Justice With leaden Feet
New York Timesl

Mr.. Doheny Is stopping over to
visit ex-Secretary Fall on the latter's
ranch in New Mexico. 1t is explain
ed that the meeting of the two men
Is purely social" But certain legal
features can hardly be excluded from
their conversation. Criminally in
dicted last year, they have not only
got beyond the preliminary ap
proaches to a trial. After a long
delay their counsel argued against
the validity of their indictment, on
the ground that a technical error had
been committed by the prosecution.
After another long delay the Judge
in the District of Columbia held that
the point was well taken and ordered
the indictment quashed. From that
decision an appeal has been taken by
the Government, and it is hoped that
the argument on it can be heard
after three months more of waiting.
| Then there will be another long per-
iod of holding the matter under ad-
viSement by the higher court. Who
can say when the case will finally be
tried on its merits? MessrS. Doheny
and FAN may we'll have INDUCED in
pleasing speculations about the delay
piled upon delay. probably outlasting
Their case is a peculiarly fragrant
example of our slow footed American
| justice. since this is Il Government
prosecution. All the resources of
Federal power have been at the dis
posal of able and energetic counsel
who have been striving to bring to
condign punishment notorious public
offenders. Yet this pursuit of crime
has been blocked at every turn. The
result has been to advertise in the
most conspicuous form possible the
standing reproach to the administra-
ton of justice in the United States.
Lawyers have deplored it. Judges
have lamented it. The press has ex-
posed it. But little or nothing has
| been done to remove it. The facts
are notorious. Effective remedies
have been sought or urged, but have
not been applied.
The scandal of delay, which so
often amounts to a denial of Justice,
has been particularly gross in these
oil prosecutions. A year ago public
sentiment was tremendously aroused
to the need of uncovering and pun
ishing corruption in high office. But
till now the meticulous maze of
American criminal procedure has
been able to tie up everything. 1t is
a spectacle which certainly should be
new spur to bar associations. to
Judges and to law-reformers eyery-
where, leading them to redouble
their efforts to make the processes
of court and the punishment of crime
in this country more swift and GER
tain.

Interesting Weather Reports

Farmers began to piow and the
road crews began to work on the
highways on April TO- which is per-
haps as early as ever known. Hon.
Hollis NJ. Howard, late of the town,
kept a diary of current events, the
weather, etc, beginning in 1855. We
quote two or three entries made in
1862, SO years ago.. quite a contrast
from the present April. April 8. Very
cold for the season. Winfield Sawyer
was along with his cart, peddling.
He went on top Of the drifts,-so
hard Is the crust that one can go
with the heaviest teams anywhere
across the country, paying no atten-
ton to the roads and as for the
fences, the snow is so deep they are
covered. = April IA. Warmer but
still cold for the middle Of April.
l went across the country into Free
dom on business. Had q. fine walk
on the crust. What a wonderful
thing this deep snow and hard crust
Is, one can set about 50 easily. We
may never see like condition again
at this time Of year.
April 15.-Warmer, snow begins
to thaw and settles rapidly. It will
be much better to go by the sun than
by rain. A heavy rain would do
much damage now"
We learn from further reading
that the snow went with the sun and
that people began to work on their
land the last of April.

INCORRECT HISTORY

1t will be a century and half ago,
next Sunday, that General Gage
started something at Lexington.
Mass, which all England couldn't
finish.
During all these years 1t would
seem that we should have got our
history Of that event Strengthened
out. Yet today one reads that
Major Pitcairn in command Of the
500 British ordered the 10 militiamen
drawn up under Captain Parker on
the common to lay down their arms
and as they kept their ranks. a
musketry fire was poured into them,
killing four and wounding nine"
Are we to infer that this Is incor-
rect?
The editor of The Independent re-
marks: THE obvious absurdity of
sixty alarmed farmers engaging
600 regular soldiers in open battle
would in reality have been a gesture
Of criminal folly on the part of the
commander or, as the myth sug-
gests, have been a Spartan sacri-
fee a la Thermopylae." He then
proceeds to tell US that: 1T was
neither one thing nor the other.
The company assembled hurriedly
and on seeing the British forces were
ordered to dispense. The minute

when the British officers ordered
their troops to disarm them. In the
excitement of the ensuing charge,
guns and pistols were discharged

To the initiative Of the minutemen

A ELAGRANT CONDITION OF
THINGS

In another column the Journal re-
prints an able editorial from the New
York Times, Justice with Leaden
Feet" All should read it. 1t holds
up for inspection the astounding in
ability on the part of our machinery
of justice to arrive at a conclusion.
The great government itself with all
resources at command seems to be
powerless' promptly to bring noted
case to trial.
Before we bother our heads about
more laws. either more drastic or
more lenient. we better enforce those
we have; we better provide courts
to do it expeditiously; we better in
sist that they do It expeditiously. On
the plea Of protecting the Innocent
we have permitted intricacy. evasion
and postponement: we have supplied
to the hand of wealth and organized
iniquity innumerable devices for de-
laying justice. Are our jurists in
capable Of planning relief and are
we impotent to put such relief into
effect? Certainly many of existing
conditions cannot command respect
and without respect the machinery
Of justice is about as ineffective as
an unattached windmill.

BOWDOIN COLLEGE

The Ibis, the senior society, held a
meeting Wednesday evening at the
home of Dean Paul Nixon. Pro-
lessor Herbert Bell of the Depart
mept of History gave talk on
Jamaica in which he described the
conditions in that colony during the
old days when trade between
America and the West Indies was at
its highest point. The next meeting
OF the Ibis will be held IN two
weeks when Professor Stanley Chase
of the Department of English will
speak.
The first of the vocational talks
arranged by the Alumni Council
went off very successfully. Mr..
George Craisie '07 of Portland, head
of the New England Teachers
Agency spoke to d group of men
from all four classes on the
opportunities afforded the young
graduate who wishes to take up
teaching. He was asked great many
questions and illustrated his answers
with concrete examples.

For 1876 years our Government has
functioned, Notwithstanding the I'M
certainty whether its Presidnt under
the Constitution had a right to re-
move office holders. Alexander
Hamilton went on record as declar-
ing 1t his opinion that the consent of
the Senate would be as essential in
displacing as in appointing office
holders. But when Congress set out
to decide the question there was a
tie vote settled in the Presidents
favor by the vote OF the vice-Presi-
dent, the presiding officer. And so
matters went along without refer
ence to the Supreme Court for de-
cision until there arose the quarrel
between the legislative and execu-
tive departments in 1S67-9 which re-
suited in the Tenure Of Office Act,
but this was repealed in 1887. So 1t
is easily understandable why Presi-
dent Wilson assumed he had au-
thority to remove Postmaster Myers

which now is before the Court.
