in his own behalf unless he could pay
for them, This state of things having
long since ceased to exist, the disad
vantages then imposed upon the State
should also cease. 1t will be
SUFFICIENT PROTECTION
for the innocent to retain the require
ment that his guilt must be shown be
yond reasonable doubt and that the
verdict of guilty can only be pro
nounced by the unanimous verdict of
jury. The sympathy of the jury for
fellow being on trial for his life will
always be stronger than the desire to
vindicate the outrage upon society,
and such sympathy can always be
readily appealed to by eloquent counsel.
= The number of peremptory
challenges should be reduced and an
equal number. say six, allowed the
State and the defendant. This has al
ready been done in Illinois, Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, Florida and Colo
RADIO, while ia Massachusetts the State
has more challenges than the prisoner.
Where, as in North Carolina, the pris-
oner has % challenges without any
cause shown, in addition to all the chal
lenges for cause, it practically amounts
to his selecting the jury to try him
self. He can almost always, with good
management, get at least one friend
on the jury to prevent the required
unanimiUy.
Then the
STATE SHOULD BE ALLOWED
to except to erroneous rulings of the
Judge as we'll as. the defendant and to
appeal from a verdict of not guilty OBJ
tained by such erroneous rulings. This
was formerly the law in North Caro-
lima and elsewhere. 1t is, for potent
reasons, necessary to,return to it. AS
to the numerous technicalities which
areso sure to be evoked for the prisoner
the proper course is the one pointed
out in the resolution adopted at the
last meeting of the State Bar -Associa
tion of Georgia, which was. in effect,
THAT .on all appeals in criminal as
well as civil cases, the appellate court
shall not grant a new trial for any
error in the int tru ctions to the jury,
or in the allowance or disallOwance of
challenges, or In rulings upon evidence
or in other rulings of the presiding
judge, unless in shall appear to the sat
isfaction of the appellate court that
such error probably and reasonably
affected the result adversely to the
appealing party" In common sense
view of things it is clear that there
should not be a new trial except in
such cases
Legal reforms rarely avail without
the cordial support of the bar. *
Let these
REASONABLE REFORMS
be refused and society will continue in
fagrant cases to dispense with judges,
juries and lawyers in vindicating its
right to protection against murderers
and those who commit rape. The pur-
pose in hanging man is not to reform
him, but to deter others. To have
that effect the punishment must be
prompt and certain whenever guilt il
clear beyond all reasonable doubt
This principle, which is so often ignored
by the courts, is the one which in
stinctively actuates lynching mobs
The principle is, in itself, right, and
courts should act upon it and not leave
it to be at once a motive and plea fol
the illegal execution of justice.

WATER WORKS.

Newman and Dalton put in water
works without sewers. Now both
towns find that they have made a
mistake. Sewers go with water
works. Newman held public
meeting last week to see what cen
DO done to secure sewers. Dalton
is agitat;ng the question also. The
last issue of the Argus says: "0al-
ton needs sewerage. In fact she
will be obliged to have it, or stop
growing. Water works without
sewerage are a scourge and a
curse!'
Now, Marietta must have water
works. An effort is being made to
get them. We need them. But
let US remember to provide sewer
age also. One goes with the other.
Dalton and Newman both say so.
We have to be guided by the expe>
rience of others.
