 Due to SensatiOnalism
 Would I mind giving you a few thoughts on the suppression of lawless- ness in this city and county? No, I will say at the start that while there are far too many homicdes and too little regard for human life, all this hue and cry about general lawlessness springs partly from an insane love for sensationalism and may in the main be imputed to the calain- ity howlers and pessimists. The wise thing to do, in so far as it is needed, is to provide quick and speedy remedies. To play on the harp of our going to ''demni- stion bow vows by sensationalists will not better conditions and still less cure them. What is the use of talking about waiting for more legislation when the next session of the legislature is three years off? What we want Is relief and relief now. We
  their enforcement.
 .'It is we'll known principle of crini- inology that speedy and certain punish ment are the main deterrents to the crim- inal. Criminals have no very great fear for punishment if they know that it Is matter of the dim future. note due in one year does not excite the ordinary mortal, but let it be due tomorrow and worry advises caution and a quick solu- ton.
 Breads Certain Punishment
 What the criminal dreads most of all is certain punishment given at a speedy hearing. Our jail, I am told, Is over crowded with prisoners. This should not be, if public sentiment could be aroused, as it is seemingly being aroused at this time, to a strict enforcement of the laws. This requires work by the Judges; cease less and relentless work during court hours. I do not refer to any one of the judges and have no criticism to make of any one of them, but do say that the best energies of all the judges should be put forth to keep crime down. If judge
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-12

finishes his docket during the day or tlle beginning of the week and has nothing further to do, he should call for the docket of his associate.
 "If a case of serious import be not ready for trial, it should not be contln- ued, thereby enabling the criminal de- fendant by fair means or foul to get rld of the states witnesses as is frequently the case now, so I am told. The case should be set forward for week or
 month as the necessities require, and With
 notice to all concerned that at the next
 sitting it will take priority over other cases.
 .I believe 1t is impossible for the two judges of the criminal court to keep up
 with their dockets even with arduous
 work. Then what is the remedy? The
 law provides that one of the judges or
 the city court upon proper demand may
 be assigned to the criminal court, ana l think that is what should be done. This
 would constitute a criminal court of three judges One of these should devote hlm- self to the trial of homcides, robbery, burglary and other heinous crimes. He could be helped at times by one of the
 other Judges. In this way the jail would
 be practically cleared either by convic-
 tions or acquittals, and tho lawbreaker
 would come to know and understand that
 the commission of crime means speedy
 and certain punishment. Of course, in
 great county like this crime may be ex- pected But by relentless warfare upon
 it the wave of crime so-called may be greatly diminished.
 Fee System Not to Blame "That is what we have every reason to hope for and every right to demand. Much is said about the iniquitous fee system. have always denounced this system as
 working a hardship upon the helpless and depriyins the families of innocent men | the proceeds of their labor of which our industries stand so much in need. But I had as the fee system may be, it is not the cause of murders, homicides. robbery, burglary and other atrocious crimes. And as far as the city Is concerned, all we'll informed persons know that at
 no stage of a municipal prosecution does the fee system enter except when appeals are taken to the higher courts.
 We are peculiarly situated in this county, in that felons after their release from prisons are dumped upon us. ln- stead of going to work or to their former
 places of residence they ply their trade
 upon us. This should invoke, as indeed it does necessitate, the most unusual skill
 and alertness on the part of officers or
 the law.
 T will add one other thought: l have
 never had much experience either as a
 practitioner or judge in the criminal
 courts. but what have seen In the crim- inal court leads me to believe that the jurors are often controlled to much by sentimentalities. The innocent should never be found guilty, but the guilty should not be allowed to go free from feeling or sympathy or sentimentalities.
 Jurors should be stern and unfiinching in the discharge of their duties.
 "If lawbreakers realize this it will go
 long way to deter them from crime.'

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
KRrr Aaannia tod Prnra

New York, Nov. 6.-Without affect
ing in the slightest the certainty that
Wilson and Marshall have captured
the electoral vote by an overwhelming
majority, a conservative estimate COM
pels the transfer of some states to
the doubtful column. Among these are
Iowa and Minnesota. The ultra con-
servatives included Illinois and Penn
sylvania. At the time Wyoming and
South Dakota had not been placed. In
Illinois the heavy Wilson vote outside
of Cook county reduced Roosevelt's
lead to $4,000.
The estimated total of the electoral
vote is as follows:
Wilson 3S7.
Roosevelt SO.
Taft II.
