A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

An alleged newspaper in San Antonio
is clamoring for Business Administra-
ton" at the city hall. This is the same
outfit that couple of years ago was
vociferously urging the election of O. B.
Black and his satellites for business
administration"
The only avowed candidate for the
office of mayor of San Antonio is John
w. Tobin. The ticket on which he pro-
poses to go before the people of this
city is composed of business men. 1t
contains the names of the only two city
commissioners who have stood staunchly
opposed to the era of waste, extrava-
gance and msmanagement by Black
and his crowd which brought the city
to the verge OF bankruptcy and left its
departments too short of funds to func-
ton properly. The other men on the
Tobin ticket are businessmen.
Neither the Black newspaper nor any
body else can induce any business man
of any ability or experience to run for
mayor or any other office. The rc",.'1
is plain. Any ticket gotten tip b.,
gang or any OF those associated Y 4 it
or identified even most remotely with
the men who put Black across, must
Immediately assume the mantle OF the
present administration. The record OF
failure piled up by "Us Black Boys"
will be the platform upon which any
outfit that opposes the Tobin ticket will
have to stand, no matter how much it
may disavow Black and his admins
tration.
The reason is self evident. The peo-
pie of San Antonio understand that il
Tobin goes in, the Black crowd and
their entire mess goes out. They under
stand also that any ticket opposed to
Tobin must seek its chief support from
the Black contingent and in doing so,
will be compelled to mortgage its politi-
cal future to the same influences that
sent the Black administration into the
ditch and all but wrecked the city.
The alleged newspaper does not want
a business administration. If it did, it
would be squarely behind the men who
have stood out for two years for busi-
ness administration What it wants is
somebody at the city hall who will be
amerable to its dictation. 1t knows that
the Black crowd is doomed.

PIRATES
verSation

1t is not matter OF great public con-
Germ, but it is a deeply interesting ques-
ton whether the commanders OF the
various boats that compose the rum
fleet" which is every now and then re-
ported to be lying somewhere off the
coast of New Jersey, have not the right
to call upon the government of the
United States for protection against the
pirate" that are reported as having
attacked them from time to time This
may seem queer statement, but the
commanders of the rum-laden boats
would seem to have that right under
international law or even under the laws
which have been passed by the United
States against pirates.
In the first place, the vessels that are
lying off shore are legally there. They
are breaking no law and have. strictly
speaking, no intention of breaking the
law. They are there for the purpose
OF selling liquor on the high seas as they
have every right to do. What is done
with the liquor after it leaves their
possession is no concern of theirs al
though it cannot be denied that they are
fully aware that it is intended for sale
in the United States, against the laws
OF the United States. For all that, how
ever, inasmuch as they are breaking no

Watching the Parade
By John Pilgrim.

| The finest argument -ga:nst wab
ble-mindedness L ever heard was stat.
ed by Secretary of State Hughes the
other day. You know what wabble.
mindedness is. 1t is the faculty that
is more or less inherent in all of us
to take SOME other fellows advice
about an affair that is strictly our
own.
Il found this in letter written by
President Lincoln to Carl Schurz."
said he.
I've forgotten the wording of the
letter. But Schurz had written TO
Mr.. Lincoln. giving his opinion that
Lincoln was conducting the war al
together wrong and that defeat was
certain to be his portion. In effect,
Mr.. Lincoln said--and the letter is
worth looki-g up and pinning on the
wail-that if he were to take Schurz's
opinion rather than his own il must
follow that he must take some other
fellows opinion in preference to
Schurz's.
There are certainly others who
think you are making as great a fail
ure of your JOB as you think / am
making of mine.' he wrote. 1t must
be understood this quotation is not
verbatim. Hence the logical outcome
was that he would have noboGy's opin-
ion at all in the end--not even his
own-f0r every man must have a
critic who believes him to be wrong.
Mr.. Hughes did not read this letter
for its bearing on any affair of the
moment, but in support of his stated
belief that. being sure one is right,
the one sensible thing for any one to
do was to go straight ahead. He found
critics stimulating, he said-'fructi-
tying is the word he used. Not in
the way they think they are. but be-
cause they are great stimulus to de-
termination"
For all that. when I undertook to
buy me light overcoat for spring
wear, having precisely the coat i de-
sired in mind. permitted the clerk to
talk me into purchasing sort of pea
green thing that might look we'll in
mirror but occasion ribald mirth
among my friends when l take it on
the street. Yet-having accepted the
clerks opinion as my opinion-I can
do no less than to wear il. Mean

