ST. JOHNS POST PROSPEROUS.
Treasurer's Report shows a Substan-
tfaI Balance ON Hand.

St. Johns Post OF the United States
Church Army was closed last night and
the members and friends attended ser
vice at ST. Johns Church. Summit ave-
nue.. AT the conclusion of the regular
service the report of the treasurer OF
the Post. from March 20 to April II, was
read. 1t showed the receipts from all
sources to have been 1916. Is, n that
after all expenses had been paid there
was left in the reasury s168.90.
STAFF Captain Ladd, the officer in charge
of the Post, made a short address, de-
failing the work accomplished in the last
month. He spoke particularly of the work
of the new temperance organization
which he instituted and of the temper
ance meetings every Saturday night. He
appealed for help for the poor fund of the
Post, upon which the demands are in
creasing every week.

There is only one trouble about Judge
BIair's new court rules. 1t is that they
are oppressive and illegal.
His Honor has no more right to exclude
the public from the court room or to de-
prive them of its accommodations, so far
as they reasonably extend, than he has
to apply thumbscrews to the witnesses.
Every prisoner has a right to a public
trial, and this means a public trial
IN the fullest sense, and every citi-
zen has a right to be present at any trial,
SO long as his presence does not embarrass
the proceedings. A judge has a right TO
room or the presence of obnoxious per-
sons. because these may be regarded as
hIndering or impeding the work of the
court: but his power is strictly limited
Within these bounds.
Rule No. s. which proposes to exclude
from the Enclosure all lawyers. except
those actually trying a case. is simply
nonsensicai. The Judge has no right to
make it, and nc power to enforce it.
Every lawyer is an officer Of the court
and has his rights in the court room,
which are just as inalienable as the rights
az the Judge himself. One of these is
proper accommodation at the bar. Would
the Judge expect lawyers who were watt
ing for their cases to be called to sit out
side the rail?
1t is simply ridiculous.
Another Of the rules which looks well
is that which provides that only one pris-
oner at a time shall be brought over
from the jail. It viii be found, however,
tnat In practice it will not work. It I'M
wolves altogether too much delay. If the
purpose Of the court is to do usine
and not to kill time, the Judge will have
70 arrange to have prisoners ready at
hand SO as to proceed from one case to
another promptly-as every other court
In the world does.
