Charles Barrett in Shawnee Herald.
There is stin plenty OF opposition TO the
consolidation OF Arizona and New Mex

prohibition IN Gailingcr. may be added
IN the senate. It is not probable that the

changed. The Oklahoma City crowd ia
engaged principally in stirring up strife
and dissension IN the ranks OF the del
egation, not so much to aid Oklahoma
City as to secure personal notoriety

THAT TESTIMONY.

Since the publication of the testi
mony In the sanisArium case. there has
been much speculation relative TO The
Leaders, acquisition OF the evidence
The charge has been made that the
suppressed documents came from Nc.
CURE sources This Is not true. The
Leader, in its capacity as newspaper,
procured thsi testimony about two
months ago, through commercial
translation, believing at that time that
its publication would prove valuable
Opportunity for publicity came soner
than was expected when President
Roosevelt save out the statement that
the asylum scandals had not be clean
ed up and the territorial secretary ten
dered his resignation.

Can court or a judgnbe considered
above criticism on the part of the pub
lie or the press? If so, who is to Judge
OF the extent to which criticism may
go before it becomes contempt Of
lcourt? And under what circumstances
may an individual be punished for con-
tempt? In Darmstadt, Germany, re-
Gently a Judge complained that one OF
the lawyers looked at him lin highly
disrespectful manner and for this act
the lawyer was called up and a fine Of
ten dollars imposed on him for con-
tempt
We have not seen a record of this
case and do not know the circum-
atances or particulars. II is not stated
whether the lawyer scowled, grinned
OF sneere6 at the honorable Judge, or
whether he merely winked his other
eye in the direction OF the bench. No
disrespectful LANGUAGE WIS used by the
attorney. MS onig oEcasa being a dis
frespectful l-oS- 1t may be that he
squinted, but the honorable Judge con

lawyer had to pay for It. He should
appeal to the courts to lay down a
code OF looks that viii not be offensive
so that the lawyers may not run future
risks. an sa.ssAA
1t is true that this was in the realm
OF the kaiser. where the people enjoy
less liberty than here, but in our own
country there have been some near ap.
proaches to this case The case OF
Senator Patterson. of Colorado, has
made some stir in the newspapers. He
is editor of Denver newspaper and
had cartooned and criticised the su.
preme court in way that was highly
offensive to the judge who fined him
81 900 for bis offense. refusing to allow
any defence. He is trying to get his
case before the United States courts,

apology. One OF them refused TO pay
or apologize and his friends paid for
him rather than have him imprisoned
The other had no money to pay his fine
and no one to pay It for him. and being
In bad health he made the required
apology rather than go to prison.
These aud other instances We might
mention are not quite as unreasonable
as the German case, but they show
that judges in our own country are Of

of punishment for contempt in a way
that looks harsh and unreasonable to

Is sometimes very difficult for the citi-
zen to say where the danger line lies.

LAwsoN's DEFEAT.

Thomas w. Lawson claims that he
Is on the verge OF financial ruin and
the course Of The stock market in the
next few days will tell the story. He
gives out the idea that he is Short
on certain stock and unless this
stock goes down he win lose all his
money This means some weeks ago
MIR. Lawson sold stock that he did not
have for a certain figure. Had the
stock declined he could now buy Il
and deliver it at good profit. AS It
is he will have to buy # for much
more than be sold It for in order to
carry out his contract It Is not a
matter Of national importance on
which the people should take Sides
II is an every day story of frenzied
fnance--a man on the wrong side Of
the market Mr.. Lawson has done
much good in his exposures Of the in
ner workings OF our great financiers
but he is after all only a stock specu-
lator and his ideas as TO how to bring
about reforms are absurd. AS far as
the people are concerned It makes lit
tie difference whether stocks go up as
the System" is supposed to &c work
ing for OF down as lawson wants.
On just what side Of the market

matter Of great secrecy and the state
