vicinity which would in any way mili- tate against the principle expounded in this opinion, though 1t may be pos sible that some men having influence in the militia organizations are using it to the detriment of the trade union movement. As say, I do not know of your local conditions, but as you have requested an opinion, I believe in frankly giving one to you.
 This question to my mind is one which bias or misunderstanding would make difficult in its application, but there seems to me to be no; logical groundi for the assumption that trade unionist can not be a member of a militia company. The trade union movement, as you know, stands firm ly for the principle of arbitration and peace; between nations, and it is fact that until a universal peace pact or. arbitration plan has pee,l. adopted by the nations of the earth, 1t will be necessary for the protection of the interests of the people that organiza- itions of militia be established. The chief purpose of the militia organi- zations, therefore, in the state is not to be used in times of peace for spe- cial interests or in difficulties, but to keep at the command of the nation it. self a =well-drilled and thoroughly equipped system of defense in case of invasion. by foreign power.
 Assuring you that this is a frank expression of personal opinion, based upon a somewhat limited knowledge, I am.

tables upon Prosecutor Pugh by de- manding that J. H. Peiletier, stenogra- pher and deputy prosecuting attorney be cited for contempt of court. Judge Huneke entered the order, appointing Frank T Post, counsel for Gordon, to prosecute the charge. The case will be heard some time this month and a lively legal battle is expected to re- suit.
 An interesting sidelight is cast upon the case by the supreme court of Washington declaring in a three to two opinion that there was nothing to review when Prosecutor Pugh appear ed before that tribunal recently for a decision permitting the state to in stall an official reporter in the grand jury room during the investigations of the Gordon and other cases. Am other is that when F.

 Prosecutor Pugh also plans to call for another venire so that the second grand jury can be impanelled early in June, or within twenty-four hours after the present Jury is dismissed under the law not later than June 10 The. present statute is interpreted to specify that jury may sit not more than three months following the date of its impanelling.

Tucson, Arizona.

Dear Sir:-Responding to your fav- or of the .4th, I beg to say that am not empowered to express an opinion on behalf or our organization on the subject mentioned in your letter.
 Personally, however, 1 desire to say that I believe that organized labor has remained separate from the va rious city militias and National Guards long enough. I recognize that the organization of the above bodies is not only for the welfare of the country as a whole, but an absolute necessity for the preservation of our liberties. and for the purpose of pro- viding citizens to assume charge of any affairs that it may be hereafter necessary to organize in order to de- fend our. country from foreign foe. Hence, I never lose an opportunity of advising our members not only to cultivate the acquaintance of, but wherever possible, to become active members of the organizations referred to.
 Yours very truly,

 NATIONAL GUARD
Captain Martin of Tucson Elicits Pa triotic Response From Leaders.

At the time of the organization of the present National Guard compan- nies at Tucson, it was asserted that labor unions were opposed to the en- Istment of their members, owing to the frequent employment of state troops in labor disturbances. In order that the attitude of the leaders of trades unionism might be known, let ters were addressed by Captain An- drew P. Martin, of Company K, Ma tional Guard of Arizona to Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor and to the heads of some of the most powerful labor organizations. The replys are ap- pended were printed in the current number of the National Guard maga- zine; they are self explanatory:
 From Samuel Gompers-
 Replying to your favor of the 4th inst. in which you ask for my opinion on the relations of the militia to labor, I beg to say a man who is a wage earner and honorabiy working at his trade or calling to support himself and those dependent upon him, has not only the right to become citizen soldier, but that right must be un- questioned.
 The militia, l. e., the citizen soldiery of the United States and the large standing armies of many European countries is the difference between a republic and a monarchy-it is the difference between the conception Of liberty and tyranny.
 While organized labor stands against the arbitrament of interna- tional or internal disputes by force of arms, yet we must realize we have alt yet reached the millennium; that in the age in which we live we have not the choice between armed force and absolute disarmament, but the alter native of a large standing army and a small one supplemented by volun- teer citizen soldiery-the militia of our several states.
 With this, both wisdom and policy as well as principle should warrant our trade unions in not taking any cognizance of the matter at all, allow ing each member to follow the bent of his own inclinations, insisting only that he shall be a wage -earner, a faithful member of the union, and

EXTRAORDINARY CASE
 0f JUDICIAL TUMBL|NG
Chief Justice of Washington State and Member of the Supreme Bench Indicted For Grimes.

