JUDGE HOWARO'S
STRONG WORDS

A Troy. New York. dispatch of
January 3lst says:
Not in many years have legal
circles been as excited as they are
today following Justice Wesley c.
Towards bitter attack on the do
nothing" policy of the bench.
Howard Justice of the supreme
court. recently was detailed to the
appellate division by Governor
Sulzer. To the alumni of LaSalle
Institute, the justice last night de-
clareh that the judge of this
country were doing more TO create
ansrchistic conditions than anyone
else.
Brandt the obscure valet. not
guilty at all of the crime Of which
ne was accused, so the attorney
general states, is sentenced to a
state prison for thirty years = prac-
tically for lie; Robin, the million
aire, the alleged wrecker Of bank,
houses and homes goes to Jail for a
year. Morse who pyramided
banks and juggled with millions
gets out of prison because he is sick
while the convict in the next cell,
who stole a coat perhaps, remains
there lanEuishing with sickness I'M
til he dies.
The people are becoming i'm
patient with these discrepancies of
justice and they are dmanding with
a louder voice each day that there
will be reform. II is not well 10
scOff at the mutterings of the
people: there is much reason for il.
But revolutionary measures are to
be avoided. The recall Of judges
and decisions would work no cure
that would p~rerlpltate anarchy.
Let us not deceive ourselves,
the spirit of recall is spreading:
the impaticnce of the masses is
growing deeper. Something will
happen. Unlrs judges act. the
people will at; if they do not re-
sort t. the recall they will revise
The constitution and create new
courts-courts that will do rough
justice; courts that will do sum
mary justice; courts close to the
common people; courts without
tcchnicalities. s~ophis,ry and delay,

FULL CREW LAW

A communication from Railroad
Commissioner ShaughnesSy enclosed
the following:
The Railroad Commission Vt Neva-
da, in compliance with Section 81
of the Railroad Commission law Of,
which makes it the duty of the
commission to enforce the prOyi-
sions Of the Railroad Commission law
and all other laws relating to rail-
roads, has reported to Attorney Geo.
Il. Thatcher that the Southern
Pacific Company is now and has since
about July 10Th, 1909. been operat-
ing their freight trains between
points in Nevada in violation of an
Act to promote Il G public safety
passed March %. 1909. and known
as the full train crew law. The
law requires all railroads. operating
freight trains that carry in excess
of so cars to provide not less than
three btakemen on such trains.
The constitutionality of a police
regulation of this kind has recently
been sustained by the United States
Supreme Court VIXEN it passed upon
the validity Of the Arkansas and
Indiana full laws which we're
before the Court upon writs of error
from the State Courts.
The Nevada full crew law is
practically the same as the Indiana
law and therefore in view of the
fact that the right of the State to
impose a regulation of this nature
has been sanctioned by the United
States Supreme Court, the people
are demanding that the law be en-
forced.
The Commissioners report covers
a number of specific vsOlations
giving dates, designated train
MI nbers, the numbe, of cars in
each train, and the names Of The
%trainmen in charge of surb trains.
Upon the basis of these violations
the Attorney General il requested
to begin legal action for the en-
forcemCnt of the law.

OF
UNDESIRSBLES

About thirty cases of pneumonia
al Rochester and a steady stream
of Patterns from that camp to the
county hospital. which crowded
that institution to an alarming eX-
tent. resulted in drastic action
being taken by the authorities to
eliminate such conditions. An
order was issued by DR.. Russell of
l oveluck, health off Ger for Rochss-
ter, requiring IL places of bust
ness to close at 9 o'clock at night.
The result was that about thirty
undesirable citizens" VINO had not
the price of a meal or bed, but who
went into the camp and bummed
their living from day to day start
ed back TO Lovclock. A few got
rides on freight wagons bat the
most of them walked the entire
distance about twenty-five miles.
Then in order to help a good thing
along, the authorities of Lovelock
grabbed tho undesirablcs and start
ed a class of manual training in
charge Of a competent instructor
on the streets. The scheme has
apparently worked admirably all
around. Superintendent Wilkinson
Of the hospital has had a chance to
get his breath. Rochester has been
relieved from a serious predica.
