ABUSE OF TECHNICALITIES.
(New York Commercially


After Sept. no case will be reversed
by the state supreme court of Ala
bama except on its merits. The high
est tribunal OF that state has ruled
that legal technicalities will not be
sufficient to secure reversals after
Sept. /, when the midsummer recess
ends. The only modification is that
where it is shown the entire case of
the appellant may be prejudiced by
ignoring the technicality the court
will be governed accordingly.
The abuse of the technicality has
worn out the patience of the people
and many states have tagen such ac-
ton as will curtail the abuse. Bar
associations all over the union have
urged and brought about many re-
forms, but much still remains to be
done. Alabama's supreme court de-
serves commendation for not waiting
on the legislative branch of the gov
ernment. Other supreme courts well
might follow suit
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-07-22

The grand jury observed that most
OF the prosecutions for selling whis-
key to Indians during the last few
years have been sustained by the tes-
timony of practically the same In
dians and in that section Of the coun-
| try at any rate there seems to have
grown up almost business on the
| part of some Indians OF soliciting
whiskey from strangers. and especial
| ly laboring men who do not under
stand what the law is. and then the
| Indian gives the white man away by
informing on him and secures trip
| to the court where he is held as a
! witness.
This practice SCENE to be so gen.
/ eral in that territory as to impress
the grand jury with the necessity for
some legislation of this kind. If there
is any way in which such a practice
can be proken up without legislation
il should be suggested or put into op-
Grafton.
If this bill have introduced would
do what you suggest then it should
not be passed l am not prepared to
say that it would not have that effect
but the more l study about the prop
osition the more l can see two sides
to it, and l hope you will consider it
from every standpoint.
Most of these Indians who come
to the court in our territory as wit
nesses are quite intelligent men and
they know what they are doing. We
/ have a law for punishing a person
who knowingly receives stolen goods
and such a law is necessary and it is
not rendered ineffective because OF
the disposition of the one who know
ingly receives stolen goods not to give
evidence. Oftentimes other proof can
be secured of the theft without
depending upon those who receive the
stolen goods so that in prosecutions OF
selling whiskey to Indians oftentimes
t proof other than that of the one who
s receives it can be secured and is Sc
cured
. 1t is true that all Indians may no.
: be as CON atent as white men to take
care of themselves and yet it is fac
{ that most oi he Indians who appear
+. in the federal court at Spokane
against white men are about as com
n petent, if not more so. to protec
= themselves than the men who arr
V charged with selling the whiskey t.
the Indians.
This is what impresse ! the member
d of our grand jury with tn Importance
e of some legislation of this character
= am glad that you are discussint

are discussing it because, as l said

Jury took hasty, superficial view of
the subject and has demonstrated that
q grand jury is not always a safe
guide in legislative matters.
There are two things wrong with
the bill now before congress. The law
IL passed would work badly in prac-
tice and ii is unsafe in principle be-
cause it presumes the Indian to be
strong at a point where he is known
TO be weak.
How the Jones bill would work II
adopted every Indian agent knows. So
does every sheriff, every town mar
shall and every United States district
attorney 1t would practically close
the door on the prosecution of those
who sell liquor to Indians. 1t would
be fine thing for the bootleggers but
a bad thing for the redman. The plea
that in Spokane many laboring men
ignorant of the law are induced to
provide liquor for Indians is specious
but weak. If such men as that get
caught in the tolls it is their misfor-
tune. But the bulk of the traffic is
not carried on by such men. 1t lis
carried on by unscrupulous fellows
who know the law and always have a
PLAUSIBLE tale ready in case they get
caught. To catch such men it is ne
cessary to have the aii OF the Indian
and if the Jones bill passes, the In
dams mouth will be closed.
Basically the Jones bill is unsound
because it virtually assumes that an
Indian is competent to care for him
self on the liquor question even
though the government may not have
confidence enough in him to let him
have title to his land, collect his own
money or make contracts. If ne is not
competent to fully care for himself
ir his business affairs how could the
government consistly assume he is
capable of controlling his desires for
liquor? II the Indian is not yet fit
fer the freedom Of the pocketbook how
can he be coRsideFei cit for the free
dom Of the whiskey bottle? II 1t Is
not safe to turn him over to the ten

One day at time! That's all it can

No faster than that is the hardest

And davs have their limits, however
Begin them too early and stretch
them too late.
One day at time!
It's a wholesome rhyme!
A good one to live by,
A day at time.
One day at a time! Every heart that
aches
Knowing only too we'll how long
they seem;
But it's never today which the spirit
breaks
It's the darkened future without a
gleam.
One day at a time! When JOY is al

Such a joy as the heart can never
forget,
And pulses are InTODDlnR Win wiz

How hard to remember that suns
must set.
One day at time! But a single day
Whatever its load whatever its
length,
And there's a bit Of precious Scrip
ture to say
That according to each shall be our
strength.
One day at time! 'Tis the whole OF
life;
All sorrow, all joy are measured

The bound of our purpose, our noblest

The only countersign sure to win.

Indians who accept or solicit the sale

This bill was introduced at the re-
quest of the U. S. Federal grand jury
at Spokane and grew out Of condi-
tions which they have observed in the
court there for good many years.

cussed and considered as well as to

the matter.

Whale DisabIes a Ship.

How a sperm whale broke steel ribs
from the steamer whaler Tyee, Jr., and
disabled a dynamo and n engine
when h%arpooned off Sitka bay, Alaska,
was told by the crew Of the 'whaler
when she arrived at Seattle recently
The battle with the whale began when
Gunner Sigurd Rlick %harpooned the
big fellow. The whale dashed at the
vessel with terrific speed. There was
a crash as he struck amidships on the
port side. The force Of the collision
increased the whales fury. and after
a hard struggle it escaped. AS soon
as the blow was struck Captain s. b.
Shaw went below and examined the
hull. He found that two steel ribs had
been broken and the machinery put
out Of commission by tho shock.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

cure deafness and that is by consttutio rene

When this tube is infamed you have a rumblinR

closed Deafness is the result. and unless the IN

to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed
