U. (Non-Sectarian. Non-Partisan.) Judges Testify. Judges Testify. "I wish minisrers would vssit the police courts once in awhile.

as there 18 work for them to do. I want to give you a few figures. Their are eight police courts in this borough, and the salaries of their magistrates and other attendants aggregate $150,000 a year. These eight magistrates in the last year have passed on 70,000 cases, so that I may say there are about 3000,000 people who visit a police court every year. Counting up loss of time, jail and other expenses, I think $1,000,000 a year would be a conservative estimate of what crime costs Brooklyn.

We have in the police court every grade of wrong doing, from the nursery squabble up to murder, but ninety per cent of all the cases are the outgrowth of intoxication. Rum is responsible for all this crime. All these broken hearts must come into the police Bristow, Butler street court, Brooklyn. "Intemperance is the greatest curse and the most potent cause of misery from which this nation suffers. Twenty six years of judicial life, and fortysix in constant attendance in the criminal courts as advocate or judge, are enough to enable any man to form an opinion as to the extent of the mischief caused by drunkenness.

I am sure I speak well within the mark when I say that more than one half were directly connected with excesgive -Lord Justice Denman, England. "I have heard people say that it takes a funny man to be a police magistrate. I say that a magistrate who descends to twitting unfortunate prisoners and making people laugh because others are miserable is not fit to hold the place. There are funny things that happen in a police court, but there is no reason for poking at the poor wretched ones. After all that which blows into and out of a police court is pure misery.

Rum is undoubtedly the great cause of -Chas. E. Teal, Magistrage, Myrtle Ave. Court, Brooklyn. Illinois judges upon a late inquiry testify as follows: "We cannot shut out of view the fact, within the knowledge of all, that the public health, the public morals and the public safety may be in danger by the general use of intoxicating liquors, nor the fact, established by statistics accessible to every one, that the idleness, disorder, pauperism and crime existing in the country are, in some degree at least, traceable to the evil." Justice Jacob W.

Wilkin, of the Illinois state supreme court, replied by quoting the above from the U.S. Supreme court. use of intoxicating liquors causes many divorces, what proportion it is impossible to tell. Crimes of personal violence, with no element of robbery, are frequently caused by intoxicants, my, observance being that onehalt of all fights, murders and assaults where no robbery or theft is intended, result from this cause. Temperance would tend to lessen crime.

-A. N. Waterman, Chicago. Reports from the judges of the circuit court as follows: "The use of intoxicating liquors is the curse of curses. During a period of fifteen years on the bench I have observed that at least half the crime and half the divorces are directly or indirectly traceable to the drink habit.

The habit is the mother of W. Herdman, Jersey ville. "Probably half the divorce suits that come into the circuit courts are traceable to the drink evil. It is the most fruitful source of pauperism, crime, riot, disorder, insanity and death known of. -John D.

Crabtree, Dixon. "That the liquor habit has caused many divorses, increased court expenses and cent many to the penitentiary and the poor house, every man who has been circuit court judge in Illinois must A. Harker. Carbondale. expesience has been that the drink habit causes divorces, family differences, brawlings, poverty, idleness, insanity and murder.

At least onethird of our court expense is due to this cause." -Jefferson Orr, Pittsfeld. my statement is indefinite, would say that I have a general notion that a large proportion of both crimes and divorces can be directly traced to the use of liquor. P. Vail, Decatur. 44T have sent 250 men to the penitentiary, and it is my judgment that all of them committed the crime directly or indirectly on account of drink." Thomas F.

Tipton, Bloomington, "I have no doubt that a large percentage of crime Is traceable directly or indirectly to the excessive use of intoxicants." -A. K. Vickers, Vienna. "Most prisoners who confess their crimes charge the cause of it to intoxication." -J. R.

Roberts, Cairo. "No one questions the evil of the drink habit." -John C. Garver, Rockford. "Divorces are particularly traceable to the drink habit." -James Shaw, Mt. Carroll.

