commended that Lorimer be permit
ted to retain his seat. Senator Jones
said:
This argument may have caught
the fancy of those who listened with
out grasping the full significance of
the statements made: but no promo
sition was ever advanced by the wild
ness anarchist more subversive of
the principles of human justice. or
human rights and good government
than the principal suggestion contain
ed in this statement"
ACCORDING TO CoNsCIENCEs,
Senator Jones argued at length
that the constituents of the senators
named would want them to vote on
the Lorimer case according to their
own consciences. He said he did not
believe there could be found within
his state one who is such a reaction
airy as TO approve the rule of Judi
cial conduct practiced by Pontius Pi-
late. If Mr.. Roosevelt made the sus-
gestion seriously, it is shocking. If
he made it ignorantly it Is pltIab1e.
If he made it to secure votes it is
6espicable.
You will note that this is not sug-
gestion that the judges should de-
eide a case according 10 their judg-
ment of the law and the evidence and
then to allow the people to pass upon
it. 1t goes farther than that. 1t
suggests that the people shall make
the decision, that the Judge shall dis
regard the law and the evidence and
try to ascertain what he thinks the
people desire to be done in the case
and then act in accordance with what
he believes is their Judgment. This
proposition is so extreme, so shock
ing, so contrary to all principles of
enlightened Jurisprudence, so antag-
onistic to the basic principles of iu-
dicial action that have been brought
forth in the crucible of time for the
protection of life, liberty and proper
ty that cannot conceive of the state
o. mind or the purpose that prompted
its utterance. l leave his mystery
for the people themselves to solve.
JUDGES INSTRUCT JURIEs.
eff this rule is to be followed then
judges must instruct juries that they
ere not to decide cases upon the law
and the evidence submitted to them
hut they must endeavor to find out
what the public sentiment is with ref
erence to the matter at issue and de-
eide it in accordance with that.
Judges, instead of instructing the
jury as to what the law is, should
try to tell them what the public SEM
timent is
Senator Jones said he wondered a
few weeks ago why it was that at
tCrneys would not allow Colonel
Roosevelt to act as a Juror. He add
ed: 81 understand now"

NEGROES SERVE
10 DAYS; FREED

The 16 negroes arrested in the raid
which followed the shooting OF Rufus
Phoenix, colored, near the Lincoln
club 10 days ago, were brought before
Magistrate c. ]. Smith this morning,
and in view Of the fact that they had
already spent 10 days in durance vile,
each was allowed TO resume his free
dom upon payment Of the costs in the
case. The specific charge against the
double octet was disorderly conduct.
Every negro arrested had been in the
Lincoln club. and from all reports,
there was some crap shooting in pro
gress. Pending the outcome OF the
coroner's inquiry, the negroes were
held under $1,000 bonds. No blame
could be fixed for the murder and so
the negroes were given their liberty.
