JUDICIAL POWERS DECREASED.

Lucilius A. Emery, ex-chief justice
of the Maine supreme court, contri
butes to the Yale Law Journal a
thought provoking article on the ten
dency, observable in enough of our
states to Justify calling it. general, to
change the working of our jury system
by transferring to the jurymen part
of the power intrusted under the Eng
lish common law to the judge. This, in
Justice Emery's opinion, decreases
rather than increases the probability
that, trials will end in Just and correct
decisions.
.Jnfymen, he says-and of course it
| is undeniable-are more likely than are
judges to be influenced by the avowedly
partisan appeals Of counsel, and when
the judge is forbidden by statute, as he
is in several states, to do more than ex-
pound the law applicable in a given
case, the relative skill and eIequence
of the respective counsel on the two
sides are apt to weigh more in its de-
termination than do the intrinsic mer-
its.
In Georgia, a new trial is granted if
1.-THE judge express or even intimates
an opinion as to what has and has not
been proved. The sympathies and pref
Iudices of q community, too, have
greater weight with jurymen than Will

Dutton Too Conservative.

Governor Gates has appointed Wal

H. Pollard of Cavendish. Mr.. Dutton
is n man of high character, integrity
and honest intent, but not specially

sioner. 1t is a position that needs a
rather punacious man who cannot be
coaxed, scared or overawed. He needs
to he a bit of a radical for the reason
he is called to stand between the people
and ultra conservatism. This ultra
conservatism is not in itself dishonest
but inclined to be selfish and unreason-
ably impatient of restraint. We do not
want to do Mr.. Dutton an injustice,
but we fear that his sympathy and I'M
conscious trend are trife in the
wrong direction for the place to which
he has been named. Governor Gates
and every other governor should always
seek to reborn and not dehOrn the pub
