Century of Amelioration.

The softening influences of the age have
operated with beneticent effect upon the
old rigor of the criminal law. "A hun-
dred years ago the law of England en-
braced more than thirty crimes TO
which the death penalty was afiixed.
Now, both here and there, with the OK
CCption of few rare instances such as
treason, murder Is the only capital Of
fense against the criminal law. 1t was
not until near the close of the first half
of the century that the long efforts of the
humane reformers were crowned with
success in securing for persons accused
of felony in the courts of England the
right to have the assistance of counsel
ferior crimes and In prosecutions for
treason by a strange anomaly, that
right had long been accorded. 1t Illus
trates the obdurateness with which old
customs once withstood the assaults of
reform to recall that a bill to allow per
sons accused of treason the benefit OF
counsel was only passed by parliament
after seven sessions of unsuccessful ef-
fort Not only is counsel allowed In all
cases, but to persons unable to employ
legal assistance the court assigns counsel
and 1t Is a well-recoCnized duty of eV-
cry lawyer to accept the assignment, ana
defend the Involuntary client with as
much zeal and ability as he would In re-
snonse to the inspiration of a retainer.
For the unfortunate person who is too
poor to pay for process to compel the
attendance of witnesses, the states Of
ficCrs stand ready to go at the expense
of the commonwealth and summon them
to court. Our courts of error are open
for the review, at the instance of the
accused, Of the record of the proceedings
In every criminal case, no matter how
trivial or how heinous the law being eN-
ceedinEly tender of individual liberty, and
careful that no man shall suffer punish
ment except 1t be in all respects In ac-
cord with the law OF the land.
