What Brown said

Following is what Senator Brown
said in part on the jury trial
amendment to the enforcement bill:
In the mad fanatical rush. the
Proponents of his measure. while
crying law and order, propose to
destroy all law and order. They
eve go so far as to abolish the
right of trial by jury. II guilty men
go unpublished. 1t is because of fault
in the administration of the law.
The evil lies not N our Jury system,
but in the faulty execution.
THE trial judge has almost alb
so'utc power in the trial of a Ease.
lie may exclude professional jurors.
he can see that good men are not
excused from jury service. he can
pass upon objections for cause.
thus cleansing likes and dislikes. he
can punish for perjury. he can dis
charge the individual juror or the
en':-c panel If he thinks justice VIII
he defeated. and in case convictions
cannot be had where there is guilt,
ne has the right to charge The
to another county. The right of
trial by jury was forced from the
kings of England in the twelfth
century by the people of that coun-
try. 1t was and is the very heart
VI nv ~ Ad ~ o. aahh IL 4 g y .
has been the law that no freeman
should be condemned. but by the
lawful judgment of his peers.
Like the right of suffrage, 1t is
one of the instruments of sovereign
ty of the people. 1t is part of it. 1t
is a school. 1t increases their intel
ligence and educates them. extends
a knowledge of the law among them.
II creates the idea of right. impress
es with the duties of citizenship. and
is essential to both civil and political
liberty. Rulers who have sought to
govern by their individual will have
opposed it and they have sent TO
jail jurors who would not obey their
will.
You may leave the matter to our
judges. l respect them second to
no other but they are human. Under
our system of government the ap-
pointment of judges is very often
by political favor. They have great
power. They may declare laws
which we pass unconstitutional. In
no other country is the power as
great in the judiciary as in ours.
They should not be invested with
the jury power, the sovereignty of
the people.
Remember the struggle of men
to be free in ages past and this
great country of ours that has been
signalized as the home of freedom.
This great exemplar of freedom
must stand. 1t cannot afford to re-
treat. Vote against the abolition of
this priceless heritage, the right of
trial by jury.
