and save money.
The adjourned ease of Armstrong Dean came up, for hearing be
fore Magistrate "Whimster on Monday afternoon. Sherwood Herchmer appeared to proseccute, and "W. R.'Ross defended. Sherwood
Herchmer asked that all papers, and books affecting the company
since the 17th day of Ap'riHast be produced. • W. R. Ross said that
the hooks were not in their possession; a^there was a petition for the
winding up of the Globe,company, and the books were in the hands
of the official receiver. The. first Witness sworn, was J. L. Gates,
who deposed that he saw,the accused with Mr. P. J. Watson at the
King Edward Hotel office*on the- 17th day of April last. Mr. Watson
introduced Mr. Dean as President of the Globe Fire Insurance Company, and said he"had a proposition to lay before him that would interest him. '..-He (Dean) had organized-a fire insurance company.and
•Was selling stock. Gates said he could not entertain the proposal
then as he had* nofmoney to spare. 7 Dean outlined his company to
him, and said he had a pretty strong company, arid, that three-fifths,
of the1 whole fire 'insurance had been re-written (that is tp say. that
when a policy is written up by our agent in Fernie three-fifths- of
that policy is carried by a London/Eng;, office.)' ■ On the strength
of, the.re-insurance he jiook twenty shares of stock.' ' He paid Dean,
a cheque for $75.00, find gave a note for the balance, $75 payable in
or 90 days,.the\whole(amount being a-call,of 15 per cent.. He
would hot have taken the shares had- not the statement been made
thafthree-'fi^ . „ ■■'-■y'■■■-,
Cross-examined.by W. R; Ross,: Watson "was present when-Dean
outlined the proposition to him; .Watson took part in the conversation. He had the'proposition'to.lay. before him that would interest
him. 'W. R)Rdss asked if the note for $75,was'not made payable to
F. J. Watson, but; he (Gates); did not think so. .He was sure it'was
made payable.to the,.GlobV.Fire';Insurance,.Company, bu^
he thought,the,hpte was made;paybale.to ;F.,J.-.Watson. -Mr., Dean
also, spoke of, the experience-he had.had .with insurance '.companies.
He-believed he-mentioned the'Dominiorii Company.'. .'He also said
1 that ;he'thought hejwpuld conduct business cheaper,than .other com-
.panies. 7Fofrinitroce"if ~firin)ccurreTi^
would deal with it*;to, save the expenses of-an* adjuster-coming in.
Dean mentioned about .the stock,being $250,000.'. Mr. Wa'tsoh-* had
.also spoken>tohiin,6f 'the"experien"ce Mr.'Dean had.**-'"'■• ■"?■'*■ '^- -7?1;'V;-"'

some time. Dean was in Fernie,last spring in the month of - April.
He was agent for the Globe Fire Insurance'-company, and**went
around, with-Mr. Dean, to-various people in town'for.'the,purpose'of,

know anything of this. - W. R. Ross objected to this question'heing
put., Ross also objected to the question being put as to, the paid-up
capital of the company, but Watson could not remember Dean saying
anything about this.
Cross-examined by W. R; Ross: He could not say whether thc
dates Mr. Gates fixed wero correct or hot. The cheque was only'in
part payment, the balance was made by note. He could not, swear
•.that the note was. mado pay ablo to the Globo Firo Insurance Company; it might have been made payable to himself (Watson.) tITo
could safely swear to tho statements made by Dean regarding,the
re-insurance. . He admitted discounting the note in local bank hero,
thc proceeds being sent to Rogina, ; Some of tho topics discussed by
Mr. Dean with Gates.wore.the,future prospects,of the city, the firo
•protection of the city. Ho stated that on account of the re-iiiHuranco
his. company, could carry, larger features of .insurance. AH ho .kjie'w
about re-insurance.was what Dean told him. lie had not mucfi ox-
poriencty.with'regard to the re-insurance methods.' ./Alio know ub<mt

statements made tn Gate* wore correct,.- Asked by Ross whethor ho
doubted thp;'yuli.dity ol tho ro.inBurAhco contract, he said ho thought
thoro was\a contract-in taxititeneo. His (Watson's) idea war'that
only large inBuWoolpolicicii would bo re-written. Asked \l ho
thought whether an iHolatcd dwelling liouso should be re<iiisurod for .
policy of $500, ho thought not; If a company gavo away three-fifths
of its business its profits would be reduced, It was not his iilea'that
a company would ho-compelled to re-insure Uiree-fifths of its business, Ho would cqriiiirier U reasonable protection if a larger insurance was covered, lie admitted that he may have madu the m-Her-
tion to Gates, that ,three-f if ths "wore" covered.. Asked if he would

