THE PEOPLE AND THEIR LAWS!
_ |
This paper recently published an
editorial which took the position that
the people are masters of their laws—
that they make them through their j
representatives, and enforce them thru
their officials. Last week an inci
dent occurred in a Pennsylvania court
which shows that. the people some
times fail to do their part in asserting
mastery of their own laws.
A man was on trial charged with
murder . The evidence against him
was conclusive. The jury brought in
a verdict of ‘guilty of the crime.” Re
minded by the judge that such a ver-1
diet was illegal, that the accused must
be guilty of first, second, or third de
gree murder, the jury next reported,
“guilty in the first degree with rec
ommendation of clemency by the
court.-’ Again instructed that such
a verdict was illegal ,the jury finally
rendered a verdict of “guilty of mur- •
der in the second degree.”
The people through their represen
tatives made the laws respecting mur
der and fixed the penalties therefor.
Under the laws the jury was duty
bound to find a verdict according to
law’ and the evidence, which if in the
first degree would have sent the ac
cused to the electric chair, Evidently
' "the jury, perhaps opposed to the death
penalty or perchance for some othei ,
reason, hesitated to carry out the law,
oreferring to let the law be master of
them rather than to be masters of
the law. When men sworn to exe
cute the law’ fail to execute it, how
can they remain masters of it?
The people must do their part in the
execution of law, if the law has force
and effect—this is in substance what
the judge told the jury. If they do
not do their part, they have no cause
of complaint if justice miscarries and
society suffers. People are masters |
of their law’s only w’hen they apply1
the laws as they should be applied.

JAP GOLDEN WATER
WELL IS DRYING UP
TOKIO Nov 14.—The Golden Water
Well is drying up.
Such is a recent report that states
this is the first time the famous well
in the compound of the Imperial pal
ace has dried up since the establish
ment of the Pldo cattle on the site.
Dr. Fujiwara, of the weather bu
reau here, has investigated the well,
but is unable to explain the phenome
non. He says that it may be the re
sult of a change in the soil since the
September earthquake, or else maybe
some sinister foreboding.
There always has ‘been mystery con
nected with it, for the water there is
colder than in any other well in Tokto.
It is so cold that it is impossible for
one to keep his hands in it for longer
than a minute at a time. And during
the worst droughts in past times there
has always been water in the well.
The drying up of the Golden Water
Well has served to direct the atten
tion of experts to another mystery
connected with the palace.
In the castle tower are wind holes
through which a cold wind is always
blowing at high speed. Many experts
of the weather bureau have investi
gated them, it is said, but have not
been able to understand the low tem
perature nor the velocity of the wind.
“Science at its present stage of de
velopment,” said Dr. Fujiwara, “is
utterly at a loss to find a reason for
such a phenomenon.”
Even in dog days, he says, the mer
cury does not register more than 51
degrees.

ZEPPELINS CARRY MANY
PASSENGERS IN GERMANY
FRIEDRICHSHAVEN, Nov. 14—
ZR-3, the dirigible baloon that is due
to make another trip from her hang
er in New Jersey, has been given more
space in the German newspapers, than
any other. The fact that she was
built under the treaty of Versailles
for the United States government, ac
counts for this.
Another Zeppelin dirigible, the Bo
den-See, acquired considerable fame
after the war. This ship made 103
successful flights, traveled 34,000 or
more miles, carried more than 2,600
passengers, and was eventually turn
ed over to Italy.
Louis Revire and Jos. Gagnon, of
Seldovia, were brought over on the
Redondo by a deputy marshal, and
will be taken to Valdez jail to serve
their sentences. One received eleven
months and 29 days in jail and a
$1,000 fine and the other eight months
in jail and an $800 fine.
