LAWS AND LAWYERS
Taken man for man, it is probable
that the lawyers of the country illus
trate as high a type of citizenship as
can be found in the ranks of any
other profession or calling. It is not,
therefore, the purpose of this article
to cast any reflection upon lawyers,
collectively or individually, so far as
their integrity is concerned.
It is nevertheless true that law
yers are in the main to blame for the
multiplicity of laws with which this
country is burdened today, as well
as for the dilatory tactics exhibited
by our courts of high and low' degree.
Some time ago the Illinois Bar
Association declared that “the sub
ject of law' reform is technical and
the lawyers must deal with it, yet
they do nothing, or are hopelessly
divided.” No less an authority than
Chief Justice Taft condemned our
present system of criminal precedure.
A similar expression was made in a
resolution of the American Bar Asso
ciation.
Congress and state legislatures are
dominated by lawyers; all laws are
framed by lawyers, (many of them
to be later declared unconstitutional
by other lawyers acting in the capa
city of judges); all court procedure
is established by lawyers — yet the
highest authorities among them ad
mit that they have made a sorry
rness of it all.
What is the remedy? We don’t
know. Ask a lawyer.
A BROAD CREED
Deploring the present tendency to
antagonism over morals and beliefs,
an able writer and publicist has at
tempted to set out a common creed
to which all right thinking persons
might subscribe, leaving out those
questions on which there are honest
differences of opinion.
Included in the set of principles
enjoined are these:
Seek the truth and defend it; exe
cute justice, tempered with mercy;
be humble and benevolent; work and
do not prevent others from working;
protect life and health; develop body
and mind; strive for pure thoughts
and feelings; honor parents and
•teachers and be civil to all; be loyal,
liberal and tolerant; seek peace; aid
in achieving the brotherhood of man.
If everyone would make an honest
effort to illustrate these fundamental
virtues, it wrould not be long until
the world would be a much better
place in which to live.

Drink Evil in Germany
Described Increasing
BERLIN, June 23. (/P)—Local option
as a means of checking the exces
sive dispensation of alcoholic drinks
was demanded by the Berlin Federa
tion of Welfare Workers at the end
of a week of propaganda meetings
held here recently. For moral, cul
tural and economic reasons it was
believed that the communes must be
given the right to determine wheth
er or not, and how many licenses,
for the dispensation of liquor should
be granted.
In the course of the debates upon
this resolution it was pointed cut
that in one year jail terms aggre
gating 45,000 years had been impos
ed by the courts for drunkenness.
Alcohol consumption, it was stated
had increased alarmingly since the
World war, and the jails and insane
asylums were filled in consequence.
The Federation of Welfare Work
ers is an inter-denominational body,
in which all creeds are represented.
