ly or selfish motive, and it is bare
ly possible that when thus peryert-
ing the great trust confded to his
keeping Judge Evans was not un-
mindful of local public sentiment.
The Judge Evanses may come
and go. The like of him is not
often found in the judiciary,
though here and there is one.
Thanks to the intelligence and
patriotism of the people, however,
there is yet one department of our
government-the judicial = where
the demagogue is correctly meas
ured, and for this reason, mayhap,
it has in all our history more com
pletely enjoyed public confidence
than any other department in oul

NV cousin, Chas. Matkins, and !
arrived in Sacramento Saturday,
June 22d, at s P. M. We went from
there to Chico and then took an
electric car for Oroville, a distance
| of 38 miles, which is made in 90
minutes. We spent Sunday night
with our cousin, Martin Polk. We
pulled some oranges and figs of
| the trees and eat them; of course
this may not be novel to some
people, but it was to US, Around
Chico is a great orange country,
and they can be bought there for
15c to 25c per dozen.
| We left Oroville Monday eye-
ming and stayed in Chico that
night. Here we met our cousin,
Tom Polk; (who is deputy assessor
Of Butte county, who showed US
over the town of Chico, which has
a population Of about 10000, ano
Il is a beautiful town.
This morning we took the stage

Obituary.

Died-At his home near Black,
Mo-, March is, 1907, Pinkney
Black, aged 66 years. He was
kind, loving husband and father,
also devoted Christian. He was
the father of sixteen children, ten
of which survive him. He was
sick only a few days when God
called him home to dwell with the
angels. He said he was ready to
die and wanted to be buried be-
side his first wife. He was laid to
rest in the place of his own choice,
and quite a number of friends and
relatives followed him to his final
resting place. Our father has
gone, never to return. He can t
come to us but we can go to him.
There is a vacant place in the
home which never can be filled.
We are separated from our father
here, but l hope to meet him in a
world more beautiful than this.

Transformation.

The town was dressed those days in gay att
tire;
White arches spanned the avenues,
And bunting decorated oftice. home and store
In royal purples, whites and blues.
The marching ranks OF Elks, with horns and
drums,
Distraught the too receptive ear
Attuned to music's softer sounds, while cries
Went up from front TO struggling rear.
What children still are men in years mature!
Their cares and pleasures still the same!
They laugh and cry at mimic Joys and woes
Unreal as those in childish game!
The infant builds his mound OF sand, and
mourns
Because it not the storm withstands;
The father piles up wealth as insecure
For wreck at freakish Fortunes hands.
All, yes, we toll and drudge, and thus elect
To wear our fev'rish lives away,
In hope to gain the Vale OF Sweet Content,
Which ever lies ahead one day!
Then praise we Mother Nature kind that she
Us playful recreation brings,
For ii but baubles give us happiness
1 Why hold them not as blessed thingsp
In classic Chinese lore their sages tell
That long ago were jars ingrained
With rarest thinning which they held unseei
Unless they rich old wine contained.
When void, or filled with vim d'ordinaire,
The vessels sides no figures knew,
But richer liquor made them glow with fruit
And flowers fair as ever grew
And thus the souls of men in meaner state,
Filled with the turgid lees OF life,
Their higher attributes to them unknown,
Go drudging on in petty strife;
But when a nobler spirit enters in,
And springs the smoldering fire aflame,
Behold they, all transformed and glorified
The handiwork of God proclaim!
But vet, unlike the Oriental vase,
Which, plain or richly decorate,
No intermediate transformation knew,
The soul conforms to every state ~
In sorrow mourns, in exultation boasts,
In laughter shows its lighter mood. ii
The wine OF life depicts full many change
Alike OF evil and OF good! E. D. A.

Circuit Judge Disqualifies Himself

A dispatch from West Plains de-
scribes Judge w. N. Evans Of the
twentieth judicial circuit of Mis-
souri, as leading raid upon a beer
and whisky joint in Oregon coun-
ty. It is related that "Judge Evans
seized 200 cases of beer. The beer
was moved to the Thayer building
and stored to be used as evidence
at the trial in OregonGounty July
28th."
Peculiar things happen in this
day of the reformer. Precedent,
tradition, law, all are seemingly
forgotten, or else held as useless
relics of the past by some who are

such force that here and there II

whom is delegated the power of
passing upon life and property,
and it has been the boast of al
most a century that the Missouri
jurist has conducted himself with
such dignity of character, and con-
fined himself SO strictly to those
lines which promote the greatest
virtue he could pass upon the rich
or poor, high or low, friend or foe,
with the same degree of justice
and impartiality.
Therefore, we who have been
taught here in Missouri for scores
of years thata judges mind should
be free, that his motives should be
pure, that he should all the time be
in a position to give an impartial
hearing to any man or cause, can
not and should not withhold criti-
cism from this circuit Judge who
forgets the sacredness of his Office,
his duty under his oath, and all
the traditions and precedents that
have given to his position that
dignity which commands respect,
and goes out into the byways as a
detective in search of evidence to
use in passing upon one who must
be tried before him.

Relieving a Tense Situation.

Is the adoption of two-cent fares
by the railroads scheme to save
the Federal judiciary? 1t is unde-
niable that the two-cent legisla-
ton by the States placed the Fed
eral courts in a mighty tight corn
er. The fury of the Boe otian
public has not yet been aroused,
but it is wearing a watchful and
suspicious look. 1t is beginning
to sit up and take notice, after it
has been mauled and hammered
and kicked by the Federal courts
for forty years. 1t is beginning to
pass laws with provisions penal
izing appeals to these courts. 1t
| is beginning to notice that in forty
years no decision of real import
has ever come it's way, and it is
beginning to wonder why. These
railroad cases placed the Federal
courts in a delicate position. To
the wiser judges it began to look
like the courts would have to
"yield to popular clamor"-anc

nearly reached the point where

Pearls of Great Price.

"For seventeen years the Ameri-
can people have been yielding
royal tribute to the Tin Plate
Trust" says the Jonstown, Pa,
Democrat. "William B. Leeds is
one of the millionaire brood
Matched by this monster. He has
become bloated with the unearned
wealth which the Tin Plate Trust
has extorted from helpless pub
lie. He has developed into a
Sybaritic connoisseur. His taste
has become princely, -unning to
costly jewels and rare gems. No
Indian rajah or Persian shah out
vies him in this respect; and the
markets of the world are ransacked
in his behalf for stones and other
gauds for the adornment of his
wife and the enrichment of his
collection. Two or three years
ago President Leeds of the Tin
Plate Trust picked up about thirty
seven large pearls valued at a
mere trifle of S22O,0O0. A snag was
struck when these reached our
shores. They had to run the
gauntlet of the sacred Dingley
tariff and, while the appraisers
were considerate Of q man who is
able, out of unearned wealth, to
purchase half bushel or SO OF
pearls, the Collector of Customs
was inclined to be less easy and,
instead of admitting them under a
duty of 10 per cent, which the ap-
praiser held to be the right one, he
demanded 80 per cent, or S132,OOO
OF course the head of the Tin Plate
Trust was shocked. He would
stand for no such indignity and hi
