Taft Above Criticism.

It seems thai President Taft is not

of a delegation OF rabbits, who by ap-
pointment, had waited upon him to
present an important matter for Off
cial consideration. aso object of his
spite. Representative Harrison of New
York. Lad accompanied 4 number
OF Jewish rabbiS who had called
to lave a talk with the President
regarding the expulsion of people Of
their faith from Russia. Mr.. Taft 5
secretary informed Mr. Harrison
that the President refused TO see
him, but would receive the rabbits.
The introduction OF the delegation
vas then made by Representative
Goldfogle of New York. MIR. Harri-

Important Point in Assessment Procedure

In 1908. the City Council of Che
halls passed a resolution for making
certain street Improvements, the es-
innate fixed Dy the resolution was
$4,000, while the contract awarded
for the improvement called for an ex-
penditure of $l4, 1890. The assess
ment on the AUDITING property was
made on this basis, and confirmed by
ordinance. The city brought an ac-
ton to enforce the collection of the
liens against the owners, the Superb
or Court dismissed the complaint and
the city appealed to the Supreme
Court and the judgment of the lower
court was reversed, deciding that
granting the City Council proceeded
irregularly and exceeded it's jurisdic-
ton, still the improvement work was
OF some benefit to the property in
question. and under the laws 1903,
the trial court ought to have re-
tanned the case and done equity be-
Sween the parties, ascertained the
amount of benefits and adjudged a
foreclosure of the liens. (Chehalis

Jurisdiction was exclusively in the

A NEWSPAPER man OF this State has
found that in his State, as well as in
Oregon and Idaho, city people are
joining in a movement back to the
farm. The cities are losing large
numbers of their population, accord
ing to him, and the country districts
are heavy gamers. This exodus from
the centers of population, he finds, is
due to the higher cost of food pro-
ducts and the constantly growing re-
wards of agriculture. 1t is predicted
that the shifting of population will
restore the present unequal balance
and lower the prices of many farm
products.

AN UNIQUE DECISIoN-Amid the

AN UNIQUE DECISION-Amld the
many searching methods of the courts
to place an unuSal construction upon
lawful methods, that Of J. V. Quales,
now q Federal Judge at Milwaukee,
Wis, is certainly of interest and far
reaching. and embraces most fully
the axiom regarding supremity of
the voice of the people. A Chicago
Reoni-HeroH dispatch has this to
say upon the Subject; Albert p.
Hopp. saloon keeper, was admitted
to citizenship, although it was shown
that he transgresseG the law in that
be kept his place open on Sunday
The court said: The Roman maxim
that the voice of the people is the
voice of God. is just as true today as
it was then. Any legislature that
establishes police regulations in de-
fiances of public sentiments must
suffer the humiliation of seeing their
mandate disregarded.' The court
pointed to the fact that IS per cent.
of the population of Milwaukee was
foreign born and that a majority of
its $1,000 inhabitants were of Ger
man extraction. He said that in Mil
waukee there wer 1000 saloons, and
that. although the Sunday closing
law had been on the books for forty
years, no attempt had been made to
enforce it. The old German adj
hears with tenacity to the habits and
customs of his fatherland, said the
court, and goes to the saloon on Sun
day, not for the of revelry and de-
bauch but as . meeting place where
he may greet his friends and neigh
bors, to sip his beer and smoke his
pipe"

fortune" in opening up gambling
games in Olympia to the letting
down the bars of all restraint on Gen.

promise of the city authorities for a
sane Fourth" which is the legiti-
mate result that invariably follows
all release of restraints of law. 1t is
a lamentable fact that the lawless
gang must always be kept at short
tether to insure respect for law. 1t

innocent are punished for some fan
cied wrong, Or mistaken identity,
when excitable people have lost their
heads. 1t is well always to keep the

CARNATIONS met for the purpose of
framing a bill to be presented at the
next Legislature whereby claims for
personal injuries suffered by en-
ployes may be adjusted without ex-
pensive litigation. The element of
contributory negligence is to be elm
mated, the employee is to receive
compensation for the injuries suf-
fered, without being compelled to
sue for damages sustained in the
courts. This course viii. eliminate a
large percentage of lawyers, known
as ambulance-chasers. who as q gene
