"The laws delays" Hamlet enum-
rated that az among the chief reasons
why men would ''shuffle off this mortal
oil" if il were not for the fear OF the
Unknown beyond the grave. So there
we're vexatious and unnecessary delays
in Justice when all the world wa,
stage for the Bard of Avon--before
Coke's time; many, many years before
Blackstone required II whole volume to
rell of the excellencies of the common
Jaw and was too near-sighted to see a
single defect.
There were delays centuries before
the people of Wallowa and Union
counties found just cause for complaint,
but that makes it none the easier to
bear in this year OF our Lord.
A county with two terms of court a
year and all the remainder of the time
the court of justice "sealed book
must necessarily see the worst side OF
the administration of justice. Litigants,
Jurors, and witnesses called from their
home and business and detained days
and weeks while cases are being brought
to issue by attorneys. Wronged liti-
gants seeing their all frttered away by
tedious waits, until the whole sum in
dispute is swallowed mp in expense
bills. Jurors and State witnesses
draw ing their per diem for many un-
necessary days and weeks spent at
court, until the total is very large
sum that is big drain on even so fat
IL porketbook as the Wallowa county
treasury. Thess are few of the ills
that past conditions lave dt veloped
here.
In Union county are long-drawn out
jury terms, the jury trying about one
case week. Cases not ut issue and a
big expense piling up every day.
This may not he the fault of recent
occupants OF the bench but is system
inaugm aied years ago when there vas
but little court business in either Union
or Wallowa county. At present the
court work in the two counties is such
that the Judge should be at work prac-
tically all the time to keep the dockets
clear.
Hon. D. w. Sheahan, the leader in
years OF service as we'll as in other re.
spects, of the Wallowa county bar, has
seen and suffered from the delays as
have other lawyers. He is a candidate
for the Democratic nomination fol
circuit Judge and if elected will surely
put a working plan in force, that woulc
save thousands OF dollars to Wallow,
and Union county people, He woulc

Peoples Forum
COS FOR MR.. Ugh
Mononeatia Republican Sizes up the
Candidates For State superin-
tendent Of Schools.

The following letter appeared in
yesterdays Morgantown Chronicle, be-
ing addressed to the editor:
May I address q word to my fell
low Republicans Of Monongalia on
the subject of selecting a nominee for
what l consider In many respects the
most important place on the State
ticket? I refer to the superintendent
OF free schools. We have to make our
selection from four candidates, Mr.,
Miller. Mr.. Lough. Mr.. santee and Mr..
Shawkey. Each of these men has his
elements OF strength, but I am CON
WINGED that Mr.. Tough is, far and
away, the most available candidate uu-
der existing circumstances.
Professor Miller has rendered COOL
service to the State. but there is a
very distinct prejudice on the part OF
o,lr people against third terms. By
reason OF this prejudice and from the
fact that he is making no active effort
to secure the nomination. there seems
10 me only the remotest chance that
the professor can be renominnted to
succeed himself. A little inquiry will
convince any person that the present
superintendent has almost no active
support In any part of the State. Is it
worth while for Mononga1ia to waste
the vote of her delegation on a can
didate who has no show?
Senator Santee has made a very
respectable member Of the upper
house of the legislature and his rec
ord OF party service Is an honorable
one. but he Is mt particularly fitted
by training and education for IN Of
fee which calls for some degree OF
familiarity with advanced ideas In
pedagogy. Senator Snntee has had
none of the advantages of the high,
err education, and he could not be ex-
pected to have the breadth of view so
necessary for the man ut the head Of
the educational system Of our State.
Mr. Shawkey, who entered the con-
test Mt the eleventh hour, is but lit
tie known here. He is from Kanawha
county In the southern part OF the
state, and Is known there as a hustler
and successful politician.
Mr.. Tough is a university man and
he has had first hand knowledge OF
the educational problem as It presents
itself in country schools, in the nor
mails and in the university. He is
young, active. versatile, resourceful.
and his life and character. are beyond
reproach. He would bring energy
and enthusiasm to his task, and he is
the only n of the three candidates
on the primary ticket In Monongalia
who, in my opinion has a. ghost OF q!
show to get DISCRIMINATION. earn
estly urge the claims OF Mr.. Tough
