woman's letter to him. He looked
hard at the attorneys and declared
that the letter was contempt that
he could not tolerate. He made a
fine showing of traditional dignity
at which the lawyers who quibble
before him daily, at great expense
to taxpayers and clients alike,
smiled.
Why's Because in that same
court house as in all other court
houses of the country through all
these past years, many interfer-
ences, many coverings-up of facts,
many turnings-asides and delays
and defeats of justice under the
court rules that the judges have
helped to construct The courts"
are slaves of precedent even more
than other lawyers and because a
rule is adapted by some Judge for
a particular reason at some par
ticular time, every other Judge is
predisposed to follow it.
The progressive thought of the
country is in rebellion against the
false dignity against which the
Judge poses and reposes, some of
them, while the judicial machine
over which they preside is being
used a large part of the time by
officers of the court to hide and
suppress and cover up and miscon-
strue the facts and to battle and
delay the justice the law is sup
posed to guarantee.
In many of the court trials there
is conspiracy to defeat justice and
in most of these cases the judges
know where the conspiracy is, who
the conspirators are, and what the
interest is that is behind the con-
spiracy. And yet with what calm
ness and equanimity of judicial
liberation these conspiracies 60 on

When Courts Should Frown

Over in Nebraska the other day
a district Judge frowned fiercely
and brought the proceedings of
the court to a sudden stop as he
glowered at a letter handed him by
the bailiff, says the Sioux City
Tribune.
As appeared from the letter a
poor woman was trying to tell the
Judge something she knew that
she thought he ought to know
about the case pending before the
court. The woman who was sick
at her home and who sent the
letter by her husband was not try
ing to interfere. She was trying
to help. In her innocence she
thought court trials were for the
purpose of getting at the facts.
She did not know that under the
court system in this country a
large proportion of the time and
money spent in court trials is for
the purpose of covering up, cover
ing and excluding rather than for
bringing out facts. The Nebraska
Judge frowned tiercely and glared
at the bailiff who handed the

Things Doing at Capa

The little city of Capa is on the
verge of greatness. While the
other portions of the country have
been standing still, from a real es-
tate point of view, Capa land has
been on the move. The reason is
to be found in the artesian we'll at
that place. A man named Samuel
Wood saw wonderful possibilities
in this water and has been making
the best of his time to corral some
good business. Last week MIR.
Wood closed a deal whereby he
came into possession of a 4O-acre
tract adjoining the townsite. Here
he will put down another artesian
well and erect a sanitarium. He
will use the water, which possess
es highly medical properties, for
baths, utilize the gas for illumina-
ting and heating purposes. Be-
sides all this Mr.. Wood intends to
experiment with chicken Matching
and raising by using the water at
its natural temperature. The
Capa we'll is an exception still
further in that the water is as
soft as rain water. Since Mr..
Wood commenced his pre- ject there
have been a large number of
people buying land and business
sites in and about the town and
several new families are moving
in. Midland Mail.

In the Looking Glass

j. ID. Rainey, of the Philip Re-
view, was in Wall last Saturday
soliciting legal blank work. Mr.
Rainey is sure giving the people
of Philip a good live newspaper,
and the business men are showing
their appreciation of the same by
giving that paper the loyal support
it deserves. We think the Philip
Review, editorially and mechani-
cally, is the best weekly that
comes to our exchange table. -

and for more than thirty years
have used tongue and pen to dis
suade them from going there. We
have toiling masses in the country
as well as in the cities and very
often their eight-hour day consists
of eight hours before noon and
eight hours after noon, pitching
hay under broiling sun and haul
ing the same hay to the stock be-
fore the twenty-below. zero blasts
of winter through four-foot snow
drifts.
''In the last three months have
seen thousands of stacks of un-
threshed wheat, thousands Of
acres of unshucked corn in the
fields and thousands of stacks of
unbaled hay, simply because the
farmers could not obtain the labor
to thresh, husk and bale. The
losses which accrue from this con-
dition must inevitably fall upon
the consumer of farm produce in
the end, for Jones pays the freight.
| am heartily in accord with the
movement for getting the unem-
ployed or those who are not pro-
titably employed in the cities. back
to the farms, but | must confess
that l have my doubts rs to the
success of such a movement, for
several reasons.
IF l were talking to an audience
of city people on the topic, back
to the farm would candidly tell
them that it took a great deal more
brains and sweat to produce spuds,
wheat and hay, milk, butter and
eggs, than it does to measure calico,
wrap up clothes pins, weigh out
prunes, count dried herring by the
cents worth, or even to stand be-
hind the desk of a hotel and sing
out front" OF course, many of
these people come from the farms
and have some general idea of
farm work, but agriculture and
agricultural methods have changed
SO much in the last ten years that
the man who knew pretty well how
to farm in 1900 is back number
in 1910.
1 want to see the movement
from country to town stopped and
would welcome a return to the
country of men and women who
would earnestly try to make homes
for themselves; but | want to warn
the city man who expects to come
out to the country and then sit
do wn and watch pigs grow into
ten-cent hogs and VINO expects to
make five dollars year out of
every hen on a ten-acre lot, that
he has another guess coming. The
cost of living in the country has
increased sixty per cent or more
in the last ten years and it costs
us farmers fully that much more
to live than it did a decade ago.
Besides all this there are a thous-
and one secrets of nature about
which the city man has never heard
and these things will have to be
learned by him before he can ex-
pect to get along at all. Farming
nowadays is not the old joke that
it used to be and requires lot of
h istle."