It may not be improper for this grand jury to record bere its findings that a vast wajority of the cases that have claimed its attention have clearly arisen, directly or indirectly, from the presence of the liquor saloon in our midst. -The Cook County (Chicago) Grand Jury, March 2, 1901, after a session of two weeks. County Correspondence. Pawnee Items. Dr.

Will Swain went to Cato last Thursday. The supper was a success for some people. The farmers around Pawnee are planting corn. The supper netted the church about eight dollars. Miss Elsie Miller and brother, David, were the guests of Miss Bertha Longshore Sunday.

Misses Bertha Longshore and Elsie Miller, D. J. and 0. C. Miller were guests at Mr.

Thos. Basham's Sunday. Jim Evans, of Cato, was in Pawnee Monday. David Orvell Miller is hauling corn for Mr. Samuel Cooper this week.

This will be a long dry spell it it don't rain. John Green and Clarence Hall were the guests of Mr. Klocksen's Sunday. Otto Emmette has gone to war. We regret to part with our friend.

Frank Green went to Fort Scott Monday. Mr. Will Swain went to Hiattville Saturday. Martin Miller was the guest of Mr. Huss Sunday.

Roy Deesler was home Sunday. Jesse Miller is attracted out southwest of Pawnee. Now if he will tell the June Bug where to go he would be glad to go for him and save him all that trouble. George Ater carred hay last week. Mr.

Chad Brown, of the Catodrilling was in Pawnee Monday. Miss Marie Klocksen was the guest of Miss Blaza Sunday. Judging from cortain things the June Bug thinks that John Grenn is a little "too The Triple Tie at Pawnee is a grand success, it has about forty-four members at present. The following officers were elected: President, Martin Miller; Past Stanley Smith; Vice I. E.

Morrison; Secretuary, John Green; Treasurer, J. L. Beeman; Chaplain, Miss Hilda Huss; Conductor, Clarence Hall; Guard, Miss Grace Green; Sentinel, S. L. Beeman.

I. E. Morrison went to Pittsburg Saturday. Mr. McWilliams and daughter Grace were in Pawnee Tuesday.

Miss Grace Green is working for Mrs. Lizzie Deesler. Some old hen must have gobbled up the cricket and the grasshopper as I see no more traces from their pen. Mr. Will Swain went to Fort Scott Wednesday.

Dick Johnson is in Pawnee again. Mr. Andy Cutter, of Cato, was Pawnee Monday. JUNE BuG. Most varieties of best table and seed sweet potatoes, just across the street from former Dil worth hardware store.

Hiattville Items. R. T. Williams was in Kansas City last week. Art Case went south Sunday.

T. Matthews and S. Odgers were in the county seat Friday. Andy Thomas, who has had a very severe case of small-pox is convalescing. Mr.

Byers, who is editing the Ironton Eagle of Ironton, is visiting with relatives west of this place. Several of the Royal Neighbors from this place, attended the supper given by the Fort Scott camp, Wednesday evening. As was predicted by the giraffe, the thief who was so foolish as to carry off the cutlery from the Hardware store, returned the same last week. Small-pox is all over. The number will of cases that Hiattville has had reach two hundred, including the death of a little child.

It has been whispered as a great secret, that word was sent out from Fort Scott just to hold up a little the bootlegging just for a little time, at least, until the excitement blows over. It would not do you know for a G. O. P. to fill the jail with G.

O. Ps. from Hiattville. Hence the warning. A heinous and dastardly assault was committed in our village Saturday night.

Some miscreants threw rocks through the window of the depot and awoke the agent who stays there part of the time lately. It was terrible. Hiattville is already talking about having a grand celebration the fourth of July. Among the attractions talked of is greased pole climbing, wheeling a wheelbarrow blindfolded, but the most exciting will be to see who can get through the most wire fences in a given time; but as Coy will probably enter the last mentioned race all others will throw up their hands for Coy holds the championship in that game.
