Hamstringing Federal Justice
(Minneanolis .TournaN

That the brand of criminal justice turned
out in the federal courts is superior to that of
most of our state courts, is a matter of com.
mon knowledge. One reason is that in the fed
eral courts, under the common law practice,
the Judge has the right to advise the jury as
ITO the credibility of witnesses and the weight
of testimony. Whereas in most of the states
q judge who commented OH witness or the
testimony would commit reversible error. In
the state courts we have reduced the judges
powers to such an extent that in legal tourna-
ments he is little more than mere referee
with his hands tied.
State legislatures are usually lawyer-don-
mated, at least in legislation affecting court
procedure. And lawyer-legslators have usu-
ally united to prevent most reforms in Grim
nal processes, and especially those seeking to
give the presiding judge in criminal trial
greater latitude in guiding the jury to just
verdict.
Despite the admitted superiority of federal
court practice in this respect, the senate re-
Gently adopted Senator Caraway's bill abridg-
ing the right Of trial judges in federal courts
to direct the trial, and making it reversible
error for the Judge to express his opinion as
to the credibility of witnesses or the weight
Of testimony
The lawyer-senators evidently are now out to
hamstring federal judges, just as state judges
have long been hamstrung. The national crime
commission has laid great stress on the I'M
provemcnt in criminal justice that would fol-
low emancpating the trial Judge from the re-
straints now laid upon him. But this common
sense view is resisted by lawyer-legislators
who are too often more intent on preserving
the present handicaps Of justice than in remov-
ing them. Recently an assembly committee Of
the New York legislature, made up mostly Of
lawyers, rejected Senator Baumes' proposal 10
affirm the judges right to comment
And now the United States senate under
takes to weaken in the federal courts the pro-
cess of criminal law, at time when public
opinion is alive to the necessity of strengthen
ing that process in the state courts. Comment
seems superfluous One can only hope the
house will show the wisdom to reject the Car
away measure.

BANlShlNC NOISES IN THE
EARS

It 10 surprising to see how many
questions come into my office daily
from correspondents asking for an
explanation Of ear moi ,es, and hep.
ing that I can send them inforna-
ton which will bring Atout relief
from this distressing symptom.
Patients suffering from this
trouble have sought in VAN for
help from ear specialists, although
whatever help resolved through
treatments has been. At best only
temporary This is. Of curse, be-
cause the real cause cannot oe re-
moved through any Kind of treat
ment except by changing the habits
Of living which have been respon-
sible for the disorder.
The immediate irritation which,
produces the throbf ing noise is due
to either high blood pressure IT. the
blood vessels Of the inner ear, or
to an accumulation Of catarrhal
mucus around the delicate vibrs-
tory apparatus which is tie instru-
ment for receiving sound waves
from the outside Of the ear.
In every case which has come
under my observation thare has
been no difficulty in bringing about
complete and permanent cure.
This can be effected merely by
dietetic treatment which must be
applied by the patient to himself.
Whether the arrangement is
caused by blood pressure, or by
mucus pressure, the patient actual
" has something which is producing
sound from the inside Of the car
instead Of from the outside. It Is
much the same as /, yon strike your
TELEPHONE bell with hammer in
stead of only being disturbed when
someone wants to talk to vUu on
the phone, and rings you in the
usual way.
If the ringing continues in your
inner ear, Of course you cannot
sleep and will consequently become
very nervous, but it is folly to con-
tinue to allow the "bell" to ring
when you can stop the cause with
ing few days.
In every case a fast from all food
for few days will remove the
trouble temporarily, as the blood
pressure will be reduced If it is too
high, or the catarrh will quickly
diminish if the cause lies in an cx-
cess of mucus around the +-.-- ..nic
bones.
It is doubtless interesting to have
the blood pressure taken before the
fast in order to find whether or not
high blood pressure exists. II the
systlic pressure is not over 40 mil
limeters, you can be sure that the
difficulty is produced from chronic
catarrh. In either case the fasting
and diet treatment will bring about
q rapid change, with quick relief
from the annoying throbbing. A
fruit fast should be continued for
week or ten days. = diet
to be followed after the fasting
must be free from an excess of car
bohvdrates.
II the trouble is purely catarrhal,
all fats and oils must be avoided

Figures just compiled by the League of Ma

total Of 100000 human lives and $780,

These figures are staggering, almost inconl-

simulate them. In all the sad record Of human
ity's mistakes and blunders, there is no item,
that even approaches this in cost.

blindness or mankind's everlasting resiliency,
that the people Of the earth have not arisen as
