SIMPLIFY CRIMINAL PROCE-
DURE.

Governor Campbell, in opening his
campaign for reelection, delivered
speech at Terrell Saturday which
contained much that every citizen
can endorse. Aside from his conten-
tons for the enforcement of a tax
law that is pretty in theory but pain
full IN effect, and his evident sinceri-
ty in supporting the thirtieth legis-
lature in all of efforts at legislation
"a justification that will never JUS
tify-there is much In Governor
Campbell to appeal to Texas demo-
Gratis. Perhaps the best thing in his
Terrell speech was the position TAX
en- by Governor Campbell as to the
enforcement of our criminal statutes,
or rather, their non-enforcement be-
cause of technicalities. In his speech
the governor said
''Our system of civil and criminal
procedure is loaded down with tech
nicalities and complicated machin-
cry and should be simplified. In nti-
cation, the poor and the weak are
at disadvantage when contesting
with the strong, and as a result of
the network of technicalities in the
criminal procedure, the worst crimi-
nal often goes unwhipped of justice,
says Gov. Campbell. This Is absolute
ly true; and it is shameful truth.
The governor adds: "The present
complex and cumbersome procedure
is a shield to the criminal, defeats
justice, increases the number of
courts and adds unnecessary burdens
upon the taxpayers. Perplexing tech
nicalities encourage crime, employ
the time of the courts to no useful
end and the people pay the costs. A
rigid enforcement of all the laws is
essential to the social well-being and
IS demanded as the only safeguard
Of life, liberty and prosperity
AS Gov. Campbell says, ITO longer
tolerate system of technical OBJ
struction behind which murderers
and rogues may barricade themselves
and defy laws would be reflection
upon the wisdom, if not the sincerity
of our craftsmanship. To say that
crime can run rampant in Texas,
that our laws can not be enforced,
is to admit that we are incapable of
self-government. That our law-abid-
ing citizenship is growing impatient
and restless at the laws delays and
the uncertainty of punishment for
crime can not be denied. That there
is just ground for such discomfort
must be conceded. There is too much
machinery in our criminal trials ;
too much literature and too much re-
finement in our courts charges to the
jury, and too many loopholes through
which criminals may escape. When
the courts charge in a criminal case
is heard, especially the charge in
murder cases, the more intelligent
citizen Is often made to wonder how
any man is ever punished for crime;
how 1t is possible for any juror not
trained in the law to ever measure
the guilt or innocence of the accused
person by rules and distinctions not
always understood by the courts and
the lawyers themselves. 1t is not a
surprise that juries Disagree, that
Criminals go unwhipped of justice,
that new trials are forced, cases re-
versed by the appellate courts and
that the mob spirit is rife in Texas
The judges are not at fault, the iur-
ors are not always to blame-the
main difficulty is in the system

towns regarding tn, raising of sugar
beets. Mr.. Cutler explained that un-
less a larger acreage was planted than
there had been the last year or so 1t
would be necessary for the sugar COM
pany to cease operating the factory. as
the small crop of sugar beets raised
here does not warrant the expense of
operating two factories 50 close togetll-