WHICH DO YOU WANT?
.'•ij^The municipal issue at .present rests between a wide open town" and a decent town. The
. business men who,are,allowing their names to >bc
piaced on the list of candidates should be aware of
(Jie clique they' are catering to—the saloon men.
Are the saloon men to-rim the town?- -AVe'trust
not, for the good of the people. Mr. Eckstein was
informed that if he intended to close the -saloons on
Sundays, and did,not allow gambling; that,the.saloon-men would'have to oppose him; as they, wanted
' an open town. They considered gambling a good
.thingbecause.it brought.money to the town. ' We
wonder if the saloon men ■ think it right
that, gambling should "go "on in-their premises,
and men lose their last cent, while-their wives and
families go." hungry and the store bills are left unpaid. Think it over, citizens, and turn down
these saloon men. It is only two or three of the
saloon keepers-who wish this state of affairs. Some
of the better minded men have openly expressed
tlie sentiemnt that they would like to run a decent
house, and allow no gambling, and close up at 11
every ,night, and keep closed on Sunday. They
■ assert that they would feel much better, make
more money and have the respect of the public.
The other few want an open town where they can
run things to suit themselves, and after getting a
man's last cent kick him out to do the best he can.
. To gain this end they will stop at practically nothing. So do "not be coerced into their snare.
Stand for a decent city and down this immoral element.
- It is a coincidence to say the least that the day
Mr. Eckstein refused to become a puppet to
a "few" saloon men, a requisition was started to
r^bring-out-an-opppnentr-and-the-price-of- support
offered Mr. Eckstein was a.wide open.town, and
more especially free scope for. gambling.,
DO THE OPPONENTS OF THE CITIZENS*
TICKET KNOW THE CLASS THEY ARE CATERING TO?, IF;THEY DO THEY CANNOT
HAVE THE'INTEREST OF THE PUBLIC AT
HEART., THEY WILL BE TOOLS OF THE
SALOON KEEPERS.
, ". It is to be a fight for. a decent city or,for a
' wide open town. -Which do. you want..
large employers of labor to defy the laws of supply and demand and,maintain wages, "Wages,
howeveivare coming down now, and may be reduced further." . ;
"They alsb serve'who meekly stand and wait."
The five,,idle, starving,'workless workers -who
stand waiting in the hope that some ofthe fifteen
may,drop*.oiit .of .the race, serve to "'increase the
efficiency" of those at work "with the result that
the dollar buys a dollar's worth of work and a little more."' ,
'.' '.'Before election",there was the possibility that
tlie workers might vote against tlie system' "that
maintained, fifteen'jobs for twenty Vien," 'and
.thereby '.feouverted' the superfluous five' into 'lashes
with--wliich' to Scourge the working fifteen to sup:
orhuman exertion?.' The result of the "election
showed that artnajority of the-working class liked
this sort of thh\g. . ,-..--
-'''• Now that the' election is over there are no long-
el*! any " 'political reasons why the administration
should ask tl^large employers of labor to main-1
tain wages. )JJei this sentence sink into the minds
of those.'who,v.oted for'"Taft and prosperity," or
i'or,"Bryan nikV something right now.'' 7 " ''"
; They are getting what they voted.for.; - * •''■■
' The .Wall Street Journal tells them what'it'is
they^ voted for^and what they will'get. " It can "afford to do it,now. " .Before election the workers
were told'that jirosperity was-' coming, ttiat .wages
were going, up and that employment wpuld' ' be
plenty. ' ■' 7,7 , " ' ? "'■'' • ' . .7

THE MAN OUT OF WORK
IGNORANCE IS BLISS,
The Free Press last week in their editorial column mado some useless, sneering remarks / about
the ' Citizens' League," calling it "the purilc offspring of the Trades and Labor Council," and ending their' ignorant hnrranguo by dubbing the Citizens' League as a joke., ■ • .•; ,, : ■
Of course when you refer back to the past of
the Free Press you must immediately come to the
conclusion that they must needs oppose anything
that is brought forward by tlie unions of the eity
in nny way.. . 7,
It is nearly nhvnyfl the same witli any stand
taken for the moral betterment of tho city. Tlie
Free Press generally oppoRCK it. l Why., Tlie old
saying "Birds of a Feather" perhapn mny answer
the query.
. But why tho Free Press should come out in opposition to the,Trades nnd Labor Council when
tlmt body is doing the host it can to uplift the
niornlH of the eity, and trying to. get somo interest
taken in mimioipn. nffnirs, so as to do nway with
the former, unbusinesslike methods, is more thnn
wc can fathom. Tho fact that tho mooting mallei!
for Thursday niffht hnd to bo postponed on account of noiMittendnnee, is no proof thnt tlio
League is n joke, and wo predict thnt tho Lenvjuo
will bo a real live issue in the coming canipaivn.
Ifowi'ver, we prosumo that the stand wiih taken
"m> tlmt lho rocord of opposition to anything mi'iot*
could be uphold.

