The banquet was held on one Of
the floors of the large new Santa Fe
office building being erected in
Topeka. The room was decorated
with palms and ferns and peppe
trees from California. The walls
were completely lined all around
with fern leaves and the ceiling was
entirely hid by boughs of the pepper
tree with the red berries glittering
among the green foliage. 1t surely
gave the room very tropical air.
Along one side of this immense room
stretched long table. This table
was simply great display of fine
art, all done in something good to
eat, it was simply gorgeous.
There were images, figures, and
ornaments OF all kinds, done lr

The fire department was called out
about five o'clock Wednesday morning
to fight what was supposed to be a
big fire. The tar tank belonging to
G. w. Elliott, who is paving on
South Santa Fe Avenue, was ablaze.
A fire under the tar tank had been left
at night to keep the tar hot, so work
could be started early the next
morning. But early in the morning
the tar boiled over and caught fire.
The tar spread over the street and
made a very pretty spectacle. There
was no damage done only to the tar
wagon, which was destroyed.

To Abolish Justice Courts

| " 1ASAASAA ~*StA~$ SS~A ~
A now maintained, the justice of
the peace in our cities is an archaic
survival. 1t is relic of what was
once an important part of jurispru-
dence, but it has no real place in the
modern system. The esquire" was
once an important parsonage in the
community. To. him were referred
petty quarrels and matters of local
litigation, and in him were centered
somewhat complicated judicial fun
tions. Most ofthe old fashiued JUS
tlces knew some law and they were
usually citizens ofknown reputation
and honesty. In some rural COM
neutrality-suspicious. in most of them
the Office of justice Of the peace
still holds to its ancient dignity and
efficiency. But in the cities this
office has sadly degenerated.
One of the really good progress
sive tendencies in our judicial system
is toward elimination of the justice
of the peace as an urban fixture.
In Chicago, fol instance, these Of
fcers have been done away with and
in their places is system OF munl-
cipal courts. 1t is the testimony of
Justice Olson and others familiar
with the work of the municipal
courts that they have served a most
useful purpose. Not only have they
saved money for the public and The
litigants but they have expedited
business and kept up with the de
mands upon them. A measure now
drawn up for presentation to the
Missouri legislature. with approval
Oh I0S hduSdS Sltv Ddl hSoOSi0NtSu
and the St. Louis r Far Association,
would establish the Chicago system
in the larger cities OF Missouri.
Action in this direction by the 'cgis
lature would take che form of an en-
abllng act providing ways for the
cities themselves to change the
system.
So many abuses have growo up in
the justice IF the peace practice that
something radical should be done.
The cities shoxld no longer main
tain these coGyts with their crude
and unsatisfactory methodsof doing
business. 1t has come to be the
usual thing for the district political
leader to hold the Office ofH1stice of
the peace, which adds to...his pres
tige and political power. dt is not
necessary for justice to know the
first thing about the law or to have
even good judgement. If he can
command the votes he gets the job,
regardless of qualifications. Many
of these justices prey on the poor
and helpless, until the whole system
is a scandal and shame upon the
name of justice. Perhaps the Chi
cago plan may not be the best pos
sible, but it cannot fail to be an i'm
proyement upon present conditions.

Mexican Instruction.

/
Mt with standing the insistent re-
assurances that come from the cap
ital, 1t is evedent that the insurrec-
tion in Mexico is assuming very
Srave aspect. Yet there is nothing
really alarming in he situation, for
in all probability the federal govern.
ment will be able to check this m owe
ment as soon as the war machinary
can be put into thorough working
order. Not only in Mexico but in
the world at large there is the ut
most faith In the ability and strength
of President Disz, who has shown
such conspicuous s.atesmadship
throughout the years of his active
administration of Mexican affairs.
But the insurrection is trouble :

the border territory near the United
States and therefore the moyemen,

Mexico is of large area, ano
within its territory are vast and
complicated interests many of which
are antagonistic to each other. Til.
republic lacks that cohesive forcs
which cements other nations to-
gether. Power is diffused ehrouph
local mediums and the population is
made up of many elements. In the
districts where the present insurrect
ion is most active, means OF
commanication are lacking and
there is deep feeling of antagonism
toward the governmeat that mani
rests Itself In throwing difficulties in
the way of the federal troops So
far the victories of the insurrectiou-
lists have been isolated and of small
retat'@e Importance. The towns
that have fallen befoge the rifles Of
the rebels have been almost HELPLESS
and resistance was faint. 1t has
been easy for band of fifty or

dowa upon little Mexican town
and take it while the population
keptto the houses.
The situation at yuarez is serious
eno0gh and represents the concen
trated efforts of the entire campaign.
If the insurrectioulsrs consent to
meet the fedelal troops in a fair
tlgat there is ttle doubt of the
outcome. In any event the ultimate
defeat of the rebels is practically
certain. 1t is unfurssnate that the

Kathleen Mavourneen! the grey dawn is breaking.
The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill;
The lark from her light wing the bright dew is
shaking,
Kathleen Mavourneen! what sunb' ring still?
Oh hast thou forgotten how must sever?
Oh, hast thou forgotten this day must part?
1t may be for years. and it may be forever!
Oh, why art thou silent, thou voice Of my heart?
Oh! why art thou silent. Kathleen Mavourneen?
Kathleen Mavourneen awake from thy slumbers!
The blue mountains glow in the suns golden light;
Ah where is the spell that hung my numbers?
Arise in thy beauty, thou star of my night
Mavourneen, Mavourneen, my sad tears are falling.
To think that from Erin and thee must part
1t may be for years. and it may be forever!
Then why art thou silent, thou voice Of my heart?
Then why art thou silent, Kathleen Mavourneen?
