Arsofr 1 Tuesday night. .A crowd
w'eiit to 1 M'ahoue’s home to ridicule
inay rest upon defects in the
laws, biit we do not believe if;
Rather, we are of the opinion that
delays in the inforcement of our
laws are directly dde to the court
rales applied to the adndiuistra
tion of the laws. In plaift terms,
the privileges, allowed lawyers,
and the intricate technicalities
by means of which justice may be
delayed, cause all the - trouble,
However, be the cause what it
may, justice lids groftri to Be ex
ceedingly tardy; and the remedy
should be discovered and applied.
If th'e laws are themselves to
blame, the laws should be amend
ed. If the rules of court pro
ceedure cause the trials to be un-
ueccessarily extended, then these
rdles should be remodeled.
To a man of common sense and
upright in his demeanor, it seems
absurd, and akin to criminality, to
allow a mere tecbnichality to
stand in the way of justice, and in
the face of - eondeifiuing facts to
defer the trial bf a case involving
the bom mission of a crime.
It is a most uudeniable fact that
ntifior crimes are quickly and easi
ly disposed of and the Criminals
punished in short efrder. But
the criminal of heiiibus character
often finds technicalities And
rules by aid of which hiri trial
may be prolonged to the butrage
of justice and the disgust of the
law-abiding people. With Mon
ey enough to fee lawyers liberally;
a iinirdCrer can escape justice
for several years; even though the
testimony may show his guilt
couclusively.
Such delays in the application
of law to crirnidkl Cases' Conctus-
iveiy furnish the foundation upon
which lynch law finds strength in
the minds of outraged people. It
is not our purpose to-designate
a remedy. The efrt exists.
There should b’e legs delay iu the
administration of criminal law.
There is a remedy. The judges
000, and to riiaterially enlaige and
beautify ilie houses and other ap
pointments of Central Git} Park.
It is also suggested that this com
pany alter into bo-partnership
With the state agricultural society,
allowing the society to control the
agricultural feature of the fairs.
However; the company May bon
elude to enter the exposition busi-
ness Single Banded. Iu Which
event the society may be released
from the contract to Bold a fair
annually at Central City Park.
This, we learn, is desii-ed by the
society, and if done; the state
fairs will migrate from city to city
in the state, holding successively
at Macon, Atlanta, Augusta; Sa
vannah and Columbus.
W.e heartily endorse this pro
posed plan, and hope the stock
company will be speedily organ
ized as indicated.
The people of Georgia Have
formed the conclusion that the
highest Mark attainable by a fiiir
conld not be reached by the So
ciety, owing to its peculiar foi-ma
tion. In saying this we do not
mean any criticism of the Mah-
ageifieht of ahy recent state fair;
for we are satisfied the best that
could be done has been acijdih
plished.
The fact is this; Men wdrBing
without pay will not be as ener
getic as those who receive moiiey
for what they do, and in prdjjpr-
tion to what tiief accomptisii. The
difference between the agricultural
society and the stock company is
just here.
