THE LATE LEGISLATURE.

The Eighth Legislature has become a
memory. There are other memories
the recollectons of unredeemed pledges
disregarded prediction promises; brok-
en- covenants made with the people.
The people of the state of Washington
have memories, and in 1904 it will hap
pen that many a politician of the, at
present, dominant political party in this
state will discover that the voters have
very strong and vivid recollections of the
utter want of good faith shown by some
legislators during the late session at
Olympia. Representatives are elected
to carry out the will and wish of their
constituents under the law If, when
elected, they ignore the plain and ex.
pressed will and desires of those who
have placed them in office, break the
most solemn obligations and covenants,
then it becomes necessary to permanent.
ly retire them and select other and more
trusty public servants.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

YESTERDAY was st. Patrick's day. His
tory says there is no great character OF
whom we have any knowledge whose en-
tire personal history is shrouded in
deeper mystery than that of st. Patrick,
whose birthday is so generally celebrated
on the 18th of March, thought it is wholly
matter of conjecture that he was born
on that dav. A witty Irish clergyman
has written on this subject as follows:
ION the eighth dav OF March it was, some peo-
pie say,
That st. Patrick at midnight he first saw the
day,
While others declare twas the ninth he was
And twas all mistake between midnight and
morn.
And some blamed the baby and some blamed
the clock.
Till with all their disputing sure no one could

slow.

then Roman province, and the date of

his birth is generally thought to have
been about A. ID. 1896. His original
name was Succath, Patricins being the
Roman appellative by which he was
known, indicating that me came of a
patrician family. Captured by pirates
and taken to Ireland in his 10th year,
he was sold to petty chief, whom he
served as swineherd for six years, dur
ing which time he claims to have been
miraculously converted while tending
his flocks. Effecting his escape, he went
to France, according to some of his biog-
raphers-to England, according to 9TH
ers-and prepared himself for the priest
hood. OF the writings of St. Patrick but
two Latin manuscripts have been pre-
served-his Confession" and letter
addressed to Coroticus, Welsh chief
tain, who captured several of Patrick's
converts.
In his confession he tells us that he
was miraculously called of God in a
dream to the sacred mission in which he
was confirmed by Pope Celestine.
Returning to Ireland, he devoted his
life to the evangelization of her people
and is said to have founded 365 churches
and to have personally baptised $4,000
converts. The date of his death is as
signed to various widely sundered years,
some writer's placing it as early as ass
and others as late as 493.
Green grows the breast of the Irish
citizen once every year. And yesterday,
every breast in which throbs the undi-
luted Irish blood bore ribbon, sprig, or
perhaps bunch of shamrocks, sent by
a friend in Ireland to friend over here,
rejecting the love and respect held for
st. Patrick and the isle so green.
Whether the breast is broad and strong
or weak and hollow, makes no difference,
the badge or emblem, representing the
harp and shamrock has the prominent
place on vest or lapel of coat worn by
true Irishman on every 18th of March.
1t might be said as it has been said of
death, that in the application of the pat
riotic symbol "the rags of wretchedness
and the purple robes of power lose their
distinction" The 18th of March is the
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1903-03-18

day when the patriotic Irishman gets
ahead of gentle spring. There's never
wait for his season of becoming green.
The cowslips and the daisies may be
little slow about taking on the vernal
colors, but the color always registers on
the Irishman on the 18th of March.
Therefore it is no disgrace to him that he
is green once year he's in such good
and extensive company. The most en-
thusisstic observers of the day do not
confine their decorations to themselves
alone, but spread it all over their horses
and wagons, if they have any. Little
boys and girls wear the green, and even
dear, tiny, sweet baby Nora has around
her neck ribbon of-green. Here's to
Ireland, the Emerald Isle.

Petroleum Discovered Near Home

discovered in the western portion of the
county in the foothills of the Cascades
A party OF prospectors left the city
Monday morning to thoroughly investi

known for years past that all signs"
pointed to there being large deposits of
petroleum in this vicinity. Now, it is
claimed, the discovery has been made.
The fortunate finders are very reticent
as to the location of their prospect and
refuse to give any inkling of its where

have made themselves "solid."

HIS FIRST
JURY TRIAL
Brooks Goes Free After
Judge Dole Denies
Continuance.

Judge s. 3. Dole ran out Of Jurors
for his first jury trial in the United
States District Court yesterday morn
ing. He had to Issue special venire
for more jurors, returnable in the af-
ternoon. Marshal Hendry made re-
turn in due time and shortly twelve
men were found acceptable to both
sides.
Hankichi Terayama, Kinsuki kura-
hara and Mura Kurahara, the third
woman, were placed on their trial un-
der indictment for importing woman
from Japan for immoral purposes.
District Attorney r. w. Breckons ap-
peared for the United States, and
Frank e. Thompson for the defend
ants. The following jury was sworn
to try the cause:
G. E. Morgan. Alex. Nicholas, C. S.
Hall. VIM. Green, VIM. Tell, T. Fl.
Hughes, Thomas Gandall, NJ. ]. Bissel,
C. S. Desky, w. NJ. Templeton, B. w.

BROOKS CASE DISMISSED.
Judge Dole in the morning rendered
his decision on the motion to continue
the case of F. NJ. Brooks, indicted for
conspiracy, owing to the absence of
Saburo Adachi, a material witness,
who is held at Yokohama for extra
dition on a charge OF perjury. He de-
MED the motion.
District Attorney Breckons thereup-
on moved that the case against Brooks
be dismissed, as the evidence of Ada
chi was necessary to convict the de-
fendant 1t was so ordered. Mr..
Brooks is therefore a free man. He
was indicted with nearly so japanese
for conspiring to defeat the operation
of certain United States statutes in
this district.
In his ruling Judge Dole said: I'm
der ordinary circumstances the afIida-
Wit of the District Attorney, as filed In
this case, would be sufficient for con-
tinuance. The court must place cor
fidence in its officers. But there Is a
question as to the status of the de-
sired witness after his arrival here.
He cannot be tried after extradition for
any other offense than that for which
he is brought here, nor can he be held
to compel him to testify. The indict-
ment for conspiracy cannot be held
over him to compel him to testify, for
as far as that Is concerned he is in
the position Of one whose case has
been nolle pressed. I do not find that
the authorities go so far as the coun-
sci for the defense do. in saying that
he cannot be subpoenaed, but no
threat can be held over him to induce
him to testify If he does not wish to
do so. The indictment for perjury is
the only one that can be used against
him and the use Of that as a threat
to make him testify would not be toll
Grated or attempted. The possibility
of using him as witness is therefore
so remote that I am unwilling to con-
tinue the matter on that expectation
