severely criticised and condemned the action
Of the Boulwares In the assault upon the

There is u great deal of criticism, always, in
regard to the criminal law II. says one, IL
was this way, crime would be decreased. II,
remarks another, 1t was some other way
costs would be decreased. We admit that
changes might be made In the law with
profit, but we think 1t is demonstrable that
fully as much could be done by the courts
and the ~juries, to lessen crime and to reduce
costs, as could he effected by new laws. The
laws are not SO bad-indsed Missouri's code
- ouS - ~ II IaO ChioAs slCdl
fault Is In the execution, or rather non-ex.
ecution of the law. 1t is not so much the
severity of penalties which tends to cause
respect Tor law, Us the certainty Of punish
ment. Ii the courts will conscientIously and
firmly do their duty-properly charge thu
grand juries, refuse unnecessary continu
ances, enforce respect and discipline, ant
expedite business thousands of dollars viii
be saved. II the juries OF the country viii
come to their work, which ought to be
labor Of patriotism and duty, resolved t,
discard all sentimentallty, and to punisl
where guilt is made clear, crime will lesssl
by half. The court cannot accomplish a
that is to be done, neither can the juries
but both together can do much. Justice
pure and simple, uuawed by force, and un
Influenced by the establishments of wealth o
position, should be melted out. The COO
, calm, conservative, law-abiLing element o
the community demand this much.
