VERY ~FRENCHY."

The incidents Of tha Dreyfus re'tTial
at Rsnncs acute1y emphasize pecu-
liarity in court proceedings in France
which has often struck with astonish-
nent observers from this side of the
Atlantic This popularity is the lib
erty which is allowed the judges and
Witnesses, as well as the prosecuting
lawyers, to attack and harry a defend
ant, in way that would not be per-
mitted for an instant in trials in this
country for instance. This very COM
mon feature of judicial proceedings in
France has been witnessed a number
Of times in the Dreyfus case. For ex-
ample look at the way that General
Roget was allowed to go on last week.
He stood in the attitude of sworn
witness. And yet the accounts say his
entire Testimony was vitriolic and
truculent diatribe against the defend
ant And this was also the case with
the testimony of MERCER, Blot, Eur
linden and Cavaignac-all were mere
ly passionate pleas for the prosecu-
ton. Imagine witness in an Amer
lean court attempting to work into his
evidence an argument either for or
against an accused person. He would
set the court, from the bench to tie
bar, in an uproar, and would find him
self checked SO quickly that his head
would swim. But they do not do these
things in our way over there in
France. We presume they like their
own way best, CT they wouldn't prac
tica it. Still, that way is very
..Frenchy,'' and often seems to almost
reverse the idea accepted in American
Jurisprudence that man accused of
crime must be accounted innocent I'M
til his guilt is proved. The French
notion would appear to be that the ac-
cused person should be held as guilty
until he can prove his innocence, and
to make it as hard as possible for him
to do that. In other words it some
times seems as if the French theory
of criminal trial is that the state
shall give itself the benefit Of every
doubt instead of allowing such benefit
to 90 to the defendant.

taxpayers and property holders to sell
out and get out of the territory while
they can, also making the statement
that times are harder and money
soarC,er than ever before in the terri

prosperous and healthy condition,
financially and otherwise, but denies
that Governor Murphy's administra-
ton is in any way responsible for this
satisfactory condition 1t says that
the high prices now being paid for

That there is an abundance CT money
