Lawyers and Free Justice.
A hot debate Is on in Kansas City
orer tho proposal by the leading
newspaper there, tho Kansas City
Star, that Justice be mado froo to tbo
extent of the Btato furnishing the
lawyers for all litigation Just as it
now furnishes tho judges and the
Juries and tho stenographers. Tho
lawyora naturally do not take kindly
to the Idea which, If It accomplished
Its object, would put most of thom
out of business. Tho nub of the
Btars's novel proposition Is found In
the following:
The eosentlal meaning of the term
"lawyer" Is "one who It learned In the
law." There should be enough men
learned In the law, attached to the
courts and paid by society to determine
all questions of justice brought Into the
courts.
Questions ot Justice and law are now
determined by men learned In the law
and paid by eoelety, tho judges. The
other men learned. In the law and -paid
by private Interests, the attorneys. Are
In the courts chiefly to confuse the
judges, to delay the trials and to take
up the time of the courts. With Justice
free, the privately paid attorneys would
be supplanted by public court eommls
slons of men learned in the law. Such
commissions would have two main du
ties the first, to examine every suit pre
sented for docketing-, reject the demon
strably unmerltorlous suite and file the
others on the docket.
The second duty would be to present
the facts In the case and the points of
law Involved, to old the Judges In declar
ing the Justice of the matter. Or two
commissions could perform for each
court those two related but separate
duties.
The saving In this would be prodigious
both In money and time. Fictitious or
malicious lawsuits would practically die.
appear. As wealth would not enable one
man or corporate Interest to purchase a
better advocate than another, Justice
would be rqual.
Thero would be no large (or small)
croup of Influential and Intellectual men
with a personal Interest In promoting
business for the courts and In controlling
the rule of court procedure. Conse
quently, technical rules and costly de
lays would disappear.
If the same Intellectual power that Is
now 'employed for confusing; the admin
istration of justice, nnd for delaying It
were employed for simplifying the ad.
mlnstratlon ef justice or else were turned
Into constructive, useful channel-then
society would receive an auxiliary beneftt
from Justice free.
The unanswerable principle In the de
mand for free justice Is thin: No man
should be permitted to pay for Injustice
No man should be forced to pay for
justice.
Wo Just submit this to our lawyer
friends and their cltonts to ponder on.
Moral Effeoti Physical Causes.
Those coworsant with the sltua
tlon assort that one effect of tho
physical Improvement of our public
school buildings is reflected In tho
general toning up of the moral and
physical life surrounding them In
different portions of the city. This
seems a very reasonable conclusion,
for' It would be strange, Indeed, It
days and months and years spent in
spleadtd, ' model buildings did not
hare the effect of helping to shape
the ideals ot tho children. It Is but
another illustration of the well
known law of tho lnfluenoe ot en
vironment. But not only the children
are said to be thus benefited, but
likewise the parents. The result is
u higher level ot home life In these
communities. Even proporty has
been improved in some instances,
seemingly as a direct result of tho
proximity of tho great, modern, sanl-J
tary school houso.
It is doubtful it any city sur
passes Omaha in the possession ot
excellent schools, not tho least out
standing feature ot which is their
physical appearance and equipment.
All this, ot course, costs money, lota
of it, bat what better investment
could any city make than tho intel
lectual, moral and physical culture
and refinement of its children. What
other asset has Omaha that is more
important than its children?
Mexico Again.

