A Wonderfully Constructed Piece Of

and Answers

The sextuplet that has arrived at Santa
Monica for the use of the Stcarns record
team is the first machine larger than a
quad ever ridden west of Chicago. Such a
marvel of mechanism is worthy of detailed
description, for in many ways it is radi-
cal departure from the ordinary large BIZ
cycle frame, its length calling for great
strength and yet reduction of weight as far
as is consistent with the necessary strength.
Its measurements may be sum med up as

A local morning paper broke out the

that"a bust of Garibaldi would be inaugu-

Now, it is sometimes said that a 'bust is

CHARGES AGAINST THE JUDICIARY.
1HE LEADER has received a NUN Der
of letters containing charges against
Associate Justice John II Burford, Of

come from both Demo, rats and Rcpub-
licaus. the former predominBting, aud
the request is made that the charges
be printed iu this paper, IN order that

mitted by horde Of soreheads OF ali
parties in the territory who, regard
less OF the territory's Industrial worth
and welfare, have increasingly plug
ged men now in office-simply be-
cause they are in office. The practice
Of this pernicious evil, peculiar to Ok
lahoma, has been the theme of several
articles in this paper Of late, aud THE
LEADER would certainly stand in a
queer, as we'll as its own, light were ii
to advocate and encourage the prac-
tice after condemning Il so vigor-
ously.
Moreover, THE LEADER takes no
stock in the charges preferred against
Judge Burford We believe they al c
filled, for the most part, with jejune
rot. Although a Republican official
and a holdover Judge Burford, like
his associates on the supreme bench,
has undoubtedly conducted his
judicial affairs capably and faithfully,
and in our opinion, honestly. Like
the other judges, he has made enemies
OF some narrow.minded people, who,
perhaps, have taken an unfavorable
/ decision in their respective cases as q
personal or political thrust. THE LEA
DER believes Judge Burford is high.
minded; that he is an impartial, bright
and painstaking jurist there is no
doubt Why the character of an Off
cial should bo besmirched and odium
cast on his name by the publication OF
unwarranted charges, is beyond hu.
man conception, and results in prob
lem which is invariably solved the
wrong way by people not acquainted
with the territory's socia, and political
condition. The LEADER will have
nothing to do with the charges against
Judge Burford. II he is guilty Of mis-
conduct in office let the department o.
justice investigate his case and sub
stantiate the charges, then censur'
will be IN order. But the mere print
ing Of accusations against an officia
on the eve Of his departure from office
simply to stain his ermine, is grossly
uncharitable and impolitic and can re
suit in no political or commercial
profit Therefore The LEADER begs tC
.c excused without thanks.
