SUNDAY OCTOBER 27
Set Apart As tuberculosis Day.

Churches and religious So
cieties, to the number of at least
100000, will be urged to give
special attention to the preven-
tion of tuberculosis on Sunday.
October 9th, or on some day
during the week proceeding or
the week following that date.
This season has been set apart
designated as the Third National
tuberculosis Day by the Nation
alIAssocietion for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculos i 5.
tuberculosis Day was originally
set on April 2Sth, but was post
poned because of a conflict with
Conservation Sunday Of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement.
which was held on that date.
The observance of tuberculosis
Day in the fall this year will be
utilized by anti-tuberculosis
workers not only for the general
education of church-goers on
consumption but also for the
purpose Of interesting them in
the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. Every one of the
600 and more anti-tuberculosis
associations allied with the Ma
tional Association, will be urged
to promote tuberculosis Day in
their respective communities.
While last year over $4,000
churches observed this occasion
it is expected this year that this
number will be doubled. Mill
ions of circulars and other forms
of literature will be distributed.
The support of every religious
denomination will be asked for
That tuberculosis is a serious
problem among church congre-
cations is evidenced by statistics

gathered last year, which show
that 10 per cent, of all deaths
among church members are
caused by tuberculosis. Based

KENTUCKY COURT OF APPEALS DIS.
COURAGES crime IN STATE.
Assistant Attorney General Morris Replies to Article
Written By Carl Snyder In Which He Gives Sta
tistics Affecting Action of Highest Tribunal.
Lexington Herald.)

hCpiy lAlS W oi oA SASAS "AASA
by Carl Snyder on the prevalence
of murder and the non-punish-
ment of murderers, Charles Nor
ris, Assistant Attorney General
of Kentucky, has issued a state
ment in which he calls the pub
lies attention to the tendency of
the Kentucky Court of Appeals
to discourage crime in this State.
He says that the attorney or
client who goes TO the highest
court of the State with the notion
that his case will be sent back on
a mere technical error is reckon
ing without his host, and that in
order to get a reversal it must
be meritorious case.
To demonstrate this he takes
the criminal docket of the court
from September, 1911, to June,
1912, which contained Ga felony
cases and shows that they were
disposed of as follows: Murder,
affirmed 10, reversed 2; malicious
shooting, reversed 2; voluntary
manslaughter, affirmed 10, re-
versed 4; confederating to intim-
idate, reversed l; assisting pris-
oner to escape l; obtaining mon
ey by false pretenses, affirmed 2;
reversed 1; breaking and enter
ing railroad depot, reversed L.;
OBTAINING a woman, reversed l.;
grand larceny. affirmed 2; re-
versed 2; appropriating property
in possession of common carrier,
affirmed 3; arson, affirmed l; re-
versed 1; burglary, affirmed 2;
rape, affirmed l; reversed /;
robbery, affirmed 2; false swear
ing reversed |; house-breaking,
affirmed 2; bigamy, affirmed 1;
horse stealing, affirmed l.
Of the GA cases, the death PEN
atty was inflicted in eight, six in
cases of murder and two in cases
of rape. Eight death penalties
were affirmed and two reversed,
one in a murder case and the
other in case of rape. The life
penalty was inflicted in thirteen
cases, all for murder, and in this
class eleven were affirmed and
two reversed. In cases of vol
untary manslaughter, where the
penalty is indeterminate, from
two to twenty-one years, there
were eleven affirmed and three
reversed. In the total GA de-
cided, 71.87 per cent, were
affirmed and Pip reversed.
Mr.. Morris says that the
chances of escape are materially
against the accused when his
case comes to the Court of Ap-
peals, and takes exception to the
remark of Mr.. Snyder that if
you commit murder, it is a bet
Ter than three to one shot that
YOU will never be sentenced to
the Denitentiary, and better than
eighty to one shot that you will
never be hanged or electrocuted.
In Kentucky, he says, the re-
verse is true, and that it is about
eighty to one that he will go 10

tiary if he commits murder or
other felony, is convicted and

DIsCoURAGEMENT TO CRIMINALS.

tics, the story presented a lam
entable state of affairs. So
black did the picture look to the
artist who drew it, that he was
forced to make the broad state
ment that he, for one. was not
proud of the fact that he was an
American.
'The magazine in which the
article appeared enjoys an ex-
tensive circulation and is widely
read. and naturally fell into the
hands Of many readers in all
walks of life. The article itself,
as much as the argument pre-
sented, is an encouragement to
kill.
THE writer, adopting the par
lance of the race course, sums up
the final betting as follows: If
you commit murder, it is a better
than three to one shot that you
will never be brought to trial.
1t is a better than ten to one
shot that you will never be
be sentencrd to the penitentiary.
1t is better than eighty to one
shot that you will never be
hanged or electrocuted.'
'Of course the reasoning by
which the writer's conclusions
are reached is based on cases oc-
curing in the United States dur
ing the past few years, and upon
what is chosen to be called mis-
carriages of justice. Our pur-
pose in writing this article is to
show that the day is dawning in
Kentucky when criminals, by
observing the past, can not say,
We are encouraged to commit
crime, but must face the fact
that punishment of the guilty is
sure and certain. The fling
taken at the courts generally is
sufficient excuse to call the pub
lies attention to the tendency of
the Kentucky Court of Appeals
to discourage crime in our State.
"Mr. Snyder's idea of punish
ment for criminals is that they
should be quietly chloroformed
and put out of the road. But
to do this says he, it seems
grotesque that we should need
the huge, clumsy, bungling and
frightfully expensive machinery
of grand juries, judges, pros.
ecuting attorneys, defending at
torneys, petit juries, courts of
Appeal, courts of re-appeal, su-
preme court, and courts still
more supreme, which serially
take a childish delight in revers-
ing the decisions of the lower
courts and exposing the most
triiing and inane irregularities
of judicial authority. 1t is no
longer grotesque; it has grown
to frightful perversion of au-
thority when this same idiolic
machinery of the law is put to
the protection of cold blooded as
sassination.
( Probably when the above was
written the author did not have
in mind the Kentucky Court of
Appeals. This court in Ken
lucky is the court of last resort;
there is no re-appeal, nor is there
a still more supreme court, and
the attorney or client who goes
to that court says so, and has by
its decisions demonstrated in

be remembered that the chnaces

rage if you have not a meritor-
ious case. Flimsy technicalities
are things of the past. Your

dictment. The objection that
the crime is not charged in apt
and artistic words and phrases
carries little weight. Likewise,
the Instructions need not be such
as would stand the critical test
of the flaw picking rhetorician
or the fine reasoning logician. If
they are in such shape as the
ordinary mind may gasp their
meaning, it is sufficient. The
point we are trying to impress is,
that accused need not appeal to
the highest court in this State
with the expectation of reversing
his case on technical points.
AT a recent session of a State
Bar Association, an eminent law
yer read an elaborate paper be
fore that dody, in which he
severely criticised the technical
rulings of the higher courts.
Shortly afterwards he was argu-
ing before the court a very
technical point raised by the at
torney on the other side. Pre-
ceed with the rest of the argu-
ment, said the Chief Justice.
That is a mere technical point.
This is an age of reform. There
is a growing prejudice against
technicalities.

associates on the bench. since the

were set up as grounds for new

this case, used the following
rather impressive language:

no longer tolerate the rigid
technicalities once enforced in
the defendants favor in criminal
prosecutions. This court has in
