John H. Wigmore Delivers Lecture on Legal Systems
Colored Slides Are Used in Describing Ancient Law Court Customs
Customs
To learn the evolution of law, one must take a survey of the different legal systems that have existed," said John H. Wigmore, dean of the School of Law of Northwestern University, in his lecture on legal systems. He used color slides to illustrate the lecture.
Dean H. W, Arant of the School of Law at the University described the illustrated lecture as an impressionistic reconstruction in pictorial panorama and monolog. It represents the first attempt to teach legal history and comparative law with colored stereotypical lantern slides.
"There have been sixteen systems of law," said Dean Wigmore. "By legal system I do not mean merely the means of enforcing law used by tribes, but the really complicated legal systems that have existed."
Slides Show Life of People
Of the 16 systems of law the lecture concerned five: Egyptian, Greek Babylonian, Chinese and Roman. It tells about each of them he used to explain the life of the people, the outstanding things about their civilization, the kinds of courts they had, and then slides showing documents that have been unearthened by archaeologists.
Slides Show Life of People
"Menses the Egyptian, was the first law-wizard," continued Dean Wigmore. "At that time the fortress of justice was the palace." (Here slides a screenshot showing the Egyptian palaces were shown). "The palace was the location of the Egyptian ruling system. The king, sole legislator, judge, and ruler of the land held his court in the palace where justice there was came from the king.
Some of the interesting things Den Wigmore mentioned in connection with the Ethenylian system were that it was more like a modern alphabet had been developed; a promissory note of that time show that interest was known and used by that people; and they could learn it from their son who wished to leave home.
Chinese System Discussed
Next consideration was given the Chinese legal system. "The one unique thing about it is the fact that they have to obey the several that existed those many centuries ago. It was influenced greatly by the philosophy of Confucius who believed that men should try to do as their ancestors had wished that they do; who believed in government by men and not by gods; who believed that men were responsible if that the rules were poor the government would be more poorly."
Interesting things brought out about the Greek legal system were; that it was on the order of a democratic government; that a jury of three members was appointed to the criminal cases, and that in some cases there were as many as two thousand jurors; that majority vote was all that was needed to convict; and that each tribe or city of Greece practiced a government in itself.
By the time of the Romans there was developed a professional judge who was not king or priest, but who noted as judge only.

Prof. F. M. Dawson Speaks to C. of C on Repairs for Dam
Reply Is Made to Argument Presented by Farmers Against Project
Arguing the necessity of repairing the Kaw river dam, Prof. F. M. Dawson, in charge of hydraulic engineering at the University of Arizona, taught at Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Professor Dawson's talk was in reply to arguments presented against these improvements by Fred Laptad, representing the firm.
According to Professor Dawson, the dam has for some time been in poor condition and requires improvements which are necessary, the commission of engineers who reported on the project advocate the use of "flash boards" or automatic control devices.
These "fish-boards," which are up in times of low water, failing automatically in flood times, are in common use throughout the country. It is believe that it is upon their use that GIF farms are being their objections.
Professor Dawson is a member of the commission of engineers appointed by the public utilities commission to inquire into the condition of this commission and the condition of this commission stated that repairs to the dam are unjustifiable.
Members of the commission include the chief engineer of the eastern lines of the Santa Fe railroad the government engineer in charge of the Mias
soori river and its tributaries; the chief engineers of the city of Lawrence and Douglas county; Prof. H. A. Rice, of the University; Proofer of the University; Professor of the Kansas State Agricultural College and Prof. F. M. Dawson.

Metz Offers $103,000
Discovery of Morphine Process Will Bring Prize
The offer of a $100,000 award by Herman A. Metz for the discovery of a process for the cheap manufacture of synthetic morphine, calls public attention to the possibility that the chemist may at any moment upset the best laid plans of legislators and financiers, as he has often done before. If the Metz prize, or the still greater pecuniary profits of the process, should institute such a discoveries, it would regulate and the complicated notations for international control would at once become fatal.
The opium crop of India might be wiped out as was the indigo crop by the discovery of synthetic Indigo in 1962. The British conscience would be relieved of the temptation to maintain an open opium market which caused Great Britain in 1840 to make a strong campaign against her to block the recent attempts of the League of Nations to suppress the traffic.
Although the number of drug addicts in the United States has decreased since the passage of the anti-drug laws in 1970, and 1990 and 1994 according to the estimates of the U. S. Public Health Service. So there is still a market for the illicit traffic but we may hope that the manufacture of such drugs will be restricted to do it, may be so centralized in a few factories that it may be kept under close supervision. Possibly the patients could be put under the control of the League of Nations or of a federal agency, such as the international police conference.
The offer of the $100,000 prize indicates that a satisfactory method of making synthetic morphine is yet unknown to the public, though some chemist may come forward any day with the formula.
Governor Rex P. Saluán will be on the 53rd annual commencement program of the University of Kansas to be held June 8, at 8 o'clock. He will give a brief speech and will preside over the commencement exercises.
