IN FAIRNESS TO JUDGE SLOAN
washington Times.)


In the bitterness of partisan con-
troversy, very grave charges have
been made against Judge Richard e.
Sloan, nominated for the federal
bench i'm Arizona. There lis reason
to believe that i'm some of these
charges, at least, Judge Sloan has
been done am injustice, and the Time
having heretofore given credence to
them, feels under obligation of fair
ness to present the other side of
the case.
Before printing it's recent COM
ments ON the case the Times submit
ted a statement of the alleged facts,
which has been exclusively printed,
to Senator Ashurst of Arizona, who
approved it as an accurate summary
of the records i'm the case. On be-
half of Judge Sloan dit is stated that
this was i'm truth an unfair and ex-
aggerated misstatement. 1t dealt
with the trial before Judge Sloan OF
one Thomas, a Pullman porter, charg-
ed with attempted assault ON wo-
man passenger. Judge Sloan sentenc'
and denied new trial, which later
the territorial supreme court ordered.
The case was called i'm open COURT
before Judge Sloan, Thomas being
ready for trial, while the prosecution
was unable to secure its Witnesses.
After effort to get them and toward
the end of the term the prosecutor
moved to dismiss. He pointed out
that ON the first trial, with all witt
nesses present, the case had not been
sufficient to convince the supreme
court; therefore, it would be ueslesE:
to expect a conviction that would be
sustained with much of the evidence
dropped out. In these circumstance
es the COURT granted the motion to
dismiss. 1t is declared on the best
authority that there was no activity
on the part of the railroad or Publ
man company to secure this deder-
mination, that no undue haste mark
ed the removal of the discharged ne
gro from the state, and that the law
yers on both sides have so certified.
A member of the senate Judiciary
committee, after examination of the
record of decisions in Southern Paci
fic railroad cases before Judge Sloan,
states that they demonstrate that, fal
from being a railroad judge" they
present Judge Sloan as a very indie
pendent and fair jurist, who i'm vari-
Gus cases decided against the COM
pany under circumstances i'm which
railroad judge" could easily have
Justified himself in giving the cor
poration the decision.
Senator Ashurst, it may be added.
though he is now bitterly opposing
Sloan's confirmation, was a member
of the Northern Arizona Bar associa-
tion committee that i'm 1909 signed
resolutions strongly commencing
Judge Sloan's judicial service at tn
time when he was leaving the bench
to become governor of the territory

The census is furnishing astonishing
figures regarding the rise of land prices
in the United States. During the past
ten years we have experienced an nm
precedent appreciation Of land. Men
have sought to own : piece of it either
for investment or for its agricultural
production. Speculation and develop
ment schemes have caused marvellous
enhancement of prices in some of the
newer regions: but even in the old state
figures have increased by leaps. The
returns from the small states of the
east are coming in most rapidly. Land
with buildings in Maine is now worth
S95 an acre on the average OF 6s per
cent in ten years; in Vermont the price
is SEA and the increase 80 per cent;
Connecticut, S63 an acre, an increase
of so per cent; Rhode Island, SOC an
acre, an increase of 30 per cent, and
Delaware, S51 an acre, an increase of
50 per cent.
