- taee over the American system in a case of interna-

DR.. Crppen, the American dentist charged with the murder of
five days.
In America a case that has attracted SO much public curiosity
and interest might have been expected 10 consume as many weeks
or months.
In contrast with the notorious and noisome Thaw case, this
record shames Americas Iega! criminal procedure. There were no
direct witnesses of the crime in the Crippen case; there we're many
in the Thaw case. CrPpon was convicted on the most direct cir
cumstancial evidence; yet despite the opportunity for tedious dis
cussion, the lawyers discussed The merits of the case briefly and
pointedly, t4e Judge charged succinctly, ASd left it to the jury.
The Jury, looking only to the merits of Inc case, pronounced the
accused guilty and the Judge sentencedAhW to hang on Nov. IS.
An appeal may be taken and be heard and the execution yet
take place within two months.
In America t is possible for Il man to be tried, convicted, have
his case appealed and decided, and the final word pronunced within
sixty days. But how many cases does the reader know of where it
was done?
Public sentiment, if properly aroused, will help solve the prob
fly them than to permit the law to be fouted and brought into the
disregard which failures to inhict legal penalties involve.
Under any law that was ever framed, injustice may be done.
Even under the Divine law, the innocent suffer with the guilty.
Speedy legal trials are not to De sought at the expense of just
and fair trials. But the system that permits a lawyer to practically
ignore his case on its first trial, confident that the newly discovered
evidence which his industry in the beginning might have develop
ed, can be used afterwards as a basis for a plea for a new trial. is an
Ubiquitous, denoralizng and danning system.
For the law to bear too heavily upon one man hurts an individ-
ual. For the law TO be Houted and disregarded, IN even one case
hurts the whole state,-Ahant Constitution.

mB Republican misrule and corruption is almost at an end.
- Democratic governors have been elected in New York,
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey and in Ohio, all replacing
Republicans. The returns also show tina. the Democrats will control
the House of Representatives of the Sixty-second Congress Of the
United States, and the prospects for a Democratic President in 1912
are brighter than they have been since Clevcland's administration.
In Tennessee machine politics and Pattersonism were wiped off
the slate and Ben w. Hooper, the Fusion candidate, was elected by
a generous margin The significance of this was purely local and
does not mean the overthrow of Democracy in that state. The pco-
pie were tired of the wranglings and strife and unholy alliances un-
der the last administration, and the utter disregard for law and order.
A new and better political era has made its beginning in Tennessee.
Very little interest was taken in the election in this State and
the vote polled was a light one. All of the proposed amendments
carried except the Elective Judiciary, the result of which will not be
known until the returns have been Canvassed.
