COMMON SENSE AND THE
COURT.
The Kansas Supreme Court has
just rendered a decision that, if
patterned after in other states
will do mucj|i to dissipate the
prevailing sentiment in favor of
the recall cf judges and judicial
decisions and lo lessen the pro
tests f gainst the laws delays. The
couit has decided to put a stop to
the practice of appealing cases
because a few lines of incompe
tent evidence happen to find their
way into the trial of a case.
“Jurors,” says the Kansas
court, “ai.e not sensitive plants
from which every slight breeze
or breath of incompetent evidence
must L>e excluded in order to
maintain their qualifications to
decide a case. When the issues
have been fully presented it is
not the policy of the law to send
the case back for another trial
unless there is material preju
dice.” /
What s to become of jurispru
dence if lawyers are not to be
permitted to appeal eases upon
the ground that the1 court below
committed error in the assump
tion that the jurors were crea
tures of intelligence?
Decisions of this character
may be a little rough on Lawyer
Quibble but they will aid the
cause of justice and be satis
factory to litigants and to the
public.—Ex.

For the sake of their families

Secretary McAdoo is a bit of a

“Let us try free trade,” says
Professor Taft of Yale, who has

Mexico’s election has been fix

A convict in the California

The press reports carry a story
of a Kentucky girl who led the

That story must have been dis
covered in a moving picture show.
It never happened in Kentucky.
Belmore Browne, a faunal nat
uralist, claims to have discover

apron.
The 'California legislature has
just voted 810,000 reward to Wil
