...your magazine undertook to publish a statement of the impeachment effort made against me in this state (TIME, April 8). It is almost unbelievable that you would have been guilty of propagating the fraudulent misrepresentations of fact, and refusing to mention the abandonment of such various and sundry accusations even by those making them. For instance, you published to the world my picture, as though I had undertaken to hire some scoundrel to kill a member of the State Legislature; and when, after hearing no testimony except that of the witnesses against me- even the anti-Long leaders themselves...

...grant of supreme executive power to President Emilio Portes Gil in revising the criminal code may surely appear to most as a drastic reform. Considering the national peculiarities of the country, however, any discussion of the particular measures should prove of interest and even of value. The substitution of expert alienists in place of a jury system has at least the ultramodern touch; the alleviation of fines to suit the individual income of the prisoner though departing from the stern unswerving rigors of the usual courts of justice, seems in line with proper social ethics; whereas the last important item...
