rather thar. injure tho candidacy OF the man
named by the Republican State Convention
As a result OF this nomination the Jewish
Democratic vote will be attracted to Mr.
Straus in about the same proportion as Ii,
Republican Jewish vote. This means
heavy loss to the Democrats. Had the Pro
gressives named either Mr.. Prendergast %
Mr.. Hotchkiss they would have secured tha
support Of more Republican than Demo,

WoOLEN MILL STRIKERS RIOT
ING IN STREETS OF
LAWRENCE
Western Press.

western Press
LAWRENCE, Mass, Jan. 29.-Se-
rious rioting occurred today when a
crowd of strikers attempted to prevent
the operatives from various textile
mills from resuming work. In many
cases the strikers were successful and
mills that reopened were able to OPP
crate only on greatly reduced scale.
Several persons were seriously injured
during the troubles.
The rioters held up some twenty
or more electric cars, loaded in the
direction of the mills and forced the
passengers to leave the cars and then
assaulted them in the belief that they
were strikebreakers. Bottles and
Jumps of ice were thrown in the car
windows.
The rioting began an hour before
the time for the opening of the mill
gates. The mob was composed mostly
of foreigners and many were women
who cheered the men on to violence.
The police were powerless to end the
disorders. Entrance to the mill dis
trict by the rioters was prevented by
militia stationed in the streets border
ing the mills.

AS TO FREE JUSTICE.

That justice should be free to those
who are not able to pay for it will
hardly be disputed, any more than il
will be denied that food and clothing
warmth and shelter or treatment ir
sickness should be provided for those
wholly unable to buy them. But or
that very theory justice as admin
istered in the courts will be regard.
ed by the average. person as one OF
those things for which he would pre-
fer to pay when able, and the gen.
eral demand is not SO much for frce
as for cheaper and more certain JUS
tice.
1t would be highly pleasing, per-
haps, if all other forms of protection
for which the citizen has to pay his
taxes could be secured in some way
that would cost him nothing, but that
is manifestly impossible. The efforts
Of the reformers will be more wisely
directed to remedying the many gross
and glaring faults in our legal system
which not only make justice ruinously
costly but often wholly impossible.
The interminable delays constitute the
greatest defect of the system, and
the right of appeal is often abused.
The right of appeal is fundamental,
but even fundamental right can be
exercised to the prejudice of the rights
of others, and the law as it now exists,
with all its manifest weaknesses, fixes
bounds to this right.
If with one sweep of the pen law
could brush from the code of pro-
cedure all the clogging machinery of
delay and bring it about that every
case should be tried promptly and on
its merits; that only cases having
real merit should ever come to final
trial; and that when tried stricter
limit to the right of appeal should
be enforced-a long step in the right
direction would be taken. Most peo-
pie are not asking for free justice,
any more than for free board and
lodging, and they are perfectly will
ing to pay reasonable prices. They
object most seriously to the high cost
of Justice, just as they are objecting
to the increased cost of living. JUS
tice must cost something, of course;
judges and clerks and sheriffs can
not live on air. But there is wide
and ripening field for effort in the
direction of keeping down that cost
and of making the commodity itself
more speedy and certain.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

The recommendation Of the third
assistant postmaster general that the
postal rates on newspapers and. pc
riodicsls be doubled will not strike
q popular chord. 1t is difficult To
reconcile it with the fact that for the
first time in the history Of the post
office department there is now sur
plus instead of deficit, whereas q
reasonable deficit necessary to make
the widest possible distribution of all
publications devoted to the entertain
ment and instruction of the people
would be more to the point than an
increase of burdens which are already
onerous enough.
4 contemporary argues that for
postage purposes magazines and
newspapers are in the same class.
This is manifestly an error. 1t has
been shown many times that the de-
partment lost money in the transpor-
tation of periodicals. by reason Of the
fact that they are carried an aver
age of twice or three times as far
for the same amount as newspapers.
The money made on carrying news
papers is spent in hauling magazines
several times farther for the Same
charge per pound. That is discrim-
nation which ought to be remedied,
and the rates might well be equalized
by increasing the magazine rate pro-
portionately to the service rendered.
In fact, there is question whether
the newspaper rate should not be de-
creased. Certainly there Is no in
justice in requiring rates To be based
on service, notwithstanding the fact
that letter postage is the same wheth-
er tho distance is one mile OF ten
thousand. The letter rate Is so high
that it absorbs any inequalities Of this
sort.
The burden of increased newspa-
per rates would of course be ulti-
mately borne by the subscribers, in
most instances, and this inevitably

amount of matter handled, through
cancellations of subscriptions, and the
revenues of the department would
suffer rather than be increased.
There is said to be little probability
that very serious consideration will
be given to the recommendation which,
il followed, would only increase bur-
dens already heavy enough.

Pirate emblems representing the
Cherry Fair are worked out with the
products Of the shop. Every sort of
meat Is represented in the display
and in manner that to those not in

Hardware Co. and the H. A. Johnson
real estate office. Though there are
in fact hundreds worth going to see.