THOSE WHO ALSO SERVE. .
"England," says a recent report,'"is facing
the most serious condition of unemployment in her
history. Unless relief is'provided oii an .unprecedented scale, bread riots may be expected."-.
Intermittently for more than- forty years the
English government has been dealing witli this
subject in various acute phases.. During the Civil
"War, when.the cotton famiue caused great industrial, success in,Lancashire, 1,200,000 pounds in
money • was appropriated for special relief work,
and some 30,000 persons derived support from the
government. , After the Boer War, unemployment
was recognized as one of the standing problemstof
government, ' *■
In 1904 the Labor department of the Board of
Trade investigated 2,000 families? fairly representative of a large .working, class, and found the average family income to be $8.96, while the cost of
food (three children on an'average living at home
was $5.47) not .including liquor and tobacco. That
after_paying the rent and buying, some clothes;
leaves a very wide margin for. a rainy day! ■■ „
In every industrial country, even tlie" United
States,* there is rarely a time when some men cannot find work. Any shock to the industrial organization multiplies their number rapidly. Unemployment, in.fact—meaning involuntary .idleness of men willing and able to'work—is, in some
degree, a pretty constant.factor. Some countries
attempt to deal with it by supporting government
employment agencies, ln Germany and Swtoer-'
land societies write insurance against unemployment. '•?., 7 " ■ . _ ', .
The ancient notion—faintly preserved in cartoons and stock newspaper jokes—that the man out.
of work was necessarily a."sturdy beggar,", and a
"rogue'■'-■-disappears under scientific ' investigat-
ion. •■•'--.,..
What to do -jvith him is always a snd and some-"
times a perplexing problem,' ■■■. * ,-.*. ,. -, .-, ..: .,
To the Electors of Fernie:..;' ,;.',.■'
Ladies nnd Gentlemen: At the., solicitation of very •■ many of the ratepayers of all classes, I have decided to
allow my-name to be. placed in nomination for the Mayoralty. _
Let me make it plain, that I am not
nor shall I be, subjective to any faction _or special.Interests. ...lavish to
be free so that I may be able to discuss and judge matters upon their
merits.
One thing I -shall -most", certainly
support is the eriforcemenfpf; law and
qrder: In my opinion that it is a duty
: which a mayor cannot conscientiously
escape.". " ' ' "■"' '■"'
I continue to favor the acquisition
of the water and electric light, plants,
subject to an equitable."arrangement
to be. submitted to a , vote of the
electors. I,also am entirely'convinced
that' these'' two ■ matters*,' 'should :be
dealt "with at once. - hv" ■"./},. •-,•; ■• v
1 The pubile schools should^be.opened*-as.-soon as. possible,, and, arrangements .made whereby temporary' quarters may lie obtained until'the school
house is ready. • '■ '•■>' . • < -'
If 'elected', T shall use ail my influence towards having- quarterly audits
of,th'e civic.accounts.made and published so that.vwe may know' where
we are at. , ,. ■ ' ''' ' "*
Expenditure must be- kept within
revenue'. The law requires that.,...
Needed' improvements, especially
sidewalks,, must-receive the early, attention of, the Council.
I am, opposed to lax methods of running tlie 'city offices and believe that
reasonable' office hours should.. be
faithfully kept'.' •..-,,.':.
I think that,the city limits should
be extended.in a,northerly direction.
I favor legislation which will ensure
careful and economic administration
of the Relief fund. The people should,'
in my' judgment, be allowed to • elect
commissioners to look' after this
fund. .... 7 ,- •■
lam opposed to tbe system of opening'the door to law breakers and
licensing them.-
I .refuse to give private pledges to
any one. My stand will be made'public. If I cannot.without entering into a -private -agreement,- concerning
private or, special interests, get elected, then I prefer defeat, with honor
to the dishonor of being subject to a
!*•
faction. - ..
v.Wheh I address the electors as I1 intend doing,-I shall deal ■ more < fully,
with thejj above matters, as-well as
others, including the necessary'' removal of temporary -buildings arid the
checking- of 1908 accounts. '=. .
. ' Yours faithfully,
over 10,000,000 persons in the-United States have dealings at-the.stores
of these societies. '" The centre of
ihe movement is in Manchester. " It
^requires no argument to demonstrate
what immense beriets this movement,
after every-deduction, confers on a
community. * ;,"
"Speaking, at a. large meeting in
Leeds, Yorkshire, .England, in November "of this years, Mr, Arthur Henderson, -M."P., said: "The co-operative
movement had succeeded because of
the value of its. fundamental principles,- which were those of' economy,
equity and. self-help. Moreover, its
ideals'aW'ere. high.-;. It .recognized for
:'all ■-* the'- right: lo iliv'a,' and .-endeavored
to place that right within the reach
of all. '- Its' methods of doing business

