IDEA
OF HEAVEN
PRESIDENT NOT ABOVE CRIT
ICIsM OF COURTS IN THE
PAST DESPITE HIS NEWLY
AWAKENED AND EXPRESS
ED REVERENCE.
Progressive News Service.)

That President Taft has not always
been sensitive about criticism of the
Judiciary is indicated in a forcible man
ner in an editorial in an eastern publ
cation:
press reports of the presidents speech
at Pocatello, Idaho says the article,
contain the following: 4 love Judges
and | love courts. They are my ideals
on earth that typify what we shall
meet hereafter in heaven under Juss
God
''In his first annual message to con
'gress, December, 1909, Mr.. Taft said:
The deplorable delays in the admins
tration of civil and criminal law have
received the attention of committees of
the American Bar association.
| do not doubt for one moment that
much of the lawless violence and cruelty
exhibited in lynchings is directly due to
the uncertainties and injustice growing
out of the delays in trials, judgments
and the executions thereof by our
courts
"In his message of December, 1910, he
said: One great, crying need in the
United States is the cheapening of the
cost of litigation by simplifying judicial
procedure and eXpediting final judg-
ment. Under present conditions, the
poor man is at woeful disadvantage
in legal contest with a corporation or
a rich opponent
"NIuch else in the same strain might
be quoted from the presidents utter
ances suggesting, certainly, that his
of heaven are deplorably in
adequate.
"Away back in 1895, MIR. Taft, then
a judge of the United States circuit
court, said:
"'The opportunity publicly and freely
to criticise judicial action is of vastly
more Importance to the body polite
than the community of courts and
judges from unjust aspersion and at
tack. ~ But professional criti-
cism also is not without its uses, even
if accompanied, as it often is, by di-
rect attack upon the judicial fairness
and motives of the occupants Of the
bench; for if the law is but the essence
of common sense the protests of many
average men may evidence defect in
judicial conclusions, though based on the
incest legal reasoning and profoundest
learning"

ORD OF YOUR CANDIDATE,
MIR. JAxTHEIMER, APPEAL
TO YOUR SENSE OF FAIR
NESS?-THINK 1T OVER.

In the Sixth ward the republicans
have nominated for city councilman Mr.
Jaxtheimer.
Mr.. Jaxtheimer's record for a shorter
workday and the progressive principles
of organized labor is such as to com
mend him highly to the silk stocking
element A tool OF the interests, he has
served his masters well.
Coming to the city of Everett in 1901,
he secured work at the Sumner Iron
works. Shortly afterwards, owing to a
disagreement with Mr.. Quinn, he was
fired or quit, we don't know which.
On May l, 1901. all over the United
States the machinists struck for nine
hour day. In the local plant twenty
three mechanics laid down their tools,
determined to accept their share of the
sacrifice in making the nine hour day
universal. 1t was a glorious opportunity
for scabs, and Mr.. Jaxtheimer showed
his true colors by not neglecting the op-
portunity.
He again applied at the Sumner plant
and took his place with the scabs that
were aiding the firm to defeat the nine
hour day. Whether the thought ever
crossed Mr.. Jaxtheimer's mind that his
past conduct might be likened to that
of a renegade to his class, is not known,
but his peculiar principles did not deter
him from cheerfully accepting the nine
hour day after it was won-for it was
won.
The year 1910 rolled around and in
view of the tremendous Industrial de-
velopment and the thousands out OF
work, the iron workers deemed the time
ripe for a universal eight hour day
Again Big Interests refused. Again the
fight was on. All over the Pacific coast
and in New York the iron workers quit
determined that eight hours should con.
stitute a days work.
Again Mr.. Jaxtheimer. showed his
progressive spirit" by making no effort
to aid the producer to shorten the work
day. For sixteen months the iron work
ers have sacrificed time and money and
today the success of the eight hour day
movement is in sight. During all this
time Mr.. Jaxtheimer has continued at
work with the scabs.

that comes within reach. They ada
nothing to the sum total of human hap
piness. They form that class from
which the capitalist draws his willing
tool. Like the jackdaw in peacock feath-
ers, they strust on life's stage for
awhile, but, disowned by their class
and in time repudiated by their mas
ters, they sink into oblivion.
For the capitalist who puts up a game

spect, for the scab, none.

TRANSFERS
GROWING
UNION OF TRANSFERS
is RAPIDLY INCREASING
IT'S MEMBERSHIP BUSI-
NESS AGENT IN THE FIELD.

With no particular noise or furry
the teamsters' union has been achieving
growth that is little short of remark
able. The present organization is but
eighteen months old, yet it is the third
union in the city in point of member
ship, being out numbered only by the
shingleweavers and carpenters. From
present indications both the weavers and
carpenters must look to their laurels as
the teamsters are coming fast.
Probably no union in the city has had
as little trouble with employers. This
has been due to the conservative, care
full policy pursued by the membership.
Every effort has been bent toward a
thorough organization and disputes are
avoided wherever possible. As a result
wages are being gradually adjusted and
the lines of organization constantly eX-
tended
At the present time the union has a
live, energetic business agent in the field
in the person of Charley Engle. Par
ticular effort is being paid to the or
ganization of grocery clerks and the
agent reports much success. House
wives can and should materially aid by
the card of all grocery driv-
ers.
Next Tuesday night the teamsters
will hold a smoker in addition to their
businss session and their hall will be
crowded with live bunch of boys.

