Tho shindy ceased in August. and the con-
gressional campaign began month later.
Then the President caught 1t. Men who
had pressed request after reques. upon him
for appointments for friends and had OBJ
tanned them now went on the stump and de-
n0unced the system by which appointments
had been made They criticised the con-
duct of the war although success had been

CT TORI under
military control the President was invested
with too much power. The 81 uation was
nenacfng to the safety of the government.
The appeal to the country this line
failed. The people saw the unfairness and
downright dishonesty of 1t and stood by the
President. Aud again last year the peop,e
refused support to those who were seeking
TO punish the President for executing the
mandate OF public sentiment.
The effort to make partisan oapi al out of
his latest phase Of the Cuban question is as
unworthy as were the efforts of 1898 and
1900 which were in part directed at earlier
phases of that question. The President
cannot be put in hole without the country
following him there. All hands should
face the music, and keep step to the ma
tional anthem. 1t Is for Congress to say
when and upon what conditions American
control in Cuba shall cease; and the Cuban
constitution must be the text for its discus
zion and the basis of Its action Everybody
understands that the American Congress
cannot formally amend the Cuban consti.u-
ton. But there is no escape from the con-
clusior that Congress must express self In
some definite way on the subject of Amer
tcar relations with Cuba prior TO American
withdrawal from the island and the es-
s,I,r t,la C,,Io

ing framed.

ing great hardship and entailing heavy
pecuniary loss upon them; and
Whereas, BY reason Of the long and
costly litigation in the past, and that
likely to ensue in the future, that part
Of our city has been greatly neglected
by not having the streets graded, side

Whereas, If patent should issue to

HAS JURISDICTION.
Judge Rudkin Holds that City Council Can
Designate Police Justice.

In the habeas corpus case before Judge
Rudkin last Friday afternoon it was de.
cided that Police Justice Lince has juris-
diction in the cases that come up before
him. While this decision is not con-
sidered test of the law it is the only
logical one that could be rendered under
the conditions governing the bringing OF
the action.
The proceedings was the result of a
fine imposed by Police Justice Lince
upon Guy Mccormick who was charged
with violating city ordinance. The
fine was resisted by attacking the juris-
diction of the Justice, who had been APP
pointed by the council to fill the place.
1t was commended by the defendants that
under the constitution council can only
appoint regularly elected justice OF the
peace to fill the office. Mr.. Lince is not
justice Of the peace, hence they con-
tend he has no power to convict and
fine prisoners in the police court.
In giving his decision Judge Rudkin
held that under a habeas corpus pro.
ceeding the jurisdiction of the police
Judge could not be attacked, or, tech
nically, they could not question his pow
ers in collateral way. To reach him
direct action must be brought through
the district attorney.
The Judge was asked for an opinion on
the right OF the city council to appoint a
police justice other than regular elect
ed justice Of the peace. He holds that
council has full power to designate who
shall fill this office. Article V, section
one. OF the constitution says: "The ju-
dicial power of the state shall be rested
in supreme court, superior courts,
justices of the peace and such inferior
courts as the legislature may provide"
In section ten it is provided that JUS
tees of the peace may be made police
justices in incorporated cities and
towns" AS the city council has been
delegated by the legislature to appoint
certain officers, such as city marshal,
street commissioners. police justice. etc.,
it would seem to have the right to say
whom it shall appoint as police justice.
The "may" in the above quotation
leaves the selection optional with coun-
Gil. Judge Rudkin holds that council
has right to designate the police JUS
tice under the powers conferred upon it
by the legislature.

THE DISPUTED TRACT.
Council Resolution Thar viii Quiet Title to the
Land.

The following resolution was brought
up for consideration of the council at its
meeting two weeks ago, but definite ac-
ton was deferred till the members of
that body could become better posted
on its contents and its possible effect on
the interests Of property owners in the
disputed district. 1t was read before
the council at its meeting last night and
was adopted. This will settle and quiet
the long-drawn-out controversy over the
tract in question, which has been hang

seventeen years ago.

School Law Opinions.

Attorney General Stratton, in an
opinion filed at Olympia last week, de-
clares the law granting renewal Of
first or second grade teachers certificates
is capable of two constructions. He is
unable to arrive at definite conclusion
as to whether the law intends to grant
only one renewal without examination
or an indefinite number where the hol-
der has taught specified term. He is
inclined to take the former view as to
first and second grades, but that state
certificates may be renewed from time to
time. The question is said to affect a
large number of teachers who have been
securing more than one renewal of certi-
ticates without submitting to further ex-
aminations. The attorney general has
filed an opinion to the effect that one
person cannot hold the positions OF
county superintendent of schools and
clerk of the school district, or clerk and
teacher in the district. Any one at
tempting to do either Of these things can
hold only the position that is sub facto,
and vacates the other.
