Mrs. r. w. Morgan of the

caller at the Advocate Office this
morning. She is enthusiastic
over the Reunion, and said Gen.
Gordon would deliver an ad.

would try and have a Mexican
bull fight for the cowboys. If
they could get Roosevelt and

you for the suggestion and

be forthcoming. The president
will also show us how he rode a

"NO Change Needed?"

A short time ago county Judge
of a neighbOring county said to the
Champion editor: "Why don't you
rip up the COW stealing in our cOun-
ty." Our answer was: what is
the use of doing So" "Well not
much for it seems that juries will not
convict men charged with crime"
Our reply to this statement was:
There are no cow thieves or muir
derers in the Panhandle; ut least
that Is what OurcOurts, lawyers and
juries say" But we believe that
private opinion differs from public
sentiment. At the same time 1t Is Il
well known fact that II a man stole
cattle, committed cold blooded muir
der or any other felony and had
money enough to hire lawyers and
pack juries to clear him. that that is
the end OF the transaction so far as
the law is concerned.
We state what we know from ac-
tual knowledge and observation,
that the debauched, demoralized
state of public sentiment has been
brought about by the action of the
courts. The whole business Is moth
ing more nor less than criminal
making machine, and 1t becomes the
duty of all abiding citizens irrespec-
tive of party politics, personal or
other utilization to smash the ma
chine.
The machine operates in this way.
In nine cases out of ten there are
two good men and one not so good
us jury commissioners. These men
then select the grand and other jur-
les, and the consequence is the grand
jury has seven or eight men on it
who favor law and four or five who
believe In llberality and the result Is:
but very few bills of Indictment for
misdemcandor cases are found. The
The general refusal or failure to pun
ISL misdemeanor causes n debauch- |
cry of public sentiment which turns
felons loose. We have known grand |
jurors Investigating crime to be SO
drunk in the jury room that they |
were objects of pity. Can any good |
result come from such u system !
which has become general and Is a |
blighting, whitening curse upon the
Panhandle.
The grand juries will not indict on
the lower criminal violations of law
except where II man has no friends,
and ii bills are found they are gener-
ally thrown out of court. The sum
ming up of this state of affairs is:
When men charged with felony are
tried, however hard the Judge tries
to convict, the jury turns him loose,
generally with an apology to the
man afterwards, that theyc ould not
get at verdict sooner than they
did because there was some moss
back or other on the jury who want
ed to give him a necktie party or an
excursion to Huntsville.
There Is Il machine running every |
court in the Panhandle that we
know anything about and it is the
duty of our citizens to smash the [
machine at the next election.-Live-
stock Champion.
