"A Judge on Common CiUilffY-
Judges are supposed to know the
law better than laymen. When a New
Jersey vice chancellor says from the
bench that common civility is the
law OF the land" common people, un-
learned in the laws, will not venture
to take issue with him, but they will
express their regret that the law of
the land is not enforced. There is often
painful lack of the cheapest kind of
civility in public offices, at bargain
counters, and on street cars. The vic
tins do not seem to have that legal re-
dress which they expect where the law
OF the land has been violated
The vice chancellor went on to de-
fine common civility,' saying that
''one person has no right to speak to
another person unless he first gets his
consent" People who are bubbling
over with questions or views and who
wish to open conversation with stran-
gers will please bear this in mind.

Final Act of Gov. Thomas.
The last official act of Charles S.
Thomas, who retired as Governor of Col
orado, was to grant a parole to Alfred
Packer. The release of the famous pris-
oner was the result of efforts urged in
his behalf for two years. Packer has
been in prison over seventeen years. He
was sentenced to a 40-year term in 1883.
A special writer, who conducted the cam
palgn in favor of the prisoners release,
took the executive order granting Packer
his libertys to the penitentiary. The at
tempted assassination Of III. H. Tammen
End f. G. Bonfls of the Denver Post by

the murder of party of FIVE prospectors
in the wilds Of Colorado. He admitted
that he killed one of the men, who, he
said, was insane and had assaulted him
after numbering the other four with a

The majority of the passengers are bound

the rich Chestochena diggings by way Of
Valdes. The Nome contingent numbers
ten, some of whom will go via Katmai,
the others by Hanna Bay. Many of the
