NOT GIlILTY

CCOTLAND YARD detectives expose an unusual case Of
- an person being found guilty and sentenced
to pay the penalty for crime committed by another
should interest all who prone to rash
the making OF serious charges against other per-
sons.
The case involved an English woman, Mrs Rose Emma
Goodng She was arrested on the charge OF sending
orminally bcous letters to neghbor The jury found
her guilty She had been prison two months, await
ing trial. the judge let her OF with ten days.
That last December. In March, Mrs Goodins again
was arrested charged with the orense. Again she
was convicted and sent to jail this time for year. the
trial Judge commenting that the previous light sentence
evidently had not been appreciated.
But the lbeous letters kept coming though Mrs Good
ing was in cell Scotland Yard took the trail The in
vestgaon caused the court OF criminal appeal to release
Mrs. Goodng saying:
This is perfectly innocent OF the onenses OF
which she has heen accused"
Yet she had had "a fair trial"
The Gooding case in England and occasional similar
nearer home make you wonder II our system OF
taking evidence in criminal charges fatal flaw. Also
whether many innocents railroaded TO prison.
Justice sometimes makes mistakes To err is human
The brain OF man has not yet developed TO the point
where ii devise mstakeproof system for justice or
anything else. But
Miscarriages Of justice in the minority They are
exceptions. For thing is great improvement
over the Napoleonc criminal code, still in operation in
Quebec by which the accused is assumed guilty until he
proves his innocence.
1t isn't many hundred years since trial conducted
by ordeal The accused supposed TO be guilty unless
he could pick up handful Of red-ho Goals without burn
ing the fingers place Of testimony under oath, he had
TO plunge his into boiling water proof Of his sin
cerity.
Thieves were proclaimed guilty II they choked when
trying swallow dry barley bread and cheese In court
Justice then based wtchoraft superstition.
We have at least developed to the point where trials
are conducted by processes OF reasoning and fact The
emotional appeal in court is slowly dying out though II

There's a long way to go before justice will be In

The worst obstacle to the attainment OF absolute JUS

Summarizing the accomplishments

prior to and under his own admin
istration. President Harding offers
some figures which ought to silence
carping criticism. Stating that ap-
propriations for the current fiscal
year will aggregate about four and
one-quarter billions OF dollars, he
makes a comparison with previous
years as follows:
'sThree-duarters Of a billion less
than the expenditures for the pre-
vious fiscal year.
"a billion and a half less than the
last administration asked Of Con-
gress.
Three billions less than we're ap-
propriated for the second preceding
fiscal year"
This reduction, he points out, has
been made in the face OF a fixed
overhead expense OF one and three
quarters billion dollars year on
world war account bequeathed by
the Wilson administration to this
administration. plus an annual re-
quirement OF a quarter Of a billion
due to earlier wars. Relieved Of this
fixed burden, which can hardly be
attributed to party policies except in

However. there are others who
contend that II, like Waring, Wear

French Guarin or Guerin. II is sug-
ested that Guerin. the French name,
was in turn derived from the Ger
man Warand, meaning protection.
The first Of the name in this coun-
try was Richard Warren, who sailed
from Plymouth - the Mayflower in
1920. He was not Of the Leyden
party, but Joined the little band Of
colonists off the coast Of England.
The fact that he was one OF the few
OF the party designated as Mr." in

ter. Many millions OF people are

The implication is that this depres-
sion is due to a Republican admin
istration. The facts are that it is
due largely to the heritage of debt
and extravaganza left by a Demo-
cratic administration.
Thus Mr.. Harding brings out that
while the Democratic administration
spent $500, 100000 through the
shipping board to provide vessels for
war purposes. only fifty American
soldiers were ever carried to Europe
in a vessel built by the shipping
board. While we spent between five
and six billions of dollars for the
manufacture Of aircraft, artillery
and artillery ammunition. fewer than
200 American-made airplanes or 200
American-made cannon ever went
into action on the lighting front dur
ing the war, and not more than 1 per
cent. OF the ammunition expended
by American artillery was Of Amer
lean manufacture. The Democratic
administration Of the railroads.
'hieny under Mr.. McAddo himself, is
sstimated to have cost the govern
nent more than one and one-quarter

with such figures and such argu-
ments before us both from President
Harding and Mr.. McAdoo, we may
we'll reiterate the heartfelt thanks
OF last November for the election OF

Editorial Opinion
THE CHECK TO
THE BONUS IDEA.

=
THE BONUS IDEA.
From the New York Herald.
To the American young man the
price OF citizenship, the price of the
inestimable boon OF citizenship, is
his obligation TO meet any military
demand upon him that his country
may make.
For such service to his country
citizenship is the reward; not
bonuses.
The New York Herald welcomes
the decision OF the Court OF APP
peais concerning the Soldiers Bonus
act because, in the first place, we
believe the courts Interpretation or
the fundamental law OF New YORK
TO be sound and its stated reasons
unanswerable. The act passed by the
Legislature is unconstitutional in
tho opinion OF the ultimate judicial
authority in this State. For months
this. newspaper has been indicating
the probability OF such a result when
tho state Bonus law should reach
the Court OF Appeal. The decision
preserves a proper and necessary
safeguard in the interest OF all the
neonle OF the Empire state, the
members ~ the American Legion
along with The rest Any other de-
clsion would nullify the Constitu-
tion.
but there Is a broader reason TOT
regarding with satisfaction the
check which the general scheme oil
money distribution among. all eN-
service men has received at Albany
The incident can scarcely fail TO give
nause in other quarters; to Suggest
a second thought concerning the
pernicious idea that cash bonuses
should be the price OF the military
service rendered by American sol
! diers and sailors at the call OF their
country.
The rejection OF the New York
bonus law as invalid because the law
enacts a gift" when gifts OF puolie
money are prohibited by 'he Consti-
tuition should set the advocates and
claimants OF bonuses everywhere
thinking about the morality OF thai
which they advocate and the charac'
ter Of the claims they advance. The
Albany decision serves TO emphasize
the eleemosynsry character OF th'
distribution Of cash on the horizon

Let the level-headed ex-servic
man who in any other relation
would scorn a money gift for dut
done reflect again on the nature o
the transaction proposed in hi
name and in his behalf but in mum
berless instances without his fun un
derstanding and acquiescence.
