To Write the "Unwritten Law?"

An advanced position on jury
made ''unwritten law has been
taken by Judge c. 1. Smith, of the
Minnesota State bench. DR.. Charles
Zebulin, of the University of Chi
cago, had said in a lecture that the
unwritten law represents "the low
, est state we have reached in the
twentieth century in the interpreta-
ton Of morals" To which Judge
Smith makes vigorous reply in this
fashion:
IN my estimation this man is abso-
lutely wrong. 1 do not think that there
IS any crime worse or more revolving
/ tnan the FuinatiOn OF a home, and 1 do
not think there IS any punishment too
severe for It, II is my belief that IN
ninety-nine cases out Of a hundred the
decisions which have been based on the
sO-called unwritten law have been thor
Ougnly just and equitable.
There is no doubt but this Law viii
be eventually Incorporated in the laws
OF this country. and I believe that il
viii assist IN upholding the standard OF
morality.
Not reader punishment accord
ing to present law does Judge
Smith propose, but a change in the
law so that murder with its provo
cation in supposed invasion of the
home shall be accepted as justified.
10 Eastern minds, even to those of
the Southeast, this amendment of
the statutes viii not seem likely
Who should be judge of the provo
cation? Suppose the murderer had
no reason to think his victim guilty
more than another man? Would II
be possible to make the citizen supe-
rior to the law in this one respect,
and keep him reverent to the law
in all others?
The evil lies in the courts, not in
the statutes. Many a man who has
committed murderous assault has
Gone,so because he did not hope for
redress at law. Let the mind run
over the stories which have come
to our Washington ears, stories of
illicit association and unspeakable
medical missteps, and then tabu-
late the number of malpracticing
doctors and guilty men who have
been punished. It viii not be large.
Il will not even compare with the
showing thai in America only one
out Of every seventy men accused
on good ground Of having commit
ted murder as ever convicted.
DR.. Zebulin may not be right, but
no more is his critic. The way to
safeguard the home does not lie in
the direction of individual lawless-
Eess; it lies in the punishment of
the despoiler by due and awful proc
ess of law.
