The state of Alabama, which has
been in u condition of alteration fol-
some time. now proposes to with.
draw right of trial by jury in an eff.
fort to enforce the Fuller law pro.
viding for the abolition of liberty in
the interest of an anti-liquor crusade.
While the right of trial by jury is
cust0marily spoken of as inalienable,
It Is SO only when q state of sanity
In the body polite Is presumed The
federal constitution protects the right
against violation by congress and the
federal judiciary, but except as they
are restrained by their own constitu-
lions. states may abolish the Jury sys.

Fuller law made It plain when the
bill was passed that the forces behind
1t were slated for ultimate defeat.
The next exploit Of the fanatics was
to inaugurate a movement to amend
the Alabama constitution in the In.
terest of the Fuller law Now comes
as a logical development an effort to
gain the desired end by denying the
accused liquor sellers the right to be
tried under a system that has stood
for some seven centuries in the most
highly civilized countries. despite its

featuring concern that should spread

This is on the theory that a thing
