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 miSdemeanors
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 lin
its in order to discourage violations Of
the law.
One feature of New Jersey law that
few, If any, of the other states have,
and which is said to have been a
prime factor in giving the state its ira
ditional reputation for lightninglike
court procedure, is provision that q
jury In a 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.

NEWSPAPERS AND CRIME.

Mayor Hylan OF Greater New York has intro
duced something new into municipal politics and
governmental solemn officials proclamation calling
for a boycott by advertisers upon all newspapers
which are not supporting his candidacy for re-
election.
The ONCE OF mayor OF New York Is perhaps sec

United States and IS small wonder that the cleo

Hylan happens be the protege of Tammany
Hall and his opponents believe that MS vulnerable

crime.
Legislative committees named by his adversaries
have delved into the situation and discovered some
rather startling facts.

the Hylan police commissioner $4,000 in gratitude
for his appointment 10 the position of deputy po
stion which gives power in staid Wall st.

publishers have advertised New York a city where
crooks flourish with impunity and without molesta-

stamped as official document.
Only the captious would suggest that the mayor
has himself justified those he accuses when he ad-
vises a boycott upon them, for under the laws Of

The other million and half is the estimate of

Before you feel too sorry for those who will suf-
