so defective that they cannot be

lug statement without the fear of sue
cessful contradiction:
That no criminal can be brought to
trial IN Indiana so long as he can en-
ploy taaoger to a0rite GffdaUits for
c0letiauances.
The difficulty is, the Judges of the
Courts have no discretion to refuse
continuance of criminal case when
the application is supported by the
affidavit of the defendant. although
the Judge may be morally certain
that the affidavit is false and the de-
! PENDANT is guilty Of perjury in making
it. / know criminal cases now pend
ing in this circuit which never will be
tried until our law in this particular
is amended. The Judges of the
Courts, both in the Circuit and Com
mon Pleas, should be invested with a
discretion to refuse applications for
continuances under proper circum-
stances. The defect is not SO much
with the judges and juries as with the
Iu,o itself That mast be amended.

THE New Albany Commercial pur-
posely misrepresents our comments
on the Jackson County Regulators as
an attack upon New Albany. 1t says:
From the five or six robberies and
other heinous crimes daily and nightly
committed in Evansville, one would
imagine that the JoUREAL had about
as much crime at home to. weep over
as would exhaust It's laefrymal feun-
tain, instead of shedding Us. crocodile
tears over an act which New Albany
Is in no way responsible for. Thou
hypOcrite, first cast out the beam out
OF thine own eye, and then shalt thou
see clearly to cast out the mote out of
thy brothers eye. This is good or
thodox doctrine, and its practice
would greatly improve the manners of
the Evansville JOURNAL.
We have no disposition to punish
the Commercial too severely for its
indiscretion in endorsing a most
outrageous violation of law. But we
do not propose to let it escape by the
use of falsehood. We never said
that New Albany was in auywise re-
sponsible for the murders which were
perpetrated there. Tie Commercial,
however, did its best to make the city
shoulder the responsibility. by justify
ing and approving the murders after
they were committed.

NEW BUILDINGS. - The following
list, the correctness of which may be
relied upon, shows the number Of
new buildings erected during the past
year to be as follows:
Business houses (brick), 40, at a
cost of 1897 900; business houses
(frame), 16, at cost of S36, 600; dwell
ing houses (bricki, 40, at cost of
1928. 600; dwelling houses (frame).
1913. alta cost of 500, 200. Total, 229
buildings, az total cost of 81 ,00o. 200.
La 1867 there we're built 354 build
irgs, including four churches and two
school houses, at a cost of 81, 131. 700.
This shows that the buildings
erected this year are much better In
quality, although the number is less"
The above was taken from the
Evansville Democrat of yesterday
We find In the Sentinel of the 10Th,
that the total cost Of buildings erect
ed In indianapolis during the year
past was S43S, Ais. By comparison
with theacost of buildings erected
here, it will be seen that the value OF
improvements erected In Evansville
during the year 1868, is nearly three
times as much as those of Indiana
polls. And so we grow Courier.
The above statistics, so far as they
refer to Evansville, were collected by
us for the Board of Trade Report, and
consequently mag Be relied on as cor
rect We had not designed publish
ing them until after the Report was

been as little as the Democrat could
have done to acknowledge the source
of its information, for it obtained the
facts from our reporter.

keep all the.money in the treasury in
active use, and not Idly on deposit or

last few months of the school expenses
were left to be provided for by the
