cases in which tagging justice has
been led tircsomc chase through the
alleys known to the law than there
would be in the absolute repeal of the
statute prescribing capital punish
ment for murder.
The law must be kept in good re-
pute or it fails in its purpose. When
found tripping the feet of justice in
stead OF serving her, it becomes a
menace to the public peace. Judge
Payne has performed an illustrious
service in demanding that delay
shall cease and that the course of
criminal trials shall be swifter and
surcr than it has been. His example
is we'll worth following by his col
leagues, especially at this time. when
the insecurity Of good citizens in
their life and property rights and the
fatal contempt Of bad men for the
certainty Of justice are growing much
beyond the point of safety.

sound Sense From a Judge.

Judge Payne's decision in the
Prendergast ease is one of the most
noteworthy that has been delivered
in many years. says the Chicago
Post. The magistrate showed a
strong conception of the underlying
exemplary purpose of our criminal
laws. the absence of which from the
minds OF some Of his colleagues has
had n disastrous effect upon the
standing of the courts in this COM
munity. We do not recall more
opportunc. or stronger deliverance
than the following:
If the criminal law is to have po-
tency and power in community, it
must be because of wise, conserva-
tive public opinion, and because of a
quick. earnest and conservative ad-
ministration of the law. To say that
n man may commit murder, may
have n fair trial, NAV exhaust all of
the resources known to the law for
reprieve. pardon or stay, and then
upon an application of this court
have continuance from March until
November. or March until Septem-
Der. would he. in my judgment, an
abuse OF judicial discretion.
Counsel have referred to the pub
lie aspect Of this case. This has no
weight with this court. The position
which ] have felt it my duty to take
here is taken because ] feel that the
effect OF the administration of the
law is lesscned or destroyed by fire.
quent continuanccs. by long post
ponemcnts, so that people begin to
wonder whether there Is, after all.
any speedy, sure or certain punish
ment.
The Post further comments: The
utterance is especially opposite in the
Prendergast case. for here in q
greater degree than elsewhere n pos
tive miscarriage of the justice has
has threatened by reason of delay
and the timidity Of the courts. The
fate Of the wrctched prisoner himself
is Of little actual consequence. II il
in the effect Of tho INDIGESTION OF
justice on the good opinion and re-
spcct in which the law must be held
by the public to be of value that the
danger lies. Our judges seem to for
get that. as we say. the first purpose
of criminal law is exemplary and the
punitive purpose hangs to that. We
have no hesitancy in saying that
