PUNISHING THE INNOCENT.

Sioux Falls Press: Comparisons
are frequently drawn between the
prosecution of criminals in this uuun,
try and in Europe, and attention call
ed to the vastly greater proportion
of convictions secured in European
courts. The conclusion usually given
is that there is something wrong
with American jus tice, which permits
tn guilty to escape while in Eurone
punishment almost always follows on
the commission Of a crime. FACES
are constantly coming to light, how
ever. which show that the innocent
are often punished in European
courts in the excess of zeal of the
prosecution. The case of Florence
Maybrick, who is now touring Amer
lea as a chautauqua lecturer, is gen.
orally considered in this country as a
miscarriage of justice in England. IN
that cas- the prisoner was given !i..-
tie opportunity to put up an ade-
quate defense. The evidence was cir
.cnmstantial. yet the Judge. who is
also the prosecuting officer, demanded
of the jury that they bring in a ver-
dit of guilty.
Just recently a rig picker in Tours.
France. has confessed to the murder
in 1901 Of five children of a farmcr
lame Briere. The father was ar
rested for the crime. and at the trial
the Judge got down from the bench
and denounced the prisoner as guilty.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial. the only direct evidence tending
to prove that Briere was innocent.
Yet he was sentenced to life impris-
onment and died in prison.
The action of the fudge in both o;
these cases would have invalidateu
the trial in any American court.
When this government was founded
u forefathers were profoundly i'm
pressed with the fact that a poor man
or one against whom the judges en-
tertained any prejudice, had little
chance to escape conviction in Euro
pean courts, even though he were
innocent. Orr criminal practice
was organized on the theory that Il
is better for a hundred guilty men
to escape punishment than for one
innocent man to suffer punishment.
It is still a question if the majority
of the people of the United Starcs
do not prefer the American system.
e though it be somtimes difficult
to convict the guilty. The PRINCIPAL
complaint against our courts arises
from the fact that the expedients
through which the accused is able
to escape punishment, initiate in "a
vor of the man who has plenty of
money to spend in defense. If a man
could be found which would enable
the poorest man to put up as strong a
defense as the man of wealth. there
would not be so much complaint
against the courts of the land.

VIRGINIA TOWN IS
RUN BY MANAGER

The n. o. Item.
Staunton, Va, June is. Whc4'
Staunton, weary of the old aldcrmaniS
system with its temptations aud OPP
portunitics for graft" and its ever
present extravaganza, began looking.
about for a better method of munich
pal government, the commission plan
seemed the most promising scheme
available. /, has been tried in Gal
weston with such success that other
cities had adopted it. The Des Moincs
plan was also considered, but barrie
of the commission form of government
was found in the constitution of Nir
g1nia, which imposed upon each city
within its borders the necessity Of hay
ing an aldermanic board.
Unable to rid themselves of the al
dermanic board and adopt the more
modern plan, the people went as far
as they could. They abolished the
old system under which the city coun-
ell appoints committees to attend to
the various departments of city gov
ernment and created the office OF gen
eral manager. The general manager
was given "entire charge and control
Of all the executive work of the city in
its various departments and full con
troll of the heads of departments and
employees of the city" He was also
clothed with authority ito make all
contracts and for labor and supplies,
and to perform all the administrative
and executive work now performed by
the several standing committees of the
council. except the finance, ordinance
and auditing committees"
Charles f. Ashbnrner was elected
general manager. He filled the posi-
tion so satisfactorily that, at the end
of the first year, he was given a salary
increase of $500 per annum. He still
holds the job, and it is certain that
Staunton will never go back to the old
system of government by ward politl
tians

panies one per cent Of the annual pre-

were heavily enough taxed already.

and that the passage Of the Noise bill
would only make matters worse. The
Orleans Senator also read a Telegram
signed by all the fire insurance com
panies domiciled in New Orleans pro.
testing against the passage of the
Noise bill.
Senator Marks defended the Noise
bill, and asked if anybody had ever
heard tha. the insurance companies
needed an excuse to raise rates, saying
that the people were at the mercy O
| fire insurance companies. Senator
Marks moved as a substitute that tht

ton to indefinitely postpone the Mois'

vailed by vote of twenty-five t

CARP versus BUFFALO,
+. G. DANTIN.

The fish in Spanish Lake, that are
frequently styled Buffalo, are the Ger
man Carp. They are the result OF the
government planting some years ago.
Many of the m have reached enormous
size indicating both age and the exist
ence of proper conditions. While the
flesh of the carp is firm and very pal
atable. yet there is no great demand
for it locally. This, in all probability,
is due to the fact that the carp has
been called Buffalo by the unin-
formed, and the misnomer has arous
ed the popular prejudices. The lake
today is filled with carp-one fisher
man says they are there by millions
yet, the only means of taking them is
by the net.
The flesh is dressed and packed on
ice for shipment. 1t is being shipped
in considerable quantities to New Or
leans, where it is bought in competi-
tion with the same variety and species
from running streams. A pleasing
fact is that the fish from Spanish Lake
seems to be Of a superior quality, and
this advantage is stimulating a greater
demand for the product of our lake.
