CoDDL1NG THE CRIMINAL.

Some figures will illustrate very well
the safeguards which the law throws
around persons accused of crime
writes Charles C. Mott, jr., in the Feb
ruary Atlantic. In the year 1909,
6, 4O1 cases of felony were disposed
of in the county of New York. Let US
see what the chances were that out of
this large number an injustice could
have been done as against a defendant
not as against the state. The grand
jury in that year dismissed 1912 cases,
leaving 5,059, no defendant as yet hav-
ing been wronged. OF these 5,059
cases the district attorney recommend
ed the discharge of defendant, or dis
missal of the indictment, in 92S cases,
leaving Alb cases, and no defendant
wronged as yet. OF these Abb
cases, 4S1 were disposed of in various
ways (sueh as bail forfeitures, dis
charges on writs of habeas corpus,
etc.,) favorable to defendants, leaving
$3.50 cases, and no defendant wronged
g yet Out of these $3.50 cases, ,6O2
defendants pleaded guilty, leaving
1,04S cases, and still no possibility
of injustice to a defendant. In SIS out
of these 1,04S cases, acquittals, either
by direction of the court or by verdict,
resulted, leaving only 463 cases out of
6,4O1. in which any mistake against a
defendant could have been committed.
This residue of 463 cases, winnowed
out of 6,401 cases, was invariably pre-
scented to juries under instructions by
the court that twelve men would have
to be convinced as one man, beyond a
reasonable doubt, of the defendant
guilt before convicting; and in each of
these 463 cases, twelve men were so
convinced, and returned a verdict of
! guilty. The law still further safe
guarded the rights of these defend
ants. While the state was allowed no
/ appeal in any of the 5S5 cases in
which it was unsuccessful. each de-
fendant convicted had an absolute
right of appeal. and 104 appeals were
taken during the year. resulting in
eleven reversals of convictions, and
leaving 452 cases, in the final result
in which there could have been any
chance Of injustice to a defendant. OF
these 452 defendants many received
suspended sentences, and to the re-
mainder an application for executive
clemency, or action in case of injus-
free is ALWAYS omen

THE BATTLE OF JUAREz.

If all wars, or rather battles, are
conducted in the future like the ia
nous Battle of Juarez, which was
fought the other day, the well known
characterization that General Sherman
gave to war win no longer be appli-
cable. Indeed, war will have lost all
its terrors, and there won't be any
need to continue pressing the univer-
sal peace propaganda, except, perhaps
to point out that it is an unnecessary
expense to indulge in battles that are
free from bloodshed, or any other
harmful adjuncts.
For number of days, news had
been coming from the latest scene of
the Mexican revolution that the rebels
had surrounded Juarez, the chief port
of entry to Mexico from the United
States. The town was reported to be
at their mercy. Refugees and non
combatants hocked across the bridge
that led them to United States terri
tory. What the revolutionists were
going to do to Juarez was a-pIenty.
Although it is many hundred miles
from the center of the Mexican gov
eminent, and a really insignificant
part of it, the reports from the revo-
lutionary camp were to the effect that
when Juarez fell, the Diaz government
would be all crushed to earth. and
unlike truth it would not be able to
rise again. But the rebels procrastf-
mated. They evidently thought it would
not be wise to attack Juarez until
everybody, including the handful of
government troops stationed there,
h taken their departure. While they
were making up their minds in the
premises, additional government
troops slipped into the beIeaguered
town. And when the rebels woke up
one morning they found themselves
confronted by a superior force. Dis
erection always being the better part of
valor in the wars that are fought every
day or so in Central and South Amer
lean countries, the rebels withdrew
some twenty-five miles. Then they de-
cided to come back and on Tuesday
was fought the bloodless Battle of
Juarez. The garrison of the town
went out to meet the rebels. AS many
as two hundred shots were exchanged.
Then the garrison made a run back
for the town and the rebels retired in
the other direction. There was not
casualty or a wounded man on either
side. And the rebel general felt so
we'll SdtlSu0Q WIFI the DAY WOTK OIL
himself and men, that he rewarded
himself in the evening by walking to
United States territory for the purpose
of getting square meal. Presuma bly,.
if the general of the federal troops had
come across him during the evening
he would have set up the drinks. For
honors were surely even in the en-
counter, and there was sufficient for
all.
Not the least interesting feature of
the immortal fray was the fact that
several thousand Americans had re-
served seats across the Rio Grande
where they witnessed all the de-
tails of the wonderful fight. 1t is not
known whether either the federal or
| the rebel forces charged the spectators
reasonable admission fees to the
performance. But perhaps they didn't
bother to collect any money from the
spectators, as they had probably ar
ranged for most remunerative com
missions from the moving picture men

There has been sudden increase in
the price oe food in and about Chicago.
Some people, who are inclined to be
reasonable, blame it on the big snow
storm which struck that town the 9TH
er day and delayed traffic so that
trains carrying the usual supply of
foodstuffs could not reach the city. But
it would not be at all surprising to
hear of other people blaming the high
er prices on the tariff law
