THE POOR MAN IN COURT.
If there is any one belief in. which the great
mass of the people join, it is that the poor man
i in court is at a great disadvantage compared
with the rich man. This condition, for we are
among those who believe it to be a fact, is no
reflection upon our judges, our court officials or
our laws, except that the latter provide no legal
aid for citizens in civil litigation. ,
- At a meeting of the American Bar associa
t'on in St. Louis last week Charles Evans
Hughes declared: . "There is no more serious
menace than the discontent which is fostered
bv a belief (that one cannot , enforce his legal
rights because of poverty." Thereupon Mr.
Hughes advocaled "the assurance to every one,
hovevcr poor or ignorant, that he can at any
time be vindicated of his rights under the law."
Under the existing administration, of law by
our courts only the man accused of crime is
furnished counsel by the st3te, and then only
when he is unable (to hire a lawyer himself. In
civft cases it is up to him to provide fees for
his lawyer and guarantee court costs where he
sues to protect his rights from invasion hy an
other. -r 'T
Mr. Hughes need not have con$ned his
declaration to poverty stricken citizens. With
entire safety he might have in!fCded men of
moderate means who suffer injury without ap
peal to the courts, lest if they o.nce enter into
litigation, they be stripped of their savings be
fore they can escape. Many a rank injustice
is submitted to because of this fear, which is
not wholly unjustified. We hate only to
imagine the case of a man of moderate means
who goes to court against a big corporation,
public utility, or a very wealthy BUrn, to -glimpse
the rocky road of costly continuances, appeals,
" new trials, and other technical device by which
the man with a just cause may be hectored,
discouraged, harassed and finally plundered of
his rights because of lack of money to fight for
sy.ers through alt the courts for a final de-
cisiotjr i
The people avoid the courts whenever pos
sible because of these conditions, and, Mr.
Hughes is not talking at random when he ad-
voeates measures to "assure everyone, however
poor or ignorant," his rights under our laws.
The i peech itftlf, by a mail whose Court experi
, etfee ' includes distinguished service on the su.
preme bench of the United, States, is a confes
sipn by authority that the poor do 'not gt
r their ighti in the courts of the land. We trust
it rrtiy be the beginning of a movement on the
- pat . of all connected " with courts of law
judges, lawyers, jurymen and others that' will
put the poor man on an equality .with all other
men or. organizations in our courts. .
v Poland Knows What to Depend On.
Having "had to face the danger alone," when
the Russian Bolshetiki turned the tables on her,
Poland has' learned that .' she must depend on
"her own military strength,'1 the League of Na
tions being impotent, and therefore declines to
bind herself to the "artificial boundaries" that
resulted from the dickering and grabbing at the
Peace Conference, i
The rule of nations long has been that God
helps those who help themselves, and up to,
date the era ot dainty . service to the nations,
x proclaimed by Wilson, has not set in. Peoples
the world over continue to do their own think-,
ing while the processes of national evolution
continue under the natural laws of God instead
of at. the dictation of Woodrow. Wilson, who
at one period of his career, during those glorious
days when he was feasting off royal gold dishes,
' ' and" swelling with vanity'at the adulation of
foreign kings and princes, seemed to be replac-
ing the Almighty in the eyes of hysterical people.
a," Now the world knows how artificial his fame
wis, : and what incalculable mischief he was
doing in Europe, not to mention the billions of
dollars he was costing his own country -while
attempting to straddle the affairs of the globe,
booted ajfd spurred like a Don Quixote while
the diplomats of. Europe were plucking him.

