Why is it that corporation lawyers rule take keen
interest in judicial conventions?
Why is it that in republican judicial districts the big
corporation lawyers, rule republicans9 And in
democratic judicial districts they democratsi
Is it because there is connection between politics
and their profession?
If judges elected partisan tickets they must first
be nominated at party conventions AS these conventions
usually controlled by machine Bosses the judicial
didates are picked by the bosses.
Corporations that want special privilege have habit OF
contributing to the campaign funds Of political parties
Do they make their contributions through their lawyers
and thus put the bosses under obligations these awyers
Is that why those lawyers generally Influential in
judicial conventions!
It is known that in the days when nearly all judges
gafers at least to the extent of accepting railroad passe
the railroads handed out the passes through their lawyers
Did the judges feel of obligation when those
pass giving distributing lawyers appeared in court
and said, IF your honor please''f
1t matter of history that Boss Cox of Cincinnati sent
for circuit judges Cox had nominated and asked them b
decide in favor of his friends-and it meant big
pile Of money to those friends if the judges decided
Cox ordered them to decide
Are bosses any different in other judicial districts and
other statesf
Can the average feel of getting justice in
courts whose judges get the ench by the favor of
bosses who accept campaign contributions from Special
Privilege?
Does Special Privilege contribute literally to party
chimes for the fun of the thing?
Or every dollar thus contributed cOldblooded in
vestment that is expected to bring large returns by
of special privileges?
Wouldn't it be better to have non-partisan judiciary
to take the peoples courts out Of partisan potcsto
free the bench from all obligation to special interests and
make all judges free to make law justice and give
every a square deal in the courts?
Think it The interests of all whom YOU hold
dear in this life may depend day upon the decision
of Judge. Won't YOU be of justice if that judge
is a free Judge in free court?

He went to bed, but it was
long time before he fell asleep. IT
seemed to him that he had scarcely
closed his eyes when pounding on
the door aroused him and he awoke
to find the early light Of dawn
creeping through the narrow win
dow of his room. A few minutes
later he Joined Gregson, who was
ready for breakfast.

ing" he greeted. AS they seated
themselves at the table, he added,
I've changed my mind since last
night, Rowland. I'm not going
back with you. It's absolutely un-
necessary, for Thorne can put you
on to everything at the camp, and
I'd rather lose six months salary
than take that sledge ride again.
You won't mind, will your"
Rowland hunched his shoulders.
ITO be honest, Gregson, l don't
believe you'd be particularly cheer
full company. What sort of fellow
is the driver?"
"We call him Jackpine-a Cree
Indian-and he's the one faithful
slave of Thorne and myself at We
kusko. Hunts for us, cooks for us,
and watches after things generally.
You'll like him all right"
Rowland did. When they went
out to the sledge after their break
fast he gave Jackpine hearty grip
of the hand and the Cree's dark
face lighted up with something
like pleasure when he saw the en-
thusiasm in the young engineers
eyes. When the moment for part
ing came Gregson pulled his COM
panion a little tc one side. His
eyes shifted nervously and How
land saw that he was making a
strong effort to assume an indif-
ference which was not at all Greg
sons natural self.

you know this is pretty rough
country up here-some tough peo-
pie In 1t, who wouldn't mind cut
ting a mans throat or sending a
bullet through him for good team

ing you this SO you'll be on your
guard. Have Jackpine watch your

He spoke in low voice and cut
himself short when the Indian ap-
preached. Rowland seated himself
in the middle of the six-foOt tobog-
gan, waved his hand to Gregson,

Jackpine started his dogs on trot
down the street, running close be-
side the sldege. Rowland had
lighted cigar, and leaning back in
a soft mass of furs began to enjoy
his new experiments hugely. Day
was just fairly breaking over the
forests when they turned into the
white trail, already beaten hard by
the passing of many dogs and
sledges, that led from LIE Pas for a
hundred miles to the camp of the
Wekusko. AS they struck the trail
the dogs strained harder at their
traces, with Jackpine's whip curl
ing and swapping over their backs
until they were leaping swiftly and
with unbroken rhythm OF motion
over the snow. Then the Cree

nlflcent brutes ahead of him; he
watched the muscular play Of their
back and legs, the eager out-feach-
ing OF their wolfish heads, their
half-gaping jaws, and from them he
looked at Jackpine. There was no

the dogs finally stopped at the foot
of a huge ridge, painting and half
exhausted, Rowland quickly leaped
from the sledge and for the first
time spoke to the Indian.
That was glorious, Jackpine!"
he cried. "But, good Lord, man,
you'll kill the dogs!"
Jackpine grinred.
They go sixt' mile in day lax

Sixty miles!"
In his admiration for the welfish
looking beasts that were carrying
him through the wilderness How
land put out hand to stroke one
of them on the head. With a warn

just as the dog snapped freely at
the extended hand.

"Wow!" exclaimed Rowland
"And they're the sweetest looking

He was dead tired when night
came. And yet never in all his
life had he enjoyed day so much
as this one. Twenty times he had
joined Jackpine in running beside
the sledge. In their intervals OF
rest he had even learned to snap
the 30-foot caribou-gut lash of the
dog-whip. He had asked hundred
questions, had insisted on Jack
pines smoking cigar at every
stop, and had been SO happy and so
altogether companionable that half
Of the Cree's hereditary reticence
had been swept away before his un-

build their balsam shelter for the

The first voyage of the new battleship-

This voyage will be watched with keen
interest by both politicians and naval

great impression on the inhabitants of

navy that has shown the German flag In

The naval authorities will watch the
voyage with special interest. This is the
