THE JUDICIARY AnENDnENT.

THE JUDICIARY AnENDnENT.
A distinctive feature of the
judiciary system of this country
is the right of appeal, a right
that inalienably belongs to a free
people and without which justice
must be hating and uncertain.
This right is not peculiar to any
one class of citizens, but is the
common property of all, and if
denied any one of them. no mat
ter how humble, it is an infringe
ment of the liberties of all.
We have before us now a con-
stitutiOnal amendment involving
this principle; it is the amend
ment establishing a court of APP
peals. This court is primarily a
poor mans court, a court to al
low him his inalienable right of
appeal, and unless the people
vote for it's establishment, they
will deprive a large class of
citizens of one of their most
precious rights.
It is true that the constitution
of 1898 provides for a court of
appeal; but the provision is un-
fortunate inasmuch as it is not
practical-it won't work.
Under the article Of the Con-
s%titution which is sought to be
amended, the court of appeals
shall consist of judges of the dis
trict to serve as a Judge of the
court of appeals in another dis
trict. two judges to constitute a
court. Article 100 provides that
there shall be TWO terms of said
court of appeal in EACH PARISH
ANNUALLY. Article III pro-
vides that District courts shall
hold CONTINUOUS sessions dur
ing ten months of the year,, in
their districts. According to
Article III district judges can
not hold circuit court at all, for
the law allows them two months
vacation, and requires ten
months CONTINUOUS sessions in
their district. Nevertheless.
continuing the two articles to-
gether, Chief Justice Breaux.
to whom is assigned the duty Of
setting the terms of circuit court
as constituted under the present
constitution, has selected. dates
during the ten months of court
sessions. In attempting to com
ply with both articles III and
100, the time between dates set
for holding circuit court run
ABOUT the same for all parishes
and allow an absurd insuficiency
OF time; as for instance, circuit
court is ordered to be held in
lafayette the first Monday in
March; in st. Martin, the first
Thursday in March; in Iberia,
the second Monday in March.
winch allows two and a half days
IN Lafayette and three days in
st. Martin. which practically
renders the courts useless so
Tar as service is concerned
Whereas. under the proposed
amendment the court which will
be composed of three judges,
instead of two as heretofore, will
have to sit at certain. delegated
places and. will have to hold it's
sessions there until all the cases
are decided and the rehearings
finally passed upon.
Lack of time is a sufficiently
serious objection: but the fatal
defect lies in the fact that no
penalty is attached for failure of

Base Ball.
NORWAY VS.. WEST PARIS.

NORWAY VS.. WEST PARIS.
The poorest exhibition of ball playing
that has been seen at the fair grounds
this season was the game Saturday after.
noon between the Norway and West
Paris teams. Norway won by score OF
10 to IS by it's hard batting and superior
fielding. The fielding of both teams
was very ragged at times, but that OF
the Norway team was, as a whole, much
better than that of West Paris. West
Paris started the scoring in their half of
the second inning, when they succeeded
in getting three men across the plate.
Norway, however, took the lead in their
half of the same inning, scoring five
men. Hayes scored three men on his 3.
base hit, which was by far the best hit
of the game. Each team scored two
runs in the third and West Paris scored
two more in the fifth, tieing the score.
Then came the sixth. In this inning the
Norway team batted the ball all over the
field, and assisted by West Paris errors
succeeded in making nine runs. Shaw,
this inning, and Norway scored three
more runs in the lat three innings, while
West Paris scored six more in their last
three innings.
The high school having finished its
season, number of the players are on
the town teams. Berry, the second base
man of the High School team, played
third base for West Paris. Fifield, the
third baseman, played third for Norway,
and Cole was substitute pitcher for Nor
way. Fletcher went to Mechanic Falls
to play for the team in that place.
