AS to the granting of new trials,
which so often result in delay OF
justice and sometimes in its defeat,
Judge Brown lays down the reliable
rule that the only question for the
court to determine is whether or not
fair trial has been held-whether
the accused has probably been justly
convicted or not.
It is notorious that in most cases
wherein appeals are taken there is
no real doubt that the accused is
guilty. nor is there usually any con-
Germ lest an innocent man be pun
ished. Appeals are VIGOROUSLY, in
most criminal cases, merely an effort
to defeat justice by some hocusp Ocus
of technicalities.
The excessive attention which is
given to these niceties of procedure
less survival of what was useful in
a long since past age, when the dam
ger to be guarded against was the
conviction of an innocent person rath-
er than the acquittal of a guilty per-
SON The latter is the danger courts
are exposed to in this age.
The right of appeal should not be
abolished, as has been suggested, but
it should be the rule that no appeals
will be entertained that do not directly
affect the central question of the guilt
or innocence of the accused. Then,
too, appeals should always be disposed
Of by the courts with the greatest pos
sible dispatch consistent with justice.

\ BLOW FOR TECHNICALITIES.

Justice Brown of the Minnesota SUI
preme court makes statements in his
opinion in the Nelson murder case
that will be we'll received by the laity,
even if the bar should not approve OF
them. The learned Judge substantially
lays down the rule that a technicality
ought not to stand between any man
and justice. He says that the respect
of the people for courts and law is
TO be gained by speedy trials in GRIM
inal cases ''unaccompanied by refined
and subtle technical itieS"

WAS \ TRIUMPH FOR MBRIDE.

Last Wednesday morning the Union
published the result of the election al
Bellingham the day before under the
head. BLACK Is Mayor-McBride
Forces Lose at BelIingham. In fact
the election of Black was a big victory
for Governor Mcbride. as the following
statement issued by the mayorelect
should prove:
L do not consider it SO much a per-
sonal victory as a rebuke to methods
employed by railroad political mana
gers in this state. They announced
that | could not be elected to the pO-
= isition of mayor of this city and threat
ened. and carried out the threat, of the
un-American policy of denying a can
didate the right of the press. They
We're able, by means unknown to me,
to absolutely muzzle the entire press
of this community, and We were UNI
able to be heard, except on payment of
full advertising rates. The fight has
been a fight Of the people for fair play
and constitutional American privileges
on one hand, and corporate greed and
rule or ruin policy on the other hand.
The people of the city of Bellingham
have risen in their might. have decided
the issue and I am very much graft

a news dispatch to the Spokesman
Review says:
The election of Alfred L. Black as
the first mayor of the consolidated city
of Bellingham, is conceded on all sides
to be a tremendous victory for Gov
ernOr Mcbride and his faction of the
republican party, and all over the
Sound the governors friends are cele-
brating the victory. There were two
candidates for mayor both of them
republicans. MIR. Bennett. the defeated
candidate was backed by the railroad
faction. His chief supporter was Chas.
l. Roth. who wants the Endorsement of
Whatcom county for governor, and
politicians on all sides concede that the
real issue in the election was whether
Mcbride or Roth should have the next
delegation from Whatcom county.

road lobbyists OF the state Allied
against Mr.. Black in the fight were
both daily newspapers, the railroads
and most of the other large corpora
tons in Whatcom and the Ankeny and
Wilson factions of the republican par
ty.
Mr.. Black started his campaign by
declaring tlat-footedly that he was in
favor of a railroad commission and of
the reorganization of Governor Mcbride
His opponents sought to inject other
issues into the fight. and Mr.. Black
met this with the declaration that they
were seeking to mask their real par
pose, which was, he declared, TO de-
Nver Whatcom county to the railroad
lobbyists. Mr.. Black was elected by
over 500 majority, and today not rail

LIND-ELLENSB CUTOFF.

