As I remember it now, the thing that was
uppermost in my mind was the desire to say something that would cement
the friendship of the races and bring about hearty cooeperation between
them. So far as my outward surroundings were concerned, the only thing
that I recall distinctly now is that when I got up I saw thousands of
eyes looking intently into my face.
BEN B. LINDSEY
(1869-____)
THE MAN WHO FIGHTS "THE BEAST"
[Judge Lindsey is known all the world over for his work in the Juvenile
Court in Denver, Colorado. To his courtroom there come visitors from
every State in this nation, investigators from Europe and officials
from China and Japan to study his laws and observe his methods. But to
himself, his famous Juvenile Court is side issue, a small detail in his
career. For years he has been engaged in a fight of which the founding
of his Juvenile Court was only a skirmish.
Without money, without powerful friends, without personal popularity,
this one man has codified laws, instituted reforms, founded charities,
and balked corruption.]
