NOBODY BELIEVES THAT MoULDY COURT MYTH.

The editor of the Recorder was in the court room, sitting
on the front row of seats, when the supreme court read its re-
markable contempt decision. After the majority decision
was given, Judge Ailshie read his vigorous and legal dissent.
Another man on the same front row of seats, as he heard the
dissenting argument, whispered 'Politics!' so audibly that
the court itself should have heard. The charge was the sum
total of all the alleged crimes for which the prisoners at the
bar were then being sentenced. A few minutes later. if the
writer is not greatly mistaken, it was the same gentleman
who took violent exception to the incidental use OF the term
kangaroo court!' Yet the charge of "POlitics!' used In
the very hearing of the court itself, implied the most deadly
criticism of the court integrity; it included every act, every
motive back of the act, a charge that the court turned from
honor and from the law for personal or political gain--it COW
cred by suggestion and innuendo and inclusion every charge
against the court by the prisoners there awaiting sentence.
The term kangaroo court, even if applied directly to the
court, which it was not, never did or could mean anything but
where evidence was not taken or considered in defense--in
other words, at its ultimate worst it could only mean what
this court says it gave the prisoners, an arbitrary, discretion
airy punishment. And at its least it means nothing at all!
The fact is, that no sane man believes a word of this tom
my-rot about the absolute sanctity or %infalibiity of the court.
The court is perhaps the best of all human institutions: but
it is still as human as its diverse critics. 1t would not affect
the laws, if every judge were recalled; few need it--and they
are the only ones who would ever get it. 1t would not low
er the dignity or the morale of any court in Christendom to
give the people a hand hold where they could pull down an
obnoxious Judge as they pull down any other public officer
who tyrannizes. There is no stand patter, no lawyer, no,
and not even a single sublimated judge on any bench, who
believes a respectable fraction of the current ~balderdash about
infalible courts.
The present legislature should take steps to allow a vote
on the question of court recall, if it does not wish to take the
radical step of impeachment proceedings.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1913-01-30
THE RIoHFIELD RECORDER

slavish devotion to the form of the written law; and made a
prima facie case against the court in a series OF incorporate
philippics against the court. The News had a right to ex-
pect that, if ever called to account for this Incorporate castl-
cation, it would have the privilege Of a jury trial on the evil
dence, instead of an arbitrary sentence on the hazy and ten
uous if not mythical law of court privilege instead of on the
written law of the state. Then the majority of the court
punished them summary, IN a manner and with a venom
almost without precedent--and the people join in a revolt!
But the News could have known that Judge Aishie had
no part in bringing the contempt suit; that some form OF an
agreement had been reached that no prosecution need be
made; that Aishie was at the far end of the state when the
venomous prosecution began; that, however illadvised or re-
pugnant it might be, it was his duty and a man. part to hear
it as he is sworn to do instead of quitting like a coward; that
when he did give his opinion, it was to dissent from practi-
cally every proposition laid down by the majority, and to do
SO in a mastery, legal argument that no one can controvert,
and that is not founded on spite or mouldy precedent. That
he upheld a certain right of the court to punish summarily
for violent criticism like that of the News, and that he said
frankly that the News deserved punishment for its vicious
attacks, changes neither the justice nor the mercy of his de-
cision. There are few honest men, who, talking for justice
and asking to be Judged by that standard, could dare to class
all three members of the court alike, and to cruelty justice
and fairness as the News has done in the recent senatorial
fight. Its venom against Judge Aishie is a brand of Cain.
1t is of course any ones privilege to like or dislike any can.
.didate; but to maliciously or in wanton ignorance misrepre-
sent the truth is to invite, if indeed not justify, treatment on
the real though not the legal grounds on which the News was
puniShed---a venomOus, dangerous, cOnSclenceesS lrreSpons-
bility.
A self poisoned mind has led the News to throw away a
golden opportunity to be a martyr for justice and truth, and
to be a leader for progress. The mantle of prophecy and
leadership must fall on other shoulders not branded with the
brand of injustice. No martyr or leader in any such moral
as that in which the News has essayed to lead and
to suffer m~artyrdom, ever did or ever will build on such a
of injustice or wilful misinformaton. And to say
that does not justify either the Roosevelt decision or the one
for contempt!
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1913-01-30
HONESTY ..Isv THE BEST POLICY.

The Boise Capital News is one ofthe most strongly edited
publications in the West. 1t has courage, and brains, and
usually perception; and it has made itself almost the master
of this section of the West. Speaking generally, it tries to
be, and is, truly a peoples advocate, of a rare, helpful kind.
Yet the News has Just perpetrated a gross and incurable,
if not a wanton, injustice that should make the editors and
publishers blush with shame. 1t is an injustice that must be
a business and a moral blight; it is a lvid brand, a curse, a
bar to the leadership of hosts OF Just and honest men.
OF course the News, having championed Roosevelt, was
bitterly disappointed when the supreme court found no place
for the Roosevelt electors on the state ticket. So, too, were
thousands of others; to the Recorder it seemed absolutely
destructive of a free America. But it was a mistake appar
emily built on precedents that might be argued either way
subject to harsh criticism mostly because of the tendency Of
all courts to worship the antique and ignore present human
needs. The News charged a variety Of ignoble motives for
this decision, not even allowing the one of a too faithfully

Pitch SPRINGS In Greece.

On the island of zante, Greece, there
are to be found what are locally call
ed pitch springs. They are at the
southern end of the island in a broad
swampy basin, shut in on three sides
by mountains and open on the fourth
side to the sea. They are really
springs of crude petroleum which &C.
cording to analysis is of a very high
degree Of purity.
The petroleum issues from the earth
In water basins, oozing up through
the mud in drops which break and
spread upon the surface of the water.
The flow is very slow in the several
springs, not amounting to more than
a few gallons a day. The springs
were mentioned by a Greek historian
some Jour centuries before Christ.
They seem to have been considered
merely as a curiosity until about fifty
years ago.

Mr.. and Mrs. F. S. Betz and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. II. Gostlin returned Saturday.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Peter w. Meyn re-

of the West Indies, looking as brown
as could be and in the best of health.
Walter Meyn and Lyman Betz were
also in the party.
Neither Mr.. Gostlin Mr.. Betz took
an option on the Panama canal and Mr..
Meyn did not start bank in Havana.
None of the party bought the ever
glades in Florida, and all of them are
of the opinion that Lake county is the
greatest field for investment in the ter
ritory covered by their trip.
William Fl. Gostlin. who got his
start in the dredging business. said
that the canal is certainly wonderful
and that every American ought to be
proud of the manner in which the work
is being conducted.
Mr.. Meyn says that the trip was one
of the most pleasant he has ever taken
and that is only emphasizes the fact
that the Calumet region is the Creates
place in the world after all.
Mr.. Betz was glad to get back on tn.
job and thought that Havana was by
far the best city they visited His

and enjoyed their experiences inn