as if everything was bent upon going

made several mistakes iu taking down

her lip to keep theiii back. Then, in
the midBt of .her distress,, she saw

Now the girl dared not look up at

in her eyes, and her heart was beating fast. „ How cood he was — how
kind, and how far, far away from her

"Tell me," he went on, 'is anything worrying you? And if there is,
couldn't you let; me help?"
"I—I am quite happy, thank you,

"I have! no home." ...
"Poor child. You are so young to

Hilary's sake, lest some trouble should
be made with Lady. Lambart.*
"Not going!" the Countess cried

It was" strange laughter, and Elspeth
wondered at it, just as she had wondered at the expression of the woman's face. -

"My chauffeur, has had a slight accident, it seems," said Kenrith, as
the two cirls in motor veils and coats
appeared at the door. "He has hurt
his hand and can't drive," soT I am going to take you-myself: You needn t
be frightened. - On the whole I think
I- may say, without conceit, I m the
better driver of the two."
■■ He put the two girls together m
the tonneau of the oar, which was a
fine one of the latest type, 60-horse-
' power.' Having started the motor he
took his place in the chauffeur s seat.
and in another instant they were spinning ,awav-. down the long .winding
avenue which'led away frorn the castle and through the park. They had
not pone far when they came in sight
of Mr. Trowbridge ■ walking leisurely
toward the hotel. He looked up, saw
,the car, with Kenrith driving, and
quickly his eyes flashed over the other
occupants. Neither of the girls wore
veils heavy enough to disguise their
features; they both bowed, Lady Hilary rather coldly and mechanically.
Trowbridge snatched off his Panama.
'But seeing Lady Hilary in the car,
Instead of -smiling' in greeting, he
grew ghastly pale, and, turning shouted after the motor as it-flew by him.
, Elspeth caught the look of'horror
on his face, which reminded her of
the expression she had seen Countess
iRadepolskoi wear when told that she,
iElspeth, was going motoring in Mr.
'Kenrith's car. A chill-crept through
:her.veins, and she.wondered greatly;;
'!but\neither = she. nor her. two. companions heard' Trowbridge shobtmg.,

sped. on,, passing through the park
urates; and out into the public road.
"I thought of taking you to see
:the ruins of the old castle of Loch-
,rain," said. Kenrith over his shoulder "It will be a good spin, and
'there's a" little..inn close by where
thev will give us tea. Oxford and I
have boen there once,or twice.,
• The rirls answered that that would
be delightful, and Hilary began to
tell Elspeth somethine* of tho history
of the ruin thoy would •■Hco-an old
stronghold -destroyed' in tho, days of
■ Mary 'Stuart. But Elspoth scarcely
heard the story, which would have
!hold her interest at any other time.
: sho had looked forward intensely to
this afternoon's pleasure given lior
by 'Konrith, and enjoyed with him
so near her; but now that the ex-
porience had begun, it was spoiled
former by the strango thoughts which
would come Into hor head. Why had
the Countess looked so Btnrtled on
hoarlng that she was to bo in the
car? Why had sho tried to dissuado
her from going, and only .Masod her

is built of dead Hat, patent levelled steel blue finish-the kind that
stands all kinds of heat and never warps or cracks.
It's supplied -with the new Gomey- .
Oxford reversible grate, too.. The
grate with the interlocking teeth
that cut off the dead ashes, when
operated, and makes the fire respond quickly. No good coal drops
through it either, every particle is
burnt. That is one of this ranee s
fuel-saving features.
This grate can be removed and a
wood-burning , grate substituted
without moving a bolt or a screw.
Then, notice the extra large oven
•—splendid for baking day. And
the drop door forms a solid shell
for basting.
The fire linings can be removed
without disturbing the top—that ,
', means economical repairs. ,

