Tho assertion of the Supreme Court «»f
It* authority and dignity in imposing: jail
Sentences on a sheriff, a jailer and others
responsible in part for the lynching of a
prisoner whose, appeal the court had
under consideration is welcome not only
as a vindication of the nation's judicial
power, but as a precedent which may
lend other tribunals to take notice at
similar affronts. The violence of a mob,
abetted by tht- negligence of sheriffs or
jaJln* mi cbargo of prisoners, is con
stantly taking cases out of the hands of
the courts and nullifying the processed
of justice. if the «-ourts Ugh ami low,
unite to punish for contempt those who
lawlessly invade their jurisdiction and
those wLo fail to use duo diligence in
checkin; that invasion, though under
oath to keep prisoners In safe custody,
there may be an end to Incidents lik)
those i f last week in Cairo. HI., which
lower our self-respect and discredit oar
civilization.
The Supreme Court has seldom been
called upon to punish contempt. Its proc
esses bavo been generally re^p^ted. But
the lns-ane passion tor mob violence
which has been allowed to flourish in so
many communities hat no resard for tra
ditions or Jurisdictions, and when tli"
occasion came it brushed aside the au
thority of th«» highest court .iu>t at reok
!• i>i> ,-i- v has >•> often outraged tin?
dignity of low.-r tribunals. The Supreme
Court i- not prepared, however, to sit
passive under such an insult. It bus
hunt I'll down and punished those who
deflod It. Would that the state courts
had shown the same determination i'>
\! Itiug similar contempt wltli adequate
penalties! Tin* lynching habit will be
aJiana;iWMial arhea) defiant mobs and half
li«arte«l sheriffs ar*» dealt with not only
as disturbers of the peace, but as vlolat
:s of judicial prerogatives.

To the Editor of Tha Tribune.
Sir: Permit me to express my profound
satisfaction with your editorial on "Th*
Sham© of Illinois." wnich Is by far the best
I have seen on the abominable outrage on
law and order which took place at Cairo.
Your characterization of It as tending to
degrade- and dehumanize those who took
part In it as participants and applauding
spectators is right to the point. The local
authorities were contemptibly weak that
they did not promptly attempt the sup
pression of tho riot In Us luclplency.
They should have called on the Governor
for sufficient military force, Including a
battery of artillery, which should hava
been trained en th« mob and effectively
served, and If the result had been the kill
ing and wounding of half Its number it
would have been a magnificent vindication
of the majesty of law and the honor of th©
ftate which was outrage.
The voice of th« whole nation should be
ralsed In indignant condemnation of this
infamy. j r. i>. l.

CRIMINAL LAW REFORM URGED.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos of the celebrated murder
trial Just concluded in France, much d:.-.
cussion and iidvt r.-.' criticism has been In
dulg.d l.i on this sid« or th<? Atlantic, and
from some editorials In our local paper*
one would be led to believe that the French
administration of criminal law should be
condemned as outrageous and unjust.
As a matter of tact, th.- French criminal
law and Its administration protect th« in
nocent more ii:!y than hore in the gtate
Of Wow York.
The French method Is direct, whtlo ours
la the opposite. a suspected person here
la arrested ard immediately taken U» Police
Headquarters. WberQ tho chief of detec
tives and all aids administer the so-called
"third degree," which Is nothing less than
a rigid and brutal examination, a *tar
chamber proceeding, where the unfortunate
victim la holpirflai bHasj without counsel
and Ignorant of his constitutional privi
leges. Let us reform cur laws and Its ad
ministration before- condemning the French
method.
The Judges in Trance, as in most Euro
pean countries, are appointed and have
tenure of offlcs for life, and If our judges
were likewise appointed our Judicial admin
istration would te elevated, m it should be.
and our people would nave- more respect
for th* law and also would develop our
moral tense. Now we see the laws openly
violated and total'- disregarded, especially
in reference to Sunday liquor selling, and it
follows that the evasion or violation of
even one law inevitafclv produces disregard
for law generally, In Franc* laws are
•ureljr more respected and not broken so
often. But when the tow is violated, pun
ishment follows promptly and surely, as In
En?!und and in most European countries,
and with celerity unknown to us In Ne^v
York.
From the point of riew of a layman *-ho
has served m a peMt and grand juror,
much reform is needed in our method of
criminal cdminlstratlon. V.'c cannot and
should not adopt any European »-. stem, but
v,« can and ''I'd improve our own. A
person accused shoa!d have the benefit of
proper advice and his examination should
tv conducted not at Police Headquarter*.
but by a lawyer especially designated by
the prosecutor and officer of the county;
and if indicted, the trial should take paaoa
within a week after the arrest. On those
lines much is expected from our newly
elected District . •!,-■>, and tho*e who
know him best say New York .-111 not bo
disappointed. TOMO ■AJtOCKTI
