OLD COURT PROCEDURE
SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT FROM
THAT OF THE MODERN DAY.
Elaborate Ceremonial and Dignified
Proceedings Were Frequently Dis
pensed With in the Early Days
Of the Country.

"Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! Know ye
all that the honorable circuit court
of Peoria county now stands convened
pursuant to adjournment"
This is the impressive ceremony
used and the words spoken aloud when
circuit court judges step to the bench.
In federal courts all spectators and at.
taches are required to arise and re-
main standing until the court has been
seated.
In the days of 1918 to 1880 things
were different, as early historical rec
ords show, observes the Peoria Trib-
une. Records of those days show one
incident in which Judge John Rey-
nolds was seated on the circuit bench
in Washington county when the fol-
lowing procedure was followed:
Boys, come in. Our John is going
to hold court" the sheriff said to the
spectators, jurors and attorneys who
had gathered on the grass in the court
house yard.
The courts in those days were held
mostly in log houses or in barrooms
of village taverns fitted up for the pur-
pose, with a temporary bench for the
court and benches and chairs arranged
for the jurors, lawyers ard spectators.
In general, the judges were adverse
to rendering decisions on points of law
and preferred to submit all questions
to the jurors for decision.
Ono instance 10 oifod uhon o+%
requested the court to instruct the ju-
rors on questions of law. The Judge
after rubbing his head and face with
his hands and rejecting few mo-
mehts, said to the lawyers:
"Why, gentlemen, the jury under
stands it; they need no instructions;
no doubt they will do justice in this
case"
The same justice presided in case
of man named Green who was con-
victed of murder. 1t became the un-
pleasant duty of the judge to pass SEN
prisoner before him and said:
"Mr. Green, the jury says you are
guilty of murder and the law says you
are to be hung. want you and all of
your friends down on Indian creek to
know that it is not who condemn you.
It is the jury and the law. Mr.. Green,
what time would you like to be hung?
The law allows you time for prepared
ness"
II am ready at any time, your honor
Those who kill the body have no power
to kill the soul. My preparation is
made and am ready" was the reply
of the prisoner at the bar.
"Mr. Green, it is very serious mat
ter to be hung; it can't happen to a
man but once in his life. You had bet
ter take all the time allowed. l will
give you until this day four weeks
was the sentence of the court.
James Turney, attorney general,
who was prosecuting the case, remind
ed the court that it was the duty of the
judge to warn the prisoner of the con-
sequences he was facing, to reprove
him for his guilt, and to warn him
against the judgment in the world to
come. The court replied:
"Oh, Mr.. Turney, Mr.. Green under
stands the whole matter; he knows he
has got to be hung; you understand
it, don't you, Mr.. Green?"

1t is interesting at this time, when
the whole world is talking about the

goes out to talk about preparedness,
to mention the fact that II of the 26

HOW TO HEAL ITCHING,
BURNING SKIN DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests thi
simple, but reliable and inexpensive
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes and
similar itching, burning skin troubles
At any reliable druggists get a jar
of Resinol Ointment and a cake of
Resinol Soap. These are not at all !ex-
pensive With the Resinol Soap and
warm water bathe the affected parts
thoroughly, until they are free from
crusts and the skin is softened. Dry
very gently, spread on thin layer OF
the Resinol Ointment, and cover with
a light bandage-if necessary to pro-
tect the clothing. This should be
done twice a day. Usually the dis
tressing itching and burning stop with
the first treatment, and the skin soon
becomes clear and healthy again.-Adv

SHOULD LICENSE DRIVERS.

The frequent automobile accidents
which are recorded daily are attract
ing attention and causing the reading
public to wonder how long this con
EDITION will continue There is scarcely
la day that the newspapers do not con.
tain an account of the death or injury
|of one or more persons on account OF
|recklessness in running automobiles.
In almost every case which is ,investi:
gated, it turns out that incompetency
Or negligence is the cause Of the acct.
dent. The questions arises as to what
method can be adopted to- put a stop
to reckless driving and indifference
on the part of those who have the con.
troll of automobiles.
We suggest that there is a way
that conditions could be improved and
that is to absolutely prohibit anyone
from driving car on the public high
ways who has not first received pro-
per training and is licensed by law
to take charge of and drive cars. In
the majority Of accidents which have
occurred, it appears that the inexperi-
enced and incompetent drivers are
responsible for the accidents. Some
of the chauffers in Denison who have
driven cars for two or three years
almost constantly and have travelled
in several states in the Union, have a
record for, safety in handling cars and
have not had a single accident to mar
their record. The reason is that they
never forget the responsibility which
they assume in attempting to handle
car upon the public highway. If this
care could be exercised by everyone
who attempts. to drive car accidents
would be infrequent and the lives of
many people spared. The legislature
should be- called upon to take some
drastic action to insure greater safety
for people who ride in automobiles.

planned it when he took hold of the
matter. The question had been up for
discussion before the members of the
interstate commerce commission as a
board of mediation and the rail-
road and the labor unions had not
made as much progress in the direc-

public desired. The railroads contend.

would not concede but were willing to

Benefit TO IOWA LIVESTOCK

Something has happened during the
past pear that is of vital Importance
to Iowa-though not very many
Iowans realize it.
At the Panama Pacific International
exposition last year, it will be re-
membered that: Iowa won the worlds
grand prizes for draft horses, in each
of the five classes in which Iowa COM
peted.. 1t will also be remembered
that the California authorities became
perturbed and Immediately after these
awards were made succeeded in hav-
ing Iowa cattle prohibited from COM
petition.
There was great disappointment in
Iowa when it was known that her
beef and dairy cattle would not be
judged. and the Iowa commission was
disappointed because a great many
