fundamental defects exist
IN OUR COURT METHODS FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION OF -THE LAW
AMERICAN CONTRALTO
FOR MUSIC FESTIVAL
—EX-GOV. W. J. NORTHEN.
H Is conceded on all sides nnd by all
rlassf’s or our people that there are
„me fundamental defects In our court
methods for the administration of the
, , ha t need to be corrected. What
X,« e defects are many of ua know
Ly through the miscarriage of Jus-
ite os the result of some court trials
’,nd subsequent hindrances that oc-
It certainly must be within the power
of those who are learned in the law to
•ingest to our general assembly the
.memlments necessary and the new
enactments required, that the people
may he protected against lawlessness
,nd crime and violence and misrule.
If ue preserve the peace of the state
and enforce order In these troublous
time* we certainly must have adequate
law nnd such proper and positive ad-
ministration as the Intelligence of the
conservative people will commend nnd
our community Interests demand. The
general dissatisfaction and unrest
throughout the state seems to Indicate
that this Is not now the case.
Again, it appears that we have not
yet hod sufficient law to handle prop
erly and effectively some of our most
irauhleioms people. This Is Certainly
true of "tramps," "vagrants" and ed
ucated criminals, who are thrust upon
our communities—the latter class hav
ing been made outlaws by the very
eystenis we have adopted for punishing
the violators of law.
To meet the first, wo need a more
comprehensive definition of "tramp"
,nd "vagrant" and. then, wise, strln-
jenl and Just laws for dealing with
inch people.
The Alabama law, recently enacted,
meets more nearly my view upon this
lubject than anything I have yet seen.
In Alabama the following people are
declared "vagrants:;’ "(a) Any per
ron who wanders or strolls about in
Idleness or lives in Idleness, who Is
able to work, and has no property sufs
ncient for his support: (b) Any lter-
mn leading an Idle, Immoral or prof
ligate life, who has no property suffi
cient for his support, and who is able
to work nnd does not work; (c) any
able-bodied person having no prop
erty sufficient for his support, who
loafs, loiters or Idles In any city, town
lor village, or upon a public highway
or about a steamboat landing, or a
railroad station, or any other public
place In this atate, or any place where
latoilcatlng liquor is sold, without reg-
ula- employment: (d) any person trad
ing op*bartering stolen property or who
..-I.,,, f.ill.r ant la sir DfirffTH OttV SDllit*
the burden of proof upon defendants.
I do not agree with the Alabama law
In the punishment provided for "va-
. ..
unlawfully sells or barters any spirit
uous, vinous, malt or other Intoxicat
ing liquors: (e) any person who Is a
l common drunkard: (f) any person who
ii a professional gambler: (g) any
able-bodied person who Is found beg
ging; (hi any able-bodied person who
•hall abandon his wife nnd children
or either of them, without Just cause,
leaving her or them without sufficient
means of subsistence, or In danger of
becoming a public charge; (I) any per
is a prostitute: (J) any per-
ployee of a house of prostltutln; (k)
my persn who la the keeper, proprie
tor nr employee of a gambling house:
111 nnv person who has no property
sufficient for hl» support and wjio Is
able to work and does not work, but
hires out his children or allows them
to hire nut."
All these people are declared to be
"vagrants.'’ The Alabairtn law put*
grants." For such people we need
work house that they may be taught
trades and haw to work at them and
kept constantly employed until their
morals are so strengthened as to pre
vent them from becoming a menace to
our society and dangerous elements In
the community.
We educate and train the unfortu
nates who are blind. • We educate and
train the unfortunates who are deaf
and dumb. These expenses we gladly
Incur, In order that we may make these
people helpful members of society.
It Is much Jess expense to educate and
train bad people to become good, than
educate and train them to become more
wicked and thoroughly destructive
members of society, why not establish
reformatories and work houses for all
these classes of "vagiytnts” and keep
them employed until they are ready to
he restored to the community as forces
for good, rather thttn pay out more
money and then return them to society
fully equipped to destroy.
If we can properly train and handle
all these people In Georgia, crime and
violence will be greatly reduced.
