Dear Sirs: Hes a very good man as
men 60, he's only about fifteen per cent
tricky"
What do you think OF that?
There are eight paints nOt-adulterated
and iull-9allon; there are more than two
hundred In all; some adulterated three
quarters, some two thirds. some hall. one
third.a quarter; and when you get down
To fifteen per cent, they seem very good
as paints go; they're only about fifteen
per cent tricky.
How much IL Il fair to cheat in a gallon
by measure; and how much by water In
milk; or whiting, china clay, ground
stone. barytes, benzine, and water, In
paint? Fifteen Is the least; Il isn't worth
while to cheat for less than fifteen; thew
seem to think 80 anyhow. Maybe,i 1t Isn't
worth while at all.
Devoe IL the strongest OF all. A gallon
goes further: 10 gallons Dcvoe is enough
Tor Job that takes l. II 13 IA Is 10
Ia IL 10 20 81 - OF the rest; and a gal
Ion costs 81 when painters are paid.
Now reckon the costs. Devoe $50: the
rest 800 500 $65 $40 and 30 on.
How long will they wear? The
strongest wears longest, Of course.
IL II worth while 10 cheat when an
honest paint costs least and weare
longest7
Yours truly

THE LOCAL OPTION ELECTION
DECISION.

We publish elsewhere In this issue
the opinion and decision of Judge
John T. Goodrich in the local option
contest, in which she local option
election held here on May 9th is set
aside for the reasons and ON she
ground stated in the opinion. This
opinion and decision is far-reaching
In It's results, and members OF the
local bar regard Is as a very able
one. Judge Goodrich tried to have
postponed the presentation OF the
petition asking for the local option
election, so that the election might
be held at a time when there could be
no doubt about who was qualified to
vote at the election. He has no
doubt decided the case according to
the law, as he construes it, and i is
the duty of all law-abiding citizens
to abide by and respect the decision
OF the court, as the decision involves
matters of grave moment 10 the en-
tire State, TO say nothing of this
city, and it is earnestly to be hoped
hat the local Anti-Saloon League or
the State Anti-Saloon League. or
both, will appeal TO the Court of Ap
peals, so that the questions in issue
may be finally passed on by the
highest tribunal in the State. No
one, perhaps. would be better salts
fed With such a course than Judge
Goodrich himself, whose position in
this case has been most trying. and
who would undoubtedly welcome a
decision from the upper court. no
matter what the result.
We feel assured that our people.
the ''drys' and the VETS will be
conservative, and do and say moth
ing which they might have cause 60
regret. We are all citizens of the
same locality. and each of us. and
all OF us, should be inspired for the
good and welfare OF the community
In which we live. and should accord
to one another sincerity and hon
esty OF belief and opinion.
The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1908-08-08
Suggests Reforms.

One remedy. Mr. Taft said. must be
reform in our judicial procedure. which
Is now too cumbersome. Anothc-
would be more e,ADedition on the par.
OF judges in rendering their opinions
Delay. he said. always worked 70 the
detriment Of the poor and the benof,
Of the wealthy litigant
AS 10 appeals Mr.. Taft believes that
the court Of first instance" and tn
intermediate appellate court should De-
for the purpose of finally disposing a.
just and prompt way Of contentious
between litigants. The appellant juris
dictiOn OF the court OF last resort
should be limited 10 those cases whicl
are typical and which give to it in it,
judgment an opportunity TO cover,thc
whole field Of the law.
Another method by which Irritation
at inequalities in our admlnistratiol
Of justice may be reduced is by tn
introduction of a system for the SCI
ting OF damage suits brough, by en-
ployes against public service corpora
tons through official arbitration an
without resort to jury trials Such G
system is working in England. a. .
am informed and has been success
fully inaugurated in Massachusetts,.
mo one can have sat upon the fel
eral bench as / did for eight or nm
years and not realize how defectiy
the administration OF justice in these
cases must have seemed 20 the defeat
ed plaintiff. whether he was the Ieglees
or armless employee himself. or his
personal representative.
we cannot. of course. dispense
with the jury system. Il Is that which
makes the people q part Of the admin
istration of justice. but every mean
by which In civil cases litigants may
be induced voluntarily 20 avoid the ex
pense, delay and burden Of jury trials
ought to be encouraged because in
this way the general administration Of
Justice can be greatly facilitated and
the expense incident to delay in litiga
| fion can he greatly reduced
