"Im a religious man myself you
understand" he said as he walked
into Prosecutor Geior's Office, consid
erably aroused. But is a man sup
posed to listen to his neighbor play

1 o'clock I'm the morning? Huh?

does and my children go to Sunday
school. and ! think I'm just as good
a man as he is, If l do say it myself
But this is going too far. He isn't
even a good singer. Honest. he's got
an awful voice"
The neighbor, it seems, gets up at
4 or and starts long hymns every
morning, accompanying himself on
the organ. Geier refused to order an
arrest.
"All can suggest is a counter irri
tant," he said. Noting the look Of
surprise, he exclaimed you get up
a little earlier and start phorO-

PERVERTED NOTIONS
OF THE JUDICIARY

School, Discusses the Subject.

Dean Trickett, Of the Dickinson Law
School, Discusses the Subject.
Dr. William Trickett, dean Of the
Justly celebrated Dickinson law school.
doesn't share the absurd notions OF
the bench that some Of his colleagues
at the bar are endeavoring to foster.
But he has a much better idea on the
subject. which he expressed in an in
teryiew the other day. 1T is neces
sary," Dean Trickett observed, mot
only that we shall have honest judges,
but judges In whose honesty and
knowledge Of the law the people shall
believe"
In another part of the interview he
said: Il believe that the very first
step toward making a new system
should be the selection of honest
judges. Not that there aren't many
honest judges on the bench at pres
ent, but unfortunately there are too
many in whom the people do not have
confidence"
Dean Trickett must have had the
present judicial contest in this state
in mind when he made those observs.
tions. Senator Quay cast an indelihle
stain on the judiciary of Pennsylvania
a few years ago when in an open let.
ter to Justice Brown, Of the supreme
court, he declared that unfit men had
been "catapaulted" on to that bench
as a reward for partisan service
That is precisely the present situa-
49,
served the machine by making an alb
surd decision affirming the constitu.
tionalIty OF an act In palpable violation
of the organic law, and his nomination
is the reward. If the people of the
state would preserve the integrity Of
the bench they will refuse to ratify
this bargain between corrupt machine
politicians and judges of elastic con
sciences.
Judge Trickett expresses some other
views on the question In point worthy
Of remembrance. He says:
The acts of the Judges should be
criticized, not only as freely as those
of other public servants. but even
more freely. The public should keep
a closer watch on them than on any
other class OF Otncials.
A Judge should have every protee-
ton that any other citizen has against
attacks on his character. He should
have an action for libel. and that is all
he needs. There is no reason why he
should have the power to Issue a war
rant for a man who has criticised his
public acts and summarily put him in
prison.
The courts expand and contract the
constitution TO suit the whlms Of the
individuals who happen to be on the
bench at the time.
The income tax is a case in point
The principle involved had been re.
peatedly adjudicated over a period of
seventy years. and the government
had collected under these decisions
something like s400 100000.
II wasn't until 1894 that the supreme
court discovered that the income tax
was unconstitutional. Then It was by
divided court. as is nearly always the
case when a constitutional question is
involved.

How Many Settlers Lived While Get
TING Their Claims.

1oN many settlers Lived Wnhe Oet-
ting Their Claims.
The pioneers Of Kansas win never
forget the buffalo bone age" When
central and southwestern Kansas
we're settled the prairie was strewn
with buffalo bones. Those we're hard
times in Kansas and the gathering of
those bones enabled the early set
tiers to live while they were getting
their claims broken out for the pro
ducing of crops.
Nine-tenths of the pioneers of that
section of Kansas-and there weren't
very many at that-had literally
nothing but a team and a few house
hold goods that they had hauled from
the East in a single wagon. OF course
there we're no buffalo. for this was in
the late '7Os. but their bones strewed
the plains, and these bones were the
only thing that had a commercial
value and they we're utilized. They
we're hauled IN great wagonloads to
the nearest railway, often from sixty
to one hundred miles away, and sold.
The horns were the more valuable
and they went first, but the rest OF the
skeleton soon followed. There were
no fortunes made by these early bone
hunters, for a large load Of buffalo
bones brought only from IS to So at
the railroad towns. but the proceeds
from load enabled the settler to buy
a little flour. coffee and occasionally
meat and lumber.

COPPER EXPORTS LARGER.

A feature of the copper metal situa-

ing the recent heavy liquidation OF
the metal in London, resulting in a
sharp decline in the price, the in
quiry from that quarter continues
active and each week the shipments
to the United Kingdoms are large.
For the week ending June 10, the
shipments to England amounted to
$~6,2S2,340 pounds, while those to
Germany were 5,921,955. Austria
received a considerable amount of
the American metal, consignments to
that country amounting to ~2,230,39o
pounds Another feature has been
the inquiry from Denmark, a coun-
try that has not figured in receipts of
the metal for some time past.
The shipments to France show a
decided falling off compared with
the preceding weeks. The total
