We have no sym pathy with the judicial recall, but we have less sympathy with the defenders of the courts, who, waxing patriotic in their whole sale defense of court practice, blindly refuse to recognize that there is anything at all the mat ter with our judicial system and j ing methods. - One need not search long in any direction to find ample ma terial for just criticism of the methods of some courts. The Saturday Evening Post, in re viewing the annual report of. the New York police department, finds that during 1911, 148 mur 'ders were committed in that city, but only 13 murderers were convicted and not one was ex ecuted. For the three preceding years the annual average was 117 murders and 25 convictions. For the same three years the annual average in the metropoli tan police district of London, containing a population of about 7,000,000, was 20 murders, while 15 murderers were convicted or committed suicide. Continuing, the Post says: "Why does New York, in pro portion to population, have nearly eight times as many murders as Londoi? Principally, we be lieve because murder involves less risk in New York than in London, where, three times out of four, the murderer suffers death or long imprisonment, and the punishment very'swiftly fol lows the crime. "Responsibility for this scan dalous American condition rests, Thursday, April 11, 1912. Murder and. the Courts Cananbaigua Journal. Psychology of Aviation The recent death at Los Ange les. of C. D. Rodgers. the coast to coast aviator, was possibly due to carelessness in estimat- his height.' In a flight the day before he met is death, ho showed extreme carelessness, when at the dizzv height of 5.000 feet, Rodger3 released all levers and steering gear, and stretched back in his machine and said he was tired. His me hanician, who was flying with him at the time, cautioned him that such foolishness was sui f.idal. that a bad current 01 air might catch them unguarded. Rodcrers laughed at his com panion's nervousness. The fol lowing day Rodgers lost control of his machine at a height of only 200 feat, and was hurled to his death, on y a few hun dred feet from the spot where he had officially completed the first and only ocean to ocean flight. Under, the caption, "Are Avia tors as Indifferent of Death as the Saracanp?" the Spokesman Review recently published the following analysis of the psych ology of aviation, the . careless ness of the operators, which they all recognize will sooner or later result in their death: "Edward Lyell Fox finds that the aeroplanist is a fatalist. The aviators, according to him, feel that a death-dealing thing lurks in the skies and there a waits their day of doom. "'If its after me,' the bird- 1 Hi (11 1 man Deneves, it 11 get me. "This weird fatalism has made the sailors of the skies as indiff erent to tdeath as the Saracens of the seventh century were re puted to be. But Mr. Fox claims that the accidents of aviators are due, not to fate, but to the strange psychology of aviators, to carelessness in flying or to mishaps that may befall any man at any time or place. , "In the first place, aviators reason that 'lightning does not strike twice in the same way. If it's to strike us in another place it will. That's all.' More over, an accident to one aviator has no lasting effect on his fellows. When Johnstone was killed at Denver Hoxsey said: 'It was his turn,' and this is the mental attitude of an aviator. "In the next place, careless ness comprises such failings as relaxation of nervous alertness, momentary loss of equipoise, overconfidence and the mistaking either of recklessness or ignor ance of danger or fatalistic in difference for genuine courage. "Lastly, among the probable mishaps, for which, however, aviators are not responsible, come airsickness, heart failure, mental collapse, temporary pa ralysis from the cold or the breaking of the machine or its buffeting by the billows of the atmosphere. "The wisest word yet spoke about aviating is this by Lath am: 'Only in the utmost vigil ance lies safety,' With the em ployment of vigilance an avia tor, as the statistics of flights and deaths in 1912 showed, may travel 62,500 miles ere "it" gets 11:111. As Ir ,s inconsistent as He. (From the Detroit Froo ProoB) It looks now as though the colonel 1b apt to learn that many peoplo do not vote as thoy cheer. Prineville is much elated over the prospects of a railroad con necting with either the Oregon Trunk or the Harriman road. We possibly are old fasioned, but we haven t gotten away from the idea that local prosperity means general prosperity. We cant help but admire the spirit that prompts that community to sub scribe $80,000 toward the initial expense of the cost of construc tion. We hope that the same spirit will manifest itself until the road is completed, and the last of the pioneer stages have disappeared from at least the northwestern part of Crook County.
