son be m entally alert, physically “ on
the p e c k ’ ’ and' in every way f i t . A
person under the in flu e n ce o f liquor
doe* not have these qualification s, but
he does know enough to know that he
has no business o perating a motor vc
hide.
I t is no excuse b e fo re the law for a
person who has com mitted murder to
plead t h a t he did so while under the
influence of liquor. There should be
uo excuse fo r his com m ittin g murder
un in ten tio n ally
while
in the
snino
condition, and th e re might be some
doubt i f murder thus com mitted was
not partially premeditated.
T h e person re ferred to is a rich mnn,
is a prominent resident of a big city,
and is a man Well along in years. For
some reason six judges s ittin g eu banc
le t this c rim inal, for a person who de­
lib erately drives a c a r while in a
drunken condition is nothing else, go
free.
T h e Sentin el does not impugn the in
t e g n t y o f the court, it does not for a
moment believe that the court was
bribed, it does not think that the court
could have been hribed with money,
but it ce r ta in ly must have been bribed
by a sym p athetic t ale o f some kind,
by a lach rymal appeal for nii-*ry and
!>oaaibly by fri end sh ip fur a prominent
citixen.
None of these things should have had
auy weight or b e aring on the caao.
i f a less prominent o ffe nd er, i f a
less w ealthy ofA-mler, i f a younger o f
fender, i f a lum b erja ck from the Cot
tage Grove country , for instance, would
not have received the same kind of
tre a tm e n t from this court, there was
no reaaou why t m s rich and drunken
o f f e n d e r should have received such
tre atm e n t.
I t is the b e lie f o f the people gen
e rally t h a t a C o ttag e Grove lumlier-
j a c k would hav e been, under the same
condition, promptly put tiehuid the
b ars and there are many who can not
be made to believe that the court was
not bribed. While T h e S e n t in e l would
vigorously defend the court against
any such charge, y e t they have them
selves laid themselves open to such n
suspicion, and it is this apparen t dis
tinetio n made between o ffe n d e r s that
brings the courts and governm ent into
disrepute and makes bolsheviks, anar
rh is ts and other enemies o f the estub
lished law.
The S e ntin e l realizes that the mem
bers o f the court are only human, that
they a r e s u b je c t to the same in fluences
as o th e r human bein gs and might in a
moment o f mental a b e rratio n make an

T h e nil night dance has no valid ex

for blue laws nor for the curtailment

but a public dance t h a t ia perm itted

has nothing to commend it.
