THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

The announcement of G.. H. Buck
man as candidate for supreme court
Justice in the Republican primaries
is not one that will meet with favor
in this county. Chief Justice john
ston of Minneapolis and Justice R.
A. Burch of Salina have served on
the supreme bench with marked dis
tlnction and both because they are
our neighbors and because they are
particularly able jurists they deserve
the support of the Dickinson county
Their decisions have
been marked by a high standard of
fairness and equity and with an en-
tire absence Of factionalism or par
tisanship and as students and law
yers they rank with the ablest in
the west. They should be renomin-
ated and reelected. 1t is poor pub
lie policy to make changes in the
supreme court and when such men
as these are once secured and are
serving the state well they should
be kept there. This we believe will
be the decision of the Kansas voters.

Canada has a real estate boom
that puts old times in Kansas in
the shade. A lot sale has just been
held in Edmonton. After the sale
had been in progress seven and a
half days, 7O2 lots had been sold.

event, the London Economist says:

methods have undergone many

icy of disposing of land, If the ex-
pertinent now to be tried is to be re-

will be done in the future. And pre-
sumably, If successful, the procedure
will be repeated. The present sale
deals with the townsite of Edmonton,
the capital of Alberta. The COM
pany has published map of the
plots to be disposed of next week.
The sale will be made in Edmonton
and London at the same time; 1900
lots are to be offered in Edmonton
and $40 in London. A plan Of the

together with the prices Of the lots,
which are mainly SO feet by $50

AS TO MIR. BARROW.

Newspaper reports of the progress
of the barrow trial at Los Angeles
are not pleasant reading to that class
of our people, more numerous per-
haps than we are inclined to be-
lieve, who still look upon the courts
as the bulwark of our liberties and
the real foundation of our. jciyiliza-
ton. He who corrupts or, seeks to
corrupt Judge or juryman woHld
poison the fountain of liberty at
its very source. No greater crime
against civilization is possible, in
fact it partakes of the very nature
of treason itself. Especially heinOus
is it in a lawyer, sworn to maintain
the law and seek the even-handed
administration of justice.
All this is not written to PREJUDICE
the case of Mr.. barrow. Like the
humblest member of society, he must
be regarded as innocent until he
is fairly tried and adjudged guilty.
If he can produce evidence which
will satisfy not only the Jury but
the public that he is innocent, all
good men, will rejoice that the ter
rible story of the McNamaras is not
to be made even more loathsome by
proof of the moral turpitude of their
chief counsel.
DisQuieting rumors have found
their way into the papers that Mr..
barrow was "dickering" with the
public prosecutor for some sort of
an arrangement which would save
him from the penitentiary If found
guilty, in consideration of his giving
certain testimony which would en-
able the law to reach the men higher
up" We do not like this sort of
talk. There is no one "higher up"
from the pubIics point of view, than
the chief counsel of men convicted
of such a crime as that to which
the McNamaras have confessed. Bet
ter that some of the men behind
the dynamiters should go ''unwhipt
of Justice than that their counsel
should be allowed to soften by one
jot or title the punishment he de-
serves IL he actually attempted to-
bride juror. There is, If we mis-
take not a general feeling that
courts are too willing to soften the
punishment Of criminals If they will
help punish someone else. Readiness
to turn states evidence generally
means that a criminal feels pretty
sure that he cannot escape convic-
ton. Those whom 1t is designed to
reach may not be convicted even on
the testimony which he would make
the basis of immunity or lighter
punishment for himself. In a GRIM
lnal court, as in many other places,
a bird in the gamebag Is worth an
entire flock in the bush. Human
nature being what 1t Ia, 1t is not
strange that juries are loath to con-
vict upon such testimony.
There is not the slightest danger
that injustice win be done Mr.. Oar
row. He Is . brilliant and astuteI
lawyer. able 70 utilize every resouree
known 70 the Law. Public feeling
no doubt runs high in Los Angeles
against the dynamiters and eli inl
.anr HaY aasoelalad with them. -

AMERICAN INVASION OF CANADA

According to statistics furnished
by the Western Passenger Agents
Association 2,12S,459 persons have
emgrated from Europe and the
United States to Canada since Jan
uary 1, 1897, by far the larger num-
being prosperous American farmers
drawn to the fertile Canadian North
west by the lure of the grain fields.
While Canada is to be congratulated
on the increase in it's normally de-
sirable population, the anxiety of
some timid political economists lest
the "tail should wag the dog" would
appear specifically to have some
foundation.
The latest census of Canada gave
the entire population as somewhat
short of 100000 people. If the
inflow from the outside, and parti-
cularly from the United States,
should continue it would not be
many years before the native popu-
lation would be outnumbered by the
alien incomers. It is not claimed
that the growth of the native popu-
lation has figured greatly in the
increase in Canada's population to
point almost, if not quite, equal
to the population of the state of
New York.
From an American point Of view
Canada has no cause for alarm, but
rather reason for congratulation, on
account of the immigration Of agri-
eulturalists from the United States.
They are law-abiding, homeseeking
and altogether acceptable acquisi-
tions to the Dominion population,
and they may be relied upon to up
hold the laws OF the country, instead
Of sowing seeds of anarchy and in
sulting the flag under which they
have elected to live.