To free ourselves from the dangers
that come from the second class nam
ed, do we not need fundamental and
tadlcal legislation?
Our present penal system begins with
the boys, and, through Its direct pro
visions of law. the state actually help*
men and boys to obtain complete
knowledge and thorough practice In
all criminal methods, by close and con
stant contact with the most evil and
wicked members of our society. Our
whole penal system Is wrong, and the
people must come to consent to a rad-
cal change. Why not hove reforma
tories and work houses to take the
place of Jails and chalngangs and In
discriminate leasing of convicts, so that
the violators of law may he educated
away from crime and not led, day by
day, Into the fullest knowledge of all
the methods of Iniquity and sin? If
this Is not done, crimes will become
more and more prevalent and more
and more revolting. Should not the
state see that criminals who are pun
ished are not made human devils dur
ing their terms of service, but better
prepared and better equipped to be
come members of a society that they
will help to build and make secure?
Can It ever be enpposed for a mo
ment that the Incarceration of a white
boy or a negro boy, one day or sixty
days, in a Jail or chalngang or peniten
tiary—crowded with expert criminals—
will ever tend to make either one of
them a better member of society In
later years? Did It ever enter the
thought of any cltlxen that the aver
age lessee of convicts ever considered,
for a moment, the moral character of
the men who,' for a specified term, fur
nished the muscle to dig out profits for
him are In turn to compensate society
by Increased theft and burglary and
murder and criminal assaults, after the
convicts become free and are thrust
upon us again as unguarded and un-
hfndi ’
ered members of the community?
Everybody must know such convicts
are loaded to the brim with Iniquity
that has been packed Into them during
their terms of service under our pres
ent system. How long ehall we toler
ate this method of punishment, that
■rows more and more hurtful to our
society conditions and more and more
MISS AMANDA MURDOCK-MAULL.
Cincinnati girl engaged by Dr. J. Lewis Browne as one of the contraltos
for the May-June Musical Festival.
Miss Amanda Murdock-Maull Said To Be
a Beauty as Well as Vocalist
* of Note.
On a recent trip to Cincinnati, Dr. J.
Lewis Browne made a discovery In
Miss Amanda Murdock-Maull, a con
tralto of rare Individuality of voice, and
Incidentally an American girl of more
than average beauty. Although not
as well known In this section os some
other singers who have appeared here,
It Is believed that she will prove one
of the greatest hits of the May-June
Festival, where she will appear at sev
eral performances between May 29 and
June 1.
Headquarters of the festival, at 519
Empire building, Is receiving mnny in
quiries dally from music lovers, and the
sale of season tickets has been unusu
ally gratifying at this stage.
Not the least pleasing feature of the
festival will be the singing of a chil
dren's chorus of 100, which will be led
by Professor B. C. Davis, of the public
schools. On the great stage of the Bt.
Nicholas Auditorium, where the festi
val will be given, they will make one
of the most charming spectacles of the
occasion.
threatening to our civilization as
Christian people? Is It not true that
the state, under this system. Is now
educating criminals on the Inside who
are to bo handled by other criminals
on the outside and oftentimes mur
dered without the authority of law?
Again, can we, the superior race,
confidently expect the security of our
homes when we neglect to enact nnd
enforce such laws ns will fully protect
the homes of the Inferior race from
outrage and ruin and shame?
It Is quite well known that there are
racial conditions now working moral
corruption and social evils that our
present laws do not seem able to reach
this unholy, mixing of
blood, to sny nothing of the Insuffer
able evlle that come to our communi
ty life from this source?
Again, how has It happened that
we have delayed all these long and
cruel years end not framed an enact
ment for the protection of victims of
criminal aasaults, while giving evidence
before the courts? Why have we not,
Virginia law, that allows the evidence
to be given, not to the grand Jury, nor
In open court, but before the presiding
Judge, the attorney general of the state
and the counsel for the prisoner—the
prisoner himself being present?
That we may provide a remedy for
these evils and others like them it has
been deemed wise to select a commls
slon, chosen from among the most
learned men of the law, skilled In the
ram different parts of the state, far
removed from nil political bias and
