The Kentucky Mar cloud.

Every honest frier of peace and good

Blackburn is correct in his view that the

seem TO support the optimistic opinion ex-
pressed by the Kentucky statesman.

and who, it trauspired, had struck her

t"'H"e system Described b. United

The law courts Of Germany are discuss
ed in report 20 the State Department
from United States Consul BroGowsii at
solingen. He says.
1t may not be out Of place TO give nv
experience as to the German "Schoeffen-
gericht" which in some small degree can
be compared with cur Observation-Disclosures
courts These. consider smaller cases like
petit larceny. disorderly conduct. battery.
etc.
The court is composed OF a professional
judge and two assistants selected from
a Venire OF citizens. the prosecuting at
torhey and minute clerk. The presiding
judge does ali the Questioning Of the deIiu-
quent and Of the witnesses. but fl is not
forbidden for the assistants and the pros
ecuting attorney TO PROFOUND questions If
they see fit 10 do so. But the surprising
feature therein for the American is the
iact that the prosecuting attorney is a.
the same time the attorney Tor the ac-
cused.
After all the CUES jiOninE has been done
the prosecuting attorney lays before the
court the law on the subject. The fine va

ing circumstance
Only with prisoners whose records
show many prior offences does the Drosa-
cutting attorney give to the court those
aggravatng circuUs tauces On the con-
trary, he usually detects any and all nit
lEating circumstances which may urove
TO be beneficial TO the prisoner. and rec
ommends him to the clemeucy Of the court
10y pleading for the lowest fine Then the
prisoner is asked what he has to say. and
in most of these cases appeals to the

The court retires 20 private room. re-
turns few minutes later, and the presid-
ing judge passes the sentence. These SEN
fences are in most cases so mild and in
all cases so just and sensible that. as one
OF the judges here has stated to me. not
one appel has been taken throughout this
whole year from the decisions Of the court.

see how the poor man. although a deIin-
