Justice Not So Blind After All

The defense of in a justices court in this city, Monday charged with assault with deadly weapon to-wit: Shooting at a neighbor with re- vover was the most impregnable that could have been imagined He had not, he swore, fired the shot, the shot with blank cartridge and therefore, not deadly; it probably fired by other person. The circumstance that chamber of his revolver found to be empty met by the alibi of a badger at which he had fired shot over in Gila Pinal county The defense could have been made little stronger only by the intro- duction in court of the badger which had been missed, thus definitely accounting for the ridge But that, not deemed necessary since there nothing against this irrefragibe proof innocence except the testimony of women who swore they the defendant discharge the revolver, and the statements of the police as to the circumstances in which they the defendant into custody.
 There also, believe some seriously "con- flicting' testimony whether the defendant was clad in nighte pajamas or trousers as he alleged at the time of his apprehension The doubt to this vital point in the episode properly resolved in favor of the defendant. Our courts cannot be careful of the preservation of the rights of those charged with offenses against the law. hasty conclusion by the court in this that the defend ant was garbed in nghtgown as alleged by the prosecuting witnesses and the police observed by the multitude who him brought the police station might have done him irreparable injury The defendant. the police and the multitude might have been honest victims of ocular deception The defendant ought to know whether he had pants or a night gown
 Monday was pretty day in court as it everywhere else in this latitude making it all the more difficult to weigh all this evidence and these circumstances properly.

LETTER DISCUSSING LATE CULTIVATION

run on land, to give proper irrigation, varies so greatly with different soils, that it is impossible to make any def mite rule; however, on soils that take water evenly and freely, water should be allowed to run through the field as quickly as possible, allowing from one half to an hour to the row. On fields that take water very slowly, it will be necessary to run the water on the land from two to four hours. On very spotted fields and where the grade is very excessive, the operator will have to make deviations from these poli- cies. in order to give the plants the right quantity of water to produce their maximum crop.
 After an irrigation, the water should be drained off the lower side of the field and not allowed to stand in large pools. None of the soils in this valley are perfectly uniform. During the latter part of the season, most land will contain spots, varying in extent where the plants need water before the general irrigation is necessary. By putting a ridge across a field or by turning in a small head of water be- tween rows, the spots may be irrigated without wetting the rest of the field
 
 your attention, it is very easy matter to turn out a small stream of water into each row. allowing same to run through the dry spot, and then shut off the water. If, however, a spot of considerable extent appears in the middle of field. you may find it con- venient to run the water between say two rows until the dry spot is reached and then spread same over the dry spot. This, of course, entails extra expense in irrigating, but the uni formity and increased yield thereby obtained will more than balance the additional cost. I have seen fields where this practice has increased the average yield approximately one third of bale per acre. as compared with similar soils in the field not handled in this manner

recently in the courts:

recently in the courts:
 1. In Queensborough county, Brook
 lyn, N. Y, several months previous
 similar instance happened, the judge
 asking the lad as to his choice of
 being imprisoned or enlisting in the
 naval service. The navy recruiting
 officer at that place got hold of the
 article. forwarded it to the navy de-
 partment and they ordered a complete
 investigation through the United
 States district attorney. The result
 was that a federal law was passed at
 that place prohibiting such culpable
 acts in the future
 The other case happened in Vallejo,
 California, under similar circum-
 stances, the clients lawyer asking the
 judge for permission to have the lad
 enlisted in the naval service rather
 than take the consequences of his
 wrongdoing. The lawyer no sooner got
 the words out of his mouth than his honor jumped out of his chair and se-
 verely reprimanded him, also warning him that by uttering another word in that direction he would fine him for contempt of court and bar him from the practice of law in that county. The lawyer asked for an explanation of this action and this was the judges reply:
 T have two sons and a nephew in the naval service. I have visited them frequently at the training station and aboard ship. I know the class of men and boys in the service. I have studied them and learned them. 1 have made it practice and an indirect duty as part of my life and l know and am positive (this with emphasis) that the navy will not and does not want any man that has committed a crime of any kind felonious or other wise" Why should they? It would only impair their efficiency.
 It is certainly with regret that I am forced to write this, but it seems as if it is not only necessary but compulsory that I do so, that people-mothers and fathers of sons in Phoenix and else where who have enlisted in the naval servce-will understand how we were Wronged. 1 am,

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
No Criminals in the Navy

To The Republican:
 It is indeed with regret and grave concern that the navy recruiting of flcer noted an article published in The Republican on July IS. 1917 in refer ence to Hayes Calvin Rex charged with forgery. as to his choice of being sentenced to a term of imprisonment or enlisting in the navy.
 The naval service does not tolerate men who are convicted of crimes, but on the other hand they accept and have in the naval service some of the brightest and some of the most intsl- igent young men n the country.
 Will the gentleman who furnished the data for the above mentioned article present himself at the navy recruiting station or any other navy recruiting station in the United States and see how many out of the approx imately 40 men that were enlisted during my time and see for himself whether or not it has been the prac- tice to enlist such men as were his in- tentions of enlisting?
 There was an old adage in the naval service to the effect that we have ''iron men and wooden ships" and nowadays people say that it is vice versa. but if you will follow the advice of man with nearly nine years of experience . and service would say that it is now in the mod ern navy question of "the survival of the fittest" and all men in the service are governed by this motto as to pro- motions, etc.
 As an example and proof of the fore going one only has to visit training station or a modern Warship to change his thoughts as to the morality and cleanliness of the modern sailor. A man with bad habits, viz: petty thievery. disobedience, etc., is immedi- ately discharged from the service, so one can see for himself that if the bad are picked out it is presumably sensi- ble to come to the conclusion that only the good are left
 I will cite two cases that occurred
