AMERICAS GREAT DESTINY.

Seattle. July 8. l&S.
To the Editor: While every one is talk

duce iron and steel at the lowest cost Will
control and dominate the commerce of the
world s an assertion that has passed
into a proverb. 1t seems certain that the
United States is fast approaching that
place. These are not idle boasts. but are
from no less an authority than the report
of the British foreign office, just pub

When the iron mines of our own state
are developed sufficiently to find the chan

Even now the new import and export

so far as Great Britain is concerned.
the most disturbing feature of the Japa-

Great Britain were only ES3e. ass, or per

Substantial Justice.

Sioux City. Ia, Journal.
A few lawyers were sitting in one of the
city restaurants a few days ago, eating
lunch and discussing different subjects,
when one OF them told the following story:
This occurred some years ago in the Of
fee of a former justice of the peace. An
attorney, who has since left Sioux City,
had been engaged to defend man for the
crime OF petty larceny. The lawyer knew
that the case against his clent was pref
Hon in his den. AS he entered the room he
told the justice of the peace the name of
his client, and added that he did not think
there was any evidence to convict. At the
same time he slipped so gold piece in
the hand of the justice. and gave him
knowing wink. The court said nothing.
but pulling open the cash drawer, slipped
the money In. The case went to trial and
after the evidence had all been introduced
there appeared to be no question OF the
guilt OF the defendant. But his counsel
was confident. thinking the gold piece had
done the work. The court then summed
up the case, and, to the establishment OF
the DEFENDANTS counsel. said:
'"The court finds the defendant guilty as
charged in the information, and fines him
500. of which amount so has been paid
The defendant will be committed TO the
county Jail until the remainder Is paid
into this court"
Nothing more was said, and the justice
settled back in his chair. satisfied that the
laws OF the state had been upheld and