GUILTY" OR MOT GUILTY"

In the recent trial OF DOOtlegger Al
Cleveland, Ohio, there were some most
remarkable court chiefly
on the part of the presiding Judge He
denounced the prisoner savagely but he
seems to have overdone the matter to
such degree that there is small posi-
bility that the prisoner will be denied a
new trial if he asks for one-as he prob
ably will.
The fact that it was bootlegger who
was on trial has nothing whatever to do
with the incidents OF the trial. It is the
somewhat extraordinary behavior of the
judge that renders the occasion worthy of
comment.
When the prisoner was arraigned for
sentence the judge said:
Il knew YOU were guilty when you
were afraid to take the witness stand in
your own defense to refute the charges
against you"
There is no law that says that any
accused person is bound to take the
stand in trial in which he is a prin-
oipal and no Juror has the most remote
right to form an opinion prejudicial to
the prisoner because he did not take the
stand. For that matter, no Judge has
the right to PREJUDICE the case in such
a manner. 1t is not so many years ago
that prisoners were forbidden to take
the stand at ALL it being the opinion that
their peril would induce them to give
false testimony. Ii was the theory OF
the law that the position in which the
prisoner stood toward the law would
make his evidence worthless.
The judge further had many savage
things to say about the attorneys for
this PAL ticular prisoner because they had
come into court and allowed their client
to plead not guilty when according to the
Judge they knew that he was guilty.
Here again it would seem that the
learned judge had over
stepped the bounds OF proper judicial
procedure.
The plea OF guilty in the majority of |
cases is made as matter of form and |
S entirely outside OF what the attorney
knows or may think OF his clients guilt |
Or innocence. The prisoner is certainly |
entitled TO his right of trial and he would |
De FORGETTING that right, guaranteed to
him under the constitution, if he entered !
l plea OF guiltyBesides, plea OF guilty
n the eyes OF the law means a convic-
ion of guilt after proper legal process.
The prisoner is certainly entitled to his
presumption of innocence and he has
perfect legal right to avail himself of all
he advantage that the presumption gives
lin. The legal theory regarding the
word guilty is equivalent to guilty
IS indicted" which is very different
hing
d A bootlegger is certainly as much en-
titled to the advantage afforded him by
plea of mot guilty as has murderer
md a plea OF guilty to murder is not
permitted in n1any-if any courts
An attorney who accepts a charge
rom client is bound to do the best he
an for that client and the attorney who
would permit his client to throw all his
,hances away by entering a plea of
guilty would not be much OF g LAWYER.
AS for that Cleveland Judge he used

'ersation.

law themselves, they are entitled
to protection against the pirates, who
are attacking them.
The laws covering piracy have been
for the most part vague and indefinite
The first definition of piracy was given
by Blackstone, who defined it to be
committing those acts of robbery and
depreciation upon the high seas which
would amount to felony upon the land
If committed there" 1t is the general
understanding that in order to answer
the description OF pirates, the offenders
must be in command of vessel which
they have taken by force from the law
tul owners, must have scuttled or plum
dered such vessel or must have been
cruising on the sea as robbers. The
vessels which have been attacking the
rum fleet certainly come within the scope
OF the last definition There is no pos
sible doubt that they have been cruising
the seas as robbers.
For the reason that piracy, when COM
mitted on the high and open seas, is not
done within the legal jurisdiction OF any
country. the act of piracy in the inter
national sense, has by statute been placed
within the jurisdiction of the ordinary
laws OF Great Britain and America and
by any other country that
cares to indulge i'll the sport of chasing
pirates. .-+
The American Congress has passed |
various acts defining piracy and among
these definitions arc: robbery committed |
in any vessel on the high seas; murder
Or robbery committed upon the high
seas or in any river, harbor. basin or bav
that is outside the jurisdiction of any
particular state.
1t is to be assumed that the rum on
he rum fleet is the property of the
owners of the vessels that are CARRYING
t. These vessels are violating no law
md vet they have been repeatedly at
acked by other vessels with the object
If robbing them Of their cargo. These
attacks undoubtedly constitute piracy
m the part OF the persons responsible
or, or making the attacks on the rum
leet
While the law says that pirates may
e punished by any power that is will /,
1g to undertake the trouble of going
tier them, there is nothing in the law /
hat says any nation shall be obliged !
0 run down and capture the pirates.
he law is vague on that point and it U
1ould therefore seem nobody is under +
ny compulsion to go to the aid of the n
eSsels of the rum fleet.
There is small probability that either h
treat Britain or the United States
