leading republican daily in this

been crying for a rigid investiga-
ton into certain state offices and

CRATER on a charger, before this
committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges made by Mr.. De
Wolfe had scarcely begun its
work, in its editorial columns de
clared that this committee could
best serve the state by discontinue
ing their investigating as it was
evident that the charges We're
trivial 1t would seem that the Of
flee Of insurance commissioner
was far more important than the
supreme court. 1t is very improb-
able that this committee will Sc
cure any evidence that any men,
berS Of the supreme court ever
took any bribe for any decision
they have rendered. If there ever
were any considerations it
would be an extremely difficult
matter to prove But let a con
nection once be fixed i'm the pub
lie mind between the courts and
the corporations. the public draws
its own damaging conclusions
whether they be founded on fact
or not
1t is reported that the commit
tee has had submitted to it over
whelming evidence that i'm a Ger
tain case decided by the supreme
court in favor Of a great corpo-
ration vs., the city of West Seat
tie, that the court in deciding in
favor Of the corporation disre-
garded all law and precedent hav-
ing a bearing on the ease.
This is what gals the private
citizen and makes him scott at
courts and court procedure: That
what is decided to be good law in
the case Of John Doe, private citi-
zen is not good law at all in the
ease of Y. y. T., a corporation.
and vice versa. That there is ap-
parently one law for the rich and
another for the poor 1t is not law
itself, which means justice for all
men, but the perversion of law
that is responsible for the grow
ing hatred of court DEGREES. 1t is
a fact that the majority of the
people today when referring TO
courts and their decisions do not
attempt to hide their scorn, and
for this condition Of affairs the
courts are in a large measure to
blame. Justice is a concrete thing
which men recognize and honor,
and if it be lacking on the bench
whore men are chosen presumably
for their moral rectitude, it is
small wonder if men lose their re.
spect for the whole ponderous
machinery of law.

Christmas. the feast of Christ's birth,
observed by the Christian church
annually on the 18th of December. IL
was according to many authorities not
celebrated in the first centuries of the
Christian church, Is the Christian
usage In general was to celebrate the
death of remarkable persons rather
than their birth. The death Of the
martyr steven, and the massacre of
the innoccnts at Bethlehem, had been
already long celebrated. when, per-
haps ia opposition TO the doctrine oil
the Manicliacans respecting the birth
of the saviour. a feast was established
i'm of this event in the 18th
century. In the 9th century the
Western church ordered IL TO be celc.
bratcd forever on the day of the old
Roman feast, of the birth Of Sol. tho
no certain knowledge of the day OF
Christ birth existed. Among the
German aud Celtic tribes the winter
sulstice was considered an important
point of the year, aud they held their
chief festival of Nule to commemorate
the return of the burning wheel The
holly. the mistlctoe, the y ule log and
the wassail bowl relate more to pagan
ism than To Christianity
