sham ordered today the United States
officials at Seattle to grant a new
trial to Leonard OLSON, the Socialist
whose citizenship was cancelled by
United States Judge Cornelius H. Han

when Congressman Berger of Wis

crude theories hostile to the constl-
tuition are barred" The court con-
cluded by adding that because of his
opinions "0lsson had no reverence
for the constitution nor intention to
support and defend it against ene-
mics when he applied for citizen
ship"
olsson's case was probably the
first in the history Of the country
vixen a mans citizenship was can
celled by court procedure because Of
political opinions and many legal au-
thoritles maintained that If 1t were
sustained by the higher courts, 1t
would lead to the deprivation of the
citizenship rights of thousands of
Socialists
Congressman Berger, following the
decision Of President Taft and Attor-
ney General Wickersham, announced
that tomorrow he will present in the
house an impeachment indictment
against Judge Hanford, Berger had
conferred with President Taft and
Wlckersham, and declared that both
repudiated Hanford's ruling in the
0lsson case and promised to furnish
all government papers If the house
decides to proceed against the Seat
tie jurist.
Attorney General Wickersham
wrote to Congressman Berger on the
case as follows:
Il have instructed the United
States attorney at Seattle to faclli-
tate in every way the opening of the
decree and securing for OLSEN new
trial. Failing that he shall appeal to
the circuit court. l have further mo-
tilted the United States attorney that,
on the facts stated by Hanford in his
decision, he department Of Justice be-
lleyes a great injustice has been
done OLSON.
After you left here l found upon
investigation, that the department
had already caused inquiries to be
made into the case. 1t was found
that the proceeding against OLSON
was initiated at the instance Of one

property, could recover. He said:
4 am certainly Of the opinion that
property owners who paid in their
money on this invalidated assessment,
which is now just aa II no assess-
ment had ever been made. can recov-
er from the city II was not neces-
sary for them to protest at the time
they paid or bonded the property.
They did so under representations by
the city that all steps taken were To-
gal. They paid or bonded under threat
from the city that their property
would be sold. No protest was neces-
sary They paid an Illegal assess
ment that was represented to them by
the officials as a legal assessment
The supreme court has held that the
citizen need not act as guardian over
the official but has a right to pro-
sumo that official acts are legal, and
that all official proceedings are con-
Quoted in a perfectly legal and up
right manner, which was not the case
in this procedure, nor in any part Of
itg The indications are that all mon.
eys can be recovered, but will neces-
sarIly involve the city IN more lItiga-
tlon and expense.

The decision Of the supreme court
ipyalidating the South Salem sewer
assessments are a general topic Of
interest TO get at some OF the meat
Of tho controversy It must be recalled
that the original ettlmate in the
sewer involved in tie case u RAN
dell VS., the tity cf Salem, was si4c.,
672S1, and no contractor world take
the job az that The lowest bidders
were a Portland firm, at $17e,446. To
this was added $4,000 for engineering
expenses and 25 per cent for covering
all contingencies, which added $4,000
tn the contract price On this basis
Mr.. Randall's assessment figured out
s1s47O4, and against this assessment
his attorney, Frank Holmes. brought
suit against the city, on the ground
Of improper notice, incorrect desCrlp-
tlons, Incorrect maps and unjust as
sessmeht, and the supreme court finds
all these things to have been as al
legged. The other South Salem case
Is Jones vs., the City Of Salem, submit
ted on brief by Inman & Pogue. Mr.
Holmes was the only attorney who
had any faith in his ability to over
throw the unjust assessment after the
case against the city In North Salem
was decidedly adversely to the remon-
strants. He appeared In oral argu-
ment with city Attorney Grant Corby

was won for the property owners.

brief, with but little or no expectation
of winning, and Mr. Holmes feels he

New Year Thons,,ts on Education,

With the New Year in its infancy,
we are entering upon the duties and re-
spot sibilities of the greatest aud most
important work which should be given
vital interest by all the people of Berk.
eley County; for there is no greater
work than the training and education
of the child.
The openingye heralds forth, more
than ever before our duties as CO. work
ers in the same great cause, for more
effective teaching, better management
and carefal, thoughtful administra-
ton for the advancement and progress
of our schools in the future
There are very i'm portant educational
questions before us, that demand our
earnest attention with liberal and
judicious, consideration. Consolida-
ton, graded and high schools, better
attendance and how TO secure hearty
cooperation of the parent are some Of
the leading questions relative to school
work at the present time.
1t is not my purpose to discuss these
subjects or outline a policy in this
article for a new system of school
regulation, but to place these principles
before a thinking people, that they
may thoroughly study and discuss
these coming issues and be prepared to
accept the most progressive plans; and
become acquainted with the specific
problems and needs that will bring
about higher standard of practical
training and more ideal system for
the working of our rural schools. We
are part of the great educat ional
system of our state, and every citizen
should be IN touch WITH all its move
ments and alive TO the best interests,
for the welfare, prosperity aud enligh-
tenment of the rising generation. The
great problems that confront us in the
work Of education are worthy of most
careful thought and consideration OF
every parent and citizen.
Let us think the matter over with
calm deliberation, for the County
School is one Of the most serious pro.
olems that the general public must
settle soon and right. Place our coun.
~ system of schools, where the boys
aud girls are being trained for an active
practical and ideal life in com pariseu
with the improved methods Of agri-
culture, growing, ana machinery
Tor farm anu house use. We cau see
al once, that only few schools IN the
rural districts have kept apaee with
the !ndustrai progress, that has been
brought out in Aearly every section of
the Various counties Of our great state.

The conviction of the tree criminals
at this term Of the court for the fragrant
violation of the laws Of the state is not
only vendication of the law bat will
without doubt do much toward restor-
ing decency and good order In the
community. This class has been for
years running the community. Ne
man could be elected to office without
the stamp Of the saloon upon him.
This action Of the juries Of the county
serves notice of these gentlemen that
their hold is broken and there Will be
no more of their domination tolerated,
that they have no more rights and
privileges than other people.
All praise Is due to the officers who
have SO faithfully done their duty
among whom there some men who
take their drink. Special praise is due
the efficient prosecuting attorney who
SO ably and effectually brought these
law breakers to the doors of the prison
house where they belong.
The whole campaign against these
fellows was carried to successful con-
clusion without single serious mis-
take and all owing to the efficient
manner in which the cases have been
conducted.
