Nevada State penitentiary at
Carson City. is the adjustment of
the solitary confinement Ct
prisoners in the condemned cells.
This order was issued by Baker
some time ago. and now the
prisoners under death sentence are
confined to an enclosed yard,
within the main enclosure, during
the day time. However, the men
are returned to the conden red
cells at night.
This reform was brought about
by the warden's observations of
the conditions of the men who are
under the death sentence. Peart,
who was sent up from Humboldt
county, was confined in the con-
demned cell for seventeen months
until his sentence was committed
to life Imprisonment. Pear is
now physical wreck and has heen
placed on the prison farm where
he will receive plenty Of quito cor
exercise. Mangana was also con-
fined in the same cells for sc ;en-
teen months. He is still und.r a
death sentence for the murder of
a saloonkeeper in the southern part
of Nye county, the crime having
been committed nearly three years
ago. Casey, the Goldield
m urderer, spent about the same
length of time under like con-
ditions. 1t is the intention of
Warden b aker to keep the
prisoners under death sentcn ce
separate from the others, and only
place the death watch over the
men for about two weeks pre- sed-
ing the date of execution. -

THE DUTIES OF JUDGES

In America we have the bad
habit Of calling the trial judge a
tyrant II he takes an effective part
in case. What we ask of him is
to maintain the dull indffe renee
Of an umpire. To satisfy custom
he must neither think. speak nor
act except to decide disputed
points of law or procedure. In
England the trial judge really
conducts the tr ial. He asks ques-
tions Of the witnesses freely. He
makes such cursory comments on
the evidence as he thinks proper
and keeps the lawyers to their
business with a stern hand.
The reslts are worth compar-
ing. In this country law suits and
criminal trials drag out to all
eternity, while in England they
are finished promptly. Here the
courts are chronically congested
with unfinished work. Verdicts are
perpetually being reversed and
new trials ordered on trivial
technicalities. The less the trial
judge counts for the more some
lawyers make Of his little errors
Of etiquette. In the face of
professional determinat ion to
reduce the Judge to a cipher no
wonder that he shrinks from doing
anything more than is literally
forced upon him.
Judges are haunted by dread
Of reversal" A trial judge who
has a number Of rulings reversed
by the Supre me Court loses caste.
1t begins to be whispered about
that he has not "a judicial mind.
He does not know the law" He
may know more law than the entire
bench Of Spreme Judges, but that
makes no difference. They are in
position to discredit him and
he Is helpless. SO his mind is bent
upon attending to the little
technicalities which will weigh
heaviest before the appellate
tribunal. He does not dare to
let etiquette siik to a subordinate
place and fix his attention on truth
and justice for 1t is etiqette whic
will seal the fate of his rulings and
make or mar his reputation.
No doubt all this will be changed
sometime and our judicial procedure
will approach more nearly to that
standard Of efficiency which has
been attained in England, whose
law is often the model for ours.
OF course, there is such thing as
making too much Of mere expe-
dition In trials. Just as OBJ
struction and delay pervert
justice SO haste may do the same
thing. The list Of innocent men
convicted Of crime is far too long
already and speedier trials might
stretch It out still farther. We
must remember. however, that
these unjust convictions have
occurred under the reign of
technicalities. In spite of the
claim that endless ritualistic
ceremonies make for the safety of
innocence we behold innocent m en-
too frequently sent to prison. The
fact seems to sbe that efficient
work In court protects the un-
Justly accused better than too
much technIcality. - Elk change.

There should be no guesswork in
dairying.
Watch the pastures and give the
COW feed OF some kind to keep her
wants supplied.
Some pastures are so poor that the
COW is forced to eat things she does
not like In order to live.
The first great requisite In the care
of stock is perfect cleanliness. pure
air and abundant sunshine.
The proper test of any seed grain
is not how 1t looks but what 1t will
grow under field conditions
1t requires only about half as much
grain to produce 100 pounds of gain
on calves as on two year olds.
A few poor cows may do little per.
manent harm to the dairy herd, but a
poor sire will do untold damage.
The best dairyman is the one who is
clean because by nature he cannot be
otherwise and not because he is afraid
of the law.
