+ ihaaR THE STAR—WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1909. , BROWN, J. P.-WHO HE iS. Why do law breakers haled before Justice Brown always seck a change of venue? The that answer only asks the next question answer is obvious Because they fear him But him ? Justice Brown is not a fanatic; he is not a judicial tyrant, inflicting severe penalties with malignant delight, in the exuber On the contrary, he impresses one as ance of his authority, being a mild human and altogether common sort of a man, wise in the ways of the world, and possessing that charity which such wisdom brings. He does not set himself up in a shrine of immaculate sanctity, or hold himself as a cold in tellectual being, without heart or emotions. Rather he is companionable, talkative, showing all the little foibles, vani- ties and imperfections that make human beings tolerable. Yet every fear-driven law breaker unhesitatingly makes affidavit of prejudice when summoned into Justice Brown's Prejudice has a wide meaning in the application of Brown of being court. the law, for no one ever accused prejudiced in the ordinary sense of the term; no one ever ac cused him of dishonesty in any phase As a matter of fact, Justice Brown's prejudice begins after the defendant ‘has been found guilty. He is prejudiced against a criminal, a wilful law breaker of any kind, to the full extent of the law. To one conscious of guilt and confident of con viction, this indeed must be a forbidding prejudice, and a good quick reason for affidavits. But it has no terrors for innocence. Justice Brown came up clear from the bottom, and-—more important—isn't ashamed of it He had to shine shoes for a living when he was a boy, and grew up to be a barber while he was studying nights to make good.

Just now, the nations see In Mex jleo evidenc of the awakening of the people to the fact that their constitution promives to them many things that the “benevolent deapot- jiam' of Ding does not give them; Jevidences that the people are pre- paring to take those things, And | as the world watches the people ft | is Inevitable that the center of vis jon will be General Bernardo Reyes. General Reyes is being closely watched by Diaz and Corral, the man whom Diaz has chosen to auc coed him as dictator, The govern ment doesn't dare arrest Reyes. Reyes, himself, denios he is a can didate for the vice preaidency, but that, of course, is a polite fiction tendered the government, which the government understands. The fact is, that clubs of “Rey-) istas” are being formed al) over) Mexico.