, ' , Ownership of Half a Dog.
a . "If ,t owned half of thjat dbg, I'd shoot my
half," facetiously remarked i Attorney David
Wilson, relating to a cur whose howlings dis
turbed the nocturnal peace of Dawson's Land-,
ing. And thereby he damned himself irretriev
ably, for, said the Wise Men of the community,
"if you take one-half of a gineral dog," and
'there the discussion branched off in as many
direction! as there were disputants, only to con
verge at the one common pomt, to-wit: that tne
.man who uttered the statement was "a "tarnal
' pudd'nhead," and thus immortalized him, as
also made way for , the present system of per
sonal identification by means of thumb prints.
. A New York judge is just now confronted
with the perplexity of having to determine how
to dispose of. a dog held in joint ownership by
two boys, the problem being complicated by
the fact that the dog decided on his own motion
that he belonged to one in severalty. Neither of
the joint proprietors has evinced any inclination
to summarily dispose of his half-portion of dog,
but the fact that tWr families are no longer
neighbors has givenWhe' partnership 'a tinge of
Inconvenience. Of course the old element of
: camaraderie between the, boy and the dog enters
- into the situation, to be given full weight in
whatever of consideration leads the judge to his
:- ultimate decision. i
The case is "even more interesting than that
of the cat, which held the attention of an
Omaha court for several days lately, or the quite
as noteworthy suit to quiet title in "Gentleman
Jack," a well behaved and generally desirable
bull pup to whose possession no less than three
owners laid claim. If this sort of litigation
keeps on, the home courts will not need to fear
loss of occupation when the international
tribunal at The Hague takes over all other mat
ters that are justiciable.
Blaine's Work for America.
' John Barrett has just laid down the direction
of the Pan-American union, of which he has
been managing executive for fifteen ears. This
mere statement conveys a volume to those who
have watched the course of relations between
the United States and the other governments of
the Western Hemisphere.
When Janres 6. Blaine, under President Ben
jamin Harrison, began a systematic effort to
extend and solidify relations between the South
and Central American governments and our
own country, he set the pnited States on a new
career. Until then our communication with
the nations to the south had always been on a
somewhat uncertain basis. They were a trouble
some charge, assumed under the Monroe Doc
trine, not always amenable to reason and given
at times to, such' political ebulition as was dis
disconcerting, if nothing else.
President Harrison's firmness with Chilend
the peculiar conditions that followed the over;
throw and banishment of Dom Pedro and the
establishment of a republic in Brazil, the Argen
tinian and Venezuelan revolutions, all coming
in fluick succession, gave our State departmettt
an opportunity Mr. Blaine made splendid use of,
and the first Pan-American congress held under
his invitation, opened the way to the formation
of the Pan-American union. Blaine's reciprocity
ideas were not lost sight of when Cleveland and
McKinley came on, while under Roosevelt and
Taft every effort was made to consolidate the
amicable feelings already engendered.
Sneered at by the democrats as "dollar di
plomacy," the republican presidents persisted in
their policy of cultivating closer relations with
the Central and South American nations. John
Barrett gave life and vigor to what was aif idea
only in 1890, and the great Pan-American union
is now, too firmly established to be easily dis
turbed. One of its manifestations, the ''A.-B.-C."
conference, helped President Wilson out of
a mighty awkward predicament at 4era Cruz,
while the many other eviden4.es ot its good
influences may be traced in growing commerce
between the two continents.
We do not hear anything of "dollar diplo
macy," now that the Bryan record, and that Wil
son's' "internationalism" have succeeded, but the
Pan-American union, conceivefl by Blaine, fos
tered by McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and de
veloped by Barrett has not only justified ,the
hopes that sent Foster and other friendly em
issaries to visit , the nations with whom we
sought closer communion, but it stands as an
enduring monument to the notion that the
American republics are really one in interest, in
ideals, jn hopes and in aspirations.
Side Lights on Eugene Field.
Collier's has an exquisite story by Melville
E. Stone of his personal and business associa
tions with Eugene Field, the brilliant writer :
whose '.'Sharps and Flats" in a Chicago paper
years ago won attention all over the country by
their wit, humor, pathos and unvarying interest.
It is hard to think of the' tender author of "Little
B,oy Blue" as a cut-up," but at times his pranks
and practical jokes were excruciatingly funny.
Speaking of them and of Field, Mr. Stone s,ays:
I We went to the theater. They were sing-
mg "The Mikado," with Roland Reed as Koko.
We sat well down in front, i Suddenly while
Reed was singjng one of his best lines, Field,
who was an actor of great ability, screwed
his face into unspeakable shape ajid poor ,
Reed was forced to" stop and begin all over
again. Often if there was a child in the seat
back of him,. Field would turn and- make a
face which would set the infant bawling. The
mother, having no idea of the cause, would
search in vain for an offending pin,, while
, Field's sides were shaking with delight. . Yet
again he and I were seated near the stage, and
"East Lynne," or some equally tear-forcing
play was being produced. At the moment of
nigh tension, when there was profound silence
throughout the house, there burst out a loud
"Hal haj ha I" and thch Field turned to a
quiet old gentleman seated, by his side and
silently denounced him with a loolc of amaze-
mcnt and condemnation. The audience took
sit up and all recognized the poor old fellow
as the culprit. He blushed and, when the cur
tain fell, quietly took his hat and slipped out, ,
and did not return. Field, who was alsnost
a ventriloquist, was the real offender. .
Poor Field 1 He died in his sleep at 4o vrhen
at the summit of his literary achievements. ,
"Pitiless Publicity." .
Another of fhe forgotten resolutions of the
president has to do with "pitiless publicity."
This particularly applies to the foreign relations
of the United States, which are entirely in tht
hands of the president Mr. Wilson and his sec
retary of state (whose mind must run along with
that of his chief, on peril of ignominious ouster)
have the information, but how much does the
public know? . Senator Harding was asked one
day lately his opinion of theTusso-Polish crisis,
and replied: "Owing to the meager inside in
formation the rest of us receive, no one but the
president and possibly the secretary of state .can
comment on any foreign situation. As for me,
notwithstanding my position on the' foreign
relations committee of the United States senate,
never have had full information on foreign af
fairs." The policy of "pitiless publicity" has
been changed to one of "keepit dark." But Sen
ator Harding is under pledge to jeverse this, and
maybe after March 4, 1921, the senate at leas!
can find out what our foreign relations are.
Nebraska's state prisoners raised and har
vested a crop of more than 4,000 bushels of

