EBUKES THE ACT
OF SECRETARY HAUSER
Judge Webb Nor-Suits Case OF
Assistant Secretary Miner VS.
Frank Boyanowski.

In granting the motion of the de
PENDANTS attorneys for non-suit il
the case of f. NJ. Miner VS. Franz
boyanowski, Judge Webb took oc
caslon to rebuke Secretary of State
Hauser for his actions with the de
fendant, in language considered very
strong. In substance the Judge said
that the secretaryS act was "an unwar.
ranted procedure" and ought not pre-
vale In any department of this state.
he SAID that the action in turning
| over the matter of private citizen
TO subordinate for the rendering of
a professional service, well nigh ap-
| proaches scandal"
Inc case under consideration at the
Time and which called fourth the
scathing rebuke of Judge Webb, was
an action brought by Assistant Secre-
tary OF State f. NJ. Miner to compel
the defendant Frank Boyanowski to
pay MIN S75 for the rendering of an
opinion. The case oiginated from the
action of Mr.. Boyanowski In writing
Secretary of State Houser for his
opinion as to constitutionality of the
bylaws of the Grand Rapids Brewing
20. 1t developeS that Mr.. HauSer
never answered the letter, but turned
the correspondence over to Mr. Miner
to render the opinion asked for-not
as assistant Secretary-but as lawyer.
MI, Miner prepared the opinion with
out informing Mr.. Boyanowski of the
action of Mr. Houser and sent it to
him together with bill for S75 for
professional services. The defendant
by his testimony and also by the let
ters offered in evidence. declared that
he returned the opinion to MIR. Miner
the same day it was received and dis
claimed any responsibility for the
rendering of the same or any liability
for the compensation demanded. The
opinion was again sent to Mr.. Boys
anowski. and while he answered the
letter disclaming any liability, he did
not return the opinion. The case was
an appealed case from Justice Browns
court In which 1t was held that the
defendant must pay.
The legal firm of Bauman and Davis
appeared for the defendant, and 1t |
was on their motion for a non-suit
that Judge Webb took occasion to use
the remarks, in substance as given
above.

The Crary travel talks which had
been calling large crowds to the
Methodist church all last week, closed
Saturday night with an illustrated
lecture on San Francisco as it was
before the fire and earthquake. This
lecture like the ones given on nights
previous was not only entertaining
but instructive as we'll. The ex-
quislte coloring IN the pictures shown
at these lectures, as well as their
Photographic faithfulncss, are COM
plete lecture in themselves, even
though the word pictures of Mrs.
Crary were ommlted. 1t can be truly
said that this series Of lectures have
been entirely successful both to the
Crarys and the church.

ions We're Earned or Not.

In the circuit court the greater
portion of last week the time was

Ed. Clack. This case was the out
| growth of the sale of farm lands some
years ago, made by the defendants to

did not describe the lands purchased
by him and that in fact they trans
fered lands other than those which
the defendants showed and purported
to sell him. Mr.. Smith is a resident

Very respectfully,
- " LEU hANI,
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General

A merciful man is merciful to his
beasts. We like to see our farmers
when they drive to town on a cold,
stormy day, put their team In barn
or cover them with blankets. In the
heat of summer they can always find
shade in which TO leave the noble
animals that brought them safely to
town, There are many, however,
who on cold days W i'll rush for stove
themselves and leave their horses In
the storm while in the heat of sum-
mer they seek the shade and leave
their horses in the sun. There is
something wrong about the man who
thus abuses his team. He may be a
nice man, may belong to the church,
may not swear, smoke nor have any
bad habits. but we would not want
to be his horse. No, sir,

Farms in our county continue to
sell at very good prices. Real estate
men report plenty of buyers, but the
list of farms on the market for sale
grows smaller and it is more difficult
now than formerly to find suitable
farm property that can be bought
cheap. Our land has not yet reached
the top price is the opinion of well
posted men,

A Too Modest Editor.

