With the decline in the stock mar

Immoral sensation trade. Business Is

guishes and everybody complains at
everybody else for having no money,
no one appears to bs doing anything
to make business brisk and money
O plentiful. Men find money to
gamble in stocks, but not to pay
house rent, etc. They a feast tainted

tho state of affairs In this model city.

Among the many plumbers OF the
last Legislature was the creation Of a
Criminal Court for this city, which d.

Police Court. 1t also assists the guilty
In escaping speedy punishment before
the Police Court by appealing and de-
manding a jury trial. A man guilty
OF a common assault, or q crooked
drunk, hopes t. escape a fine of $40 or
$50 BY taking an appeal and demand
ing a trial by his peers, recruited from
the Barbary Coast or the freestinks OF
the City Hall. In most cases these
professional criminals are acquitted,
but i'm the rare cases of conviction the
Judge iufiicts an unusually large dose
of Justice to make amends for the ex-

For instance: The other day, a man
arrested for drunkenness, instead OF
pleading guilty, when he would have
escaped with the usual fine of s., took
an appeal and demanded a jury tlial.

now he sees what a jackass he was.
