inst. at the Peoples hall. Forty
members were present at the after
noon session. Four oranges were
represented: East Sound. Lopez,
Friday Harbor and West Sound. It
was busy meeting and the after

the questions which presented them
selves. The question Of township
government had its final hearing,
and was well discussed. the disad-
vantages and the advantages. as
well as the methods Of securing it.
and its workings in relation to the
road question were all talked over

/ ed. petition was formulated asking
the county commissioners to bring
It before the voters at the election
this fall.
A resolution was also. passed to
the effect that our representatives
be instructed to work for legislation
which will put all the parties candi-
dates on one ticket. instead of the
Z
voter being obliged to declare his
politics and vote straight ticket,
as under the present law. where he
must vote for a party instead of a
principle.
Six o'clock found the delegates
still at work. as all business must
be finished. the evening meeting be-
| ing open to the public.

OPINION EVIDENCE.

Now we threatened with another Thaw
trial in which in those that preceded it, the
doctors will be the star performers. This case
not only by the conduct of its trials in court
but also by the revelations that crept out after
ward has created disrespect for the courts and
has discredited the medical profession to ser
Gus degree. little of it, and the i'm
preston will become fixed in the minds of the
masses that there is law for the rich and
another for the poor. Someone must have found
out that the Thaw family still has money
left after paying the doctors and lawyers who
have been collecting their fees by suit other
wise ever since the chief actor in the drama
was put in an asylum.
Without saying or suggesting for moment
that any alienist member of the medical pro-
fesson would make reckless statements under
oath in the witness box, it might be permissible
TO tell them that the Thaw trial has created
doubts regarding 1T in many minds When a
number of doctors seated side of the
court room swear to opinions that another lot
seated the other side deny in the way,
it creates unpleasant impression.
The publicity given to this has taught
the public some fine points in the law of evil
denee the chief of which is the safety that lies
III giving opinion evidence. The common, garden
variety of witness has to swear to actual facts
when he is called witness. II he says he
was at a particular place at particular time,
and it is proved that he was not, something I'M
pleasant happens to him. He must state only
what he saw heard with his own eyes and
ears. He is not allowed to say what he thinks
about anything what someone else says he
saw or heard. His opinions are not evidence.
But with the professional witness it is diff
ferent When he is asked, for instance, what he
thinks is the mental state of the prisoner at the
bar, he swears merely to his opinion, to
what is in his own mind He may be wrong
hundred other doctors and aliensts may con-
tradict him, but he is perfectly safe in making
any statement as far as risk of prosecution for
perjury is concerned. No mind-reading test is
known to science or TO the law There is no
possible way of proving that what he swore to
not what he thought was true
In the light of this view of opinion evidence
as seen at the Thaw trials, the average iuryman
is learning to pay little attention to ex-
pert testimony, and the administration of Justice
is in danger of losing the benefit of what should
be most valuable aid

CARNEGIE ON BANKING.

Andrew Carnegie's appearance before the
Stanley committee has obscured all other hap
penings in Washington. He is displaying much
shrewd wit but the sum total of his evidence
seems to be that he possessed certain properties
which other people wished to buy and he got the
best price he thought they would pay, though he
now thinks they would have given more if he
had held out longer
Congress should pay heed to the views Mr.
Carnegie incidentally expressed about the banking
system of this country. He is now out of active
business life but he went through every great
panic of the last half century and has studied
their causes Always, the weakness of the bank
ing, credit and inventory systems of the country
played an important part in intensfying, if not
in causing the trouble Mr.. Carnegie has proved
his ability and his grasp of the situation by
making himself one of the richest men in the
world. A rich man can sometimes make vast
profits out Of the mistakes of others, but the
man who lives what he earns loses every
time he machinery of commerce and industry
gets out of gear. 1t is not Wall street or the
Carneges and Rockefeers that need a better
system. They take of themselves. 1t IS
the masses of the people that congress represents
who must have greater stability in finance and
greater elasticity in the currency of the country

There has been no good reason for doubling
that President William Howard Taft desired and
expected to be re-nominated to succeed himself
and those who have asserted or ntimated the con
trary have done so from ignoance or a sinister
motive. The interest aroused by the statement of
his intentions which he has permitted friends to
quote is due, therefore to its specific and ncisve
character rather than to the introduction of any
new element into the political situation
