CONFESSION BY TORTURE

Torturing a prisoner to obtain a
confession, otherwise known as a
giving the third degree, is falling
under public condemnation. In the
large cities when a man is suspected
of a serious crime and insists that he
his innocent, the police often resort
to sweating" process which oft
ines brings confession whether
guilty or not
Any one would confess to any
thing after being kept away for two
or three days by kicks, assaults and
questioning, just to escape the tor
ture This confession, wrung from
the prisoner in this most unfair man.
ner, is used against the prisoner. 1t
is a principle of the criminal law
that lit were better than ten guilty
should escape than that one innocent
should be punished" While the sweat
box might occasionally secure con-
viction which could not be obtained
otherwise, it's iuhumanity is enough
to condemn it, as many innocent men
are subjected to it's fiendishness.
In discussing the Sheppard muir
der, which is under investigation, the
New York Times says:
A chapter on False Confessions
in a late book should be carefully
read, not only by the New Jersey
detectives and prosecuting officials
who are investigating the Sheppard
murder, but also by everybody who is
| disposed to assume that because the
man Zastera has admitted the perpe-
tration of the triple crime its nlys-
terry is solved. Possibly it is, for OF
course, there are true confessions as
well as false ones, and the latter are
| undoubtedly rare as compared with
the former, but if the published ac-
counts of how this confession was ex-
torted are correct it is altogether
worthless as legal evidence, and ii
should be taken with great caution
even as the foundation for a private
and irresponsible opinion.

less severe torture by the infliction
of physical pain, is utterly untrust-
worthy. 1t must be remembered, too,
that every question asked by the in
quisitors was a suggestion in the
modern sense of that word and there
is no improbability in the theory that
what Zastera confessed was merely

Making Farm Life Attractive
New York Times)

1t is announced that the President
will Immediately after the adjourn
ment of Congress appoint a commits
sion for the thorough study Of rural
life with a view to determine in what
way the Government can most effect
ually cooperate in its Improvement.
The names mentioned for this com
mission are those of Prof L. H. Bal
ley of Cornell University, Prof. A A.
NOyes. President of the Massachu-
sets Institute of Technology, and Mr..
Clifford Pinchot, head of the Forestry
Bureau in the Department of Agricul-
ture. No better selection could be
made. These gentlemen are OF high
intelligence, practical ability. and eX-
perience in the line of the inquiry to
which they are appointed.
The President has been interested
in this matter for a long time and
has given to it more attention than
could have been expected in his busy
life. AS is not unnatural in him, he is
attracted to the social and ethical
side of the problem, and especially
desires TO see what can be done TO
improve farm life in this direction.
Among the questions to be submitted
to his commission are the following:
How can the life of the farm family
be made less solitary, fuller Of OPP
portunity, freer from drudgery, more
comfortable, happier and more at
tractive?
How can life on the farm be kept
| on the highest level and where it is
not already on that level to be so i'm
proved, dignified, and frightened as
to awaken and keep alive the pride
and loyalty of the farmers boys and
girls, of the farmers wife and of the
farmer himself?
How can compelling desire to
live on the farm be aroused in chill
dren who are born on the farm?
1t will occur TO hard-headed econ
omist that the first step toward max
ing the life of the farm more attract
i've is to make it more profitable, and
that, as we have already had occas-
ion 20 point out, can be aided by pTac-
UiCal organization for the purpose of
cooperation. But while this is the
first step, and while others will be
futile until this has measurably been
| assured, there is no reason why all
possible steps should not be carefully
studied, and then promoted as oppor-
tunity offers or can be made What
| in general way is needed is co-Ordi-
nation of the various forces and agen-
cies devoted to the same end, and on
| this line the commission, in the light
of experiments made in other coun-
| tries and beginnings made here should
be able to do valuable work.

DIDN'T KNOW 1T WAS LOADED

Another job of equivocating and
denying has been provided for Gov.
Smith, and his campaign Manager,
Anderson. The Albany Herald seems
to have gotten the pair into a hole
over their endorsement of the negro
equality circular in Brooks county.
Manager Anderson wrote the fol-
lowing letter:
Atlanta, Ca, May II, 19O8.-J. H.
Wade, Esq, Quitman, Ga.-Dear Sir:
Governor Smith requests me to as
sure you of his hearty approval of
the Acknowledgement and negro circu-
lar being circulated in his behalf in
Brooks county. We are going to get
out something similar for the state
at large. Yours etc,
J. L. ANDERSON,
Chairman Campaign Com.
When the wave of indignation grew
so strong, Chairman Anderson gave
out an explanation" in which he
says: Neither Gov Smith, myself
nor the Brooks county Hoke Smith
Club ever dreamed that the circular
in question would be regarded as a
charge that Mr.. Brown favored the
social equality of the negro with the
white man. Of course l did not in
tend to be misunderstood as making
any such an accusation"
If this were the first offense, the
injured innocence" racket might
be appealed to with better grace. But
false charge after false charge has
been made, and many who heard Gov.
Smiths speeches have not learned of
the mistatements. Fortunately, the
great bulk of the voters are readers,
either of the daily or weekly press,
and by this means Mr.. Brown is en-
abled to get the truth in circulation.
The ends sought by the Brooks
county circular were most despicable
and that a campaign manager should
propose to send out the same kind of
matter is indicative of a very low
plane of political uprightness.
