Trials of Bandits and Major
Criminals Rushed on the Day
of Arrest.
IS FOUNDED ON CALvANISM
Wheels Of Court Move Quickly
Famed Not Only for Accuracy and
ReIentiessness, but for Fair
ness and Efficiency.

Trenton, N. ..-Interesting light has
been thrown on the operation and
speed "Of Jersey justice" as "a result
OF recent convictions for murder and
other crimes. While msdemeanors
and felonies have increased in New
Jersey, as elsewhere In the country in
the last year or so, state records show
that there have been few disagree
ments of juries, and prison sentences
have been extended to maximum Inn
its in order to discourage violations, OF
the law.
One feature of New Jersey law that
few, II any, of the other states have.
and which is said to have been a
prime factor insgiving the state its ira
ditional reputation for lghtninglike
court procedure, Is a provision that Il
fury In first degree murder trial may
designate life Imprisonment instead Of
the death penalty for the convicted
person. This has resulted In many
quick convictions for life imprison-
ment where, otherwise. there might
have been jury disagreements.
Quick Bandit Trials.
Cases like that of the Union county
bandits, Charles and John Krebs and
Martin Shannon, who were sentenced
to serve from SO to rs years each, and

fate of seven monitors that the govern
Ment decided to discard % years ago.
Among these monitors were the Cat
skill, Mahopac, Ajax and Caconicus.
In their day they were looked upon
with the same respect as the present
day dreadnaught. They were die back
bone of the American navy.
There came day, however, when
the government found 1t n burden to
keep these ships In active service, so
they were sent up to the James river.
For seven years they lay at anchor
off City Point Then they were sent
further up the James river to a point
about five miles below Richmond.
There they almost rotted to pieces. and
when they began to leak the govern
ment ordered them TO Norfolk to be
thrown on the junk pile.
The newest place for laying up"
idle ships is the York river. This his

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kjlmer's Swamp Root,

Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. II helps the kidneys, liver and blad.
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test Of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and It should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
BE sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, If you wish first to test this

Swift
in New jersey

@ho were tried. convicted and were
beginning to serve their sentences
within 14S hours of their capture, are
occurring daily in New Jersey, the
present so-called "crime wave' appar-
emily furnishing an excellent test for
the efficiency Of its courts.
Jersey Justice" ramed from Maine
to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific, and even overseas, not only be-
cause of its speed, its accuracy and its
relentlessness, but also because Of its
fairness and efficiency, was not estab-
llshed overnight 1t Is scarcely tam
gible thing. 1t may be best described
rs "a state of mind" the people de-
manding that their law officers be eff
cient above everything else. Thus
prosecutors, grand juries. judges, petit
juries and all other branches of the ad-
ministration of justice, which lead the
criminal to prison and the murderer to
the death chair. are just so many
wheels and gears and belts in an al
most perfectly working machine"
whose motive power is the people.
Tradition has had much to do with
making Jersey Justice" Beginning
with the early days of the settlement
Of the state, when many crimes were
punishable by death, the Calvinists
brought into east Jersey distinctive
views of religious and civil matters
which probably were the roots of "Jer-
sey Justice"
New Jersey differs In no great re-
spect from other states as to the gen.
eral legal procedure for the punish
ment of crime. Lynchings and crime
against accused persons, however, are
rare. officers of the law, from the
highest judges down, are well paid, and
every effort Is made to keep politics
out Of the courts. At present there
are more than three-score life pris-
oners In the state prison here and
eight out of every ten convicts are In
for long terms.
Safeguards for innocent.
While Jersey justice" is swift, the
innocent are safeguarded through a
system Of appeals, reprieves and stays,
the latter sometimes operating to save
convicted persons from the death
chair. The case Of Frank p. James
and Raymond w. Schuck, convicted of
killing David s. Paul, Camden bank
messenger. is an illustration. After
their arrest the trials of the murder
ers were expedited and the same day
they were sentenced they were in the
deathhouse here candidates" for the
chair.
In July. 1904, three young negroes,
Aaron Timbers, william Austin and
Jonas Simms. entered the lone Of a
farmer named Blddle, near Burlington.

Within few days all three were cap
tured, tried, convicted and had begun
sentences of 40 years each in state

AbanaonIna Totem Poles.

Alaska Is losing its totem poles.
Because of the gradual decline in OBJ
servance of native customs, totem
poles are no longer erected, and the
elements are wearing down those re-

In the abandoned Indian village of Old

village was deserted several years ago,
after disastrous fire. the natives mov-

Old Kassan's totems are Of many sizes
and descriptions. Some are of Inn

the toad and the eagle represented.
The poles are carved. from base to

ASK APPOINTMENT
 OF COMMISSIONERS

A delegation of citizens of Hardin and California townships appeared be- fore County Judge E. L. Smith to- day and made recommendations for the appointment of commissioners of Road Improvement District No. 5, the Wooster-Greenbrier-Guy road. While not opposed to the construction of the highway eventually, the delegation expressed itself as being in favor of postponing the work for a year or two, and requested the appointment of commissioners who were of the same opinion.
 It transpired that the term of Dr.. 5. F. Canister expired a year ago and in his place the names of L. w.. Acre and A. E. Poole were recom- mended. The terms of Dr. E. T. Will Hams and A. A. Wilson expire on March 31 this year, and the delega- tion recommended that Mr. Wilson be reappointed and that either J. W. Love or T. J. Brannon be appointed in the place of Dr. Williams.
 Judge Smith stated that the ap- pointments would be made with the converting of the April term of county court, on April 1, and that the re- concentrations of the delegation would be followed.
