THE MATTER OF BAIL AGAIN.

The Chester Lantern contin-
ues to hammer away on the ub
ject of bail in homicide cases..
1t is an important subject, it is
true, but it is more than likely
that the readers of both the
Lantern and The News are be.
ginning to tire of its discussion
in the columns of the two pa
pers and would welcome "a
change to other topics, especial
ly since neither of us is advanc
ing anything new in support of
our respective positions. Nor
does there seem to be the slight
est chance of the one convincing
the other of the correctness of
his views.
We are surprised to see IN the
last issue Of the Lantern an IN
timaliop that it does not;think
it's position has been correctly
stated in these columns. Our
esteemed contemporary seems
to entertain the idea that we
should have reproduced VIII at it
said. Nothing would have Civ
en- us more pleasure had we
known our contemporary de
sired it We have but followed
its own course in this discus
sion, republishing, we thought,
fully as much of it's matter rs it
was reproducing Of ours. We
have honestly endeavored in
every instance 10 state fairly the
Lanterns views, and it has yet
to point out wherein we have
failed to do so correctly.
The Lantern insists on it that
the granting o. bail-but, tax
ing our contemForary's' hint, we
give is own words:
"In a murder ca.e, we do not
hink cit is largely a matter of
speculation as to what weight,
if any, he granting of bail has
with the jury" Whether or
not sit is not reasonable to sup.
lose that they are influenced"
ect., need not be discussed so
long as the cold, stubborn fact
remains that they are thus in
fIuenced, as is shown by the
long list of white men with red
hands who walk at large testify
ing to other bad men that they
can dye their hands in human
blood with impunity."
Now in Il previous article our
contemporary said "the grant
ing of bail has about the same
effect as judges iHstructing Il
jury to bring in a verdict of not
luilty."
IN other words, H. the opinion
