Mysterious birds once More.

Readers of the Capital will remem-
Der that this paper last winter noted
the arrival of great flocks Of birds
that were unknown here, but came
without warning and departed as sud-
denly. They lived entirely in orchards
while here, feasting on the apples that
remained on the trees and those they
could find on the ground. Last Sun
day the same mysterious visitors
reached the valley and once more pro-
ceeded to make themselves at home in
an endeavor to get fat on a dried
apple diet."-Ellensburg Capital.

Technicalities and the Courts.

Time-Democrat.
The eminent Southern educator
was accustomed to inform his pu-
pills that common law is common
sense" This may Or may not have
been true when it vas uttered, but
it is certainly not true in these days
or our brand of law has become un
common. Recently there has been
much criticism, althoughwe are taught
that the courts should not be critised,
of the decision of the California
Court that Ruef and Schmitz should
escape punishment because the in
dictments did not describe with tech
meal accuracy that Schmitz was a
mayor and Reuf was a political boss.
Philadelphia papers are protest
ing because the courts of that State
have declared in the rapid transit
case that a ''charge of fare" is not
a crate of fare and that the price
of a ticket is not a s'charge" or a
regulation There was amazing
logic. according to the North Ameri-
can, in the Tustin pure food law
decision, that whereas the entire
workable substance of the law is
unconstitutional, the Intellectual and
unenforceable sections of the law
must stand, though they render
nugatory a previous statute which
the Legislature was trying to strength
en- in the interest of consumers OF
food. Thus not only IA an act
of the Legislature nullifed, but that
body was required to pass a law
directly contrary to its purpose and
to destroy an enactment which it
considered wise, but not sufficiently
strong.
Many decisions along similar lines
have been criticised recently, but it
is needless to refer to all # them.
In a Southern State some years ago
a miscreapt who deserved the gal
lows escaped with slight imprison-
ment because an Indictment read
sagainst the peace and dignity OF
the State.n when the offense was
statutory, one at common law. The
public was recently informed through
the news columns of this paper that
q convicted CRATER in Missouri
who was caught with marked money,
and of whose guilt there was moi
the slightest doubt. was a victim OF
injustice and was entitled to a new
trial because in transcribing the
indictment the stenographer of the
court accidently dropped the umim-
portant word ''the" and the offense
read ''against the peace and dignity
of State"
These sorts of decisions are fas,
bringing the courts into contempt
and must result in much worse unless
a change is brought about. Coke
declared that reason was the life O
the law, but reason has little to de
with many court decisions. Sensi
