BY JOHN II. PERRY
Noted Criminal Iawver.

Are we abolisIing trial by
jury?
DO you know that nine out OF
ten of the men and women sent
to jail never seven get to look q
jury i'm the face?
Let me illustrate: In the SUI
perior courts - the so-ealled
courts of rec0rd-a man charged
with crime is always given a jury
trial unless he valves his right to
such trial. But out of every one
hundred men charged with Of
Tense less than ten are tried be-
fore superior courts, and more
than ninety are tried before in
ferior eourts-so-ealledp police and
magistrate courts.
III these courts deal with"
nine out of every ten of the law
offenders their importance
should be sufficient TO have them
conducted in a lawful manner for
the good of the community,
should IL not? Those courts
should be the peoples court, not
one man affairs.
If you have been arrested aud
charged with any ordinary police
court offense how much time do
you think this lone man court
spends on trying you? Consider
ably less than five minutes on an
average in the average American
city before the average police
Judge.
In the city of Seattle, as an
instance, one police Judge In a
single afternoon tried three hun
dred cases. The actual time con-
sumed was five hours. In other
words, one man was being tried
every minute. Think of It'll this

wonderful mere man grinding out
sentences or Judgments upon
which the liberty of the accused
or the welfare perhaps of his
family and the good of society de
pended.
This travesty is due to permit
ting policemen reeklessly to ex-
ercise the right of arrest without
warrant A jury trial then is not
possible, because of the over
production" in arrests.
In an American city of 100000
people. ten thousand folks are an
nuaIly arrested and dragged be-
fore the police courts to be dealt
with according to law" Out OF
the total number arrested only
one In twenty is found guilty!
There's a legal maxim, 1T is
better that nineteen guilty men
escape than that one innocent
man be punished" Your police
court and police officials reverse
your maxim. With them Its
better to punish nineteen innocent
folks by arrest and humiliation
than have one petty offender es-
cape"
Take away from the police the
power of arrest without warrant,
and this crime against the law
will greatly decrease.
Why not make IL a crime pun
ishabIe by Imprisonment for any
policeman to make an unlawful
arrest?

The little boy persisted in talk

and after all the punisnments al

tried in vain, a note was sent to
his father by the long-suffering

Santa Fe, Aug. 27-To dispel the
oft repeated assertion that it is the
Pecos Valley or English speaking
counties that defeat Spanish-Ameri-
can candidates, figures were prepared
today from the official election re-

eral Clancy, who polled the highest
vote at the first state election, was
compared with that of George W. Ar

not in Chavez or Eddy counties or
even in Curry, Quay or Roosevelt
counties that Armijo fell behind Mr..
Clancy, but in Bernalillo and Santa

244 votes behind Clancy, in Santa Fe

A LARGE AUDIENCE IN
SANTA FE

Santa Fe Aug. 27.-The quickest
cure for the crouch is a face mas
sage, declared Dean Frank Carroon
to the summer school today. 1t was
a lecture of inimitable charm that
the speaker gave as he barred the in
nermost workings of the emotions in
man. He differentiated man from
beast by declaring that man looks be-
fore and after, engages in the. psy-
Geological process of introspectlon,
while animals do not. He demonstrate
ed how getting into tight places de-
velops the intelligence, and declared
that the best thing we can wish our
friends is not ease and peace of mind,
but lots of trouble, for it is trouble
that develops the best of character.
He warned against the fatalism of
the east, which if 1t becomes general
in the west will destroy whatever is
good in American civilization,
Dean Carroon's apt quotations from
the great writer's, his calculation of
the canny insight of poets who often
in a few words tell what it takes
scientists centuries to prove, we're es-
pecially full. He insisted that man
is a free agent, that the will is free
and that man, by fixing his attention,
may do what he desires, that he can
say successfully to every temptation,
