a compromise seemed inevitable, but as the
fresh courage. and under the leadership OF
Senator Voorhees,, they won the fight. Both
sides made good fight, but only one could
win. The struggle In The Senate was long. te.
on record rs one OF the greatest debates in its
history. The Repeal Bill passed the Senate

and nineteen Democrats. ten Republicans and
three Popul1sts voted against 1t.
The bill was sent to the House for concur.
renee In the Senate amendment, and passed
by n vote or 1914 for concurrence and 81 against

Abuse OF Appeals.

The laws Of this State are extremely liberia
In the matter Of allowing appeals. Indeed II
must be evident 10 every thinking man, thai
the common practice of appealing all cases o.
consequence, civil and criminal, to the Su'
preme Court, after there has been verdict OF
decree on the circuit was no; contemplated In
the formation Of our judicial system. is cum.
bersome and In great measure degrading TO
our Circuit Courts.
So firmly grounded seems the practice that
II is taken as q matter OF course there will be
an appeal, when verdict is rendered on the
oay ,ne pary o as
This js wrong. The law says that no man
shall be twice put In jeapody Of losing life or
limb, why should the State be required al
way TO make out Its case twice.
II is we'll perhaps TO allow appeals from trial
Justice courts 10 the circuit az matter Of
course. Trial Justices are not lawyers and Of
ten know no law. Their courts are not courts
Of record but inferior. But not so with the
circuit court. circuit judge is supposed to
be al learned as supreme Justice, and as
matter OF fact they are as rule. The prac-
tce Of appealing on all sorts OF cases and for
all sorts OF reasons, is making the three
judges OF the Supreme Court do the work Of
the eight Circuit Judges. and all for no pur-
pose. No Circuit Judge now on the Bench or
who could ever be elected would hesitate to
grant the right Of appeal, If there was rea.
law or any irregularlty In the trial
AS 1t Ia, 1t Is frequently three years before o
sharply contested Case can run The rounds OF
the Courts and one Legislature meets and
changes law before the econsttutionality OF
that law Is passed upon.
Then look on the criminal side. Take the
Sullivan case Just heard In Anderson. Here
IL man who was able 10 employ the best le-
gal talent In the State In his defense. In or
der that prejudice might not weigh, the case
was removed from Greenyille where the
crime was committed and sent to be passed
upon by men who knew neither the slayer
nor the slain. The witnesses were examined
accord ding to law, the lawyers argued To the
jury as they had right, for and against con.
viciion, and the jury rendered verdict. II
was for murder and the whole case was rear.
gued before the judge 10 show that there was
some irregalari,y. No mistake OF law could
be cited, no irregularity, and the death SEN
tence was passed. From this decision OF the
Judge the lawyers will appeal to the Supreme
Court, not with any hope OF securing new
trial. but because they can appeal aud there Is
no way TO prevent II, and by 50 doing the
judgment OF tile cou,t may lie temporarily
stayed. 1t Is nevertheless wrong, and ough,
not 10 be allowed.
