the japanese empire. Heretofore
Japan has drawn almost entirely on
China and Continental Europe for
its juristic patterns.
The purpose Of the innovation was
explained to be the characterization
Of criminal procedure and the in
crease Of popular confidence in the
courts by opening the way for great
er public participation in criminal
trials.
Scope Limited
The new jury is limited in scope,
and the Inauguration Of the new sys-
TEN followed by a long period o.
study. The jury system law was
passed by the Diet nearly six years
ago and promulgated in April, 1928.
In the intervening period many Jap
anese judges have visited America
and England to witness the use Of
jury trial, sat on the bench with
American and British judges and
studied the methods Of presenting
evidence to juries and judges in
structions to jurors. The principal
criminal courts of the country have
undergone considerable physical re
modelling, to make room for the seat
ing OF Juries and provide dormitories
Tor jurors held from public contact
during a long trial. These accom-
modations embody the latest i'm.
provements and comforts.
Trial by jury will be used only II

you knew it was false. Meanwhile,
you allowed IL to sink into the minds
Of our good peoplt and to Go what
ever harm it could accomplish.
I set out to challenge an untruth
the first uttered publicly in Cam
eron county during this campaign.
Now. that ! have established its
falsity. and incidentally exposed the
attempt to evade the issue while
getting the full benefit Of the false
statement as published. there Is. as
you say. no reason to continue this
correspondence
As part Of the smoke screen you
laid down. C. divert the attention
Of the public or of myself, additional
charges were made as to the ap-
pointment Of negroes to office in
New York City. ETC.. and you want
TO know why / have not deni~d them.
The reason l have not denied them,
apart from their apparent imma-
teriality (for Governor Smith is not
shown to be responsible tor them),
is that ! do not know whether they
are true or not. I may have my
doubts, considering the character Of
the men from whom you get your
information: but in this campaign
we are insisting the absolute truth,
and II would be rs wrong for me
to deny "a statement withou. posi-
tive knowledge OF its falsity. as for
you TO make il without positive
knowledge OF its truth. What I say
Of you and myself applies equally TO
every other person participating in
this campaign.
We cannot reach, deny or dis
prove all the false statements that
will be made. but the democratic
party will certainly do all II can 70
carry out the golden rule Of this
campaign: Make TO false state
ment; repudiate quickly any made
by those under your control: and
deny promptly and vigorously any
made by your adversaries." The re-
publican party has done many hon
orable acts along the same line. "A
long-sufferirg public would be
grateful If that party's example
were followed by those who. in the
picturesque language of Chief Jus
tiee Fly. are trying to scuttle the
democratic party while still loudly
proclaiming their right 10 be con-
sidered members Of the crew.

selves TO that course (call il policy,

sons between you and the Hebrew

Apostles, not TO mention lightly a
Higher Name. border on the BIAS

The closed D makers do not make
friends with the ease that open D
makers debut they are not so often
disappointed in their friends, since
they wait for assurance Of character
before taking anyone into their con-
fidence. The closed D maker is eau
tious in the use Of money and very
accurate; does not like people who
are both generous and improvidert.
and is apt to be scornful Of those
who make money through amuse-
ments and the arts.
The closed d makers are usually
interested in science and business,
and are in fine bankers and invest
mcnt dealers.
Generally speaking. the closed d
maker has a less interesting person

CONTROVERSY

Judge Seabury Writes
Final Letter To
DR.. HaIlam

The Herald has received the fol-
lowing letter from Judge F. W. Sea-
bury, chairman of the democratic
campaign in the twenty-seventh
senatorial district. to DR.. s. X. Hal
Ian, chairman of the ~anti-Smith
campaign, with a request for publ
cation:
in your letter to me published in
The Herald September 30th, you say
that the common tactics of those
defeated in argument are to try to
win by calling their opponents hard
names. That is a true saying. And
as ! have called you none. and you
have said that ] have forgotten the
ethics which -uide gentlemen In de-
bate" you must imagine that you
have been beaten in some argument
or debate between Us.
You must not let that worry you,
Doctor. The plain fact is that there

you were reported in The Herald Of

your opening campaign speech al

York law giving negroes the same
rights as whites in hotels, restau-
rants. publ cconveyanccs. etc. was
put upon the statute books by a
Tammanv-controlled legislature; and
| proved its falsity by showing that
the law in question had been enact.
ed by a republican legislature abou,
the time Governor Smith was born,
and that il was absurd TO charge
IL 70 the democracy. 10 Governor
Smith. or ven to Tammany.
Now. you cannot debate a subject
like that. II is either so. or il is
not so. The New York statutes and
court decisions would settle the
question. They settled it in my ia
vor.
One would have expected that you
would promptly admit the falsity OF
the published statement, and follow
the admission with an explanation
or an apology. Instead Of this. you
wrote me a letter. composed mainly
OF your views on the true and false
issues Of the campaign. with but a
single pertinent paragraph directed

That paragraph was illuminative
IL showed that The Herald reporte,

AFTER the meeting. and that YOU
had given him as part Of your spos.

Of one large subject. which you had
not even mentioned at Harrington
Speakers often give out in advance
q written speech. and later vary II
very greatly in actual delivery. Per-
haps that is legitimate. as you now
argue. But il is certainly not legiti-
mate to state positively, as having
already been said or done. a thing
that you know was not said or done.
And when you do this to a reporter.

Whether or not you merely said

porter that New York had So a
law. and he volunteered the addition
that the law had been enacted By 0

fact remains that you did not correc,
