the time it becomes effective a
very close idea of what the people

Germ for their property after the
city has condemned it and the
value thereof justly appraised.

phones and electric plants the peo-
pie would patronize every such
public utility with greater pleas

The Omniscience 81 of Our Courts

The superhuman wisdom of lawyers the moment
they get on the bench is tradition of Ameri-
can ife One can lambaste the lawyers all he pleas
es but as they become judges they are above
criticism. This is as it should be.
The omniscience of our courts is shown by re-
cent decision of the supreme court of Vrginia-and
there is a story in it.
Years ago Mayor McCue of Charlottesville muir
dered his wife, He was tried and convicted and
hanged. He had in his prosperous days insured his
hfe presumably for the benefit of his family rather
than for any selfish purpose. But when he was
hanged, the insurance companies, some of them,
resisted the payment of the policies on the ground
that payment under such circumstances would be
an encouragement of murder, and therefore against
public policy!
Now man. with only human WISDOM would
have said 'Rats!o The mere man would have said
that the assured would be able to find some more
direct way of getting the avas of his insurance in
to the hands of the people he loved and wished to
benefit, than by numbering their mamma and
trusting to the courts to hang him for it,
But the grave and reverend seniors the
preme bench of Virginia pierce through the faacy
of the man who remarks 'Rats!'' with supreme
wisdom that commands reverence. "NO," say
the court "to let these babies have this money
THAT HAS BEEN PAID INTO THE GOLFERS
OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THEIR
BENEFIT - would induce crime. We in
the awful future saturnaia of battle, murder and
sudden death if whose lives insured find out
that they get their insurance money for their
loved ones by the simple process of getting them
selves hanged Of course to do this would
have to love the beneficiary of the policy very dear
ly but that's the very danger Our people love their
children and wives very dearly. Therefore they
would revel in murder for their sakes. The loving
est the murderousest. It's clear that these
babies must go without the money their father paid
in for them. Let it go to other babies whose faith
ers have not been hanged. Decision for the defend
ant!'
Daniel come to Judgment whole Old Do
minion benchful of Daniels!
Isn't it fine to think that the brains of our courts
work along those lines? Wouldn't you think
honestly, now-that the buffers had emptied the
mush into the skulls of their honors that morning.
if you didn't know that such an operation was ply
scaly difficult?
And-oh, no! Don't tell us that it's Jim Grow
state court that did this thing. The United States
supreme court decided the sort of the
way years ago, and it is still the law of that
great tribunal.
1t is only fair to say that the Illinois supreme
court-made up of elective judges, and not gifted
with the supreme wisdom of the federal courts re-
Gently gave the babies the funds that had been
bought for them. They say that the other decisions
"border closely upon the absurd
Absurd? Heavens-they are either abyssmay
idiotie, or too wise for the ordinary mind!

A SPHINX-LIKE
COuRTSHIP

Bill Dillon prided himself on
being the most silent man in Web
ster county. Compared with Mr..
Dillon, an oyster was as a steam
calliope and a clam as a German
cornet band. There were not more
than three men in Springfield
who had heard Bill say four words
at time. One of these is Alb
Duggins, who declares that when
the court house and town hall
burned Bill remarked Its a right
smart blaze"
Bill met Olive at a lawn fete
given by the Enoch fuckers. Bill
had been sitting for an hour I'M

and saying yea or nay to no one.
When the hostess introduce /
Olive, he did not even acknowledge
the honor.

said Olive. "You know, I just dote

the wind first begins to rustic the
turning leaves. Don't you think
it is perfect, Mr.. Dillon?"
Nope" grunted Mr.. Dillon.
whats that?" asked Miss
Duncan, surprised at the contra
diction, but Bill would not repeat.
Then she deliberately set to
work to draw him out. What
possible drawback is there, Mr..
Dillon? Why don't you agree with
me? Why don't you think these
nights are perfect?"
Bill waited until the cat was
whitfield. "Nothin's perfect" he
replied, as a great concession.
Bill was a novelty for Miss
Duncan; and she sat and told him
of her childhood and early say
ings, of her birthstone, religious
belief and favorite chocolates, of
the big time she had at the Simp-
son county fair, and of the deli
cious novel by Bertha M. Clay she
was then reading. while Bill whit
tied successfully a rabbit, a boot
jack and an Attorney cow. But
when she departed he called out
Good night" which was the first
time in his placid life that had SO
honored a woman.
Next day he appeared at
olives home with a pink, gilt
corded box, which he handed to
Miss Duncan. When she opened
it, fat, cone-shaped chocolates
nestled inside.
"Oh, such delicious bonbons!
How good of you to remember me,
Mr.. Dillon! How can l ever thank
you!"
Bill was whiting an Angora
goat at the time, and as 1t was
rather a delicate piece of work
did not answer. AS he passed out
the gate, however, he hesitated

Olive liked 1t because he was

Dear Sir: You strike my SEN
timents exactly in regard to the
money barrel and corporation
rule. l think it high time that
the people were getting their eyes
open and vote them down and out,
not only in national affairs, but
at home as well. Political graft
has been more of a curse to the
common people in the last ten
years than all of the gambling in
Wall street, and l for one will vote
against them every time, and, Mr..
Editor, l want to say right here
that l have been a resident and
taxpayer of Pierce county for
