LET ENGLAND TAKE NOTICE.

There is dismay and excitement in

affair, would disturb him, any He
treated the disgraceful affair in a very
abstract manner, as if it was discon-
nected from all surrounding influences
and provocations. 1t was stated in the
paper that the crowd reasoned that if
the courts had to deal with this brutal
murderer, that his money would be
freely spent for his defense, and that it
would be another Busse affair, and
they decided to punish him. as they
thought he deserved, then and there.

ABOLISH the OATH IN COURT.

From the Monitor, Catholic publ
cation Of Newark, N. j., comes the
suggestion that the oath in law courts
be abolished. 1t opines that society
will be as well protected and God more
honored by its abolition than by its
retention. Surveying the field it sees
so much Of perjury in the courts, es-
pecially in criminal trials that 1t asks
itself If the oath serves any good pur-
pose. Railroad magnates, insurance
{ officials and others dnd refuge under
the answer, II don't remember" or In
the holder forms of perjury that affirm
or deny. 1t fnds that religious indif-
ference is rampant in our land" When
& religion dies from the hearts OF the
people the reverence for the oath dies
with it for an oath is essentially an act
Of religion"
The Monitor is inclined to see things
thru pessimistio eyes. 1t is wrong In
Its inference that religion is dying, tor
4 the growth Of religious feeling is ev-
erywhere manifest. There is much per-
jury in criminal cases today but 1T is
questionable whether there is more or
less than In any time Or period past.
There are more suits. more opportunity
D for perjury and more publicity. That
we hear and read of more wrong In
the world is not a proof that the world
I is growing worse. Perjury in criminal
cases has existed since Adam laid the
blame on Eve and Cain attempted to
swear. out of the murder of his brother.
Neither religion nor fear OF the law
will stop it when it becomes means
OF self preservation. 1t goes back to the
primal law, the overruling instinct that
prompts all animals to save themselves
by any and all means. When the
church was most powerful in Ireland
perjury was most common If we are to
trust the instances that have come
down to US as part of the lives and
practice OF great Irish criminal law
yers. 1t was as common under the
sway, of another church in England
where men swore away the lives OF
Others for pittance and false Wit
nesses and fraudulent bailers went
about the streets and confines of the
law courts with straw in their shoes
as the symbol Of their calling. In all

lowed the courts. There is nothing to
prove it more common now than hith-
erto.
One of the reasons for the common
ness of perjury in law courts is the In
frequency of prosecution OF persons thus
guilty. A prosecution for perjury is
rare thing, conviction still rarer. What
is the reason? Can it he as the Moni
tor intimates. because sin nearly EVIL
cry criminal case the evidence iaN
cooked to suit the requirements? WhoIl
does the cooking ?" ID
What we need as a quietus on the
commoner forms OF false swearing is
law enforcement, at least in fragrant
cases. AS the journal quoted from
points out, the religious obligation fans
in the face of fear and greed. The
protection of the courtsrbelongs most
to the courts The question may fairly
be asked of judges and county attor- :
neys, "Why are prosecutions and con-
victions of perjury SO infrequent when
the crime is so common?"
