All Snnoothed Over

The resignation of that Judge Hanford of Seattle,
has been accepted by President Taft and there the
matter ends.
We call the attention of the people to this fresh
demonstration of the fact that in impeachment lies
no hope Of relief from judicial corruption.
There is nothing to bar Hanford from again sitting
upon the federal bench. There is nothing to bar him
from holding still higher office of honor profit
And yet, if guilty charged, there is no punish
ment too severe to be meted out to him. J,
Had Hanford appeared in court as thief who had
stolen loaf Of bread or chunk of coal, he would
have been locked up punished to the limit of the law
He did appear under charges of prostitutng justice
to his imnoralites and feathering his nest. He
pleads guilty of ill health and goes scot free.
Yet there are those who decry the popular disre-
tial justice cannot be obtained in courts.

Making cut glass is remarka-

secret of making lead glass. Lead
glass is the same as flint glass, or
what is known as rock crystal.
This family originated the mixing
of fine glass, discovered the secret
in some way while blowing glass
a couple of hundred years ago.
They keep a mixer in every fac
tory in the world, but the secret is
guarded SO carefully that not
even a scientist has ever been able
to discover how 1t was done.
Lime glass, which Is the or
binary glass of ccssmerce, has no
metals in 1t, while lead glass con-
tains sylicate of potash, soda and
other minerals and metals. The
mass is fused in such way that
