Courts and Justice.

While the News holds that the lay
man does we'll as rule to fight shy Of
discussion of matters affecting the con-
duct and tendencies of the courts, the
following from Judge Holdom of the
appellate court at Chicago would appear
to warrant comment:
'It is more important to the adj
ministration of justice" says the
judge, "that litigation should end
in the attainment of substantial
justice than that record Of pro-
ceedings should be built up which
is without flaw or blemish.' y
To this the Milwaukee Journal says:
These are like apples of gold and
pictures of silver.
They were uttered on the bench by
Judge Holdom of the appellate court
of Chicago, and should be pondered by
every judge and lawyer in the country.
One of the thinge that has angered
many people toward courts and law
yers is the disposition to put legal
technicalities in the way of the accom-
plishment of justice. Whereas, as
Judge Holdom we'll says, the perfec-
ton of the court ''record" is of little
consequence when compared to the
findings of substantial justice.
Procedure and technical pleas are
Tor ought to be- the means toward the
end. The end in view should always
be the working out of justice as be-
tween man and man.
Too many lawyers care nothing for
the end in view. Their object is to de-
feat justice.
The Interpretation of precedent and
practice and pleadings is employed to
postpone and to defeat the purpose for
which courts are organized.
1t is easy for the ingenious lawyer
to raise questions which do not go to
the merit of the matter in order to dis
turb and defeat the even course of JUS
tice.
Much depends upon the rulings of

Lost Plamies.

A problem which perplexed the last
generation was the long extinct pig
my race which centuries ago un-
doubtedly inhabited the Tennessee
mountains. Legends among the In
dams told of such tribe Of dwarfs,
who were supposed to be of more in
telligence than the red men But
these legends were very hazy. A bury
ing ground, however, actually was
discovered in the early part of the
last century in which all of the skele.
tons were of pigmy proportions. Some
of them were carried away to col.
lege museums But as far as known
no scientific inquiry has ever been d.
rected to this question.

Regulate Sometime.

Ex-President Cleveland wants the
railroad regulation question indefinitely
postponed. He is reported from the
east as follows:
Grover Cleveland believes that
the regulation of the railroads
should be postponed until the ex-
element dies down and people are
thinking about something else.
That is all fine in theory. But no
reform ever was accomplished that
way. This spasm, like all others,
is likely to go a good deal further
than wisdom would dictate, may
also be followed by much evil,
mixed with what good it may
bring about. There will be a re-
action or SOLDERING up of the public
mind, and the office of that reac-
ton is not to elaborate novelties in
the way of reform. but, as the
name implies. to cure the i'll effects
of popular frenzy by a partial re-
turn to the old order of things"
Thus is the railroad situation sized
up by the conservatives of the forces
who realize that the railroad issue is
one demanding attention however
have fear of what they term the
frenzy" of the people. The News
has not discovered the alleged frenzy,
in fact it appears to us that the people
are inclined to be conservative on the
subject of rates, but they want to
know what reasonable rates are.
The manifestation of frenzy appears
to be on the part of the railroads.
They are not willing to come into
meeting, so to speak. They charge the
people with being in frenzied state.
The News believes that not one in a
hundred of the people of the country

the courts.
1t is therefore refreshing to observe
a tendency such as is here voiced by
Judge Holdom-a tendency toward the
elimination of artful motions or OBJ
jections, or reducing them to their
proper place.
Every court of whatsoever degree
should, in the highest sense, be a court
of equity.

Examples Influence Bows.

Emerson was right when he said,
"We send our boys to school that the
teachers may educate them, but in
stead the boys whom they rect there
educate them" The greatest infu-
eEces over boys are the examples and
sentiments of their associates.-Ex-

TUESDAY, MAp> z, 1907.

Of decided interest to the travel ing public is the decision of the h. terstate commerce commission that the railroads cannot grant special rates to theatrical troupes as has been the custom in the past. The decision may or may not affect all of the travelling public. That is as the railroads take it. The present law provides that there shall be no discrimination in passenger rates, and it is held that there is discrimination if the railroads allow special rate to theatrical organizations and not to other associations of people. If the theatrical rate is kept in force, then an association of ten or more other persons of any calling can de- mand and receive the same treat ment. This will be nice for the travelling public, and will be apt to make cooperative travelling the fash ion! .-. ..s

