sons and property OF the common citizens.
Penny Arcade Talk
Now We hear in the graphophones In penny
arcades speech Of this candidate, including IN
sonorous tones, why should the poor work
man be denied the sacred right Of trial by
jury for his alleged crime white man gets
a siCksh feeling when he sees such a deliberate
attempt TO suck sympathy by the most internal
deceit
What brought Up the subject was a demand
by the Labor Trust leaders that their law
breakers. sluggers and dynamters when they
disobey the orders OF the court and do these
acts be tried for contempt Of that court by a
jury instead Of being sentenced by the court
itself for contempt Of its orders.
In that plan the Trust leaders hope to make
it easy for their workers tc do these acts and
escape by packed or frightened jury.
But mark you the clean-cut distinction and
here lift the stone and put sunlight on the
hidden bleached squrmers and show how they
try to msinform the public TO gain sympathy
and play upon the emotions of the uniformed.
Under the present law every criminal has a
righ TO trial for his crime by jury.
The paid sugger of the entertainment com
mlttee" Of a labor union always has jury trial
for manning killing another workman, or for
blowing up property. He is tried by law
court and a Jury. Notice therefore the hypocrisy
in the maudlin appeal of Bryan and other will
ful perverters Of fact when they say why
should the wOrkingInan be denied the sacred
right of trIai by jury for his alleged Crime?" A
who commits crime against the people
whether he has smut his nose and poses as
q martyred ''workingman" or has his finger
nails manicured and is a member of Il capital
trust is always tried by jury. Never is the
criminal tried for his crime by the Equity Court
which issues an injunction ordering him not to
commit It If he goes on and does the act In
spite Of the courts orders not to, when that
court simply orders him mot to-" until the
court can enquire into his right to do the act
he intends, then in the event he wilfully dis
obeys the courts order, he is held 'in contempt
and is punished not for the crime (Which must
be tried by the jury in a law court but for
disobedience Of the courts orders.
