planned to the nations dead.
When completed. this marvelously
beautiful structure will excel anything

to the most exalted ideas of perpetual
and universal memorial to the military

q - significance of the events around
which its ceremonies center.
The past year has been one of great
achievement within Arlington's boun-
Haries. and Nav 81 bids fair to witness
the presence of the greatest throng that
has ever at one time assembled to do
homage to the nations soldier and sailor
dead.
Upon this. the forty-seventh celebra-
tion since Gen. John A. Logan established
the first service of this kind in 1868. the
ceremony will be more thoroughly ma
tiona1 than has ever before been the case.
For the principal event of the day is the
dedication and unveiling Of the Maine
Memorial Monument erected by the gov
eminent to the memory Of the dead of
the Inflated battleship Maine which was
destroyed in Havana harbor seventeen
years ago. and with the destruction Of
which 2s4 men and officers Of the ship
were killed and many others wounded
Arlington Is the most beautiful and well
known Of all Of the eighty-three national
cemeteries. Overlooking the National Cap

fitting that it should hold such memorial
monuments as the government erects to

equal interest and equal share, since, IN

Peculiarly appealing to the emotions
is this splendid tribute to the sailors

is designed to keep their martyrdom

No Recourse

The supreme court yesterday denied the plea OF a
man suing Judge HUMPHREYS of Seattle, the talka-
tive, for Islander.
1t did not pass on the question at issue at ALL dis
missing the case with this remark:
1.-THE utterances Of Judges like those OF jurors
and legislators, are privileged. A judge for any
i such wrong is answerable only to the public ;
through process of law, such as impeachment or
otherwise. as may be provided"
This may be good law, as lawyer would be sure
70 say but to the average citizen it certainly reads
strange
WHY should Judge be permitted to make per-
nicious and damaging statements and those against
whom he drives his shafts have no means OF re-
course? What is there about seat on the bench
which necessitates such an exemptionY
s But the supreme court says: "a judge for any
such wrong is answerable only to the public through
process of law, such as impeachment or otherwise,
as may be provided"
"Process of law!' But the supreme bench throws
the case out of court when citizen starts the ordn-
airy process of law, SANDER charge.
"Impeachment!'' So unwieldly an instrument
that Seattle gave up in despair and decided it would
have to keep Judge HUMPHREYS even though he was
universally not wanted, simply because of the prac-
Teal impossibility Of putting impeachment case
through
Cor otherwise, as may be providedv' There amt
no such animal in Washington, and the supreme
Judges know it WELL Some day there will be-a pro-
vision for the recall of judges.
But as the law stands Washington Judge
cannot be removed even if he is insane, until the
formalities Of declaring him legally insane all
have been gone through with.
Until that moment he is privileged to do
what he Wishes say what he wishes, and how
ever much he may damage fellow citizen that
citizen has no recourse.

additional interest fom the fact that
they have remained unoccupied since
