Feb. LIST, 1897, George Turner
said in Olympia: al am a Pop
ulist first, last and all the time"
But he didn't mean it, any
more than he meant it when he
said he was a free silver man,
and that to Strike down silver"
was to "strike down labor" The
Populists knew this and on
Tuesday, Sept. 9Th, the Popu-
list state convention assembled
at Seattle passed the following
resolutions: "In the state of
Washington we denounce and
repudiate the proved pretenses
and inconsistent record of Geo.
Turner, from the corruption of
the fusion legislature of 1897,
which accomplished his election
as United States senator under
the assumed name of Populist,
to his part in the betrayal of the
Bryan Democracy to Wall street
interests at st. Louis in 1904

THE GRANGER GAME CASE

Prosecuting Attorney Wynn's
version of the Granger game
case explains with sufficient
clearness his reasons for advls-
ing against the filing of a COM
plaint. 1t also raises such a
question of veracity between Mr..
Granger and Game Warden Rob-
ertson as to place the former in
a decidedly unfavorable light,
especially as the latter's state
ments as to Changers admis-
sions just prior to his arrest
were made under oath. The
game warden's letter in the Is
LANDER was clear, forcible and
comprehensive. 1t had the ring
of truth and those who know
him would have accepted it UNI
questioningly as the truth with
out the added weight of an aft
davit. No man is greater than
the law and no law officer should
assume to set at naught the plain
provisions of a statute, whether
or not the statute is obnoxious.
1t is an old established maxim
of Jurisprudence that "an inter-
probation that gives effect is to
be preferred to one that makes
void" The game warden's un-
derstanding of the law was un-
doubtedly correct and he swore
that Granger admitted to him
that he knew he was violating
the law, but didn't think
there was any one up there to
object He was certainly hunt
ing without license. The Is
LANDER believes that a COM
plant should have been filed
and Granger placed under oath.
If the justice then saw fit to
swallow the coon story in prefer
ence to believing the sworn
statements of all officer sworn
to enforce the law, the respons-
Utility for the mems discharge
would have properly rested up
on him. The law is no respect
er of persons though its officers
sometimes are. 1t may be that
Mr.. Granger did not receive any
more consideration because he
is a banker than he would have
received had he been a scaven-
ger. However that may be, he
certainly was not entitled to any
more, if as much, for he could
not urge the excuse of need or
inability to pay a fine.
