Carmack, the judge sentenc- p ed hint to serve 20 years to prison and then the governor, Malcolm B Patierson, instantly pardoned him. The will of the people of Tennessee was set aside by the gov ernor, for no other reasou than p that Cooper, the politician, had 5 been the staunch supporter of ' Patterson the politician To this . " the sovereign state of Tennessee had to submit. The courts of \ Tennessee were run over rough- ^ shod and Tennessee no rediess. Patterson's olfense against the ^ state was plain, but for him there II was no punishment.

A UV 0IIMWIIV/M MWSWUVMW an undermining of moral conditions which is indeed appalling. The fundamental law of the land recognizes the sacredness of hu. man lite,and" all of our institutions are built upon this conception of civilized conditions, and the record demands and should receive the most serious consideration of , the public. We are prone to look to the courts for the preservation of order and protection of life, and too often forget that the courts are no different from or 1 greater than the standards impos 1 ed by public sentiment. The ' reason that the courts are singled L out is because they represent something that is definite and * Wi&ibfe, but at bottom the trouL lite Is with the people themselves. ?TThe courts may impose mades quate sentences, but, the juries drawn directly from the people, re largely responsible for both 5" j the verdict and the penalty. Ordinarily, a judge will not impose - j a minimum sentence except iJ upon the recommendation of the '' jury and there can be no doubt I that the practice of delaying the !* I trial ot capital cases is intended " and has the ellect to influence ~~! the verdict in favor of the defend 5 by resisting: delays and securing: ? prompt trials. 1 The remedy must start in the ' home. This is indispensably r necessary, for the failure to inculr cate sound precepts and righteous t principles in the child, is a failure ' which society in the large can t never wholly supply. The want * ot such sound groundings in the child explains the weak sentimentalitv which so often influ cnces a jury, and whicli is in no i sm.dl degree responsible tor the ? failure to administer justice in ' such a way as to be at once >\ riant eons in itself and preventive ' ui its influence.
