Judge Ruppenthal said 'recently
"Lawyers for the defense in criminal
cases are won't to talk about the
'great state of Kansas' and how weak
and insignificent a poor unfortunate
defendant is. when compared with
the state and its power and wealth.
But while this makes a fine figure to
use in appealing to a jury, the cold,
painful fact is that by constitution
and laws and interpretation and cus
tom, the state has been bound hand
and foot, blindfolded and gagged and
made inferior, weaker and more
helpless than the average defendant
on almost every point. This in part
accounts for the disrespect for law
the escape of criminals and ' the mis
carriage of justice."
G. M. Ufford writes to friends from
Florida that the weather is very hot
and enumerates the following con
ditions: ocean breezes, mosquitoes,
flies, bacon, sweet potatoes and fish
but no frost this year. It is very dry
jwid no prospect of rain or crops thus
far. Butter is "40c pound, eggs 50c
dozen. He reports that all are feel
ing fine and working out doors' each
day and that little clothing is re
quired and only sheets are used on
the bed, as the weather is so hot.
Judging from this condensed report
so aptly put by Mr. Ufford, we can
say that Trego county is not the
worst place in the world. And when
you consider we have had good crops
for sixteen years we don't need to be
discouraged over this as we are going
to have a crop next year.