such reasons, but none of them are
sound and you were wrong when you
advised the mayor that this resolution
was illegal and void.
Yours very truly
JESSE H. DAVIS,
Democratic Candidate for City Attorney.
TO this Mr.. Sherwood replied in the
Herald, again asserting that his opinion
was purely a legal one and that the
question was whether the resolution was
constitutional and valid. In his opinion
the resolution WAS mandatory on the
city council
The following language appears in Mr.
Sherwood's latest letter:
''Now, in the first place, my interpre-
tation that the resolution does require
the union label has been given to it by
the local Typographical union, the city
controller, and practically every one else
affected. The resolution itself should
make this matter clear to everyone.
1T will be noticed that the resolution
instructs the city controller that he
shall insist at all times that such
printed matter shall bear the union label
Il understand that the members Of
the Typographical union (who are the
ones most vitality interested in this mat
teri have no criticism to offer as far as
| am concerned, as they realize and
have realized all the while that the
opinion given to Mayor Hartley at his
request very nearly two years ago cor
rectly states the law If the parties
mainly interested are satisfied, it would
seem as though Others should be salts
fled"
The statement that members of the
Typographical union have no criticism
to offer as they realize that the opinion
correctly states the law" met with inn
mediate and emphatic protest from the
printers and pressmen of the city.
The following open letter to Mr.. Sher
wood signed by members of both print
ers' and pressmen's unions speaks fol
itself. The signatures attached include
every member of the pressmen's union
and nearly the entire membership oi
the Typographical union:

in your opinion given to Mayor Hartley
in regard to the validity of the reso-
luton requiring the Allied Printing

We question your right to assume the
powers of the supreme court of this

as it is fact that the question of the
validity of the Allied Printing Trades

supreme court or any of the lower courts
of this state. We most assuredly do
condemn you for your snap judgment"
in regard to the validity of the use of
the Allied Printing Trades label on the
printed matter of this city.
We might add for your information
that we are informed by our interna
tional officers that the resolution you
declared unconstitutional has been passed
by and is in force in cities in nearly
every state in the Union.

RAISE NEW POINT OF LAW
Claim That Bills Not Signed by the
Governor Are Now
Laws

Bismarck, March 15.-It has been
contended that the legislature not
having adjourned, that certain bills
passed by the legilature have become
laws without the governors sigma
ture. tits reported that test case
will be started to determine the mat
ter.
The parties making the contention
hold that as the legislature has not
adjourned the bills must be signed in
three days or become laws because
the governor has not acted upon
them. When the legislature is in
session, bills must be signed or vetoed
and returned to the house in which
they originated in three days, or If
they are not signed they become eff
fective. When the legislature ad-
journs, however, the governor has
fifteen days in which to act on the
bills left to him.
There is nice point of law to be
settled as to whether the session is
adjourned or not, and there will prob
ably will be some lawsuits started
by those interested in some of the
bills that will be vetoed.

C. A. SANFORDS Will
DISPOSES OF PROPERTY AND
BANK STOCK. JAMESTOWN
COLLEGE GETS BENEFIT

The will of the late Charles A.
Sanford was admitted, to probate to-
day. John Bradford, the executor
named in the will, will be appointed
by the court on filing of the neces-
sary oath and bond. The will makes
number of bequests, among which
is the leaving of the stock of the
Stutsman county bank of Courtenay
to the jamestown College. This
stock is believed to be worth over
$4,000. A residence in Courtenay
was given to his daughter Myrtle.
Land formerly owned by Mr.. Sanford
near Mountain Home, Idaho, was
decided to the college year before his
death. This land at present is not of
any great value but should certain
irrigation projects materialize that
are now contemplated the value of
the land will be greatly enhanced,
and possibly amount to 100000 or
$4,000. The will made number of
other smaller bequests.
It is understood that the bank
stock is left to the college, subject to
certain Indebtedness thereon, but it
is expected that there will be quite
a margin over the Indebtedness, which
will eventually come to the college.

ENCOURAGE THE BIRDS
Best Way to Get Eirds to Stay ON the
Farm-Kill the Cats
DR.. w. B. Bell of the Agricultural

DR.. w. B. Bell of the Agricultural
College says:
There are many things which may
be done to encourage birds. Trees
planted about the home not only are
attractive in themselves but soon you
will find the birds will come to them,
build their nests, free the trees and
surroundings from many injurious in
sects and gladden. your home with
their gladsome songs. Wild native
fruit trees planted about the house
and orchard will attract birds and
save your tame fruit from attack as
birds prefer wild fruits.
The construction of simple bird
houses out of hollow sticks and
boards or small boxes and placed in
suitable protected places in trees, on
poles or on buildings will also. at
tract birds and help materially. The
scattering of food such as crumbs
from the table, or small grain where
birds may get it undisturbed will
help. 1t is especially important that
large numbers of people become ac-
customed to feed birds in winter by
scattering grain, tacking up bits Of
suet or other simple food where they
may get it undisturbed. This will at
tract many winter birds about the
place If done systematically. Birds
also appreciate a. good supply of wa
ter and will learn to flock about a
bowl or trough kept supplied with
fresh water where they may drink
and bathe during the spring and sum-
mer. You will be surprised to see
how many birds will learn to come
regularly to share THE hospitality.
They will repay well by freeing your
premises of countless insects. giving
you free concerts and many excellent
opportunities to observe their beauty
of form and color and Interesting
habits and actions. Another thing
which everyone should do in the in
,terest of bird life is to rid the prem
ises of surplus. prowling, half-starv-
ed, bird-killing cats. Such cats are
among the greatest enemies of birds,
killing countless young and adult
birds during every season and frigh-
tening away many more Watch
your sleek, well-fed house cat too,
and If she develops the habit of kill
ing birds see that she is broken OF
the habit "a hard thing to do) or
