Editor’s Notes

An editorial note in the center of page 1 reads: Efforts to humanize justice in the state and city where Hull-House is now finishing its second twenty years, have taken three major steps: the establishing of a psychopathic clinic for the study of juvenile delinquents -- to obtain a more intelligent justice; the extending of legal protection to prostitutes -- enlarging the field of justice; the checkered record of justice to aliens, illustrated among other by Sacco and Vanzetti -- including those tho whom we "do not want to be just." This is the third of Miss Addams' revealing articles. The two preceding -- Prohibition, and Immigrants Under the Quota -- have both been selected by a Council of Librarians as among the ten most outstanding articles of the month of publication.

Most of the unnamed individuals have not been identified.
