1t gives US genuine pleasure to pub in
lish below a reference from the Ma Al
nila New American to one of our Mis- a,
sissippi boys, Capt j. M. Liddell at +,
one time editor of the Delta Flag, and o
popular attorney of Greenwood: Il
Judges Liddell and McManus OF +
the Manila municipal court are ap'
pointees that reflect credit on the civil
governor. Two better men for their q
respective positions could not be b
found in the Philippines. Both are i
men OF undoubted ability, distln-
guished bravery and unquestioned IN G
tegrity. And each by education and c
1 experience is peculiarly we'll qualified S
to dispense justice and protect the
rights of the people. The recent IN
surrection, the large percentage OF
criminals, the difficulty of getting at
the truth, and thousand and one
other things contribute to and multi
ply the perplexities with which the
municipal Judges are constantly con
fronted. The 'artful dodger which
Dickens immortalizd was gulleiess
innocent when compared with the non
descript scapegraces that are called
: upon to expiate their sins in the Ma
nila police courts. But Capt Lldoell
, knows by experience what he has TO
deal with. 1t is also equally certain |
/ that no matter who or what he may
. be, the prisoner en- trial in the mu-
nicipal court will be treated with the
utmost impartiality. Unafraid and
y unswayed by any partisan consldera-
