BY FRED L. BOALT.

Is there code of ethics to reg
ulate the department of an loffi-
Ger of the law in pursuit Of an
armed and murderous criminal?
Sheriff r.. w. Jameson says
there isn't. And Jameson says he
is going to put crimp in the
gentle art of burglary in Pierce
county before he has been on the
job long.
The orthodox way is to request
the burglar to throw up his hands.
III he hesitates, you threaten him
with dire consequences. II he
reaches for his gun, you shoot
and perhaps you miss. And then,
quite likely, he shoots you.
Jameson says: when a GRIM
inal is at work and armed, shoot
him like dog. The only ex-
pense the taxpayers ought to be
put to in connection with an arm
ed burglar is the price of a coffin
and a lot at the cemetery"
Sunday night two of Jamieson's
deputies left on the last car for
Ruston where, il had been tipped
off, burglars intended to rob the
home of p. PopOvich and kill him
and the members of his family.
JamiesOn's last instructions to the
deputies were:
'If there is any shooting to be

Thrift and Levi p. Morton are
terms that equal each other lin
the minds of New Workers
among whom he has made his
home for almost 90 years-and
of the people of the country to
whom he has given service more
or less useful, as it was more or
less varied.
A vice president, governor, a
diplomat, a banker all these
things are represented in the sum
of Morton's existence, and all of
them have brought capital and
credit to-Morton.
The dollar mark heads the
Morton paragraph in American
history. George Morton, the an
cestor who linked the American
family to the old country, was
the financial agent In London of
the Mayflower pilgrims.
In the town of Shoreham, VT,
he was born 80 years ago last
May. Son of poor preacher, he
sought his fortune in New York.
At the age of 80 he was able to
organize a dry goods business.
The venture did not succeed,
however. and he determined to
try Wall street.
During the Civil war days when
others were shouting patriotism,
Morton conserved his natural re-
sources and added to his ma
terial wealth. His success as a
banker was immediate. Corne-
Illus Bliss was at one time his
partner, and the business spread
it's branches throughout the
country and overlapped into Eu-
rope.
AS representative business
man with interests in France, he
had been made one of the hon.
orary commissioners to the Paris
exposition in 1878. Mr.. Morton
then sought further position in
the political world. He was a
member of the national house of
representatives for one term,
1S79-81, and was sent to France
as minister and served from
1926. In 1889 he was elected

, and he's gone the limit in all of
them.
When he was deputy county
attorney he made the "tax shirks"
pay their share, and he broke up
the graft of the "tax sharks"
As a member of the city coun-
ell and chief deputy at the sher-
ifs office he Lit into the Tacoma
vice syndicate, and for time he
made the fur fly. He succeeded
in persuading the city to shut off
the water and light from the sym
dicate's tenderloin, drove the
white slavers out of the city, and
neatly ruined a business that was
paying its owners, most of them
prominent socially and in bust
ness, "a net profit of 900 q day.
Jameson went to the legisla-
ture. He helped to pass the s.
hour day law for women, a full
crew law for railroad men, the
employers liability law, and the
initiative, referendum and recall
I've made some enemies"
says Jameson, "but more friends.
And I've generally got the best of
my enemies by practicing the ad-
vice 1 gave my deputies-if there
is any shooting to be done, 1 do
it."
All of which goes to show that
the future in Pierce county looks
bilious for burglars.

done, you do it,"

done, you do it,"
There was quite a lot of shoot
ing done, and the deputies did ii
all. The corpses of two Aus
trian "badmen" shot full of holes
testify to the excellent quality OF
their craftsmanship.
"You do it," Jameson had said ;
and the deputies did it, knowing
they had full authority from their
superior to go the limit.
Jameson goes the limit. He
does things hard. He believes i'm
fresh air. Does he open the win
dow a crack? No; he wants all
the air there is. He believes in
exercise. Does he walk around
the block for exercise? No; he
legs it five miles.
He is that kind of a man-big
and healthy and full of fun and
pepper. He likes to fight. He
goes the limit when he fights. If
he were a poker player, he would
be the first to suggest taking off
the roof.
He goes the limit in politics.
He's a Bull Mooser plus. He's for
everything radical. Initiative and
referendum? Sure! Recall? You
bet! Including judges? Espe-
cially judges. Dear, dear! How
such sentiments shock the timid!
He's held lot of public offices,

vice-president of the United
States and two years after his
term expired in 1893 he was
chosen governor of New York and
served until 1896.
The sum of his public service
gives little more than the total of
the years he served. Leaving
public office was simply moving
permanently into the bankers
sanetum from which his desk and
chair and pen had never been
moved.
Nobody has ever a word to say
against the character or achieve
ments of Mr.. Morton. He admits
he is getting old, but he has kept
on working Just the same until
weakened recently by severe i'll
ness. He has declared he would
die If he didn't go to his office
every morning. He is the oldest
living banker in Wall street.

A speedy trial list is to be formed of
cases where there is no defense.
Judges are to retire at the age of
seventy-two, or after six months ab-
Sence.
Judges are to be allowed to retire
after ten years service on the condition
that they serve if called upon during
such period as would make up fifteen

to be supernumerary judges.
Pensions after five years service or
less. are to be $500, with 81 OcO year
extra for every extra year service, the
maximum being 1880 for fifteen years

Not Habit to Assess Full Value.

1t is not necessary to raise the stand
ard of assessment from two-thirds to
full value to be in the fashion among
American cities. 1t is not the American
habit to assess at full value. The bull
etin on the financial statistics of cities
in the census of 1910 shows that OF 1874
American cities having over 10000
popula tion. l29 are assessed at less than
full valuation and 55 norninally at full
valuation. OF these 80, % are in Mas
