general denunciation without names) OF
judges for accepting passes, put gen
eral head on IL. 1t was not until the edi-
ton was printed that it was noticed that
Joseph G. Waters had singled out two Of
the supreme court judges by name. This
explanation il due to Judges Horton and
Johnston, whom tho JOURNAL desires to
set right in this matter.
The headlines were Intended for gen
eraI application, not for direct charges Of
venality against any members Of the su-
preme court
To return to the point in question, the
influence Of taking passes may be a seri-
GUS matterin any court. It all depends
upon the 4 exibility of the conscience Of
the judge who accepts the pass.
The taking Of pass By a judge on the
bench il a more serious offense than the
acceptance OF a pass by any other public
Official The court Is the sacred rspOsi-
tory of justice. How safe can a litigant
against railroad corporation feel when
he knows that that corporation has
placed several hundred dollars lin passes }
in the hands Of the judge who is to hear
his case. The euormity Of the of ense is
easily perceived by the dullest man.
No self respecting j Judge ought to take
pass.
There are judges in Kansa who are
too honorable to accept them; then again
there are judges who are not.

seekers AS August draws on and gayety
is at its height preparations are begun
for the browning event Of the season,
the coaching parade, and professional
and amateur decorators are busy design
ing and creating the wonderfully pretty
coaches and floats that are to take part
with the hundred others that will burst
forth ia all their glory of color on the
day Of the parade, which usually occurs
in the third or last week Of the month.

house cries also, each being some rhym-

He Was Not Afraid.

At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, when
all the people living OH College avenue
were fast asleep, there was commotion
in one Of the beautiful residences along
that thoroughfare. It was the home Of
a merchant, and the commotion broke
loose in the sleeping apartment of him
self and wife. She started it. She
awakened suddenly and thought she
heard some ore trying to break in down
stairs. She shook her husband, and after
some time had elapsed succeeded in
making him realize the situation. They
both listened. There was some noise,
sure enough, and a cold SILVER that
would have been welcomed at any other
time crept down his spinal column and
even to his toes. He determined not tc
get scared, though his teeth were chat
teriug, so he announced that he would
60 down and investigate.
AREN'T you afraid, dear?'' nervously
asked his wife.
He took out his revolver, struck a
match, lighted lamp and then looked
at her in disgust.
Afraid Well, hardly. l never saw
the man yet was afraid of. Now, don &
make any noise, bnt come on. -
The little woman stared in astonigh-
ment. do you want me to go too?''
do 1 want you to go? Why. Of
course I do. You must go ahead and
carry the light so l can see to shoot. Do
you think 1 could hit burglar in the
dark? Hurry up, ca he'll be gone.
And that man made the little woman
90 ahead with the light, while he held
the revolver over her shoulder at full
cock They traversed the house from
garnet to cellar, finally found a stray
dog scratching az the back door and
came back to bed He sat up for an
hour telling her what he would have
done had there been a burglar there.
