whipping post. This surprising statement was made by Mayor Zimmerman this morning at the regular meeting of the board of public works when the discussion as to what should be done to the tramps who appeal to the city for shelter at night during the winter, was brought up before the board. The mayor declared that a whipping post or a work house would help social conditions in this community. The mayor first suggested that all tramps who appear at police headquarters and ask permission to sleep in the basement be arraigned in police court on the charge of vagrancy and that they be sent to the county jail for confinement, but when reminded that the majority of the "hoboes" who have Richmond on their itinerary would be pleased to be sent to the county jail where they could secure three meal6 per day and have a warm place to sleep he said that a workhouse or whipping post should be provided. "Secretary Charles Jordan, of the Commercial club, and the township trustees are on the right track when they advocate a workhouse," said the mayor. "I have advocated a workhouse for years and we will finally get it." Invitation From Shank. The resolution passed by the township trustees of the county at their recent meeting, in which the trustees go on record as favoring a district workhouse, or penal farm, will be read before the twentieth annual conference of the State Board of Charities and Corrections at Indianapolis the latter part of this month. Mayor Zimmerman has received an invitation from Mayor Lewis Shank of Indianapolis, to attend the conference and the mayor said he would try to be there. After considerable discussion on the tramp question, the board finally decided to partition off a room in the basement of the City Building for sleeping quarters for tramps and in cidentlly appropriated $100 to erect the partition. Heretofore the tramps have been quartered in the boiler room of the city building and in thccity jail but objections were raised by Police Supt. Gormon. It was suggested at the board meet ing that if all tramps were forced to take a hot bath before being allowed to sleep in the city building that few er would apply for lodging. The opinion of City Attorney Gard ner was asked by the mayor on the question as to whether the board oi works had the power to appropriate $18 monthly for the paying of the feed bill of the horse owned by President Homer Hammond of the board ol works, Gardner declared that the board could do nothing unless an ap propriation was passed by the- citj council. A Blow For Hammond. "As we are obliged to ask council for this we will lay the motion of th board on the table," the mayor ans wered. The board discussed the joint pole agreement existing between various wire companies in this city, including the city light plant, in reference to tht death of Ora Rau, a lineman employee:

Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a little just as soon as you can. There

will be no sour risings, no belching oi undigested food mixed with acid, nc stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach.

by the city light plant, it being said that his death was due directly to the joint pole agreement. Attorney Gardner said that conditions could not be bettered by private poles, as the wires would be crossed in places. A letter received from the Indiana State university, stating that the gas used in this city would be tested free of charge providing samples were sent to the university, was read at the board meeting and Engineer Charles was instructed to send samples of the gas to the university. Attorney Gardner gave his opinion

on the question as to whether the city has the power to order property owners, who have erected houses or buildings too far on the sidewalk, to move them back on their lots. Mr. Gardner said that if the building had been erected for a number of years that the city could not do this, but otherwise it could. Abijah Pyle, property owner on North Eighteenth street, appeared before the board and declared that the board did wrong when it let the contract for a bouldered alley between Seventeenth and Eighteenth street, from North E to Railroad streets. Pyle was asked why he signed the petition for the bouldered alley when he objected to such an alley and he 6aid that he signed it because other property owners wanted it. Routine matters were discussed by the board.
