UnIBANDAGE EYE OF JUSTICE.
A recent editorial of the Sat
urday Evening Post refers to
the cause of Andrew Toth, proved
innocent of murder 20 years af
ter life sentence to tlie peniten
tiary.
The writer suggests the crying
need of legislation which will
provide redress and at least 11
. nancial restitution to such un
fortunates as Toth.
B|Ut while we are at it, why
not go a step farther and crusade
for a broader justice?
A few weeks ago a New York
attorney, disbarred from practice
for alleged misdemeanors, was
shown guiltless of the charges
upon which he had been deprived
of livelihood, honor, friends and
name.
It was not only the blindness
of justice which wrecked his life,
but the open-eyed conspiracy of
a powerful corporation reveng
ing itself upon an honest lawyer
successfully prosecuting the
damage suit of an injured child.
Time, the great solvent of lies,
at last exposed the details of the
vile plot. Documents, as well as
confessions, established the fact
that a great railway company was
responsible for this outrage and
that its officials endorsed the acts
of (he directly responsible subor
dinates.
Now, a broken, haggard, emp
ty-hearted old-young man is
“generously” permitted by the
community to take up his work
where “Justice,” some 12 years
ago, checked bis activities.
Aside iron) I he restoration ul
specfability, restitution comes
empty-handed.
Hi's parents dead, poisoned
with humililion at the disgrace
of their son—his fortune dissa
pated in the light to cleanse away

months after jilting him, wiLhout

it. stands, denies this man com
pensation of any sort, 'simply be
cause the acts of oppression and
conspiracy committed against
him occurred 12 years ago, aiid
under the statute of limitations,
even the perpetrators of such a
crime are absolved from punish
ment.

they are libelous, indecent, or
are intended to promote crooked

BASEBALL. BULLETINS.
(By George Fitch).
The baseball bulletin is the
modern substitute for a dog light
on the street. Owing to the in
creasing scarcity of dogs, which
can be proven by a reference to
any tax list and also to the
growing demand for originality
in entertainment, an ordinary
one-round dog fight on a city
stregt is not only a rare occur
rence, but draws poorly when it
is pulled oft'.
There was a time when any
well conducted city could boast
of a dozen dog lights in an af
ternoon and each one paralyzed
business for 10 minutes. Nowa
days, one light a week is the av
erage, and usually one or both
combatants are run over by an
automobile before they have got
ten a good hold on each other.
It is into this dearth of en
tertainment and excitement,
which was rapidly making our
city streets a dreary monotony,
that the baseball bulletin has
come with its extra-inning sus
pense and its variegated heart
throb. The baseball bulletin now
draws better than the lire de
partment or a new and audacious
skirt. From 3:30 to 5:30 p. m.
the bulletin,* in a thousand cit
ies arc paralyzing traffic and
making engagements as uncer
tain as the stock market. For
these two hours all summer long,
clerks and capitalists, ministers
an/1 bartenders, retired farmers
and soubrettes stand shoulder to
shoulder efore the newspaper of
fices of the land wondering in ag
onized suspense if the red-head
ed boy on the Hying gallery is
going to hang another goose egg
up for the home team or if the
opposing pitcher will kindly con
sent to blow up in the forthcom
ing inning.
Writers of the human soul no
longer haunt the hospitals and
cemeteries for their inspiration.
They mingle in the throngs be
fore the bulletin board and study
the dark anguish, the cold dis
gust, the paralyzed amazement
and the whoopful joy which can
be found there in unlimited
quantities each day.
The bulletin board is a boon to
business. It shows it up for two
hours each afternoon. It is also
a boon to the patient husband
who no longer waits at his place
of appointment with watch in
hand, from 3 p. m. until dark
while his wife examines every
shop window for 19 blocks on her
way to meet him. He waits be
fore the bulletin board instead
and arrives two hours late, and
jus) in time to receive his wife
in a kind and forgiving spirit just
as '-she hurries in.
Mankind in America has I,
(300,000,000 waking hours at its
disposal every day. Of this
amount it spends aout 10,000,000
a day before baseball bulletin
boards. Advertisers of new and
durable automobiles and break
fast foods would do well to note
this fact.
