Craven Images on the Bench
Too Many of Them

New York lawyer says he will appeal to the
Supreme the ground that the trial judge rred in
smiling and frownng and ndulgng in other facial
ens which would lead the jury to believe that he had
opinion the facts"
Also that "the courts remarks the jury were of
highly nflammatory nature and revealed obvious belief
that the defendant had testified untruhfuy and falsely"
The trial Judge happened to be Joseph Corrgan whose
"poker face is proverbial the New York bench But
whether the attorney had for his claim not the
average American will be inclined to give three cheers for
any Judge who takes hand in trial instead of sitting
like craven image through the inerminable delays and

COddling Criminals
A Tendency That Must Be Curbed

In the name of reform group of earnest citizens have
pushed through the Senate bill which would virtually strip
the courts of the District the power to fix the sentences
Of convicted criminals.
Fortunately the bill has been halted in the House is
TO be hoped that that body realizing the dangers of the
measure, will kill it.
This BILL "to establish board of indeterminate sentence
and parole" would make impossible for the Judge who
has tried the to impose the sentence
That important function would be transferred to the
newly created board of ndeterminate sentence
The three citizens comprising this board would be unfamiliar
with the case except through perusal of the records
They would be distinct disadvantage in endeavorng
to mete out proper sentence.
The proponents of the scheme do not think that the i'm
portant duties which would be imposed upon this board would
be sufficient to warrant their being paid any compensation
No doubt minded and public spirited citizens could be
induced to serve upon the board Nevertheless here is
matter which is of trancendent Importance from the stand
point Of protecting the public.
proponents show the weakness Of their when they
are too tmd to ask for reasonable appropriation for the
men who would replace the judges.
The measure pending only faulty in principle is
faulty in detail.
There is growing tendency coddle the criminal Every
thing is done for his comfort and convenience.
The American people beginning to see that too great
law
It call halt in the progress Of this criminal abet
ting tendency.
Crime growing disgraceuly. Stern must be
taken to meet this growth.
We will not halt crime by making the life Of the criminal
bed of roses.
We will not put the fear of the law the criminal
minded by stripping courts of power.
Let rely upon Judges administer justice and not
leave this to board which will look the record
months years after the trial.

A Numerous and
Brave Array.

But notwithstanding this
fact, the convention still
would have refused to bow
to his dictation but for the
strength he had in the army
of Federal office holders
among the delegates. These
made a numerous and brave
array. An astonishing num-
Der went from New York
and two of these were men,
bers of the Cabinet. And
one of these members Of the
Cabinet was in active, open
charge of the fight to force
the dictation of the Presi-
dent upon the convention.
Regardless of their indl-
vidual views, these retalners
of the President were forced
to bend their backs to the
lash of the Administration.
1t was literally applied.
There was no little bulldoz-
ing. The delegation rom
Louisiana knows all about it.
An Assistant Secretary laid
down the law to them. And
so it ran through all the dele
cations.
These men were not free
agents. They moved under
the rod of intimidation. To
deny the intimidation is an
absurdity in view of the
amazing action of the First
Assistant Postmaster General
in openly threatening post
masters with the invitation
to send in their designations
if they were not inclined to
dedicate themselves to Mr..
Hoover political interest.
The Washington times., 1932-06-24
Mr.. Hoover
Is Different

Twenty-eight years ago,
when Roosevelt was Presi-
dent and seeking renomina-
ton in the convention of
1904, he set himself four
square against Federal office
holders going as delegates to
the party pow-wOw. 1t was
a fine gesture, a sincere one,
and there was justice in it.
Many years later Calv n
Coolidge expressed his dis
approval of dominating con-
ventions through men w h o
are dependents of the Presi-
dent.
But Mr.. Hoover is differ
ent. He thinks in terms of
imperialism and autocracy.
He wanted as many retainers
in the convention as could
possibly be packed in. He
got them in. And they were
the determining factor in the
framing of the platform and
in the denomination of Mr..
Curtis for second place on
the ticket.
This has come to be a
menace and something Of a
scandal. With the expan-
sion of Federal activities
into almost all the affairs
of men, the army of Federal
OffiGe holders has increased

now being cared for by the
public relief organizations, be-
cause of unemployment. State
funds are giving out, but State
lands are still plentiful, so the
governor thinks that the back
to-the-farm movement is the
answer.
Sounds great, doesn't it?
Probably you wouldn't hesitate
for a second to take one of
those farms if you had a
chance.
BUT I WONDER IF YOU'D
REALLY LIKE 1T AFTER
YOU GOT THERE?
We're going to hear a lot
OF plans like that during the
next twelve months; and
thousands of people are actu-
ally going to start back to the
land.
BUT HOW LONG WILL
THEY STAY THERE?
AND WON'T MOST OF
THEM END UP IN A WORSE
MESS THAN THEY WE'RE
WHEN THEY STARTED?
Not A Gloom
No. I'm not a gloom, and
personally I'm strong for the
wide open spaces. I've lived
in them most of my life. I've
made my living in them. I
have a home in them now, and
I'd just as soon "go wood
chuck for the rest of my
