JUDGE IGNORES
STATES MANDATE
Says Black Gown Is Relic Of Dusty,
Musty Ages and Refuses To
Wear One.

EVERETT, Wash, May l5.-Judge
w. w Black OF the superior court
here is as strongly opposed TO the
staid and sombre robes that judges
are wont to drape themselves in as
he is in favor OF the application OF
the recall OF the judiciary, And that's
some opposition.
"A judge represents the law; then
why shouldn't the people recall a
judge, II nis decisions and his be-
havior are not satisfactory 10 the
majority"
That is Blacks attitude on the re-
call and II is because he reasons
along this line that he is opposed
10 the judicial gown.
The judges black gown" he says,
lis a relic OF the dusty. musty ages.
I'm the old days, the law was adj
ministered by the clergy. That's
where the black robe came In. Then
when citizens were appointed TO
Judge their fellowmen, they adopted
the clerical style OF garb just 10 have
things looking bit impressive. II Is
one of the useless inheritances or the
law"
And SO is constructive contempt
OF court: and so is the ridiculous idea
that a judge--a mere man employed
10 administer the laws OF the people,
must not be criticized. We criticize
the president of the United States, do
We not? And we go after the United
States senators and the other men
in law-making bodies? Then why
should We exempt from just criticism

Some months ago the Washington
legislature passed law directing SUI

JERUSALEM, May 15.-There has
Deen untold misery and suffering In
Palestine since the early spring snow
storm which ruined crops and plunged
many institutions and colonists into
bankruptcy. Appeals for help have
been sent to the Jews of the United
States and those OF Europe. but mean
while those who have not been en-
quilted in the general disaster have
all they can do TO alleviate the suffer
ing. The charity association closed
its doors and such institutions as the
orphan asylum and the home for the
aged find IL difficult to keep afloat. As
a matter OF fact two Of these institu-
tons have been compelled TO suspend
operations.
1t seems that the trusts have taken