The Mass Meeting Should
Be Well Attended.

Although very little has been said
about the matter in the public press.
the mass meeting that will be held in
the council chamber Of the city hall
Friday evening ia one Of the most I'M
portant things that has happened in
Pensacola, perhaps for years. OF
course 1t all depends ON the spirit that
moves the business men who attend
and one what they do. But in gen
eral way, it may be said that the re-
suits Of this meeting will form a great
factor in the future greatness of the
city. In some respects this meeting
may mean more for Pensacola than
either the Interstate Fair or any OF
the Mardi Gras carnivals.
If every business man who can do
SO will attend end II all who attend
come &c the meeting imbued with the
spirit that Pensacola must and shall
be built Up. however great the cost
and whatever may be the sacrifices
that may have to be made, Friday
night will mark ali era in the history
OF the Deep Water City.
In any event. let every man in Pen
sacola who cares Tor the future of his
home city, come out to the meeting
and do everything in his power to put
every active force in the city at work.
Pensacola has the natural advan-
tages and they must be put before
the world in the proper light. The
truth about Pensacola must be told to
all the country and also to our own
people. There are many intelligent
men in this city who have not yet
learned what Pensacola has in the
way of natural advantages. These
people must be told and, some Of them
being from Missouri, they must be
shown.
Every person who comes to the
meeting must come in the spirit that
he is willing ITO take the message to
Garcia. not merely send it by some
one else

Good Advice to
The Liquor Men.

| The Tampa Tribune, the leading
anti-prehibitien paper In Florida, Of.
fers the following advice to the liquor
dealers OF Tampa:
Efforts to establish additional sa.
Icons in the business and shopping
district OF the city ought to receive
the prompt disfavor OF the authorities
Tampa has already about twice as
many saloons in these sections as are
eensenant either with the wellbeing
and reputable appearance Of the city
OF with the future indulgence Of the
liauor>selling industry.
The majority IN this county for
state prohibition was due largely to
the fact that Tampa has too many
saloons where saloons ought not TO be.
Increasing the number will lead
quickly and surely to one result-a
local option election which Will close
the saloons, If not in the entire coun-
~, at least In a majority Of the pre-
e!nets In which they now exist.
The public will depend upon the city
council to put check on this unfor-
tunR.e disposition Of certain saloon In
terests to take advantage Of the de-
feat Of prohibition in the state by I'M
posing additional provocation upon the
community.
If the. liquor men Of the city have
any due regard tor their own welfare,
they Will bring all possible pressure
to bear upon promoters Of additional
saloons to compel them to desist from
their ill-advised efforts.
A word to the wise ought to be suf-
nc,ent.
The same advice applies to the Pen
sacola liquor men a. we'll a. to those
in Tampa. We now have at least
twice as many bar rooms in Pensacola
as there should De. Instead Of forty,
twenty would be ample, and four
would supply everyone as much booze
as he could either drink or carry away.
But the bar rooms in Pensacola are
not confined to the downtown busi-
ness section. They exist In the resi-.
dence section as we'll and they exist
there simply because the law permits
them to. The next legislature will
be called upon to regulate this feature
Of the bar room business. The Jour-
nails suggestion would be a $4,000
license. If we are to have regulation,
let's have it right.

TOLsTOl AND THOSE I
CHURCH REQUlEMS
Tampa Times.


The usually temperate and always
liberal Pensacola Journal harshly crit
icises the Greek church because it de-
MED to Tolstoi the ''reQuiems and
burial rites" thereof. We hardly think
the criticism justified. IT is not in evi.
dence that the requiems and rites
We're requested at all. It as admitted
that they would have been denied.
But in discussing this matter it should
be kept in mind that church rites and
honors are the privileges only of
members OF the church. It would be
quite as much in point to take note
that the Free Masons did not confer
a formal burial according to the rit-
ual Of their order upon Tolstoi as that
the church did not Neither the Odd
Fellows nor the Woodmen of . the
World. Nor any OF the numerous
other orders and fraternities Of the
world. Tolstoi was not a member of
any of them and it would have been
a travesty for any of them to have of
fered the rites of sepulture according
to their ritual and practise in cases
Of members.
We are all too ready and apt to
censure the church. Like other or.
CARNATIONS it's rules and benefits and
cere1n onials are the exclusive priv
1ege of members in good standing. and
it is not. in any OF its multifarious
forms, to be justly criticised or
blamed for not comforting upon men
in death things that they never ap-
parently desired when alive. We are
not disposed to discuss the problem
whether Tolstoi is entitled to the love
reverence and honor of the human
race, having already covered that
point before and after his death. But
We do propose to put in a word of
eNculpation for the church and the
other organizations that have taken
no more notice Of his demise than he
bad earned by his membership and
the payment of dues. A great many
good men are denied posthumous
ceremonials, a great many bad men
are accorded them, and it all comes
out in the eternal wash.