MI. T. G. H. Falk of Weber, Wash
ington-a citizen of Adams county
has written an interesting communi-
cation, says the Seattle Times.
The entire letter bears on closer
trade between Seattle and Walla Walla
and adjoining communities, and
points out the remedy in the most
intelligent manner yet presented to
the public. Mr.. Weber begins his
communication by asking the follow
ing question:
Il desire to respectfully inquire if
you have any idea whether the
Northern Pacific Railway company
ever intends to build that longago
proposed and-I reckon already sur
veyed-cut-off, to extend from Lind
4 point on the main line, straight
west to Ellensburg?"
Then Mr.. Falk proceeds to make a
is his statement:
This cutoff would bring the
Puget Sound country, with its great
lumber reservoir and its foreign goods,
approximately one hundred miles in
closer connection With a great terri
tory in eastern Washington where they
already raise large quantities Of the
finest wheat.
People living outside of Adams and
Douglas counties claim that much of
this territory is good only for rails
ing sage brush'-but they don't know
any better than to talk that way.
Since l took my claim three years
ago large tracts of government land
twenty five miles west of Lind straw
stacks can be seen on all sides.
But all the settlers are longing and
waiting for that projected and long
promised transportation facility-for
it doesn't pay to haul wheat such a
great distance, and if we had the cut
off built thousands of new settlers
would rush into this country.
The distance between Lind. the
most eastern point of that cutoff, to
iLlIeIlSDulS Id dSCO 10 l5o
and on to Seattle is 31S miles.
a straight line from Lind to FL
lensDurg measures but ninety-tWo
miles, and thus the cutoff would re-
duce the distance from Lind to the
New York of the West almost 100
miles, bringing it down to 220 instead
of 31S miles. as now.
The longest part of this cutoff in
clines toward the ocean, and thus the
shipping of wheat out of this country
would be made all the easier, though
Of course returning freight would draw
all the harder
Mr.. Falk then proceeds to give the
distances from Lind to Portland-Wal-
la Walla to Portland-Walla Walla to
Seattle, and make comparisons which
are all favorable to this city.
Mr.. Falk points out that it is 295
miles from Lind to Portland, as rail-
roads are now constructed, which is
twenty-five miles nearer than Lind to
Seattle.
Then Mr.. Falk shows that it is 245
miles from WalIa Walla to Portland,
and 800 miles from Walla Walla to Sc
attle-giving Portland the benefit by
fifty seven miles.
On the other hand, with the cutoff
constructed the distance from Lind to
Seattle would be but 220 miles-or
seventythree miles shorter haul
than from Lind to Portland-and that
distance cannot be reduced.
Then MI Falk shows that the Lind
cut-oh"' would put Walla Walla TWEEN
ty-tiVe miles nearer to Seattle than
to Portland-the distance being 245
miles from Walla Walla to Portland
as matters now stand. whereas the
distance under the 'cut-of" from Lind
TO Seattle would be but 220 miles.

YOUNG WOMAN'S BRAVERY
1t Saves DR.. Mcleod of Ardmore From
Certain Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec pa
When George Ingle Mcleod, the young
Spanish war surgeon and society man.
fell beneath the train at Ardmore last
Wednesday night. q beautiful young
woman, richly goWned, rushed to his
aid before any one else. She dragged
him to the platform unaided and
placed him on the platform. Then she
strOve to bind up his awful wounds
with portions of her petticoat When
DR.. Mcleod was placed on the train
and taken to the Pennsylvania hospi-
tai in this city, where his feet were
amputated, the woman disappeared.
This heroine is Miss Nancy Allen of
Ardmore, ia, daughter of Rev. DR..
George Pomeroy Allen, rector of ST.
Mary's Episcopal church. Miss Allen
and DR.. Mcleod had been dining with
friends and the physician was taking
the young woman to her home at Ard

Many of DR.. McLeOds friends saw
him fall under the cars and were
aghast. They were too Mortified to act

Calling upon all her strength, she
seized him under the armpits and
dragged him to the station platform.

They HAVE WHEELS
DOCTRINE OF SOCIALISM TO 1E
PEODLED THROUGHOUT THE
STATE IN A VAN.
Spokane Exponents of the Party Adopt
Novel Scheme to Secure
New Members.

The socialists of Spokane are plan.
ming to build van and put it on the
road for the purpose of teaching the
socialist doctrines to the people Of
Washington.
The plan has been under considera-
ton for some time, and the Spokane
socialists have taken hold of the matter
in earnest now.
An eastern paper has been advertise
ing that it will give van to a state,
# certain number of subscribers are
pledged for the paper. The number Is
a large one and it makes the price
quite expensive. The local men have
decided that they can do much bet
ter by working independently. A
team of horses has been pledged by
one man and 500 in cash has been
pledged by another when 5000 has
been raised. A complete van will cost
about $500. An arrangement has been
made with the local organ of that par
ty Whereby a proportion of the SUBJ
scriptions received will apply to the
van fund. and the first 5000 may be
raised in this way.
When the state committee heard Of
the plans to get a van it held a meet
ing several weeks ago and passed res
olutiOns to the effect that it would have
nothing to do with it. This has not
disturbed the local men. who have gone
ahead just the same.
When completed the van is to be
ist speakers. and will be driven from
one town to another in Washington and
the doctrines of socialism expound-
ed. The running expenses will be paid
day
The reason that the state committee
turned down the proposition is alleged
to be because one of the members of
ing office in Seattle. where large
amount of socialist literature is print
ed and that he didn't like competition.
Several of the socialists in Walla
kane telling about the scheme and
asking for cooperation. While the
number in this city are few it is re-
ported that they have promised to as
sist in the movement of bringing new
members into the fold.