ButCli^GruIsef Takes Venezuelan Guard Ship—Nota -
V Warlike
Williamptad,. Dec. 15.—The,: Dutch
cruiser Gelderland came into this port
this morning'' towing, the.- Venezuelan
coast guard;shlp--Alix, with tho Dutch
flag flying and'a Dutch crew on".boar;!.
The Gelderland captured-the Ali\ pff
Puerto; Cfibellb on Saturday. At that
time tiie Alex was lying close lirshorc
and notwiUistanding the ""threat that
the Venezuelan government had made
to fire on any Dutch warships- committing a hostile actT the Gelderland w-jut-
at,speed towards tho^uardshjp, pnd
sent ^an'officer of the guard in a
launch to seize her. ' This'they did
without'resistance' and no' shot came
from the land forts. ■•
The crew of the Alix "were put ou
shore and the Dutch officer and marines remained on board; tho Gelilerland'finally taking the Alix in tow and
steaming away with her prize.'
Tho* seizure of the Alix was in ac-
1 cordai'.ce of the plans of the Holland
government, when instructions, were
issued.to..the three.Dutch warships
now in.these.waters .to mnke a demonstration off tbo.coasl of Venezuela and
to, * capture auy' Venezuelan' ships 'of
war. and guard ships that 'they might,
iiiyl.'-'' The 'arrival of' th'e" Gelde'rland
at "Williamsl.au was greeted with unbounded'enthusiasm by those who saw
the 'cruiser approach, and the' entire
population were down to-the waters
edge "to -welcome 'lie., return of the
Gelilerland Rowing *lie."enemy's. ship as
though from a gr<>»t .conquest.
,.: . jNot* an Unfriendly Act.,
Naturally the people of Curacoa.who
have long been clamoring, for activity;
on the part of the,Dutch government,
are.greatly rejoiced ov.er this incident
that ilbllaiuV hits'at length begun act-'
ivo measures against Venezuela, but
the govern'or fqf ,Cuj*acoa; in explaining
., the1 incident This afternoon, had this
.to say: "The capture by our warships
of coast guards and war 'vessels is not
to be - considered as* unf rlendlyJagainst1
the Venezuelans'. It is merely a reprisal against Casings government —
which refuses to give satisfaction for
his unfriendly acts towards Holland.
The.seizure'of-these vesself.will make
it impossible for the'Venezuelan gov-
erainent'-to carry troops' or munitions
to and.frpm.the various ports. -, ,

The conference was privato but it

WORK AND PHYSIQUE
, There is a municipal lodging house
in Chicago largely filled with tramp-*,
In addition tp housing them an intelligent effort is made to get them into
regular industry. „A physician in attendance makes a careful examination
of each man who comes to the lodging
house, and last winter he tried to see
what connection could be ^ genuinely
established between pre-matuer labor
■and1 worn-out men.":- It is surprising to
flnd how many, of them are tired to
death .of monotonous labor and begin
to tramp in-order, to .get away from it,
'as,a"business"'ma'n''gbes'to the woods
because he is worn out by the stress
of business life. ■ - "
This inordinate desire to get away
from work seems to be connected with
the fact' that the men have started to
work.very early, before'they had.the
•physique to stand up to it, or „ the
mental vigor with which to overcome
its difficulties, or the moral' stamina
which-makes'a man- stick at his work

cannot demand'' any of these things
from a-growing boy. They are all
traits of tho adults. -A boy is naturally restless, his determination,easily
breaks down and he runs.away. At
least this seems to be true of many of
the mon who come to the lodging
house.
I recall a man who begun to work
in a textile mill quito below the present legal age in New England, and
who had worked hard for sixteen or
moro years, says Jano. Adams, ' in
■ Charities. '"Ho.told his tale with all
simplicity and as he made a motion
with his hand ho said: "I done that
for sixteen years." ' I give tho words
as ho gave them; "At last I was sick
In bed for two or threo weeks with the
fever and* when I crawled out I made
up my mind that I..would rather go tp
holi than go back to that mill." Who-
ther ho considered Chicago an equivalent for that I do not know but;ho
certainly tramped to Chicago and ho
had been tramping for four years. Ho
docs not slciil. Ilo works In ' tho
summer and wanders about tho rost
of tho yoar getting something to do
when ho can, but tho suggestion of a
factory throws him Into a panic and
ho quickly disappears from tho lodging houso, Tho physician has mado
a diagnosis of gonoral debility. Tho
man is not fit for steady work. Ho
has boon.whipped In tho battlo of lifo
and is spent proinaturoly bocauso ho,
bogan proinaturoly.
* What. dofiH this moan? That tho
young,man cannot stand up' to \hj>
grind of factory lifo; that'thoy brodlc