Roosevelt Hears Opening Hymns and Cheers at Charleston by Telephone.
 WASHINGTON, May 7.--President Theodore Roosevelt touched button in the White House and formally open ed the fifth triennial schuetzenfest of the National Schuetzen Bund of Ameri- ca at Charleston, s. c.
 The button was electrically connect ed with a rife on the range at the Schmetzenplatz, and the detonation that followed was heard in the White House by the aid of telephone. A minute later the result of the shot was communicated to the president.
 Three shots were fired by the presi- dents action at ring target, the scores being 24, q and 24; total, 60 out of possible T5. The final result was announced to the president by Govern or M. r. Ansel of South Carolina, who stood near the telephone, and after the congratulations and felieitations were exchanged the president was enabled to hear My Country. Iris of Thee,' and the Star Spangled Banner" and three cheers for the president, given by the people at the shooting grounds. The opening of the fest was preceded by a parade, in which 5000 Schuetzens and others participated.

While there is so much fuss and speculation over the coming republi- can nominee for president, might it not be worth while for the republican party if it is really in earnest, to give some pledge in the nomination as we'll as in the platform that 1t really intends to keep one of the essential pledges on which it went into office last term, namely the revision of the tariff. If the democratic party comes into power, there will be no question but what the tariff will get pretty thoroughly revised and particularly in the spots where it most needs re- vision, the onerous and unnecessary burden that is placed on the manu- factures that might compete from abroad with the fattest trust hogs at the public trough. But the repub- lican party is also pledged to tariff revision and for three years it has fiirted with the question at safe long range. The public has lost all faith in \ it's promises and it's plat forms. There is but one thing for it to do if it wishes to retain some measure of public confidence, and that is to nominate some man either at the head or the tail of the ticket who is an avowed tariff revisionist and in whose word the people would have more faith than in the abstract prom ises of the party.

Reports from the monster British battleship Dreadnaught, which has just completed cruise to the West Indies are by no means the most fla vorable. They are of particular in- terest to this country just now be- cause this government is about en- barking on the perilOus task of du- plicating the gigantic fighting ma- chine and perhaps going her one bet ter. The trouble seems to lie chief Iy in the use of the steam turbine as a marine engine Now this has been an interesting subject among engi- neers and there has been a good deal of criticism because this government has been slow to take up the turbine idea in warship construction Many of the laity have held that we were slow and a decade behind foreign in naval construction But the reports of the turbine ex- pertinent. for it Is an experiment. in a big battleship are not encouraging Letters from the oGesrs and men of

 son with Tub Froeks.

As everything else in the realm of dress that has succeeded has widened its influence and scope of usefulness, so with the picture hat, which is this season for the first time worn with tub frocks. that is. the picture hat with waving plumes, ospreys. etc, as we think of 1t in the full sense of the word. And this seasons models are worn more to the back of the head than of yore. It Is a new feature to be noted in the smartest modes.
 The mushroom shape will grow in popularity as the warmer weather comes. for while 1t answers every purpose of beauty, one of its main objects Is also to afford protection from the sun. A delightful effect in white chip. with an edge of black vel vet, has bow of the same and looks very pretty. It is trimmed with clus- ters of shaded black and white feath- CTS. completing a graceful arch.

Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of agriculture, has been going among the colleges and telling of the things his department has done and is doing for the farmer, chief among them the investigation it has been making of the possibilities of alcohol as a source of light, heat and power. The secretary may be pardoned per- haps for footing a little on his own
 trumpet, says one writer. He has developed the department of agricul- ture into one of the most important departments of the government be- cause it deals with so many subjects that come closely in touch with the daily life of the people. He is en- thusiastic about the possibilities of alcohol and his enthusiasm is worthy of consideration because of the things he has accomplished in the past. He points out that the end of the wood supply as fuel is more than in sight and the end of the coal sup ply does not need an. opera glass to distinguish it. But alcohol he holds can and will be produced by the far mer from his surplus crops and from crops raised especially for the pur- pose. He says that without impov- erishing the farms, for alcohol Is not a fertilizer, the farmer can produce enough alcohol to ward of cold and starvation from the country for an indefinite period. All of this is cheering news for the farmer and equally good for the people at large.

the Dreadnaught say while she Is a fast fair weather ship, she is extrava- gantly wasteful of coal at slow speeds, that she cannot maneuver at any, thing less than racing gait, and that her stokehold is impossible to live in at any time. All the technical details of the case matter but little to the public. The important fact is that the British government, much against it's will perhaps, has given us an object lesson at an ex- pense of several million dollars, for
 all of which when it comes to con- we ought to be duly thankful.
