Which leads me, inevitably, to the conclusion that the hardest work I have ever done has been dodging responsibilities to take on odd jobs for the alleged sheer joy of accomplishment. 1 wonder why the world declines to let an old'man rest in peace.

Magee, editor of the Albuquerque Tribune, fear- less critic and foe of the republican machine. Now he has been sentenced by Judge David J. Leahy to serve a year in the penitentiary at hard labor and his paper fined a total of $4,050. This under contempt-of-court charges. Previously he had been sentenced 18 months for libeling a supreme court judge. Magee is a democrat, the judges who are cru- cifying him are republicans. The jury which tried him in the first case was composed of 12 Mexican-Americans, all repub- licans, and totally unable even to read the al- leged libelous statement on which they based a determination to take from Magee his liberty! The Magee case has all the ear-marks of a frame-up, whose purpose it is to railroad a po- litical opponent and victim to the penitentiary, regardless of rules, dignity or decency. More than that, it is a glaring illustration of the pitiful fact that some courts lend themselves easily and flagrantly to evil methods and shame- ful abuses of power—that they invite contempt. AGEE has been fighting the New Mexico political ring, which largely exists in that state thru manipulation of “greaser” voters. He charged that public funds had been mishandled by the clerk of the supreme court, and declared: “We wish to direct the attention of Judge Botts and Judge Bratton, of the supreme court, to what has gone on in their court. We do not suggest anything to Judge Parker. grown too accustomed to old methods to see any- thing wrong in what happened.” For this sentence he was found guilty of crim- inal libel by Judge Leahy, member of the politi- cal faction the editor was fighting, and friend of Judge Parker. For this “crime” he must serve 18 months at hard labor, the court ruled. During the progress of the trial, Editor Magee appealed to the people of New Mexico against the methods used to convict him—such enlight- ened methods as tearing the references to libel from his law books, refusing him sufficient time to get new books, trying him before jurors who couldn't read and write English. Because of those protests, he was cited on 15 charges of contempt of court. And now he has been pronounced guilty on four of these citations before the same judge who handed down the previous sentence and against whom his charges of an unfair trial were made, and given the new sentence. He was tried without benefit of jury. He was tried by the judge who caused the contempt citations, who showed his attitude in the previous trial, and who, in passing sentence, made so bitter an attack on the editor that his malice was uncon- cealed, Truth of the charges was no issue in the con- tempt trial—for truth plays little part in con- tempt law. Editor Magee, in short, was convict- ed in advance and had a mock hearing before one man, who acted as judge, jury and prose- cutor. ACH day finds some new extension, some new aggression, in the direction of greater summary powers for the judiciary. Each new case edges a step further along than the last one. To Editor Magee, on the firing line down in New Mexico, The Star sends a message of good cheer and encouragement. Temporarily he car- ries the cross, and holds it high; temporarily his sector become the active one in America’s grow- ing battle to keep the judiciary from wresting away the people’s privileges and guarantees. Citizens who love liberty and value their con- stitutional rights should watch with deep con- cern the Progress of! his ‘fight.
