weakened. not by the fact, but b,
the lack Of Jurisdiction OF the st,
Louis court. i.sti3
The question is frequently asked,
Why does not the Senate take some
action 10 the cases, OF Senators Bur-
ton and Mitchell, both Of whom have
been indicted but each OF whom CON
tinues to enjoy his salary Of S., 900 q
year as Senator, IL not to enjoy the
privilege Of voting in the Senate.
The answeris this. Under civilized
principles OF jurisprudence alnan must
be considered iunocent until proven
guilty. The Senate claims that it
has nosmoralhright to PREJUDICE the
cases OF these Senators until their
cases have been disposed OF by the
courts. 1t is argded, moreover, that
were the Senate, with fewer facilities
than the courts, to expel these men
such action would Inevitably prejud-
ice the juries which will be called
upon to try them perhaps create
prejudice entirely unwarrant ted by the
facts. The Senate, therefore refrains
from acting In such cases aud dcfers
to the superior facilities and iNdg-
ment Of the criminal courts. II the
charges against either Senator were
to be ultimately proven groundless
the correctness Of the SeOate's atti-
tude would immediately become APP
parent and the tendency to criticize
the Senate for its failure to act
doubtless comes from those who re-
gard an indictment as equivalent to
a conviction.
