SNEENEY'S NAME
STAYS ON LIST
ManSlaughter Not a Crime
Under Jersey Law Court
Says
APPELLANTS
ARE COMMENDED

Judge Herbert l.. Rice in Superior
Court today dismisses the appeal Of
the Republicans in the case of Hugh
Sweeney, in the Third district Of the
First ward Judge Rice said that the
appeal was filed with the belief that
Sweeney had been convicted Of felony.
When Sweeney appeared in court
last week he admitted having served
a sentence I'm New Jersey years ago
for a murder which he had not COM
mitted
In passing on she appeal today
Judge Rice said:
Sweeney told a story in court the
character of which we are familiar
With. A man usually claims he is
innocent and condemns another man
with having committed the crime.
Perhaps It would have been better
had Mr.. Sweeney remained silent now,
when he kept still for a great number
OF years. Il is not commendable on
the part of Mr.. Sweeney to do so,
when the man so accused, could not
refute the charge. Il is one Of the
average cases we hear in General SEES
sions Court OF during election ap-
peals.
mir. smith and Mr.. Brown were
doing public duty and the prosecut-
ing attorney or man also who, In an
honest effort to prevent a name re-
naming on the registration book
after they believed an improper reg
istration had been made, also is doing
a public duty in opposing such ac-
ton. Neither Mr.. Smith nor Mr..
Brown should be criticised or con-
demned for signing the appeals in
this case.
No partisan spirit has been shown
here on the surface, and none could
be found underneath so far as the
court could see;
attorney General Westcott of New
Jersey has written a letter and / am
going to accept it. He says the crime
for which Sweeney was convicted
was not a felony in that state. 1t
will be admitted that the section of
the constitution applies to the State
where the crime was committed and
therefore the appeal is. dismissed"

1t is indeed a question of debate
whether the abstinence from alcohol
and tobacco now enforced in many

WARS CONVERSATIONS:

Detroit Free Press Despite all it's
horrors and terrors, there are CON-
%pensatiOns even in war. They are
what distinguish it from hell, which
has none.
In time Of real, heart-breaking war,
the portion of the human race involv-
ed gets to a rock bottom basis and
lives among the fundamental reali-
ties. Glass distinctions built up by
great labor are brushed aside as mat
tiers of no moment unless they can
be made u%tilitarian. Men and women
mostly count for what they are. The
gegaws and prett y accomplishments
Of society are quoted at a very low
figure in the market of public opin-
ion. They become recognized as ex-
c%rescences of life.
A remOrseless separation of the
sheep from the goats is almost sure
to occur. War brings Judgment. It
Is a great revealer of values. It. holds
up the foundations to the general
gaze and teaches men and women
facts about their own natures of
which they have never dreamed. Some
people find out that they can do an
astonishingly large number of things
which had aforetime seemed impossi-
BILE; that they can endure with pa
thence privations which they would
have considered overwhelming, il
viewed in prospect. Others are
shocked to discover how much of the
good 'front.' they have carefully con.
structed is sham and pretense. ]
War divides those with courage and
fortitude from the blusterers. Drift
ers on the tide of life 60 down and
are submerged. Humanity Is tried by
fire and a great deal of the dr0ss is
eliminated.
War divides those with courage and
People learn to thing less about their
rights and privileges and more about
their duties. They trouble less about
their neighbors' morals and sins and
more about their own.
War Is an enemy to finespun dis
tinctiols, but 1t does get life down
to brass tacks.