Spokane, Wash, May 19.-(Special correspondence of The Republican, Unprecedented in the annals of legal jurisprudence in the United States is the chain of incidents following the resignation of Milo A Root, as judge of the supreme court of Washington, and leading to the indictment by the grand jury of Spokane county of Mer- ritt J. Gordon, formerly chief justice of this state and until recently coun- sel for the Great Northern Railway company. There are six indictments against Gordon. One charges him with issuing a worthless check, drawn for s2S,5O7.43, in payment of the com pany's taxes in Stevens. county, Wash ington,. and five true bills" aliege the embezzlement of moneys to the amount of S39,62649 from the com pany in 1908, while its attorney. Cor don pleaded not guilty when ar raigned before Judge Hinkel, and is at liberty under bonds of $30,000 pending the trials in June.
 The Gordon case has peculiar rami- fications. extending from Olympia, the state, capital, on the west, to St Paul the head offices of the railway com pany, on the east. Gordon left the company's employ last fall, going to Tacoma, and afterward there were rumors he had embedded sS0OOO of his employers funds. Judge Roots name was linked with these rumors, which became so persistent that the chief justice brought the matter to the attention of his colleagues and the state bar association It was openly stated that Gordon had writ ten an opinion, approved by the chief solicitor of the Great Northern Rail- way company. which was handed down by Root as a decision in an inn portant case. The ruling had vital bearing on personal damage suits against railroad and other corpora tions.
 Judge Root resigned under fire, pleading 'indiscretion of friendship but denying he had received a penny for permitting the railroad opinion to become part of the supreme courts s records At the hearing before the bas association a mass of document ary evidence came to light showing that Root had acted for and received numerous favors f.om Gordon, in- cluding transportation over the com pany's line. These disclosures were followed by the calling of the grand jury in Spokane county to investigate the shady deals in which it was al- legged that Gordon figured.
 There was more than the usual diff ficulty in securing the requisite num-

Der of inquisitors. Finally the jury was organized under the foremanship of Benjamin F. Davis.
 Fred c. Pugh, prosecuting attorney of Spokane county was eager to ob- tain a complete record of the testi- mony before the jurors, so he made formal demand for the attendance of a stenographer Judge William E.. Huneke denied this request, also de- claring that no notes should be taken by an outsider. J. H. Pelletier, court stenographer, was appointed a deputy prosecuting attorney and has been present at each session of the grand jury te date.
 Among the witnesses summoned to give evidence in the Gordon investfga- tion were Judge E. Henry Sullivan of the Spokane county superior court his brother, Potter Charles Sullivan of Seattle and Nulten E. Nuzum of Spokane. They discussed their testi- mony after leaving the grand jury room and were promptly haled before Judge Huneke for contempt of court. They admitted talking about their tes- timony, notwithstanding that Foreman

 Frank Graves, attorney and state senator, appearing for MT. Nuzum, de- clared that the court never made an order about secrecy of testimony. ad- ding. and if 1t had, it is utterly without power to enforce obedience to 1t. As an American citizen I cannot have my right of free speech abridged by the order of any court or the eau tion of the foreman of grand jury" Charles $. Voorhees,, son of the late United States Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, who defended Judge Sullivan, said that the caution by the foreman of the jury was impertinent as no written or unwritten law would sus- tain such a contention, while MT. Sul- livan, who pleaded in his own behalf said that he and MT. Nuzum appear ed as counsel for Gordon and he had the right to discuss his testimony with any one. and" he added, mo court or judge or legislature has the power to enforce an order of secrecy
 Judge Huneke took the cases under advisement after Don F. Riser, depu-. ty prosecuting attorney had insisted upon the court inflicting punishment then and there. Judge Huneke hand ed down an opinion virtually uphold ing the contentious of the defendants and saying that the court had been unable to find anything pesring upon the cases under consideration.
 Counsel for Gordon then turned the

Despite this fact, however, the com pany is making no attempt to assist the state in probing the matter, but instead is doing everything it is pow CT to cover up these crimes
 MT. Pugh said in the. course of an interview that the state is powerless to compel MT. Hill ana his immediate subordinates to obey the process of the courts of Washington, but" he added, unless they recognize the moral obligation imposed by the ser vice of the subpoenas, I shall see to it that they do not visit the state during my term of office unless they come secretly like fugitives. There are reasons that they fear disclosures which Gordon might make should he think these will aid him in his de- fense and believe that is why they are assisting him in every way in the withholding and suppression of evil denoe against him."

 P. O. Box POT, Tucson, Arizona. Dear Sir:-I am in. receipt of your esteemed favor of the 4th, answer to which has been unayoidably delayed owing to. my absence from the city. You request in your communication my opinion on the question of militia organizations and their relations to labor. l would say that I believe that it is consistent with good trade union- ism and good citizenship for a mem Der of trade union if he so desires to belong to the militia I am aware that there have been a number of opinions expressed in the past by some in and some out of the trade union movement that trade unionist who joined the militia and was a member of the militia, could not con sistently do his duty to his union ard to his state. This position to mS mind is one that is absolutely un- tenable. as I am firmly of the opinion
  that a trade unionist is always a bet ter citizen, and I can not see for an instant how his connection with the militia would effect either the status of his citizenship or his loyalty to his union. The principles for which the trade union movement stand are those which are for the betterment of the state and which work for the betterment of the common good. In fact, the trade union movement is one of the geratest factors in the up- building and maintenance Of the state and its institutions.
 You state in your communication that you request this information ow- Ing to the agitation in Tucson against militia organizations and their rela- ton to labor I am not personally aware of any local conditions in your
