THE LAW'S DELAYS
This is the week in which spring term of circuit court
was to start in Deschutes county, but because scheduled cases
were not ready for trial, we learn from a news story in our
favorite daily paper, the opening of the term was postponed.
The story stated further that prospective jurors will be called
U9 soon as the cases are ready. This should be helpful to the
attorneys concerned. It may not be so helpful to jurors and
witnesses.
It is probable that no department of government has
greater freedom in routine than the courts, that no profession
enjoys greater latitude than that of the law. Unfortunately,
the very fact that this is so means that there can easily be
: encroachments upon the freedom of the ordinary citizen when
ho becomes, temporarily, a part of the machinery of the
- courts. We are thinking especially of those drawn for jury
service. On the date set. on the hour specified, at the ap
pointed place, those notified must appear. It is quite likely
that some of them may not even be named on the panel to
answer questions as to their fitness to aid in the trial; but
they must be present. There are penalties for the absent or
jtrdy one. It is true that jurors are paid tor tneir attendance,
but the payment is far Jess than the individuals could orcn
narily earn if they remained at their regular work.
It must be remembered that jury service was originally
sought as a privilege or right. In the years it has become also
a duty and, too often, a burdensome duty. 1 he burden, we tecl,
should be lightened where possible. Courts and counsel have
the power and the opportunity to make jury service less irk'
some. .
Postponement of cases may sometimes be necessary. We
wish to emphasize this fact since we have no direct knowledge
oi the circumstances in connection wiin tne scneduiea cases
which we have mentioned which were not ready for trial. But
we do know that there are not infrequently postponements
which are not necessary.
Jurors who must arrange and rearrange their personal
affairs to suit the changing schedules would, we are sure, ap
plaud the enforcement of a policy of bringing cases to trial at
the announced times, of avoidance of postponements except
when real necessity requires. Attorneys, we suggest, owe it to
the public that provides much of the background of their op
erations, to help .to keep the cost down and the operation
eliicient.
"PUNISHMENT" FOR HITLER
' Frank Hemingway of Mutual (once of KBND), who six
times a week is heard giving the first news of the day over
any western network, is calling for suggestions as to the
punishment of enemy war criminals. The question is not a
, new one, but remains an important one. That Hitler and his
, kind shall be punished has already been agreed upon by rep
resentatives of the leading allied nations. Just how this is to
; be done is rather vague, although there is more than a sus
picion that Russia may have been taking action in cu.s.tomariiy
direct fashion. As to western plans and methods, however,
the question will certainly bear discussion and here we pre
sent our thoughts on the subject.
First of all, we dislike the word, "punishment," in con
nection with crime. "Punishment" somehow carries with it
the idea of adequacy. It may be adequate or it may not be. In
the case of the war criminals any measures which could be
conceived would be pitifully inadequate, except for the very
minor ones. Could Hitler and Ilimmler, for instance (and we
are naYning only two), be made to suffer a hundredth part of
thlsuFrin,f which they have w'lfully caused humanity to
suffer The thought is manifestly ridiculous. Thev cannot give
"an eye for an eye," for each, unfo'rtunately, has only the
normal complement of eyes. No, adequacy of punishment in
the sense of retribution is quite impossible.
However, punishment, in the latter-day theory of dealing
with criminals, does not connote retribution. It is for purposes
of correction, to encourage reform and to protect society from
the criminal. We think that the chances of reform are nil
that we are dealing with ineorrigiblos, with habitual crim
inals. And their crimes are capital crimes.
Were this not so, it might be sufficient to protect -ocietv
by putting away these malefactors for. life. I!,it it is so and
the only safe and sure way is lo deprive them of life. Unfortu
nately we cannot so safely and surely prevent the evil that
hey have done from living after them. We can eliminate
.them, for good and all, as a source of more evil. We should
do this with dispatch.
This is our idea of "punishment" for the war guiltv If we
seem to err on the side of mercy, let us make plain at once
that it is because of no desire to be merciful, but rather be
cause we are disinclined to use the methods (and hence to
.accept he teachings), of those whose methods and teach is
