DECISIONS ANO DELAYS

1t is likely that the incoming
legislature will appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the reason
why the Supreme Court Judges are
so far behind in the rendition of
their decisions-many case having
been sbmitted over two years ago.
They may also investigate the
reasons why some of the District
Judges are far behind in the
rendition of their decisions.
Such a committee can accomplish
a great deal of good for litigants
in disputed controversies particu-
larly and for the state at large
generally. The title to properties
should be speedily settled to the
end that the real own,r may deal
with it to advantage, because no
one cares to buy lawsuit. or buy
property the title to which is
in litigation.
After a full investigation the
legislature may be able to afford
relief by the enactment of proper
laws. either by compelling the
judges to perform their duties if
they have been derelect in the
performance of their duties or if
overworked by the creation of a
new court to aid the supreme
court, and by redis,ricting the
state so as to enable every county
to have its own judge and the
more populous counties as many,
as may be required to expediate
justice. Justice delayed is justice
denied to the full extent of the
delay. -, -. 60
A constitutional amendment
would be required to afford relief
to the supreme court.

CLEANING ORIENTAL RUGS

GERONIMO'S BAND

We are told that after twenty
SIX years of confinement the
remnant of Geronino's band goes
to the Mescalero reservation.
There are only a few of them
left but that announcement is b
reminder of what stubborn and
long-conituned fight old Geronimo
made against the white people who
invaded his territory. 1t is another
reminder, too, of what caused hin.
to surrender.
A war had been going on long
time in his dominions without any
SUCCESS when General Miles was
sent there. Looking over the
situation the general determined
to organize signal service system
up and down the Rockies, and in
unexpected places by night and by
day the Photograph light shone out
on the Indians until the super
stitious fear that it invoked cowed
their resolution and Geronimo
came in and surrendered.
Thy did not care about fighting
an enemy, but that mysterious eye
at appeared on the moutain
which told the American CON-
mander where the enemy was and
which way to proceed to find him
was loo much for the doughty
savage. Anything he could meet
he was willing to fight, but this
eye that blazed on the mountain
side and told the enemy where to
find him and in what force was to-
much. And it is true of the white
man Is it was of the Indian that a
superstitious fear will subdue
sooner than an actual, apparent
danger.
There are only few of the old
fighters left but some people
believe that, put on reservation
they will b reed trouble. We think
not. We think they have reached
that stage when they will be CON-
tent to have a few blankets and
enough food to keep them from be-
ing hungry. The war spirit.die dout
of them long and they will wait
patiently until they in turn will
follow old Geronimo to the happy
hunting grounds.

two pair gray trousers, two pair
white trousers, and a cap.
The contract calls for their deliv-
cry within thirty days after the order
is received by the company. That
means that the uniforms will be here
