PERJCRY

On the same day that the an- nouncement came that Earl Carroll would be paroled from the Atlanta prison there appeared a news story in the papers quoting the New York district attorney as saying perjury is astoundingly common in the fed eral courts.
 Carroll served his term, or part of it, for perjury, which he intended to be an act to shield friends who attended the widely discussed bath tub party. The fact that perjury is common in the federal courts does not In the least lessen the offense which Carroll committed. of course; but it lends point to the supposi- ton that most offenders are not caught, while Carroll was.
 City Magistrate Corrigan of New York is quoted as saying that per jury is committed in 90 per cent of the criminal cases tried in the New York courts. The apex of this sen tence, not to be overlooked, is that the judge says in "o0 per cent of the cases"
 What regard for law have New Workers if this stricture is true? One might confidently claim. none at all.
 In divorce cases it is said to be the most common of methods to commit perjury in order to gain the end desired. All that d couple does in such a case, lawyers say, is to agree upon q divorce and then trump up q charge earning one. In , New York there is only one alleged offense that gets a divorce; but the charge is often made out Of whole cloth and sworn to with alacrity. Divorce lawyers and their aids are well up in putting over the details, it is claimed.
 The law in New York is supposed q 10 halt divorces. With the aid of | widespread perjury. this is not at taincd. \ similar result has been achieved in England, where parlia- mcnt about year ago forbade newspapers from publishing divorce details in the belief that publicity stimulated knowledge in how 10 get divorced. The immediate result of secrecy has been to induce a record breaking total of divorce cases.
 Negligence and insurance cases in New York also are breeders Of per jury, it is claimed We rather think these are not all.

become a candidate for third term. deem
him unworthy to sit in the lofty seat en-
nobled by the patriotic scruples Of Wash
ington and Jefferson and safeguarded by
a deep-seated popular instinct of self
preservation.
Senator Bruce recalls in his article how
third term aspirants have aspired and
failed. He reviews the case of Roosevelt
and mentioned the third-term ambitions
Of Grant.
The rebuke administered to his (Grant's)
ambitious views by Republican Presi-
Dental convention convincinely showed
that the third term tradition was still as
firmly set as ever in its socket Of prece-
dent and usage" the article says.
Not all law is founded upon written
constitution and statutes. Much of 1t re-
sides in custom. usage and tradition. and
no law. as a rule. is more highly entitled
to respect than the latter, because it is
upheld, not by legal sanctions but by
popular convictions and feelings strong
enough to stand Of their own vieor with
out the aid Of such sanctions.
Such tradition is not only the third
term tradition. which does not violate any
express words Of the Federal Constitution
but the party tradition also. which. in the
very teeth Of the provisions of the Fed
ersl Constitution relating to the Electoral
College. dominates candidates for the
Presidency entirely through the agency Of
party conventions
