NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
JI'RIES


has long been tendency to sneer
at the quality of justice that is met
ed out in murder cases in the south.
But the verdict IN the Carmack case
almost universally accepted as just
and especially when :. Is contraste1
with the verdicts of northern juries
recently when prominent men were
the defendants. goe3 far toward
showing the fallacy OF this all too
prevalent belief. The Philadelphia
Ledger says:
The best thing that has happened
for the south and for the United
State in many a long day is 5he
conviction of Duncan b. and Robin
J. Cooper, of the murder IN the
second degree, for the killing or
ex-senator Edward w. Carmack, OF
Tennessee. A northern newspaper
some time since commenting on the
trial, said that ii was mighty rare
occurrence for a white man to be
punt he'd for murder in the south. "
The criticism was true, with a sug-
gestion Of the false, In that 1t was
applied only to the south. 1t is a
rare thing" for a white man Occu-
plying the same relative position OF
he Coopers to be hanged or fittingly
pun shed for murder in the north
A common garoter or thug or a
burglar is likely to be hanged for
murder anywhere in the United
States, but the criminal admins
tration and public opinion are both
so lax and ineffio ent that if passi on
or poMtics enters into the case, or IL
immense wealth be at command, tho
jury trial as in the Thaw case, is
usually turned into a farce. The
court room becomes a CHASTITY spec
tacle for a travecty upon Justice, the
xperts and neurologists make a
mock of the state, the jury becomes
hopelessly befogged and the culprit
escapes.
Tennessee is 20 be congratulated
II has done better than New York
It has won a triumph under cir
cUmstances calcu ated to balk ju-'.ice
in any jurisdiction. Its ignorant
Jury, chosen under ridiculous limi-
iations imposed by the ttate law,
has given a judgment with a much
ruer sense of Justice and raagou
han If they had been a collection Of
amateur psychologist IS.
The condition exhibited n stats.
zeal form is appal ing. Life Is
cheaper in the United States than n
any alleged civilized country. with
he exception Of certain parts Of
over Italy, noted for their Grim
mas, and one or two places in Spa n
y the number of murders and bom-
icides in the United States be consid.
cred in comparison with the record
OF Eng and 1t will be perceived that
we are n the Middle Ages. When
here is a mi-carriage of justice In
San Domingo or Haiti We dismiss II
with sheer, but there is no civilized
country in which life is so cheap q,
Il is in this great republic. The re-
suit of the Carmack trial is both
amazing and just. and, il is to be
hoped will have a ga utary effoct
upon the south and the country.

A CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT BANK

government bank. Jackson found one established and in working
order, and he destroyed it. Whether he performed a great service
or did a great injury in so doing has ever since been a mooted
question. But times change and conditions alter. What might
have been impolitic in the early thirties, when Jackson removed
the United States funds from the United States Bank and caused
its collapse, may be polite now. The nation was young and un-
developed then. The national expenses did not exceed $~3O,OOOOOO
annually, and in 1885, before Jackson went out of office, all the
national debt had been paid off. In the last year of his admins
tration the total imports were $3.50, 9SO,OS5 and the total exports
$685. 63 040, a mere fraction of what they are today. AS late as
1910 the whole amount of deposits in the banks was 1850 ,s57
and the total money circulation was $1s6305,4ss. The total of
the national wealth was about four billions and the total popu-
lation seventeen millions. Compare these figures with those of
1908: Population, 81, 900, 1000; total wealth, $4,000 900 900; public
debt, s93sy 100000; bank deposits, 81, 7s4,511 1859; imports, $1,194,
341, 1872; exports, $1,s6O, 773 ,346. The currency system that suited
the country over seventy years ago, under such widely different
conditions, has been greatly changed since in some details, but
not in the fundamental principle. Is the country prepared for a
central government bank? The controversy will soon begin in
earnest.

The project of meadow
development, with a ship
canal and a municipal dock
system, has grown in the
favor of the community.
LARGER OPMENT
OF AMI BAY

Every man capable of intelligent thought recognizes its feasibilit
and great prospective benefits. With the project so well estat
lished in public favor, the recommendations by the Mayor for TIL
development of the entire area of the meadows, SO as to max
the improvement consistent and harmonious, giving to the cit
all the advantages to be derived from the utilization of tn
meadows and the bay-front for commerce and manufacture, will
be appreciated at their worth. We are near enough to New Yor
to get inspiration from that chys large public enterprise. Ne,
York does things" and gets big results. In a smaller way, New
ark does things, too, and also achieves results. All our larg
enterprise has proved successful, and the greatest of all, as result
will show, will be the development of the meadows and bayfront
The prospective benefits to our city are limitless.

WHERE EALSEHOOD
NM TRICKERY A

to by the opponents of the amendments comes with exceeding i'll
grace from the amendment promoters. The only campaign or.
ganization consisted of the committee of lawyers that sent out
bolerplate literature to the newspapers to influence the public
judgment. The only trickery was in the preparation of the amend.
ments for the election, the popular Assembly district amendment
being htched to the unpopular termextension amendment, to pull
it through. The arguments employed in favor of the amendments
were uncandid, evasive and misleading. The people were promised
benefits that would never materiaize. The economy involved was
grossly misrepresented, while the evils that might follow and that
surely would ensue we're studiously ignored. In the forum of
public debate the amendments did not have a logical leg to stand
on, and that's why they were knocked out.

AGE FOR NEXT WINTER

The defeat of the judiciary amendment disposed of the necessity
for new law judges and important judicial assignments. There
will be appointments of an Appellate Judge, a Supreme Court
judge and a Circuit Court judge, with, also, three county law
judges, two District Court judges and four county prosecutors.
The most important State offices to be filled will be those of
member of the State Board of Equalization and State labor com.
missioner. If the county boards of equalization. of taxes are not
abolished, there will be one appointment for each county. The
balance of the executive patronage will consist of appointments
to commissions and boards, in nearly all cases unsalaried.