To one sample he returned; apparently this was

At least we assumed he meant "whiffter." Being

TRAINING HEALTH OFFICERS
The state of Pennsylvania has been
doing something new in a health
way. or, rather, something old hi a
new way. Some of the states have
been holding schools for health-of
ficers for nearly, if not quite, twen
ty years.
Others more recently began the
practice, but, old or new-, a meeting
of health officers with something like
a school of instruction is held now in
nearly every state.
As a rule, health officers are very
poorly paid. They do not stay in
office long. There are few facilities
for training them before they get in
to office. Since health work is far
more important than police or fire
work, and since the men come inMin
trained and quit in a few years at
most, the states-as a rule have seen
the, advantage of providing an an
nual course of instruction. v
Pennsylvania took this old slant
and worked out a new way of doing
it. Health Commissioner Martin re
cently escaped from the army, so his
mind ran to the military method. He

half remaining at home. Then He
ordered the remainder in for the
second tamp, lasting two weeks, and
sent tha first camp of trained men
home to carry both their own work
and that of those in camp.
There are said to be 6.000 health
officers of one kind or another in
Pennsylvania. Reveille sounded at
6:30 a. m. Assembly for setting up
exercises was at 6:45. At 8 thf call
for "policing" the grounds was
sounded. At 8:25 school call. Taps
tucked the assemblage in bed.
'Aside from the practical health

find mental hygiene. A few citiesU
now have divisions of mental hy
giene, but the subject has seldom
been brought to county health of
ficers as one of their ' duties, ex
cept where the county health officer
passes on Insanity. Even in those
states the mental hygiene only re
lates to prevention indirectly. There
were lectures, on home economics,
pasteurization of milk, school hy
giene, oral hygiene, nursing, child
welfare, and all kinds of sanitary
engineering problems. The subject
relating to control of various kinds
of contagion came in for extended
discussion.