Colonel JOHN TEMPLE gravel, who
was torn down from the Atlanta Ners
by the unholy hands Of monopolists and
foes of the people, has been nailed, an
tattered, to the masthead of the Atlanta
Georgian. There he waves proudly-and
long may he wave!-a glorious burst of
color.
In looking reverently over the pages
of the Colonel's new newspaper we can
find but one thing to blame, There is
too little e~ffusion of his inspiring per-
sonality. For example, in No, IL OF his
sterling sheet there is but n portrait
of John TEMPLE GRAVES, who will pre-
side at the mass meeting Tuesday night
A speaking likeness, to be sure. The
head and face seem those of some re-
covered Greek god or demigod, fished
up from the Egean or dug up in Olympia.
The waistcoat CLEANS with stars. The
full sweep OF the wings Of the COLLAR
suggests the daily majestic aerial flight
of this Cracker Cicero toward the Empy-
rean. But why a single picture2 Even
the Northern admirers Of this pen and
voice of lightning will complain Of this
slight pictorial presentment Of him.
Even the editorial page contains but
two double loaded and double loaded
editorial articles and only seven or eight
reprinted articles about him. His pub
Usher believes. as every good man or
lover Of the good and the beautiful
must believe, that Colonel GRAVES is "a
great, kind and eood man." with 'the
most priceless faculty of living in the
sunshine, and without exception nearer
the hearts Of the people than any man
of similar calling in the world to-day"
Yes; but why print only one photograph
OF such a man? The Tampa Tribune
"has no hesitancy in saying that the
Georgian is the prettiest paper in the
South" And we have no hesitate on in
saying that its editor is the prettiest
editor in the world. Long life to the
Georgian and its brilliant editor!' cries
that warm Tampa heart. So cry we all
Of us; but cold, impersonal journalism
is not what the country expects and is
entitled to receive from the gifted, the
gorgeous, the ecstatic, the rapturous, the
high soaring GRAVES, half eagle, three
| quarters song thrush and all bulbul.

Not Guilty.

An attempt has been made 70 fasten
upon labor unionism In San Francisco
responsibility for the disastrous on
fiagration that followed the earthquake.
In a letter from the Pacific Coast which
the Waterbury American prints occurs
this extraordinary statement:
" Ninety per cent. OF the loss al San Francisco
vas from nre which could have been avoided ~ the
water main. which was broken three days before
the earthquake. had been repaired. The repairing
had been stopped by union delegates because tho
pipes were not union pipes"
The American wants the charge inves-
tigated. IL would not take long, and
the labor unions, whether repairs on
the mains we're stopped for the reason
given or not, would be acquitted by a
jury of ~seismologists without leaving
the box. The pipes from the lakes which
supplied San Francisco with water ran
across the fault that extends for forty
miles along the San Francisco peninsula.
Fault is a geological term, and Is defined
by the Century Dictionary al "a sever
ing Of the continuity of a body Of rock
by a break through the mass, attended
by movement on one side or the other
Of the br :, 30 that what were onc
parts of one continuous stratum are now
separated
Most of the earthquake shocks OF the
San Francisco peninsula have been due
to a disturbance, or rending and read
justment, along the line Of this fault, and
the convulsion Of April IS was conspicu-
ously such an instance. President DAVID
STARR JORDAN Of Stanford University,
writing about the earthquake in the
Independent, says:
The old fault In the rock reopened. breaking
the surface soil more or less for a distance Of up
ward Of forty miles, The mountain on the west
side OF the fault slipped TO the norihward for q
distance OF between three and six feet without
change of level on either side"
An inspection Of the big main near
San Bruno shows that it was snapped
like a pipestem by the shock, 30 that il
matters little, so far as the responsibility
Of any labor union is concerned, whether
repairs in the city by the water company
were held up by union delegates or not,
The behavior of the unions in San Fran
cisco since the disaster has been exem-
piary, 80 far as we have heard; it was a
pleasure to record the fact that while
the great fire was still raging the Brick
layers Union of Oakland met and voted
to work overtime, to charge only the
usual wage, and not to discriminate
against n%on-unionists in the rebuilding
operations. 1t is all the more pleasant,
then, TO absolve labor unionism OF the
charge brought against it with 80 little
concern for scientific investigation.
