pie in this community who have no
distinct recollection Of appointing
Mr.. Flynn to represent them in the

The Herald gladly offers congrat-
ulation to Harrington in its achieve
ment in shipping the first bale of
cotton to market this year. 1t has

would be produced in the Lower Val

the honor, why all honor to Har-
lingen.

DIsTRusT OF COURTS IS SEEN
Denying Peoples Attitude Toward
Tribunals is Mere Stupid Bourbon
Method of Solving Problem.

Equal and exact justice has been
the passionate demand of the human
soul since man first wronged his fell
low man; it has been the dream of
the philosopher, the aim Of the law
giyer, the endeavor-o f the Judge, the
ultimate test of every government
and every civilization. True, mar
has never attained and doubtless
never will reach this ideal; this
must ever remain the exclusive pre-
negative of an omniscient and omni-
potent God, but ii has been well said
thar to attain as near a. possible
perfect justice is the greatest inter-
est Of man on earth. Pain and suf-
fering may be bravely met, poverty
and want endured without complaint
the daily round Of exacting toll
taken up with cheerful heart, but
the soul Of mar in all ages has bit
terly cried. out against injustice and
insistenly demanded that it must not
be. Every government vast and
present may be known and properly
judged by the quality Of Justice ad-
ministered by its courts. The near
er the approach to ideal and perfect
justice in the courts. and the near
er the approach to Utopia in the
government. "A government whose
courts do not administer substantial
justice is not entitled to govern. and
courts which are not believed by the
people to administer such justice
hove no power for good.
For the first time in the history of
this republic there exists among the
people a widespread feeling of dis
satisfaction with the administration
of the law by the courts. 1t is true
that there have been bitter dehun-
citation of some single decisions in
a case appealingly strong to the
popular feeling of the moment, but
never before, believe, has there
been any great feeling of distrust of
the courts as a whole such as pre-
walls among a portion Of our popu-
lation today. If there be any sub
stantial ground for this feeling Of
distrust, if, in fact. the founts of
justice yield only turbid waters to
the soul which thirsts for the limpid
waters Of equity, the fact is one %
~momentous import; if, on the other
hand, there be no substantial ground
for the feeling of distrust, the mere
fact of its existence without founda-
ton is scarcely less .momentous, In
either ease there is danger to the
state, in sitfer base mehibefs IL both
bench and bar owe. to themselves,
no less than to the nation whose
flag they love and for whose con
tinued existence they pray, to do
what they can to ascertain and re-
move the cause of the distrust. To
deny that it exists is the traditional
Bourbon method of meeting greater
fproblems-a method as ineffective as
it is stupid.-Jphn b. Winslow,
Chief Justice Supreme Court Of Vie
c~onsin, Before Northwestern Univer-
sfty Law School Alumni Association.

Charles Maben, who formerly con-

arrested in Stockton Sunday morning
upon complaint of Miss Betty Penny
of the American House, who claims
that Maben left her hotel, owing her
board bill of something like $3.50.
When he left her hospitable shelter
and withdrew his feet from under
her table, he done it so sudden like
that he did not say goodby nor tell
her where to forward his mail. In
the meantime, between Maben's dis
appearance and his arrest Sunday,
Miss Penny had attached the laundry
upon which she secured ownership of
the property. Now she has Maben

she might get her money at any rate.
There are others who say Mabin owes

it owing for some time. His arrest
was made upon a warrant issued in

The law in relation to moneys re-
ceived into court and paid out is
very lax The clerk of court is the
receiver and disburser. But no
provision exists for any audit, nor
systematic accounting. Because of
this the judge of the district made
some general rules several weeks
ago and sent them to all five clerks
of court west of Russell. One rule
requires an annual report of moneys
to the court or judge. The first
clerk to get in his report is F. B.
Hardwood of Cove county, who
shows nearly 1900 on hand at the
end of 1911. Perhaps this should
be multiplied by los counties. Yet
legislators do not think the matter
worth legislating upon. G. Rup-
