PREJupIcEp AND PARTISAN JUDGEMENTS.

The Newberry decision ought not to be dismissed
without calling attention to the lessons the courts
findings have impaired. Among other things it re-
iterates that a trial court may not rule prejudicial
t. the interests to either of the parties to litigation,
nor may bias be shown to thwart tire ends of justice,
without rebuke and reversal by the court Of last re-
sort. The violation of these fundamental safeguards
brings the trial court into disrepute and that simply
means it has forfeited the respect of those who should
support it.
The supreme courts decision is, of course, a re-
lief to Senator Newberry and a cause for gratifiea-
ton among his friends. But these are the least of
the considerations in connection with the reversal of
the case. It is a basic principle of free government
that no man shall be deprived of life, liberty or prop
erty without due process of law. Whenever that fun
damentaI principle is successfully set aside the very
name of justice becomes a by-word. If due process
of law can be set aside because of the prejudices,
personal feelings, the political animosities or any
other Interior influences, then it matters little to the
individual citizen whether he lives under an absolute
despotism in the form Of a monarchy or another oper-
ating in the name of popular government but in ac-
eordance with the methods of Bolshevism.
The people of the United States are interested in
the Newberry case, not because of Newberrys per-
sonality, not because of his partisan affiliations, not
because of his official position, but because as a citi-
zen he was made the object of a special attack by a
dictatorial federal administration which undertook to
control the sovereign citizens of a great state in the
choice Of a man who should represent them in the
highest legislative body in the world. To all appear
anees the lower courts proceedings were in entire hnr-
mony with the policy adopted by the former occu-
pant Of the White House.
Fortunately the American system of Jurisprudence
provides for appeal TO an unprecedented court whcre
in calmness and elaboration the methods pursued by
the trial court can be reviewed in order to determine
whether justice has been done. The decision of the
supreme court declaring the right of a defendant to
a fair trial under due process of law, is a reassur-
ance to the people of the countrysthat constitutional
government still lives and that the people of the
country are still secure in the enjoyment of life, lib
erty and property.
s~titutional amendments giving control over state
primaries is another and very minor question.

THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG.

It seems to be Of but momentary concern to COM
munities that immortality, of a character to shame the
underworld for utter abandon, should break out in the
high schools in all parts of the country. The scan
DIAL holds the attention locally for a brief time, is ex-
plotted in the press and dies out and is forgotten.
The larger communities are not alone in this public
shame. The small cities and towns have shared the
same disgrace.
In very recent, time, Chicago, Kansas City, numer-
Gus cities Of the east, all have been saddened. Then
there was the Denver affair, while at the moment
Green Bay, Wis, is frantic at the disappearance of
six girls from one school, ranging in age from. Is
to is years. Five were finally discovered in Mil
waukee maternity hospitals and the sixth was a sui
eide. Sheridan, in our own state, is moving heaven
and earth to suppress a scandal, vaguely limited at In
its local newspapers, involving high school girls.
The question is: What does it all mean? What
causes all this lapse from the path of rectitude here
tofore trod by our girls? No such situation has evel
before in our history been presented. Always have
our women and girls been morally upright, free from
suspicion and staunch against temptation. They wcr,
not only the guide but the sheet anchor of men il
matters of morals.
Can it be that in their new status of equality un
der the law they have interpreted its meaning liter
ally or have mistaken their new found liberty for Ii
cense. That they must initiate not the highest bu
the lowest standards of men?
II it all passes and We settle back 20 the old dc
hghtful days of happiness which means morality W,
may not be greatly harmed.
But these are not happy times. There is some
thing fine gone out of life and left a great vacancy
