Inquisitorial Methods of
Citizens' Committees
Questionable
Contrary to Legal
Procedure of
America
By Justice WARREN W. FOS
TER of New York
CHE authorized commit
tees of investigation,
such as haro been in
office in Washington
recently, are ENTIRELY
PROPER, in my mind, and
highly enlightening. What
ever objections may bo raised
against the political affiliations
of these authorized committees
in Washington I regard tho po
? litical character of the men who
cemhu them a> greatly in favor of PUBLIC WELFARE.
A Democratic investigating eommitteo may bo suspectcd of seek
ing to uncover the rascality of the Republican party, just as a Re
pub!;. in in\ ?t Igating committee will obviously seek to discover tho
r. - iliti* - f the Democratic party. No doubt thero are rascals on
I tliu political conflict, so that politically investigating
cmz under political authority are perhaps the SAFEST
FORM OF SECURING EVIDENCE FOR TIIE PEOPLE.
A PRIVATE CITIZENS' COMMITTEE ACTING MORE OR LESS
SECRETLY IN ITS SYSTEM. OF SECURING INFORMATION IS SOME
WHAT CONTRARY TO THE LEGAL PROCEDURE OF AMERICA.
Ti c f -ition of the law as it is interpreted in the American courts
i- -v iifferent from that of the European. In Europe tho methods
of curing the truth are INQUISITIONAL; in America thev arc

system over the other, but over hero wo have found that the inquisi

vances, the theories he'll spin; for
ill will be gazing upon that amaz
ing assortment of spinach that hang
irorn his chin. Ills whiskers are
flossy and gleaming ami glossy, like

"The man with the whiskers is spea

all throbbing with passion he'll argue
some question important and deep;
co.igrcb*louul kinglets will look at
his ringlets and yearn for a barber
