dauts in support thereof are in
sufficient to require the change
and reviewing or superior tribu-
nal tind to the contrary, the
question upon which the two
tribunals have differed is of law
and not of fact
1t is evident from the foregoing
that, contrary to popular belief, the
supreme court had not found, as a
matter of fact, that Judge Hillyer was
preiuulced, but that his decision amounts
to merely holding that the allega-
tions of the petition and the affidavits
if taken to be true, are sufficient m
law to require that another Judge be
called for the trial of these cases. In
reaching its decision, however, the su-
preme court had declined to follow
the current of authority in othcr
states, in which it has been repeated V
held that the facts alleged must be
sufficient to show a prejudice against
the defendant on trial and must fur
ther be sufficient to overthrow the
presumption of integrity and impair
tiality on the part of the judge.
In the case under discussion it was
not even alleged that Judge Hilyer
knew or had any opinion concerning
any of the defendants then on trial.
The prejudice sought to be shown was
simply toward the general class or
cause which they represented. So far
from showing facts sufficient to over
throw the presumption of integrity and
impartiality on the part of the Judge,
the petition for q change of judge ex-
pressly states that
''It is not intended by this Pc
tition or the affidavits in support
thereof to challenge the honesty
or intentions of the said Judge"
and the supreme court says:
''1n the case of bar relators ex-
pressly disclaim any intent upon
th.ir part to challenge the honesty
or intentions Of the judge and no
intentional unfairness or wrong
will be imputed to Judge Hillyer."
In other respects also the supreme
court had adopted 4 rule of construe-
tion more liberal to the defendant
than have eAe courts of other states,
declaring its Interpretation Of the
statute in tAs following language:
"No particular faets sfs rseitsd

ing attorney, was employed for the
purpose of procuring affidavits in con
nection with an application for 8
change of Venue. 1t is not alleged tina,
the defendants in those cases were the
same as the defendants now charged
with crime and whose eases are pend
ing in the district court of Huerfan,
county, nor is it alleged that the of
fenses, or alleged offenses, were the
same as those now being prosecuted in
cases pending before Judge Hillyer.
In accordance with the rule in the
Erbaugh case above referred to, no de
nial of these allegations and no coun
ter showing of any character were
permitted to be made in the distric,
court, but Judge Hillyer, upon an ex,
animation of the petition and aft
davits. took the position that the allie
cations were not sufficient, if true, tc
| show the existence of prejudice upon
his part which would disqualify him
from sitting in the cases.
1t should be understood that while
these charges of prejudice have some.
| times been referred to as undisputed
allegations, their truth is in no way
conceded. They are undisputed solely
in the sense that the people are NO,
perm tied to controvert them.
The supreme court in the opinion
just handed down says:
"We have also held in common
with other courts in constructing
similar statutes, that no inquiry
may be had as to the truth of the
facts set forth in the petition AMI
affidavits.'
and quotes at length from the opinion
in Erbaugh VS.. People, portion of
such quotation, in discussing the power
of the trial court, reading As follows:
"While he may pass upon the
question Of law involving the suf-
ficiency of this matter, the ques-
tion of the truth of the allegation
is never tfied.'
And again, in discussing the proper
attitude of the courts upon such appli-
cation, the court says:
They can only apply the law
and test thereby the suRicieney
Of the facts alleged. The finding
in such natter is finding Of law

Present System DisquaIifying
hDdge on Word Of Convict
IS 0reposterous
RECENT CASE IS PROOF

A decision of considerable interest
to the people of this state and which
is calculated to have n farreaching
effect upon tine criminal procedure in
the district courts, was rendered on
he 18th of this month by the supreme
court. The ease was entitled The Peo
pie of the State of Colorado ex rel
John Burke and Charles Haines, Peti
Third Judicial District of the State of
Colorado and Honorable CRANKY Hill
yer, Judge of said Court, Respondents.
In this case an application was made
to the supreme court for writ of pro
hibition restraining Judge Hillyer from
proceeding further in certain criminal
prosecutions against the petitioners,
Burke and Haines. This application is
based upon the fact that in the eases
in question and many others growing
out of the recent coal strike, the de-
PENDANTS had filed in the district court
leging Judge Hillyer was prejudieel
against them and on that account dis
qualified to preside at the trial.
There is a great deal of popular mis-
apprehension as to the issue involved
which makes necessary some discus
sions of the statute and the prior de-
cisions of the supreme court upon this
question. The statute provides that
the Judge shall be deemed incompetent
to try or hear cause when he is in
any wise interested or prejudiced and
provides further that the prejudice of
the Judge must be shown by the affi.
davits ST at least two credible persons
not related to the defendant. The su
preme court of this state has repeated
ly held that by this statute it is To-
quired, not merely that the petition
and affidavits should allege prejudice
of the judge and no more, but that the
facts upon which the charge of prejr-
dice is predicated must be set ont.
In the case of Erbaugh VS.. People,
decided about two years ago, the court
further held that when such facts are
set out they cannot be controvertsd,
but must be assumed to be true and
that the judge against whom the
charge is made had Jurisdiction only 20
determine whether the petition and
affidavits are sufficient, if true, 20
show prejudice on his part.
In the case just decided the peti-
tion contained numerous allegations ir
general terms to the effect that a STRIFE
had been in existence for long time
in this state, in the course of which it
was charged that crimes had been COM
mitted by the striking miners and that
Judge Hillyer had in conversation ex-
pressed himself quite strongly with ref
erence to the strikers; that he had
commended the action of the autheri-
ties in holding certain prisoners "in-
communicate and that he had de-
ponuced some of the strikers rs out
laws.
1t il also alleged that the coal com
panies interested themselves in the
prosecution Of certain Of the striking
nineu employing counsel to appear ~
beAalf Of The people and that spsn one
occasion When four cases were being
pessseatsd against eertaia striking
ni,ess, Jsdes Hillyer, thea q prsetie.

Summer Meeting Here
a Two DAYS. SESSION

Upon the invitation of Editors
Holmes and Dickson, Mayor Thorson
and the Business Men S League the Col
their annual midsummer meeting in
Glenwood Springs.
The meeting viii be held September
II and Is and the scribes of the state
are planning on big time. Alva 4
swain, secretary of the association,
spent last Saturday in Glenwood max
ing arrangements for the big meat
which it is believed will be attended
by the great majority of the editors
and writers of the state and every ef-
fort should be made by our people TO
make this an important event of the
season.
From an advertising and business
standpoint this will be by far the most
important gathering of the season for
GlenwOod. No one class of visitors,
not even the doctors, could be of such
great advantage to US as the editors
will prove to be, providing, of course,
they carry away from Glenwood tho
proper recollections of the place, and
as to this, it is the business of every
citizen to see to it tnat our editorial
keeping with their importance and in
fluence in the state.
No other people are more capabIe
of sizing up place or appreciatinx s.s
beauties or grasping its opportunities
than are the editors of Colorado. They
are the keenest TO scent a wrong and
the first to recognize Il right. They
are boosters and builders in every
sense of the word ard GIerwood should
feel herself highly houored in that the
editors of Colorado have selected this
city as the place for their midsummer
meeting. The Pueblo Chieftain con
