NOTHING more dastardly has ever ap-
peared in a newspaper than the scream
for the persecution of Messrs. Noonan
and Simpson by the Bar Association.
Nothing more ridiculous could be mag
ined either, seeing that in another coll
umn of the same paper was the report of
Judge Hudspeth's action. readmitting the
two accused to practice in his court.
The object of the article was apparent
in the third paragraph. 1t was not the
~ostensible one. 1t was not to push ahead
the disbarment of the victims. 1t was
to reinject into the case filthy, obscene
and irrelevant scandals, which the up
right of Judge Garretson and
Attorney General Grey prevented Beck
and Pidgeon from spewing INTO the court
proceedings.
that the Bar Association will not act I'M
til the court in which the issue is pend
ing has recorded its final judgment. 1t
would be grossly unfair and unjust to
prejudice the verdict of a jury by any
previous adjudication or quasi-adjudica-
tion of the issue. If the Bar Association
should do any such ~thing-and it is in
conceivable that it should've Supreme
Court would rebuke it by laying its petit
tion over until after the second trial. We
repeat. the journal knows this.
But it is part of the plan to insure a
conviction in the second trial, to stir up
again all the filthy and, no doubt. nine
tenths untrue ISLANDERS and libels by Beck
and Pidgeon upon the victims of their
conspiracy. The idea is to get this irrele-
want abomination into the minds of jul
rors. so that when they go into the box
they will be prepared to show the accused
no mercy.
Perhaps the most disgusting part OF
this vile product of terror and cruelty is
the following
There is nothing In this case from be
ginning to end which leaves a necessity
for the journal stating that toward

THE Journal had a very yellow edi-
toria1 on Hudson, Camden and Passaic."
yesterday, in which. with the local pride
which might be expected from a Hacken-
sacker, the home of the paper, the county
upon which it lives was ~blackened at the
expense of the two Republican rotten bor-
oughs.
Among other Characteristic expressions,
this one may be selected for COMMENT
The Democrats on the moor of the
House claimed that these scandals IN
Camden and Passaic were as gla1ing as
the scandals in Hudson and equally de-
serving of investigation. This was a mis-
take because there was a manifest differ
ence.
Yes, there was a difference, and a very
notable one.
In Passaic Judge Dixon had, from the
bench, denounced the Grand Jury for pro-
tecting gamblers.
In Camden a murder trial had to be
stopped in it's very midst because it was
found the jury had been fixed-as juries
VIGOROUSLY are, with great frequency, in
Camden.
In Hudson all the scandal is created
by the malignant f~alsehoods and criminal
blunders of a yellow sheet, which stirred
them UP for strictly commercial purposes.
