in the past they have been woefully
misrepresented and many Of the evils
complained Of by outside cities are not
known to exist. If the facts can be
brought to light there is not pface
in the nation where there would be
more of public demand for the pun
ishment of the offenders. The News
believes that the present administra-
tion can and will do all that is In It's
power to bring the guilty to justice.
but it will have to have the support of
the people to do so. The News has
discovered by experience, that when
you attempt to stir up prosecution of
some notorious element, others high
er up suddenly discover that the mo-
tives are bad" The local conditions
are such that only the thorough arous-
ing of the public to deep sense of
duty and a determination to support
those who are doing their official duty
will cause local cleaning of existing
bad conditions.

HCuSECLEANING NEEDED.

Canton bids fair to again be held
up to the scorn of the world This
time it is by the confession of Castor,
the condemned murderer, at Colum-
bus. Castor is giving to the world
some alleged inside facts showing how
the criminal class has been protected
in this place. Of course it is but the
word of a man who is a condemned
murderer and without substantiating
were it not for the fact that so much
corroboratiVe evidence has been pro-
duced by other sources in the past.
The U. S. government sleuths; the
railroad detectives; and police Off
cials of other cities have for some
time pronounced this city as head
quarters for criminals and that the
place has been recognized as a pro
tected" town and clearing house for
stolen "swag."
This is an awful accusation to lie
under, and it behooves the officials of
the place to stir themselves and see
If something cannot be done to change
this condition of affairs. That il is
herculean task cannot be denied, for
there are many who are supposed to
stand high who are the bold defenders
of the very class that the city ought
to be rid of What their interest in
the matter may be can only be sur
missed, but it is reasonable to suppose
that they profit from the existing con-
ditions or they would not be so anx-
ious to have matters remain undis.
turbed. Either this or fear prevents
any active work from being carried
out.
The authorities should see to it that
the charges made by Castor are inves-
tigated, and if found to be true the
guilty should be made to suffer the
consequence Of their acts, no matter
what pressure they may be able to
bring to bear. Canton is law abiding
city with a class of people of more
than ordinary degree of honesty. but

WHO SHALL SELECT
THE JUDICIARY 2

Mr. Editor:-This is a matter too
long neglected by the common people,
those most interested. Shall they be
Of the people, by the people, and for
the people, or shall they be of the law
yers, by the lawyers, and for the law
yers? 1t has long been the practice
for the attorneys of the several county
bar associations to call themselves
together as a self-constituted commit
/ tee to select a candidate for the peo-
pie to vote for as judges for every
branch of the state, district and coun-
ty courts, and in many cases to select
the justices of the peace. The people
actually have no voice in the matter.
The candidates are selected and you
are expected to nominate them. Are
they selected because they have the
reputation of being men of unques-
tionable honor and fair dealings before
men; or are they chosen because they
represent certain corporate interests,
and because they are the personal
friends of corporation attorneys, whose
interests are not with the people?
Now just so long as the public per-
mits this practice by the attorneys,
just so long will you have judges who
represent these corporate and sepa-
rate interests. The candidates for
these several branches of the courts
should be left to a more direct vote
of the people, for they seldom make
serious errors in the selection of hon
est and competent officials, and then
they would have greater respect for
the opinions of the general public and
not be under obligations to any "spe-
cial interests" The sympathy of the
courts too often leans towards corpo-
rate and special interests" and this
is not to be wondered at, for is it not
true that many able lawyers are
brought up in the cradle of these cor
porate interests, and their sympathies
are naturally with them, which Ger.
tainly units them for fair" and just
jurists upon the broad plane of
square deal for all men and all con-
Germs. We believe that the judiciary
should be selected upon the most lib
eral ana fair plan by a popular vote
of the people, and not selected by a
few selfselected delegates, and not
until you have done away with this
wholly unrighteous practice, will you
be able to secure courts in the inter
ests of the whsle people.

meetings. In 1904 the committee was
composed of DR.. Brant, Wagner, Thay-
er and w l.. Davis. When asked how
often these men attended the meet
ings, the witness said: 81 have no
recollection of their coming at all
during the last few months that the
bank was doing business"
What did you do after you had
notified members Of committee meet
ings," asked Mr. Welty. State OBJ
jected and was sustained.
NO CONCBALMENT.
In arguing the question, Attorney
Welty said: I'VE wish to show by
this, your honor, that Mr. Bachtel
never concealed anything or tried to
conceal anything from the members
of the committee"
The witness proceeded to state that
he collected all the notes that would
become due the next week and gave
them to Bachtel Il did this in pur-
suance Of the orders given me by Mr.
Bachtel."
Questions we're asked concerning a
book call kept by the bank called the
"tickler." The witness said this book
was called the discount "tickler."
The testimony was concluded alb
ruptly at this point by the adjourn
ment of court. Slough will be on the
stand for probably two hours during
the morning session and it is probable
that Bachtel will be the next witness
called.
A motion made by the defense to
have all testimony regarding conver-
satIons had with Bachtel after March
6, 1905, excluded from the considera-
tion of the jury was oVerrGled by
Judge Hole as first step to the days
ing this the cross-examination of d.
rector Pomerene was continued by At
torney Welty. The witness admitted
that he holds some feeling against
Bachtel. He was asked II he was not
embittered against the defendant be-
cause he bought stock from Attorney
Thayer that did not prove a profitable
investment and replied that the deal
mentioned has nothing to do with ms
bitterness against the ex-cashier. A
long line of cross questioning regard
ing his conversations with Bachtel and
an endeavor to connect him In a mea-
ure with the responsibility for some
of the banks affairs followed. He was
asked if he knew that Davis and How
ellis were engaged in promoting the
erection of the Courtland hotel at a
cost of over 100000 The prosecution
objected to this line of questioning
and was sustained by the court. At
torney Welty stated that he wanted to
show that the witness had knowledge
of the banks condition and that after
the advent OF April 1905, the new com
pany had been formed in the Offices
of Shields, Thayer and Pomerene to
take over all the properties belonging
to w. l.. Davis.

THINKS CASTOR TOLD SOME
TRUTH.

Detective Meyer, of Youngstown,
was in the city last night and was
questioned by News representative
regarding his visit to Castor in the
Ohio penitentiary. He stated that he
thinks Castor told the truth in so far
as the Youngstown affair is concern
ed, and that his statement as to dyn-
amite cartridges that were to have
been exploded in front of the houses
of officials of that city is correct.
"A man who did not know of the ex-
istence of such set of schemes as
Castor has outlined, could not give
the details of them so WE'LL" said the
detective.
