FAITH IN COURTS

The attorneys of the State somewhat dis
turbed over the fact that justice, somewhere and
somehow, seems to have become somewhat err
ratio lady who loses her way frequently.
They begin to fear that the people will lose their
faith in her and her courts
OF course they may be little late in that fear
Faith may have already disappeared.
So they are advising changes in laws and meth
DDS and manners; the introduction of rules and
new technicalities.
If they should ask the first half dozen what
they consider the gravest defect OF system OF JUS
tice they would discover that 1t is the intermnable
delay. especially in criminal cases.
Things are started but nothing much happens
except In the OF minor criminals in some
fragrant and dramatic crime of brutality.
Months ago, example. the Attorney General
Of this State charged that the head Of the Anti
Saloon League had put himself In contempt of the
Supreme Court by criticising its decisions
The charge made that he attempting to
coerce the courts into Illegal way Of thinking be-
cause of their fear of his power at elections.
The charge was made long before the last cleo
ton and since then has been held up in the court
No knows whether the dry leader is in contempt
whether the Attorney General was making a po
litical gesture.
IL may be remembered that two years in
dctments returned against members of the
State highway commission. They charged with
conspiracy to steal Government materials
The fact that they indicted by a grand
jury used excuse for preventing a legis
lative inquiry which might have produced some fact
in the open.
Those cases have never been tried The men in
dcted say they trial And in the meantime
public interest lags and the political manipulaons
board that controls the expenditure of fifteen
million dollars a year continues.
The public If these are guilty, ought to be-
under cloud for this long time.
There other cases--the charges of arson
against the aids of D. C. Stephenson. as examples
Those have been pending for more than two years
If they tried to burn the house of the former DO
litical car of this State convict they should
be with him. II they not guilty they should
not be compelled to carry the burden Of inacton
If there is to be any faith in courts, that old
guarantee of speedy trials should mean something
1t should mean that the public also had a right to
quick determination of any charges against those
society accuses of violating it's laws
Until the lawyers reform themselves and judges
exercise some control over delays. the people may
be excused If they yawn when any one is arrested
on any charge of betrayng the public or Of violating
any important laws
About the only persons who get speedy trials
are those who violate petty laws and are unable to
hire good lawyers.

100000 Dog

A New Bedford man IS asking
81, 900 900 for the loss of a dog.
II took into consideration, he
said In court. that a mans dog
stands by him in prosperity, In
health and in sickness. He will
sleep on the cold ground when the
wintry blasts blow and the snow
drives fiercely. If only he may be
near his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to give
him. He will lick the wound that
comes in an encounter with the
roughness of the world. He guards
the sleep of his pauper master as If
he were a prince.
"A dog would not attempt to do
the many things some lawyers do;
even II he could talk, he would not
stoop to hire others to do his perJur-
ing for him. For these reasons and
for the reason that my four children
still cry for the dog. whose lifeless
body was brought home after the de-
PENDANT had struck him down, did I
come TO the conclusion that the mar.

That is a beautiful sentiment. but

can buy them for in the open mar.

Princeton Triangle Club to Present
'Samarkand' at Murat Friday Night

When the Princeton Triangle Club
presented "Samarkand" at the Trent
Theater, Hugh McNair Kahler, we'll
known author, saw it.
"Samarkand" will be presented at
the Murat on Friday night.
Kahler writes of "Samarkand" as
follows:
A pageant of glowing color against
settings that give it gorgeous frame
and background, a fantasy out of
some Arabian night, interpreted in
terms of light and movement and
given, by Sanford's amazingly op-
posite music, something like fourth
dimension, 'Samarkand" unques-
tionably stands out above all the
past triumphs of DR.. Stuart and the
Triangle Club. Even its first night
performance brought Illusion very
near reality; without sacrifice of
comedy, 1t contrived to attain charm.
Here is something very close to
true comic opera and very far re-
moved from the farce-comedy with
incidental music that commonly
takes that name in vain, "Samark-

OF the theater only to be amused:
