LEGAL PIFFLE AND DRIVEL
CMedford Mail.Tribune.


The supreme court of the state Of
Oregon in its opinion in White VS.. East
Side Mill & Lumber company, a case
on appeal from Multnomah county, has
Just perpetrated most glaring outrage
against common sense and justice.
White was u traffic policeman on
duty in Portland and was run over by
one Of defendant $ trucks. His widow
brought suit and recovered a judgment
for 81 500 in the circuit court of Multi
nOmah county An appeal was taken
on the ground that the lower court erred
In overrulng a demurrer to plaintiff s
reply to the answer, wherein plaintiff
denied that deceased "had careessly
and negligently turned his back on de-
fendant's truck" The contention be-
ing that the reply should deny that he
had carelessiy or negligently turned his
back ON defendants s truck
After a pedantical discussion Of
negative pregnants, the upper court re-
versed the decision on the theory that
it violated the most ancient rules of
common law pleading.
OF all the stilted-hair-brained, hair,
splitting and refined tcchnicalities up
on which to outrafge justice this is the
extreme limit. Is it any wonder that
the people are crying out against the
law S technicalities and delays, and that
judges and courts are in disreputcl
For pure slush and drivel the Oregon
supreme court is entitled to the banner,
and this, may it please you, must go
down in the annals of Oregon iurispru-
dence as an established precedent for
future generations to pattern to-

TO He'll and Back"
an Interesting Trip

Despite the rain last evening a large
audience gathered at the First Baptist
church to hear DR.. W. b. Hinson g ser
mon on "To Hell and Back" The dis
course was an analysis Of Peters de.
scent from discipleship and fellowship
with Jesus to the depths of blosphem-
remOrse, and his restoration to man
hood and loving, loyal, service. Fol
lowing Jesus a far off, selfish associa-
tiOn with the ungodly, and sitting with
the scOffers was the road Peter travel
ed to his downfall.
DR.. HinsOn showed last night many of
the qualities which make him a strong
and popular preacher. His word pic
lures made the scenes real to his hear
ers. With dramatic power and persua.
sive eloquence he forced home the truths
which the incident revealed Watchful-
mes slest we fall sympathy for the err.
ing, dependence on God, the love and
forgiveness of God who gives us a
second chance, were sOmfe of the les.
sons drawn from Peters experience.
These truths were well illustrated from
experiences in the preachers s ministry.
The large number who responded to the
appeal showed the endorsement given
to the message.
Tonight's theme will he "The Strong.
est Thing in the World" The service
from 3 to 4 this afternoon and the serv.
ice this evening will be the last services
this week. DIR. Hinson will speak morn.

ment. A fifty million bond issue is
to provide the initial funds.
Exhaustion Of free land that can
bs worked for a living is Crosser's
reason for introducing this measure.
On the ether hand, he points out that,
millions of acres, formerly belonging
to the government are held specu-,
latively out Of use by those who ac-
quired title from the original set
tiers. He would have the commission
reacqlirG such land as is necessary
for cuIonizing purposes.
While useable free land remained,
Cr"sser points out, the nation all
ways had a safety valve against the
vast phases Of unemployment. To-
day any sudden industrial depression
throws tens of thousands of workers
upon charity for their substance.

WILSON ASSAILS
 UNPATRIOTIC STAND
Makes Point That Foreign Affairs Are Out Of Place in U. s. Politics

Buffalo Nov 2.-President Wilson ously assailed MT. Hughes and Theo- dore Roosevelt for attempting to drag foreign affairs into domestic politics. Although the president, following his name, his language made it plain that he referred their recent criticisms.
 The president condemned such criticisms as partisan" and "unpatri- otic." He denounced political lead CTS "who never heed any counciP' and "believe they have a special union with Divine Providence"
 T want to register my solemn pro- test,' declared the president in his ad- dress at the Ellicott club, against the use of our foreign relationships for political advantage. I cannot, I will not, regard any man as pa triot who does that-men who in the midst of the most critical rela- tionships the details of which they do not know, make play with the loss of the lives of American citizens even in order that they may create a domestic political advantage"
 Menace to Public Peace"
 Using political parties for such blind partisanship, the president de- clared was a menace to public peace" and misuse of parties for the ad- vantage of the organization rather that the benefit of the nation.
 This is the nearest approach presi- dent Wilson has made to answering the criticisms of Colonel Roosevelt on the administrators foreign policy. It was evident from his tone that Roosevelt's attacks have at last got beneath the surface.
 "I could mention fellow citizens of ours" declared the president with emphasis, which the crowd at once undertook to apply to Colonel Roose- welt, who never heed any council ex- cept the internal mentor which they have come to believe has a special union with Divine Providence But they do not get very far, and we do with them exactly what we ought to do. We encourage them to talk. If you have a friend about whom you are in doubt as to whether he is a fool or not, who has large and expansive opinions, encourage him to hire hall. The minute these views are ex- posed to the air nature will take care of them.'
 Received by Crowd
 Foreign nations think we are di- vsded,' said the president at the Broadway auditorium in the evening" Tt is our duty to prove that we are united. About that we cannot put up any bluff.'
 Thousands sought to gain admis- sion to the auditorium, and it took the police nearly half an hour to quiet the disorder caused by hundreds who stood in the aisles and refused to be moved. The hall seated 8,400 persons, and nearly half as many more stood. They applauded the presidents plea for greater vocational education, sjmplified procedure in the courts and the eight-hour-day.
