 Robt. McBroom, member of the Globe Miners union, was taken from his home at night, away from wife and children aud forced to accompany one hundred and fifty members of the un- ion to- the public square, where a general discussion and public repri- mand followed, because McBroom had failed to pay his dues to the union lodge, has been. pronounced a disgrace ful affair, Not. only this but it has caused, Judge Davis, who opened court in. Globe last week. to take judicial no- tice of the, occurrence. In his charge to the grand, jury, Judge Davis re terred to the incident in the following language: ...-,...
 Tt is proper that I direct your at tention, to a recent occurrence upon your streets. and within the shadow of your temple, of, justice, which in wolves matter concerning the liberty of the ,citizen. and a possible infrac- tion,. of the penal statutes of the territory. I refer to the display of force and threatened violence towards an alleged member of the local miners union.
 Gentlemen, the founders of our re- public. builded a government upon the corner stone of liberty. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness were de clared to be the inalienable rights of all. The spirit and the letter of the constitution guarantee to the humblest citizen the highest degree of individual liberty; absolute equality before the law, and the equal protection of the deprecate the right of individuals to organize for any lawful purpose in the promotion of their mutual inter- ests and well being. Much which could not otherwise have been accom- plished for the good of humanity and the glory of this nation has been at tained through properly conducted or ganization. But when man, forget ting the reciprocal relations upon which the social fabric is constructed, confederate together for the purpose of tranpling under foot the primary rights of any citizen, they ignore the first principles of our government, violate the law of the land, and SOW the seeds of anarchy.
 The law must protect the citizen in his person and his property; must protect the weak against the strong the one against the many. want yol to look carefully into the facts of the occurrence to which I have alluded, and if you find that a statute of the territory has been violated, perform your duty fearlessly. and as becomes body which, to so great an extent, has the reputation and welfare of the community in its keeping" -
 Commenting on the above the Ari- zona Silver-Belt has this to say:
 Judge Davis, in the language above quoted has not only istructed the grand jury as to their duty in relation to a matter of the highest import to this community, but the sentiments he has expressed should have a salutary effect in correcting the grave error h. to which part of the people has fall en regardie the rights of an individual, and pointing out the responsibility of each and every citizen in the support of the law and the maintenance of a healthy public opinion SO essential to the peace and welfare of the community '''The person who errs through ig. norance of the laws is less to blame than he who, knowing his duty as a citizen. deliberately offends, or recre antly shirks responsibility by remain. ing silent when he Sees the law vio lated and the Individual or any num- Der Of the people intimidated There are. we are sorry to say. many in Globe men reputed to be good citizens. nor. or less influential and some Of them looked up to as moulders of pubBc opinion. who are woefblly lacking in moral courage. and whose example demor2iizes when it should elevate and strengthen public opinion 1s i