SHOTFIRING BY ELECTRICITY
The large, number of miners' lives
that are paying the penalty, of blasting
operations in our mines is now becoming „a subject that. Is exorcising • the
mind of many of our-thoughtful readers. Several shbtflrors wero killed and
three Injured in Illinois a few days
ago, Kansas and other states had an
equal quota, and. when, all added 'together, lt makes the question a serious one not bnlyfor tho o(wi)er bf'the
mine, but to tho. minor, it becomes
moro serious.
There aro differences of opinion'as
to what aro tho causos of.those fatal
blasts,1 bettor known to tho, miner as
"windy-shots."* but' whatever tho
cause,1 the results nro bocomlng awful
ln the destruction of human lifo nnd
tho damago to mining proporty, and as
boforo stated thoughtful rhon aro • now
wondering what dovlco, or devlcos can
bo adopted that will obvlato.tho.noc-

ln Illlnolc, If not moro, tho, shots* nvo

that thoro aro no shotflros killed In
this mine. , " ,,
Recently wo had tho privilege.ot
witnessing a tost of a dovlco of tho
same nature, that Is tho product of tho
Ingenuity of two coal minors and froni
tho test wo ontortaln a good opinion
of tho Invention nnd hopo to soo good
rosults If'ovor It Is given a trial;
Kixpunso In Installing a dovlco of
this kind Is tho first thing consldbrod,
but this should npvor bo allowed to
provent tho.adoption of nny system or
lnolhod of conducting mining operations that nro conciliated to savo,tho
llfu of tho minor.
IkmldcB, wo are Informed' that In
tlio'caso, of tho Invention roforrod to
tho cost of Installation and operation
Is comparatively slight In comparison
In thn good results It will accomplish,
Bo thnt, as It may, cost high or cost

contains features that will not fail to
please all; and there is a wide range
to choose^from, both vocal'and Instrumental. Some1 to be specially mentioned are'the soprano'solos of Miss Phyl-.

INU.S.
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE. DEALS
«-,Wl,TH QUESTION OF INTER--
' * - EST TO UNIONS.
Government by Injunction figured
largely as an issue in - the ' recent
American campaign. The following is
Roosevelt's reference to it in his message to Congress:
"I most earnestly urge upon congress the duty of increasing the totally, inadequate salaries now given,.to
our.judges. On the whole there Ib 'nobody of our public servants w,ho do-jis
valuable worlk, nor whose moneyed re{
ward is so inadequately compared'to
their work. Beginning; with the Sup:
reme court the judges should have
their salaries doubled. , *,v. *
"It is earnestly to be.jileslred that
somo method should be-'devlsed for do-

now obtain in the administration of
justice, and which operate.'.with'pe-

ther. small means, and favorthe very
criminals whom it is most- deVirahle
to punish. These long-delays in .the'
final decisions of case's make.i'h'Uie
aggregate a crying evil and a remedy
should be devised; Much of this intolerable delay is due to improper regard paid to technicalities, which are
more hindrance to justice. vIn somo
noted recent cases this over regard
for'technicalities has resulted in . a
striking denial of justice and flagrant
wrong to the body politic.
"At the last7 elections' certain lead-
ers',6f organized labor made a, violent
and sweeping attack upon the,entire
judiciary of the. country, an . attack
* couched iri such terms as' tb include
the most upright, honest and broad-
minded judges, no less than those of
narrower minds - and more restricted
outlook. It was the kind of attack
"admirably fitted to prevent any sue
cessful attempt to', reform abuses of
the- judiciary, -because it gave the
champions of. the unjust judge their
eagerly 'desired opportunity to shift
their ground into a championship of
just judges who were unjustly assailed. Last year before the house com-
, mittee , on the judiciary, these same

As a- general proposition, the most

coin, off a human hand. Why ^ this
happens to be true wlll.be less.understood after the render has tried it,himself. ;! One might' almost say that a
