CURRENT COMMENT
The Dynamite "Plant.v

In the interests of exact and even handed jus
tice, it is time that the affair of the Lawrence
dynamite plant" be probed to the bottom; and
consequently the activity of District Attorney
Peletier in securing grand jury indictments
against men suspected of conspiracy In the case
is to be warmly commended.
The fact that among the defendants now
under arrest is The president OF the American
Woolen company. the "Woolen Trust" rem
ders the recent developments highly sensa-
tional but the law can be no respecter of per-
sons. Mr. Wood merits the same consideration
one would accord to MIR. Ettor, in that he is TO
he presumed innocent until he Is proved guilty
He announces that his innocence OF the crime
charged against him s absolute and that this
fact Will be fully established at the proper
time. II Is to be hoped that he viii not be dis
appointed IN the outcome 1t Is astonishing
that Il man of large affairs of MIR. Woods
pacity and responsibilities should even he sus-
pected of stopping to acts of this viliainous
character.
The public cannot be blamed however if it
belIeNes that some one high up" inspired the
planting of tho dynamite in Lawrence for
the purpose of casting discredit upon the strikers
and alternating from them the public sympathy
Very ugly facts are already established
tact No. Is that the strikers We're not in
the least responsible for that dynamite. nor
were their leaders in the Industrial Workers OF
The World The persons originally arrested last
winter for having the explosive their prem
ises were released by the court.
Fact No. is that John j. Rreen, Lawrence
undertaken and member of the school board,
tried, convicted and fined $500 for placing the
dynamite in tfie hwHf@s of strikers as cast
suspicion on them planning the destruction
of tue mills Breen was not in any way assoc
ciated With the strikers. 1T was obvious that
he was mere tool In dastardy performance
The light punishment he received from the
court and the hushing up OF the affair seemed
scandalous ia many observers, but the case did
not then get the public attention 1t deserved.
Fact No. was the recent suicide OF Ernest
a. Pitman of Andover a wealthy contractor
who had built the new Wood mills in Lawrence
after an interview with the district attorney
and summons TO testify before the grand jury
That Pftman secured dynamite from quarry
man in East Milton last January Is the testi-
mony OF the quarryman himself
Final judgment concerning the affair should
be suspended until the courts have done their
work. Mr. Pelletier in the meantime merits
the strong moral support OF public opinion in
his prosecution of the case And whatever the
outcome may be, II now seems probable that
the counsel of Joseph Ettor, the strike leader
viii have far less difficulty in finding an un-
prejudiced, impartial jury to try him on the
murder charge than they would before Contrac-
tor Pitman killed himself and President Wood
arrested for conspiracy.-Springfield Repub-

Still No Proof,

If Penrose and Archbold had essayed TO prove
only that the standard Oil and other trusts
trfbuted TO the Roosevelt campaign fund of 1904
that this alliance with the trusts in itself
improper and scandalous and mischief breed
ing, they would have had clear case.
But in trying prove also that Roosevelt was
guilty OF a peculiarly despicable piece of double
dealing and deception and in leaving the matter
improved they have given the former president
chance TO evade the real issue and raise a new
one, as he does In his letter made public this
morning
That letter leaves the whole matter where 1t
was. Penrose and Archbold have made the detin-
on contribution Roosevelt has definitely de-
nied II. Those who want to believe Penrose and
Archibald will believe them and those who want
TO believe Roosevelt will believe him
We should like some proof before ac-
cepting the word of either-Baltmore Evening

OUR SUPREME COURT AND IT'S
CONDUCT, BOTH AS COURT OFFICERS

The constitution of this state. Article s, Sec

See H. The Justices of the supreme court
and the district judges shall be ineligible to any
office other than judicial office, during the
term for which they shall have been elected,
and all elections appointments of such Judge.
by the people or legislature otherwise, dur
ing said period. to any office other than judicial,
shall be void ~
Section Is Of the same article provides that
their compensation shall not be increased or d.
minished during the term for which they shall
have been elected.
Section Of Article of constitution pro
vides as follows
Sec B For any reasonable cause to be
entered on the Journals of each house. which
may may not be sufficient grounds for inn
parchment, the chief justice and associate jus
tices of the supreme court and judges of the dis
triet courts shall be removed from office ON the
vote Of two-thirds Of the members elected to each
branch Of the legislature etc. !"
Our statutes show that the justices of our
supreme court have filled the offices of code com
misSoners and that various large of money
have been paid them such officers and the rec
ord of the supreme court shows that they have
neglected their duties as supreme Judges by rea-
Of their violation Of the plain provisions of
the constitution herein quoted
The Bonanza suggests that an issue be made
IN the coming campaign Of their conduct and the
plain, constitutional recall. above set forth, be
applied to them by next legislature.
In other way can the blot that has been
made on Nevada : fair name be erased. What
is the use Of talking about the $500 or any
other sums paid these judges as code commits
sioners. they have been guilty of offense
against constitution and have set most
vicious example that if allowed to 90 unpunish-
ed would lead 10 anarchy and treason
For the money expended we have got fair
compilation of our statutes and codes Whether
we paid too much or too little amounts to nothing
in comparison with the principle involved. for if
our supreme court thus set aside and no
toriously violate the plain provisions of con
stituion. they at become a despotic body
above and over all the people, and our boasted
free government is destroyed. for if such a
learned body Of men as constitute our supreme
court are thus allowed to set at naught our
fundamental law ID order TO get a little money
what IS IT the more ignorant and graspng people
will and can do on the same wrongful principle
