How About This?

Iowa City Republican: A Georgia
judge fined two young mentor public
ly licking lawyer who had abused
them while addressing jury. No
doubt the court acted within it's dis
erection and performed its duty, yet
many will agree that the young men
no doubt had provocation sufficient
to warrant the attack. 1t is common
for lawyers to berate parties to an
action and hold them UP to scorn and
ridicule when addressing jury. An
occasional drubbing is what many law
yers need. A lawyer who will speak
in offensive terms of person in a
law action is unworthy of appearing
in court.

In a recent article for Golfers C.
p. Connolly makes the definite charge
that Clarence barrow, head Of the Nc.
Namara defense counsel. deliberately
sold ont to the prosecution to save
himself from the charge of trying to
bride prospective jurors in the Nc
Namara trial. In a statement at Los
Angeles Darrow denies that the arrest
of Franklin on bribery charge had
anything to do with the confession OF
the McNamaras and repeats that ii
was solely to save their lives. Oar
row also denies that any money of the
defense went into the socialist cam
paign fund in Los Angeles or that the
election there had anything to do with
the timing OF the confession Further
he declares that Steffens acted on his
own initiative and was not tool.

William C. Muldoon, the famous
trainer, declares that Americans are
degenerating with frightful rapidly,
all on account of money hogs and

perpetual struggle for money "They
are burned out body and soul" he af-

The younger generation loses its VI

EXPRESS COMPANIES
ARE LIABLE
Must Pay Full Value of Package
Which Has Beer Lost or
Stolen.

A recent decision OF the supreme
court settles long disputed point
vita reference to the responsibility OF
express companies for the value OF
lost packages, 1t has been the prac-
tice of the companies to limit loss OF
this kind to $50, and requiring the
consignor of package to sign a re-
ceipt stating this fact.
But in suit recently brought
against the Pacific Express company
and which went to the supreme court,
the court holds that as a common car.
rfer the company is responsible for
the full value of a package in transit
which it accepts for transportation
and for which it accepts regular
tariff.
1t Isl estimated that the enforce.
ment Of the $50 limit against people
with claim for lost packages has
saved the express companies hun.
dreds Of thousands of dollar.

OLD YEAR MEMORIES.

VIII YERH NE MOhlES.
Let us forget the things that veyed
and tried us,
The worrying things that caused our
souls to fret;
The hopes that, cherished long, were
still denied US.
Let us forget.
Let us forget the little Sights that
panied us,
The greater wrongs that rankle
sometimes yet;
The pride with which some lofty one
disdained us,
Let US forget.
Let us forget our brothers fault and
failing,
The yielding to temptation that be-
set,
That he perchance, though grief be
unayailing,
Cannot forget.
But blessings manifold, past all de-
serving,
Kind words and helpful deeds, a
countless throng,
The faults o'ercome. the rectitude I'M
swerving,
Let us remember long.
The sacrifice of love, the generous
giving
When friends were few, the hand.
clasp warm and strong,
The fragrance of each life of holy
living,
Let US remember long.
Whatever things were good and true
and gracious,
Mhate'er OF right has tTiumphed
over wrong,
What love of God or man has render
ed precious,
Let US remember long.
So. pondering well the lessons it has
taught US,
We tenderly may bid the yeai
Good-by,'
Holding in memory the good i
brought US,
Letting the evil die.

We've heard of monopolies of various kinds, and of advan- tage taken of the people ai large by this or that corpora ton or trust. because they are n control of the situation. but the action of the post office au- thorlties in arbitrarily doubling the rental of post office boxes here in ketehikan has the ae- tionS of the Trusts" backed clear off the boards. and thea to add insult to injury we arc told that 1t is compulsory thas we get boxes within thirty day as the newest of the many lase rulings Of the department Is that mail will not be delivered at the general delivery window for a longer period than that ii boxes are available. How's that for a Strangle hold, and l.- government ownership at that.
 In city one can get his mail delivered to his door half a dog en times a day by the uniform cd representative of the post office department, and it does n't cost anything either.

Here in ketchikan-- poor old Alaska the goat again where the people have made 1t possible for the post office to have decent quarters. and the owners of the building supplied the boxes, We are taxed out of sight for the priv ilege of being our own letter carriers. II is robbery, pure and simple. and it is np to the people Of ketchikan to see to t that they roinie justice he ing done them.
