$3.50 per month. with $50 per month,
or 81 per night, expenses, making
clear profit of $50 month to the own
err. The old plant burned to the

chased the plant a few months be-
fore, along with some financial aid
from the former patrons, to rebuild.

ing three floors, pays only $3.50 for
lights. More than forty lights alone

CURT CHARGES BEFORE THE BAR

TACOMA July I8.-Attorney Herbert
\. De Wolfe has written a letter to
resident j. B. Bridges of the state bar
ssociation asking that the association
onsder the charges made by De Wolfe
g1inst the state supreme court.
The charges De Wolfe would submit
TO the bar association are identical with
those he placed before the legislature,
which were referred to a committee OF
lawyers OF the lower house. Mr.. De
Wolfe has little hope of achieving any
thing through the legislative committee
and asks that President Bridges appoint
Il committee to look into the matter.
u would suggest" the letter saws.
that this committee be instructed that
should it find my charges well founded.
it request the supreme judges involved
to resign. and thus save the state the
enormous expense of impeachment pro
ceilings that should the judges in
volved refuse to resign that the com
mittee be instructed to make its find
ing7 public and transmit copies OF the
same to each branch of the legislature"

from your customers? If so, how large
is the percentage. What character Is it
from union agitators, who only come
to YOU to induce you to carry label hats.
or from workmen who would be bona
fde customers and who want the label?
DO You consider the union label in
hats necessary to your business If so,
Why
Can you do as much business without
the label as with il?
III the quality, grade for grade, is
better without the union label would
you carry all non-label hatsY
"Or would You carry a small proper
tion OF label hats to meet the demand 2
Ii the latter. and a union man should
insist that YOU carry only union hats,
what action would you take? .
Are your clerks organized If so, do
they influence you in favor of label

lSlature of 1907 through the ma
nipulation of corporate interests
that the aforesaid interests might
be assured of favorable decisions.
Be this true or not, it is fact
that the two members who We're
added to the bench by the passage
Of that act were invariably favor
able to the corporations when
handing down decisions involving
labOring interests and the corpor-
ations.
With the passage of the direct
primary law the people, it was
thought, would see that men were
placed upon the bench who We're
free from corporate leaningS and
that this would be the ultimate re-
suit was demonstrated by the
magnificent vote given to Judge
Humphries of Seattle although
opposed by the most powerful
portion of a partisan press of the
state and a powerful political CO.
terie. 1t is openly alleged that the
shameful act of the late legisla-
ture in which the nomination of
supreme court judges was placed
back in partisan convention was
the result of the manipula-
tion of the coporations that fear
ed the power of the people as eX-
pressed in Judge Humphries pop
ular vote at the last election. 1t
is certain that corporate interests
were satisfied with the makeup
of the supreme bench and feared
any change which would give to
the people a free voice in choos-
ing their judges.
While many people were far
from satisfied with the inveStiga-
tionS into the Judge Root scandal
because they did not believe the
probe went deep enough, it is
probable that the matter would
not have gone farther had not one
man had courage enough to pre-
sent the matter of investigating the
supreme court before the legiSla-
ture in such manner that it
could not be ignored This man
was Mr. .DeWolfe, formerly city
attorney for West Seattle. He
presented charges of SO grave a
nature that justice to the supreme
court as well as to the people of
the state demanded an investiga-
tion 1t is worthy of comment
that Representative Palmer of
King county, a former law part
ner of Judge Root and well
known corporation man, instant
ly flew to the defense of the ac-
cused justices and in boisterous
tones declared his intention of
seeing to it that diSbarment pro
ceedings were commenced against
Mr.. DeWolfe. A committee was
appointed of which Mr. Palmer
was made a member, to invest
gate the charges and report tC
the legislature. Here is another in
cident worthy Of comment; Tn,

SUPREME COURT OF THIS STATE UNDER FIRE
Decisions of Bench Favorable Corporations Pas-Attorney
Brings Charges Against August Trbunal-W Notable
locations Think of the Judiciary.

Is there one law for the rich
and another for the poor? Does
the supreme court of the state of
Washington willfully disregard
the rights of a majority of the
commonwealth at the dictation of
corporate interests? These are
some of the questions that are
agitating the minds of the people,
and not without cause. In view of
decisions handed down in yeas
past which favored the cOpora-
tions as against the people, it has
seemed that there was something
radically wrong with the courts,
but where? The people have been
and still are loath to impugn sin
lister motives to the members of
the supreme court and have char
itably charged it up against the
environments surrounding the
members of the bench and to an
acquired tendency of mind which
caused them to view the eases
brought before them from the
standpoint of the corporation
rather than of the people. The
idea that they might have yielded
to the corrupting influences of
gold and bartered their souls for
the sake of wealth and position
was abhorrent to the public mind.
1t was that charitable disposition
on the part of the people which
gave pity more than censure to
Judge Milo A, Root when the ju-
dicial scandal known as the Cor
don-RoOt affair spread its pail OF
blackness over the history of our
fair state. The majority of the
people even now do not believe
that Judge Root profited finan-
cially from the shameful act but
that he was the victim of his own
moral weakness when tempted by
his affection for a false friend.
But is that all !? Despite the search
ing investigation of the State Bar
association which gave to the
state its findings there is a con
viction in the minds of the people
of the state that we have not
reached the bottom but have
merely scratched the surface of
things in the search for wrongdo-
ing on the part Of the supreme
court. In private conversation
many attorneys have declared II
impossible to get square deal
from the supreme court in person
al damage eases. They may have
their own opinion as to the reason
for this, but very few attorneys
would venture to make public
their convictions on the subject
and risk the consequent ven
geance of the supreme court. They
have contented themselves there
fore with carefully worded in
nuendoes and occasional mutter-
ings of protest II has been al
legged that the supreme court was
increased in number by the leg
