down to the restaurant in order to in-
lulge in this delicacy. For in this
land of the froe and the home of the
brave there are bold men who are pro
claiming its virtues abroad. And,
strange as they may seem, these cla
rion voices do not belong to the nd
writers. Their numbers include dieti
cians, scientists, traveling salesmen
and physicians.
One of the thines that vexes and
perplexes is the readiness with which
the average citiien, of either sex, is
no ready to criticise the courts and
the law enforcement officials, and yet
is so prompt to carry all troubles to
one or the other. Criticism of the
courts and the officers has become a
habit one of the things that the av
erage man indulges in without any
forethought, just as he grabs his um
brella when it's raining and leaves it
the first place he stops after the
shower has ceased.
The habit begins, presumably, when
the citiien, or some friend or acquaint
ance is mixed up in a lawsuit. Natur
ally enough, it's impossible for either
side to be perfectly satisfied with a
verdict, and the aggrieved one prompt
ly noises abroad his conviction that
the court was prejudiced, or that the
jurors were a set of lunkheads. Again,
In any prominent case, there are al
ways those who want to see justice
done, and others who hold that mercy
should be shown. By the time a man
or woman is old enough to vote these
days, there is a fairly firm conviction
that the courts are not to be trusted,
and that the law enforcement officials
are a pretty weak lot. And men who
will stop and consider for fifteen min
' utes before spending fifteen cents will
say, right off the bat, whenever given
the opportunity, that "the court's too
easy on these criminals," or "the coun
ty attorney could have found twice that
much evidence." True, if asked to tes
tify to' help convict a criminal, the
same man will hem and haw and hedge
and get out of it some way, but ten
minutes later will be willing to tell
you, in strict confidence or otherwise,
that "there's plenty of evidence to con
vict these bootleggers if the officers
will only keep their eyes peeled."
Of course, there are times when
something happens which gives color
to the belief that the courts are not
doing their duty. Take Borne of the
bootlegging cases that were up for
trial, at the present term of district
court. One defendant was charged
with illegal transportation of liquor,
In county court, Judge Tash found
him guilty. An officer had found a
bottle of hooch in the car. A man
was deputized to watch the car for a
minute while the officer went across
the street. While he was gone, the
owner of the car seized the bottle and
dashed it to the pavement. The man
cn. guard admitted, on the stand, that
he was a judge of whisky, and that
the overpowering odor that arose was
ample proof. The officer, returning,
had the presence of mind to dip his
handkerchief in the liquid and saved
enough hooch for a test. The evidence
was conclusive and unimpeachable,
The judge assessed a fine. The case
was appealed.
The sheriff saved the bottle of al
leged hootrh as evidence. He labeled it
carefully and locked it up in his strong
box, awaiting the time when it should
be produced in court. Bottles of evi
dence in other cases were in the same
strong box. Something maybe the
quality of the liquor induced moisture
in the lox, the labels were soaked off,
and the evidence mixed. The sheriff
couldnt tell them apart. The witness
who testified at the first trial was not
in the city. District Judge Westover,
in the face of the changed circum
stances, and with the evidence of but
one officer, and that verbal, could do
nothing but discharge the defendant
The result is, strangely enough, that
the ultra-wet element in the county is
censuring Judge Tash. "The judge is
too strict too hard-boiled," they pay.
"Why, he convicts on little or no evi
dence. See, the district court sets
aside his judgment' And the ultra
dry element, knowing as little about
developments in the case as do the
ultra-wets, say, scornfully, "Judge
Westover is entirely too lenient with
these hooch peddlers. He lets all of
them go." Actually, each court ren
dered a just judgment with the evi
dence produced. . :
And so, the next time Mr. Average
Citizen is inclined to censor the
courts wait a minute. See if you
know how the case stands at the time
it goes to bat. Then you won't make
another one of those foolish errors, but
youH do your part in upholding pub
lic respect for the courts and the law.
They're needed now more than at any
time in history. Censure, in the right
place, is a good thing, but whea at
