THE SPECTATOR (Continued from Page Four) “Judges shall not charge juries in respect to matters of fact, but shall declare the law”. So says our State Constitution. And thereby hangs a tale, as Shakespeare says. I’ve often wondered why that rule was adopted for South Carolina. It has probably bred more easy verdicts and miscar riages of justice than any other fac tor. What a pity that no one wrote notes of the Constitutional conven tion in intimate debate or commit tee work. You hear expressions of admira tion for the British courts and our Federal courts; they are entirely di rected by the presiding judges. The judge rules his court. He sums up -he evidence for the jury. A judge is more competent to evaluate or in terpret testimony than is the average juror. The judge knows all the lit- ;le tricks which impress junes and is less liable to undue persuasion or amotional responses than most ju rors. The jury must decide, of course, out the jury would be greatly aided oy the advice of the judge. Our plan ties a judge hand and foot, gag ging him, too, and lets him listen to vhat is going on. One should speak well of the dead; that is a custom of our people, long oonored in the breach, though pious- y acknowledged. But the obligation of paramount importance is to bury the dead decently. The New Deal is no more. On high authority we are told that, though under a different name the rose smells just as sweet— or some malodorous substance as surely pollutes the air. If the New Deal is dead—and some of us suspected that quite a while ago—are the New Dealers still hang ing on to their jobs? Are the jpbs atill in existence; is the Federal pay roll still encumbered with the breth ren who, like the poet, gave to “airy nothing a local habitation and a name”? Are there no more projects, no more grave yards to sweep; no more model villages to build, where people don’t want to live; no more pigs to drown; no more cows to tour the country; no more cotton to plow un der; no more bright, fluent talkers to talk themselves—and us—into com plete mystification? No more? Nary one? By the great horn-spoon, it is beyond belief. And shall we revive this brain child of fertile genius? Are we not ready to feed the world Shall we not reorganize the Nations, giving them a sort of New Deal democracy' ? Shall we fold our hands and let humanity get along as of old? As it did since the days following Noah? Really, now, shall we not boost every man’s income from China to Kamchatka ? “Quoth the raven, Nevermore.” Some time ago I referred to the decision of our South Carolina Pub lic Service Commission in agreeing to an increase of Railway rates for passenger service. The Rr.il Roads are having more traffic or patronage than they can handle. It is a ridicu lous thing that the passenger fares should be low when the Rail Roads were starving to death, but high when the Rail Roads are prospering. It is refreshing to observe that Ken tucky and Alabama refused to follow the “Me-too” policy of South Caro lina. They refused to allow the in crease and maintained the rate of .0165 or 1.65 cents per mile. An Examiner of the Interstate Com merce Commission advises the Com mission to throw out the petition. He finds that “higher intra-state rates had not been shown to be necessary either to aid in the effective prosecu tion of the-war, or to correct gross inequalities”. By a strange course of reasoning our Public Service Commision re duces power rates (one utility) and increases passenger fares (another utility). True enough that these utilities are not exactly the same but it is equally true that both utili- ies are today enjoying more public support than ever before. Standing then, on an equal footing, one is granted an increase and the other is reduced. Just how that conclusion was reached is not entirely clear or convincing.
