DELAYS oETFfHfE LAW.

The dallyIng with justice in the
Willard Lee case, and other notable
murder cases in Georgia, has evoked
strong censure from the press else
where, for after all that has been said
about the non enforcement of the laws
of the land, of the cheapness of human
life, and of the frequency with which
lynchings occur, the evil and the rem
edy is found and suggested IN the
laws delays.
The subject is thus well presented
by the Montgomery Journal.
''The truth is that it is the certainty
and speediness with which the law is
enforced, rather than the severity of
the punishment, which is the dread of
the criminal classes. But so long as
the violators of the law can successful
~ escape punishment by the laws de-
lay, so long will crime flourish and
woman's virtue be at the mercy of the
vicious and depraYed.
cit is rather more the softness of the
courts than the leniency of the jurors
which opens the door for the escape of
the criminals of this country.
''It is belieyed that if criminal sta
tistics of the country could be correct
ly arranged that it would be found that
more criminals go unwhlpped of JUS
tice through laws delay than from
wrong verdicts of juries. So true is
that proposition that it is well known
maxim of all defensive tactics in court
trials that delays are never dangerous
to defendants. Yet the blame is usu-
ally bestowed upon the juries of the
land for the laxity in the non-enforce-
ment of the laws.
cit is believed that the experience
of all persons who have in any capacl.
ty been engaged in enforcing the Grim
inal laws or in defense of those charg-
ed with crime, that the verdicts of the
iuries are seldom wrong in ordinary
cases and that tLey most frequently
err in the cases where there is some
prejudice or other more than ordinary
influences operating.
''But it is the ease, the facility with
which continuances are obtained that
give immunity to the vicious. The
purpose of continuance is simply to
secure fair trial of the accused. When
fair trial can be had the continuance
should be refused. A continuance
should never be allowed to become the
door of escape.
ITO determine between the two is
within the province of the presiding
Judge. IT is delicate but important
duty, at times difficult to perform; but
it is duty devolving upon the court
that should impress it with its grave
responsibility. It can not afford to be
led to that which will subject it to
criticism or resentment.
Old age either brings experience or

his humor is bound to make itself
known, as the following specimen in
the issue Of February 21st shows:
a question OF great moment to the
nation has been decided by the Joint
action OF the Secretary Of State, the
Ambassador of the United States to
Russia and a tailor. While Mr.. Char

he suffered Inconvenience. loss of dig

World-pOWeTs, and bore a nan!e that in
Itself conveyed the impression OF ire
sistible dignity, he vas frequently mis-
taken for q waiter. Russian nobiemen

The matter was left to the State De-

finally decided that while our army