Russian Blood Trial
New fork Evening Post (Editorial).
The trial at Kiev, the ancient religious
capital of Russia, of the Jewish working
man, Mendel Bellies, on the charge of
murdering a young Christian boy In con
nection with the celebration ot the Jew
ish Passover, bids fair to run the same
course aa the most famous blood-ritual
trial of modern times, that of Tleza-Esz-
lar In Hungary thirty-one years ago,
except in one Important feature. At
Tlsza-Esxtor the court was In session
for six weeks before the monstrous con
spiracy waa exposed with such dramatic
completeness that the public prosecutor
was compelled to withdraw from the
case. At Kiev the trial Is hardly under
way, and already Its collapse Is regarded
as Imminent We printed yesterday the
story of the furious onslaught on the
judicial authorities by the leading antl-
Semitic organ of that city. In that ex
traordinary document there Is no at
tempt to mince words. The authorities
are excoriated for their failure In the
conduct of what turns out to be, not tho
trial of an individual for murder, but a
campaign having for Its object the fix
ing of a hideous charge upon the Jewish
people, an accusation which waa ex
pected to show Immediate results In the
shape ot poxrom and massacre, and per
manent results In the continuation and
strengthening of tho policy of inhuman
oppression under which the Jews labor
today in "constitutional" Russ'a.
The method of judicial procedure that
obtain on the continent generally were
favorable to the designs of the "black
hundred." The elaborate magistrate's ex
amination la In reality a trial before tho
real trial, at least so far as the public
Is concerned. It was during such prelimi
nary proceedings, when the accused en
joys few ot the guarantees or justice
which even the Russian government ac
cords to the defendant In o?en court, that
the fomenters ot race hatred had their
opportunity. Their evil accusations were
cast abroad without being subjected to
the test ot cross-examination. It was be
fore the actual trial occurred that tho
antl-Semltta leadurs expected to reap the
first fruits ot their campaign. If the pas
sions ot the Russian mob could not be
stirred before the convening of the court,
there was small chance that the desired
result would be attained when the taking
and testing of testimony began and the
Tabrlc of Vicious falsehood was exposed.
The anti-Semltlo leaders, who are now
furious at the weakness ot the govern
ment's "case," were bound to repudiate
any "case" that the government could
formulate on the hypothesis that the
young Christian boy was the victim ot
Jewish ritualist fanatics. For more than
two years the accused. Mendel Belllss.
has been In prison awaiting trial. If no
antl-Jewsh. uprising occurred in that time
the "black hundred" was bound to recog
nize that the game was up.
The Indictment as presented In open
court at Kiev makes Interesting reading,
especially to lawyers, we Imagine. In
stead of trying to show that there had
been a murder, that Uie accused Belllss
was tho murderer, and that his motives
were religious, the document sets out to
demonstrate the existence of a blood
ritual among the Jews. In support of
Its contention It can rally the authority
ot a professor of mental pathology at
Kiev university and a Catholics priest.
The Indictment admits that two other
experts to whom the question was re
ferred declared against the existence ot
such a ritual. So weak is the govern
ment's own case by confession It can
hardly be necessary to enter here Into
a detailed resume of the overwhelming
mass of testimony that has been gathered
In the course of centuries to disprove
the existence of any basis for this hid
eous accusation. Christian scholars and
ecclesiastics have been at pains to re
fute this slander against a whole people.
The two most convincing presentations
of the subject are by a German Catholic
Priest. F. Frank, who published "Der
Rltualmord" some ten years ago, and by
a Lutheran clergyman and scholar, Ho it-
man L. Strack, professor of theology at
Berlin university. Prof. Strack enumer
ates a long list of papal bulla from In
nocent IV In the thirteenth century to
Clement XIII In the eighteenth century,
denouncing the blood accusation against
the Jews as false and malicious. But,
unfortunately, such appeals to reason
are addressed to men of enlightenment
and education who are In no need ot be
ing convinced. The Russia peasant to
day, like the Hungarian peasant of thirty
years ago. does not come Into touch with
the writings ot Berlin professors.
And so In Russia today the procedure
of the accusers Is the same as In Hun
gary thirty years ago. The case has Its
rise In political and racial animosities.
It' alms to rouse the posspns ot the
crowd; and when It Is forced to run the
gauntlet of Judicial 'examination It col
lapses. The parallel between Tlsza.
Esslar and Kiev runs close. At Tlsza
Eszlar the principal witness for the
prosecution was the 14-year-old son of
one ot the defendants. He was fright
ened Into submission and coached for his
role by the police. His cross-examination
brought out the truth. At Kiev the prin
cipal witness for the prosecution Is a
little girl ot 9, who claims to have re
ceived Information of the crime from
her sister and her brother, both of whom
have been dead these two years. The
brother waa 7 at the time ot the alleged
murder. No wonder that the leaders of
the true Russians are furious with the
prosecuting attorney, or that In exalted
quartars at Bt. Petersburg, where Inter
est In the case has been displayed, It has
been recognised for some time that the
accusation ot ritual murder ought to tie
dropped and an attempt made to con
vict Belllss as an ordinary assassin.
The disappointment of the leaders of
the "Black Hundred" wtth the showing
made by the Judicial and police author
ities at Kiev must be all the more poig
nant because in that city. If anywhere In
Russia, tha police might be expected to
prove Itself efficient. A little over two
years ago Prime Minister Stolypln waa
assassinated at Kiev In the presence of
the czar. The part played by the police
authorities on that occasion has remained
one ot those subjects which In Russia are
Investigated and allowed to disappear
from public notice. After the removal of
a prime minister, the manufacture of a
ritual murder case ought to have been a
simple task. The editor ot the antl.

OMAHA, Oct y. To the Editor of The

advocate of segregation (?). If he means
real segregation of every person affected,
both men and women, Into hospitals until

he means holding the wretched women

In Itsolf allowing men to go and come,
placing the added Incentive of a false
security by his so-called "compelled and
forced Inspection," spreading the dis
eases far and wide, as has always been
the effect of such a course, I disagree.
Every thorough Investigator, every au
thority on this subject, will tell you that
that course Is a failure. Europe has
worked It for centuries and now Is be
ginning to discard It, as only making
things worse, and whenever segregation

with the result that It Isn't segregated
anyway.
Many complain that vice spreads to the
'best residence districts." Tell me why
a "best reeldenter" has any more right
to have It kept from his neighborhood
than the poor who must neighbor with it
If "segregated," when It Is mbre brazen
and pernicious. "Best resldenter" has
probably helped bring on the bad con
dition with his vote, and ho probably
can fight It better than the wretched
poor farther down town. InVtther case
It's pitted against a mother trying to
bring up clean sons and daughters
against frightful odds. Authorities also
agree that tho way to fight It Is through
education, to brush from men's minds
tho old lies that have been Invented by
Ignorant men (probably M. D.) to Justify
their pojygamy. And In the meantime
the state has no business to go into
partnership with It and It half the state
were women it certainly wouldn't.
Let the M. D,'s stand solidly for' re
porting and quarantlng social diseases
like they do baby diseases that aren't
nearly so prevalent or dangerous, and
are In fact according to many author
ities, taints of these same social diseases.
Another thing that must be done Is to
make it possible for women to earn as
much In a decent occupation as she can
by being- Immoral. Why, I ask, do you
men pay women so much more to lead
vile lives than to do honest' labor.
The M. D. should read the health cir
cular gotten out by the Indiana State
Board ot Health, "Social Hygiene vs.

with othtr organizations already trying
to spread knowledge so that a hindrance
to these scourges may at last be de
