solutions were adpoted by the Adver-
tisiug association of this city
Whereas. this association realizes
what an important factor the daily
press is in making or marring a COM
munity; therefor be it
Resolved by us. that the newspaper
owners of Denver be urged to SO con
duct their columns in the future that
the publicity shall be promoting in
stead of deterrent influence in the
progress of our city. aud that we sug-
gest:
First-Thst public officials who are
trying to do their duty shall have
hearty editorial support instead Of
unwavering and embittered partisan
opposition and humilIatiDg criti ,ism
Second-That proposed public i'm.
provements be treated solely on the
ground as to whether they will con-
tribute to Denver's good. and not al.
ways with suspicion that some body
has graft IN view.
Third-That crime be treated in
such way as not to herald us to the
world constantly ~ a city of thugs and
cut throats. when. as a matter of fact.
we have probably less law breaking
than most cities of the same popula-
tion.
Fourth-That serious effort be
given to the sort of publicity thar
will promote home industries, bust
ness and manufacturing enterprises
which will attract capital to us rather
than drive it away.
Fifth-That when there is an un.
fortunate labor or other conflict the
best efforts Of the press be given to II
peaceable aud fair adjustment. rather
than to stirring up the passions of the
parties for political or other selfish
and temporary gain.

is the practice by counsel whose cause is
weak, of endeavoring to entrap the court in
to error so that foundation may be laid on
which to base a motion for a new trial. 1t
is notorious that some defendants, though
knowing that litigation will eventually go
against them, prefer taking chances on
wearing out plaintiffs by a multiplicity of
trials to compromising cases out of court be-
fore the first trial BY the time an appel
late court has ordered third trial of an ac-
ton, the plaintiff, even though twice victo-
rious in the lower forum, is likely to be
thoroughly disheartened and in mood
to accept any terms of settlement that the
defendant may be pleased to offer. Theo-
retically, of course, members of the bar
ought not take part in a scheme which is
practically deception of the court and
misuse of the machinery of the law, but
universal custom has sanctioned the trick,
and the adrot trial lawyer thinks almost as
much of planting in the record one or two
substantial errors that in theory may harm
his cause as he does of winning the case;
for an error in the record is always an anchor
to windward available in the event of defeat
in the first trial The detriment suffered by
a litigant through an ordinary error on
point of evidence if scarcely appreciable, in
fact, although to the mind of the appellate
court it may, by possibility, be sufficient to
upset verdict.
Moreover. while appellate courts scruti-
nize records so narrowly as they do, and
grant new trials so freely, trial judges will
continue to be careless in their rulings on
points of evidence, trusting to the higher
tribunals to look up the law and correct
errors. The appellate court will do the
work, anyhow-thus reasons a lazy or busy
trial judge-and there is no use in my doing
it, too. This may be an illogical way of
looking at the matter, but it is not very
uncommon way.

SOCIALISM IN AUSTRALIA.

1t is noticeable from the tenor of articles
published of late in the ''outside" press
that considerable attention is being given to
socialism Some of the newspapers assert
that Socialism is declining; others assert
with equal force that it is making Roadway,
slowly but surely. In the German reichstag
not long ago there were two warm debates
between Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader,
and Imperial Chancellor Won Buelow. The
Importance attached to the discussion, it
seems to us, shows the spread of socialism
in the German empire. There are, prob
ably, some features of the German govern
ment which might be improved. The Social
Democrats have undoubtedly corrected some
of the grievances that formerly obtained

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION,

The Republican national convention,
called to meet at Chicago on the Dist of next
June, will be the thirteenth gathering of
the kind in the history of this great politi-
cal organization, says the Springfield Re
publican. After considerable period of
wandering among other places, the Repub
lican convention returns to Chicago, which
alone, of all the great cities of the country,
possesses the double advantage of sufficient
accommodations and central location, along
with summer climate at least little more
tolerable than that of st. Louis. 1t will be
the sixth of the thirteen Republican conven
tons to meet at that place, and in the look
backward it may be of passing interest to
bring together the location of past Repub
lican conventions, the tickets named and the
popular result at the polls over the leading
opposition candidates
