trayed the various characters OF this
interesting story precludes description"

court in the second judicial district
Since the movement of three years
ago for the removal of the county
seat to Hoquiam, Aberdeen has acted
more than fair with the former city,
and the Herald is ignorant of soli-
tary act by this city that could be
construed as bad faith.
Could the same be said of Ho-
quiam, the county seat would have
been in that city two years ago, and
had not underhand intrigues been at
courthouse, that city might have de-
served more consideration at the
hands Of the commissioners, but as
it is, our sister city has forfeited all
claims to sympathy in that regard
The attack on the constitutionality
of the law was but the finale of a
long record of treachery to Aber-
deen-and the best interests of Grays
Harbor-including Hoquiam. The
attorney who discovered such glaring
constitutional defects in the judicial
district law, was present at all those
committee meetings, took an active
part in the effort to land the court
in his city without a suspicion of
anything wrong with the law, until
the commissioners-acting without
solicitation on the part of Aberdeen
took the location out of the hands
Of the representative committees Of
the two cities. The less Hoquiam has
to say Of bad faith, the less light
Of publicity will be thrown upon its
own shady actions in this whole
courthouse matter.

THE NEW CRIMINAL CODE
Is Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Section Seven Would Turn Back
Clock Of Progress.
Editor of Herald:

Editor or Herald:
The caustic comments in an article
in your paper of late date on TAX
Sales" wherein the conclusion is
reached, Great is the science of law
making" recalls to mind another
chunk of legislative wisdom passed
by the late aggregation of states
men at Olympia, viz:
Section Z of Criminal Code, Laws
of 1909, is as follows:
''It shall be no defense to a per-
son charged with the commission of
a crime that at the time of it's COM
mission he was unable by reason of
his insanity, idiocy or imbecillity to
comprehend the nature and quality
of the act committed, or to under
stand that it was wrong; or that he
was afflicted with morbid propen-
sity to commit prohibited acts; nor
shall any testimony or other proof
thereof be admitted in evidence?"
This act certainly delighted the
spirit of Cotton Mather, of Salem
witchcraft fame; who two hundred
years ago frequently entered the
theological prize ring and slugged
Colonel Satan for monkeying with
the religious buzz-saw. Occasionally
he would take a day off and have a
few witches hung, just to straighten
things out. He preached that in
sanity was demoniacal possession; /;
and was manifestation of the devil
and his imps who took possession of
the souls of men. In the dark ages
knowledge was in an eclipse and le-
gions afflicted with insanity, were
burned whiles praises were sung to
God.
This late law is manifestly the pro-
duct of minds keenly alive to the
much abused defense of insanity, SO
often interposed by lawyers in muir
der cases, notably in the Thaw case.
Other defenses too, are overworked,
as Self-defenSe, the higher law,
alibi and others. Society is hardly
prepared to abolish money, because
it is counterfeited; nor to put
Christians under ban because of the
blight of countless hypocrites.
The boasted progress Of science in
mental diseases during the last hum
dred years, applied by the greatest
judicial minds in criminal cases. may
after all, only be an illusion, snare
and mistake. At any rate, let us
be patient and see If the wise men
assembled at Olympia really did turn
back the clock of evolution two
hundred years.

THESPEC|AL SESSION
OF LEGISLATURE OPENS With A
BITTER FACTIONAL fight.
The Old Line-Up of the "Wets" and
"Drys" Prepare for the Fray
Ruth Is Chosen President of the
Senate, and neigs Speaker of the
House.

OLYMPIA, June 23. - When the
eleventh legislature of the state met
in session extraordinary today to
consider the report of the special leg
islative investigating committee that
has been probing into state offices
and to hear the message of Governor
Hay, President A. S. Ruth of Thurs
ton county was again chosen presi-
dent of the senate, while Leo o.
Meigs of Yakima was retained as
speaker of the house.
Bitter fights were made against
both men. In the senate the friends
Of H. A. Rosenhaupt of Spokane lost
by vote of 21 to 10, two being alb
sent when Booth of King, who was
in the chair, ruled the senate was
organized and ready for business, and
was sustained.
For two hours the fight in the
house waged back and forth merrily.
The representatives called each other
names and was only ended when
Speaker Meigs from the chair asked
that his resignation be accepted, and
1t was refused by vote Of 43 to A..
While the house was in the midst
OF bitter wrangle over whether it
was proper to elect a new speaker or
not, or whether the body was already
organized, T. J. Bell of Pierce, who
was in the chair, declared he had
been informed that the senate con-
sidered reorganization unnecessary;
that. therefore, he held likewise, and
called Mr.. Meigs to the chair. Be-
fore anyone was aware of what had
happened Meigs had taken the oath
of office and then the storm broke.
Various representatives made talks
amid cheers, hooting, handclapping
and catcalls, and even Kisses came
from the floor and the gallery until
the sergeant-at-arms was instructed
to preserve order.
At last the denunciations of the
"high-handed method and gag"
rule" were so strong that Megis said
he would resign.
This threw the friends of J. w.
Slayden, the opposition candidate,
on the defense, and Meigs' resigna-
tion was rejected on the first roll
call Of the day.
The house set three house bills
passed by the last legislature and
vetoed as a special order for Janu-
ary, 1911, but the senate will take up
its three vetoed bills tomorrow after
noon at 2 o'clock.
At O'Clock the house and senate
met in joint session in the house
chambers and listened to the read
ing of the special message of Gov
ernor Hay by the governor himself.
The lineup in the senate is the
same old "wet" and dry" with the
liberal element in the saddle with
two votes to spare. The absentees
are Piper of King, who is i'll, and
Mtcalf of Pierce, who is in the east
