ONLY A COMPROMISE

The verdict of the jury in the
Rasor trial at Medina, Saturday, is
rather remarkable one. The de-
fendant in the trial was accused o,
numbering his sweetheart. To the
average person, the matter at once
resolves itself into clear case o.
murder in the first degree or of in
nocence, yet the jury returned a
verdict of manslaughter, punishable
by a term OF from one 70 twenty
years in the penitentiary. The jur-
ors evidently were divided on the
question of guilt and this verdict
was reached In an effort to com
promise, custom which either
cheats justice on the one hand or
imposes an unmerited hardship on
the other. Guy Rasor either mur-
dered his sweetheart or he did not.
IL he murdered her, he did It with
premeditation and IF he committed
the crime he should be given the
penalty prescribed for #. If he
did not murder her, he should not
be made TO serve a term in the
states prison.
This compromising upon the part
OF the jurors is the sort Of thing
which is causing people ito lose
faith in the courts.

An Early Vindication

A striking vindication of the
Democratic cause, and a proof of
he wisdom OF the people in elect
ng 4 Democratic governor and
reasurer, comes in the announce
nent of the bids submitted for the
j'ate funds. What might have been
lccomplished had other Democratic
'andidates been elected? What
might be exposed If the legisla-
lure would but break away from
he partisan lash and permit Gov
arnor Harmon to conduct thor
ough investigation OF state depart
ments and institutions, something
which should be done, regardless

bill is to be emasculated and the
people must wait until next year

Harmon has asked of them and he
urges them to retrace their steps

the mind OF the junior senator

is being taken by political events
in Ohio. He recognizes that the
Republicans by standing in the way
OF an inquiry are standing in their
own light. The people have been
given evidence in one inyestiga-
tion that things are not right in all
OF the state offices. The manner
in which the states money was
being loaned out under the last ad-
ministration opened their eyes and
showed them the possibilities for
irregularities in the offices and at
the same time gave them the hint
that there might be something
wrong in offices other than the
state treasurer's and state auditors s
Reports which have been received

authorizes such an investigation by

far the legislature has refused.
This refusal indicates to the people
that there IS something there which
the Republicans want to keep con.

removed It will serve the same pur-
