BEOWUIF THE STRONG

Little children in England have
often heard the mythical story of
Beowulf the Strong, who lived in
England long before even the Ro-
mans came there. If anyone was
in trouble it was always the
mighty warrior Beowulf who
would aid him.
Now, a beloved Danish king,
Hrothgar, built a beautiful palace
for himself and all his soldiers to
live in. But back in the marshes
at the edge of his kingdom lived a
wicked monster called Grendel,
whom the king did not invite to
live at the palace, and great was
.Grendel's wrath therefor. To
avenge himself on the king, Gren-
del went every night for five years
to the castle and stole away
sometimes as many as 40 soldiers.
Everyone came to fear the terrible
.Grendel, and no one would go to
fight him.
One day into the great hall
strobe Beowulf the Strong with
some of his soldiers, declaring
that if the king willed he would
destroy Grendel. Though Beowulf
came from another country, his
fame had travelled far, and Hroth-
gar knew of his power and cour-
age, and was glad to accept his
offer of help.
That night Grendel came again,
easily breaking all the locks, and
grabbing Beowulf he started out.
Then and there was mighty
wrestling conflict. At last Beo-
wulf managed to put out one of
the monsters eyes and break a
huge arm, at which the evil mon
ster rushed home bowling with
pain.
The king was so grateful that
when Beowulf and his soldiers
went home he presented them
with horses, silver-mounted sad
dies and coats of armor, and
beautiful silk flag.

5-Cent Fare Not the Issue: No
Indeed Its the Difference Between
Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee
That Courts Are Wrestling With
What are courts for anyWay9


Are they to mete out speedy justice just to
split hairs and develop sort of esoteric wisdom
too attenuated and refined for application to the
problems of a live and busy world
Fern Hill people, for three weeks, have been pay
ing 10 cents for a cent ride. And there does not
seem to be any way to stop it.
Two weeks ago the city filed suit in the state
courts to bring relief Then the usual hair splitting
of lawyers began.
1t would not have taken Judge more than half
a day to have heard the evidence, arrived at the
truth of the situation and decided whether or not
those people were being imposed upon. But that
would be too practical.
Instead of going ahead with the the judge is
asked to send it to another court. He promptly
agrees and up it goes to federal court. The hearing
originally scheduled had to- be declared off, of
course.
There were several days delay while the legal
formalities INDUCED in to get the case to the
federal court.
In the meantime those people are paying 1Ocent
fare for scent ride right along
The formalities were finally adjusted and yester-
day the lawyers came before the federal court Then
they asked the federal court to send the case back
whence it came. This called forth lot of fine hair
splitting talk as to jurisdiction. The question as to
whether those people at Fern Hill are paying 10
cent fare for Scent ride was lost What matters
1t II thousand people are being robbed every day
with no way of getting square again, the court
must determine the difference between tweedle dunn
and tweedle dee and see whether federal Judge OF
To the Fern Hill fellow it matters not fig what
judge sits, he sits and does it quick. He is being
robbed he believes, and wants the hand of the rob-
Der taken out of his purse.
But the robbery goes and the federal Judge
will paw over the ponderous volumes of legal wis
dom to decide point of jurisdiction to see-not
whether Fern Hill shall get scent fare-but Just
who will try the case. .#4
Then after he decides, ten to one, side or the
other will appeal, and up will go the case to the
court of appeals and then there will be- not DAYS.
but weeks and probably months delay and still no
judge will ever get to the question as to whether
or not Fern Hill should pay Scent fare. It is all
just legal quibbling over something that has nothing
to do with 5-cent fare or Fern HILL either.
And after year or so the thing may get through
the supreme court and the asute barristers on this
exalted bench will decide-no, not whether Fern
Hill gets low fare, but just what Judge will sit
In the meantime Fern Hill has been paying 10
cents for scent ride all the time.
1t finally judge does get chance at the real is
sue and decides that then it is likely there will be
another year or two of appealing.
And Fern Hill keeps paying 10cent fare for a
Scent ride
ALI of which make it very pertinent question,
what are courts for anyway?
