CRIME AND THE PRESS"
A Member Of the Bar Ably Sustains
Our Views.
JACKSONVILLE, March z, 1884

JACKSONVILLE, March 7, 1894.
EDITORS DAILY NEWS: 1t must be APP
parent to every rejecting mind that the
press Of this state, in discussing the guilt
of defendant charged with crime inflict
an incaIculable injury upon the accused,
and Obstruct that impartial execution of
the laws, upon which depend the lives
and liberties Of US all.
Every defendant is entitled to be tried
by an impartial jury. Law, justice and
humanity demand it. Men who have
preiudged the case, whose minds have
become prejudiced either for or against
the accused are as incompetent to try
him as would be Suhrer's friends or Epps'
wife.
Now I take it that these blood-t thirsty
editorials are written with some object
in view. Is it to leave the minds of the
readers unbiased? Is to qualify them to
judge impartially? Is it to render
them competent to assume the grave re-
sponsibility of jurors, with minds and
passions clear, cool and on even balance
between the State and accused? Answer
ye who love justice.
A crime is charged to have been
committed; the defendant is in custody
of the law; public interest and public
curiosity is aroused; the community is
eager and excited to learn the slightest
detail of the affair. At this juncture q
great and good @ newspaper steps before
the people, and denouncing the defendant
and sluTring his wife, demands his con
victiOn. Every word of denunciation,
every effort to throttle the defense and
make it infamous, is read by possible
jurors. One of two effects must follow
either the reader endorses or repels the
editors sentiments. In either state Of
mental conviction he is unfit to be a
juror.
Let this blood-thirstiness abate. PuT-
sue this man no further. 1t is a shame
ful spectacle-a journalist, in the name of
the law and justice entering the street,
the workshop, the store, the homes and
houses of us all, demanding thesblood of
a man whom the law declares shall be
held innocent until found guilty by his
impartial peers, and exhausting every
effort to prejudice the minds of the men
who have yet to try him.
In the name of justice | pronounce a
verdict Of guilty, rendered by by minds
50 predetermined to be wilful murder.
The hand of the law has been laid upon
| Epps. Let those members of the com
munity upon whom shall fall the respon-
sibility Of trying him, approach that duty
with a full sense of the obligation it i'm
poses, with honest hearts, clear con-
| sciences and impartial minds. Such ju-
rors may be safely intrusted to find a
righteous verdict; and those who de-
sire the rendition of such a verdict will
let the mind of the juror alone. 1t will
judge when it enters the judgment erat.
To pursue this defendant further is
sure to excite a sympathy for him in the
minds of all who love fair play No
cross tree ever sprang from soil wet with
a seducers blood

A Conservative Head.

Savannah Times.
The conservative head of the Boston
Herald was converted by Buffers H1eth-
DDS during his gubernatorial term, and
seldom shows any symptoms of back
sliding. This is wen. The Butler con
verts always hear the defense of the
Southern States before striking them.
May the conservative head never fall
from grace.

Good morning, Deacon; You walk OF as

Yost first came to wichita l thought would
just wait and let some others try. had paid
out so much money for spectacles, and my eyes
were getting poorer and poorer all the time,
that had about despaired of ever getting any
thing that would stay the dreadful loss OF sight
But when came to see and talk with my neigh
bors, and with people from other parts of the
country who had used Dr. Yost's improved
lenses fsorne of them for years., concluded
would try it once more, and am frank to con
fess they are far ahead of my expectations.
oh, yes, it's hard country on eyesight. All
this western prairie country Is much harder on
on the eyes than the eastern states, and come TO
think Of 1t. it is as much out of place to try to
use the old style of spectacles here in Kansas rs
IL wGuld be to try TO farm with the old style OF
farming tools, and, sir, don't hesitate to say
that the man that wont go to Dr. IOst and be
fitted with pair OF his improved lenses ought
to have his self-bnder and improved plOws
taken from him, and be compelled to cut his
grain with the old hand sickle and plow with
the wooden mouldboard plow."
1t is just as important to use improved lenses
properly fitted, in order TO save eyesight, us ii
Is TO use the self binder TO save grain in this
western country.
No use talking, nothing short of DR.. Yost's
improved spectacles will save the vision in this
day and age.
