Now as to juries The editor of the Star may
be ignorant of the fact that juries do not always
find as to the evidence.-The jury system is great
one but it has it's defects-That they do not all
ways find as to thelaw and evidence is well known
to every well informed man, for instance they do
not often find a man guilty of lynchiDg and other
very grave crimes, even when his guilt is known to
and admitted by all.
The Star says in conclusion:
eff the Fitzgerald loafers nos be convict
ed in the courts for the ofense of vagrancy, that
that is proof conclusive that they are not guilty OF
that offense and they ought not to be convicted"
Which is as correct as any part OF It's long
editorial, that is it isn't correct at all. Many
guilty Fitzgerald vagrant has escaped just pun
ishment because the proof was not conclusive but
more often they escape through the 'skilp' and
chicanery attorneys.
Now final suggestion if the editor OF the
Enterprise was an attorney at law and a notorious
ly bad character should make application to him to
defend him on charge and believed from his state
ment was guilty he would simply refuse to take
the case, and if he should be appointed by the
court to make the defence he would give him the
benefit of the truth, and nothing but the truth SO

AIbany's First Nine Month Of Prohibition

The effect of prohibition in Albany as
reflected in the records of the police court
was strikingly shown by story in yesterdays
Herald For the first nj ne months of 1907,
Ito arrests were made by police officers for
violations of city ordinances. During the cor
responding period of the present yaar the uum-
Der of arrests was 4GS, decrease of precisely
go per cent. The revenue from the police
court for the first nine months of 1907 was So
26S. 20 while for the corresponding period of
the first year under prohibition it was
81, 146 a decrease of 50 per cent. II it i'm
possible not to attribute this remarkable de-
crease of petty crime in the community to the
effect of prohibision. 1t is true that few
blind tigers have piled their trade, and it has
not been impossible for those desiring strong
drink to secure it, but the removal ofth open
saloon has taken temptation from the path
of the weak brother with strong appetite for
strong drink, and has at the same time closed
number of resorts which were necessarily an
encouragement to certain lawlessness. On the
whole, Albany's first year under prohibition
may be said to have brought blessings which
abundantly compensate for all it may have
cost.-Albany Herald.
The Herald states that sits true that few a
blind tigers have piled their trade, its probable
that considerable whiskey has been handled by
these illegal dealers. Indeed the whiskey people
claim that they are selling as much as the saloons
did but of course the figures quoted above by the
Herald make it clear that that claim is without
it is made for the effect by people who
wish to see the return of the saloon. If crime has
been reduced 90 to S2% in spite of the blind tigers
then how vast will be the improvement when the
law abiding people enforce the law against the
blind tigers and reform the illicit trader put him
