UNITED STATES JUDGE SPEAKS TO LAWYERS dealing with those who stand accused. "The trial by fire, and other ordeals to which men were subjected in an earlier and ruder clay to determine their guilt or innocence we now con sider barbarisms," he said, and added, "It is entirely within reason to believe that within a century our methods of trial and our treatment of those convicted will appear in the same light to the students of that day." Crime, Judge Woods point ed out, is not a stable quantity. Acts which were adjudged crimes a century ago are no longer such, and acts which were considered innocent at that time are now violations of the law. In view of this varia ble quality of crime, it is folly for men to suppose that the last word on the subject has been spoken, he argued. Among the acts which re cent tende:cies have made crimes he included the main tenance and patronizing of lot teries, drunkenness and im moral acts. The rapidly grow ing power of the federal gov ernmert in construing and dealing with crime was noted. "The postotlice department and the inter-State commerce commission have been made agents of the government in prosecuting a large number of offenders," he declared. He pointed out that the sending of obscene or fraudulent letters through the mails had been made serious offenses and the potency of inter-State com merce as a developer of crime was illustrated through the Webb liquor law which pre vents the shipping of liquor into dry States. The recent act preventing the shipment of goods made by child labor in inter-State commerce was mentioned as the present limit of the tendency to utilize inter State commerce as an enforcer of law. Not only are new crimes be ing evolved and new methods of enforcing the will of the government being devised, .Jud(ge Woods dleclared, but hlappily a more humaen atti tuce toward the criminal is be ing adlopted. He spoke of the rapid development of crimninol ogy as one of the exact sciences and predicted that the newer view of crime will be that it s PRESBY [ERIANS EASY FOR CAROLINA QUIN' (CONTINI'I) IF' M I' (1 ONE.)

The will, of course, is tremendously important, he said, but it may be destroyed hy the other two. In view of that fact he contended that it is wrong for society to demand of such an abnormal person hal he lead a normal life. Judge Woods attributed to he alienation of women from the functions of government he present harsh attitude to. --ard the laws of the State. "Covernment has become too masculine, robbed of sweet ess and charity through the long derial of woman her right to participate in it," he declar ed, and predicted that with the spread of the feminist move ment there will also go a wide ,pread development of the hu manitarian ideal in govern ment. "Older methods of dealing vith crime did more to spread crime than to suppress it," he declared, stating that while men were deterred from crime by the fear of punishment they were not deterred by the se verity of punishment, and that jails had often been breeding places for the germs of crime. ~STUDENTS VISrr Rialto THE STATE BOOK STORE IS NEAREST TO YOU Carolina men are invited to drop in here for Pens, Pencils, Ink, Rul era, Examination Pads, or anything in Stationery.
