the first requirements Of any kind Of
a trial body, whether 1t be court with
out jury, whether it be jury, whether
it be a grand jury, whether it be q
court martial, is that the judges must
be clear from any bias, must not have
formed an opinion Of the guilt Of the
defendants.
"Otherwise it is not trial Other
wise it is merely a farce in which we
60 through the motions Of q trial
without reaching its substance.
Our objection to your body as a
wholo is a twofold one. We hold. IN
the first place, that you were appointed
and selected by our accuser. We hold,
in the second place, that you have pub
licly, solemnly expressed your con-
vction of the guilt of the men who
are before you now. Just on the ques
ton of this guilt you will remember
how this proceeding came about.
Thus the Speaker of the Assembly
appears as the first accuser of these
five men. Mind you, he does not say,
as this statement now read by the
chairman says, 1T is claimed informa-
tion has come to u.s. He makes very
definite, positive statements to the ef-
feet that these men are guilty of the
charges. Thereupon, having made that
concrete and definite statement ipso
facto and not in the shape Of this
posthumous resolution reciting all
these facts, the very same speaker,
having had the question referred to
your committee, the Judiciary Com
mittee, which was not then appointed,
proceeds to the appointment of the
personnel of your committee.
"Thus, in other words, accuser Sc
lects his own judges. Imagine, gentle
men, on analogous case, criminal case,
for instance, in which q prosecuting
attorney would appoint his judge.
~ submit, gentlemen, that all of you
who have voted on this proposition
and have declared solemnly your be-
lief in the guilt of those men and have
not retracted it on voting for con-
sideration, stand here not as Judges,

Case Unparalleled
In History of State

1T is, Mr.. Chairman, an undisputed
fact that practically since New York
became state in the Union it's Con
stitution in spirit to 1921 and in letter.
from 1921 until to-day, nearly CEN

house of the Legislature should be the

fications of its members.
Now, it may be said to the honor
New-York tribune., 1920-01-21

and the lasting credit Of the Empire
State that never until the present time
has either branch Of the Legislature Of
this state been called on to act under
circumstances similar to those that are
presented to-day.
There are precedents for this pro-
ceeding, many of them in the Federal
mittee may understand precisely what

Passing for a moment to the case
now the subject of investigation, the
document which the chairman has read
constitutes, upon its face, an accusa-
tion so plain, so clear, that no one
who understands the Er .i.sh language
can fail to comprehend its important
purpose.
''In q word, the claim is made that
the five men that are now under inves-
tigation here are members of a party
or society whose platform of principles
and whose doctrines as advocated to-
day cali for and demand the complete

rest, to bring into play force and vio-

that the men here mentioned, affiliated
with that party or society, have sub

substitution of minority for majority

Blind Want Opportunity
To Be Self Supporting

Give the blind of Oregon an op-
portunity to be self-supporting," is
the plea of the committee working
in behalf of approval of the legisla-
tive bill to be voted on at the state
election May p, providing for a tax
levy of one sixth Of mill to erect
and equip an industrial employment
institution in the State of Oregon for
the benefit of Oregon's blind.
"A great number of the blind of
Oregon" says Oscar " Horne, sec
retary of the citizens committee,
are now almost wholly dependent
upon charity. With the problem in
creased by the return of soldiers who
have been rendered sightless, the ma
jority Of states have awakened to
the duty of providing some means
whereby the blind can be taught use
ful trades and become self support
ing.
The voters are asked to give but
trifling amount and none should
hesitate in voting favorably on this
bill. Campaign funds are not avail
able and a committee interested in
aiding the blind is seeking coopera-
tion Of all organizations in present
ing the merits of the bill to the pub
ed from all over the state"
d from all over the state"
The bill will be before the voters
at the primary election May 81, hav-
ing been referred to the voters by
the Legislature. 1t provides for one
sixth of a mill for establishing and
equipping the institution and an an
nual levy of one twenty-fifth of
mill for maintenance.
