POTTER ON CONTRACTS.

II our information is correct, and,
we presume it is, since The Sun was
the only newspaper that had a re-
porter at the school board meeting,
President Joseph Z. Potter has adj
vanced a theory on the law of com
tracts that will knock all the syllabi
in the Kentucky reports into a cooked
hat. His supreme and ultimate au-
thority is the charter, a document
that heretofore has not been played
distinguished part in the pro-
ceedings of the school board, the
most conspicuous members of which
we're never either nominated or
elected by the people of Paducah.
President Potter's views were ex-
pressed in connection with the con-
tract with the superintendent. and il
is to the effect. that since the school
charter does not expressly confer on
the school board the right and duty
to make this contract, and does con
fer on the board the right to dis
charge employees. the contract is bind
ing on the board, and II may disre-
gard the written terms of the con-
tract with Superintendent Lieb. He
stopped there, of course. but the
principal he enunciated went
marching on" It follows that the
board is not bound by the terms of its
contract with Superintendent-elect
Carnagey, by its contracts with the
teachers and principals. They are,
ADD POTTER Editorial .dmk
to this dictum mere crea-
lures of the whims of majority of
the trustees, stripped of those usual
rights of the ordinary
adult citizen. and not even invested
with that semblance of authority
with which the terms of brief con-
tract invest the holder Fortunately
this declaration of the president of
the school board does not alter any
existing facts, and the school board
is bound, like any other corporate
body. by its contracts for next year.

the prosecution of a criminal, except
society as a whole, and then the aim
of the prosecution should be TO meet
the ends of justice, and secure such
verdict and judgment, as shall bene-
fit society, discourage crime and pre-
vent a repetition OF the ofense. II
Is obvious that a lawyer hired by a
relative of a murdered man will &c
to lengths in securing a conviction,
f,om which a public prosecutor would
refrain.
If the criminal business OF the
county were placed in the hands OF
the county attorney he could be in
touch with all criminal matters and
be prepared TO prosecute the cases
vigorously as they come up. There
need be no limit to the assistance
given him. He could have as many
assistant county attorneys as the ma
ture and amount of the county bust
ness should warrant, and the work
could be so divided that the criminal
business would not be neglected
Then the amendment, abolishing the
office of commonwealth attorney
should make provision against law
yers with private retainers partici-
pating in criminal prosecutions for
the purpose of "railroading" accused
persons to the penitentiary. The
state is able to employ all the law
yers she needs to prosecute criminals,
and it is her duty to discourage the
use of lawyers as instruments of
private vengeance.

PROSECUTION AND PERSECUTION

PROSECUTION AND PERSECUTION
The sun is pleased to note that the
state association of county attorneys
concurred in the sentiment Of County
Attorney Alben Barkley's speech, ad-
svocating the abolishlng of the Office
of commonwealth attorney, as an
unnecessary expense on the state
Aside from this feature of IL, and
other economies connected with the
proposed reform, there is a moral
side to the question, that would be
promoted by the placing all of all
criminal business in each county in
the hands of the county attorney.
Under the present system, where a
circuit embraces more than one coun-
ty, the commonwealth attorney can
not possibly be acquainted with the
criminal business in every county,
nor can he enter the busy court dur
ing the criminal term and acquaint
himself sufficiently with all the facts
and circumstances OF each case 10
properly represent the state and pros
ecute criminal cases with vigor and
effect. Consequently the burden
rests on the county attorney. or the
duty of prosecution is neglected.
AS a necessary result of this con
dition. when a crime is committed
against persons or families Of SUN
Gent means to take up the prosecu-
tion on their own behalf, attorneys
are hired to prosecute the accused,
and the retainer of these hired law
vers Is not for the purpose OF secur-
ing Justice for the accused and for the
people. but for the purpose OF infict-
ing revenge on the accused, turning
pablsc prosecution into a private
and absolutely thWarting
the ends or justice. This Is one OF
the most incoHsiston, practises OF our
conrts.
