Joseph Choate, the great lawyer who
has just died, came from a famous
family. He was great orator and a
very witty man, proving that keen
sense of humor is not necessarily d.

judges, especially judges, had sense
Of numor, things would be better. Many
of the judges take themselves entirely
too seriously An interesting thing in
Choate's career was his energy as a

.AJO STRIKER FULL Of
PEACE AND PUCNAC|TY
Especial Correspondence

AJO, Jan. S.-Bordering upon jellyll
and Hyde, was the attitude adopted
by j. kastner in justice court, where be
brought witnesses to establish his
character as a peaceable citizen and
good neighbor and the next minute
turned about to declare his belief in
the commission Of violence upon fellow
men who should choose to exercise the
right to work. and then violently re-
fused to furnish 3. six months peace
bond. in preference 10 going to jail for
six months.
Although Kastner declared in
union meeting when calling a waikout
was under consideration, that the pro-
posed strike was "the most unjust
thing" he had ever heard Of and other
men present joined with him in this,
ne nevertheless went on strike. and went
in earnest. He admitted in court that
ne had 6nockeG two men down early
in the strike period. and later he said
thai he believed in beating all workers,
declaring that this was the only means
through which the strike could be won.
The court told Kastner that his wit
nesses had established that he was a
good neighbor and peaceable, but that
his own outbursts left the court no
, other alternative than to place him un
der bond to keep Ehe peace.
Kastner declared he would ask no
man to go on his bond; that his word
was good. Nor would he be convinced
that the sensible way TO do was 10 cal
upon his witnesses and get them to 60
, on his bond, meeting with the absolute
/ requirements Of the law. So he was

A CLUMSY BLUNDER

MI Lemke seems to have stirred up a hornets mes:
" MS clumsy blunder in attempting to slip over a Sc
cretiy Obtained endorsement of the parti- colored canoi-
date for congress whom he is obediently supporting in
response to the orders Of his boss.
The fact that Mr.. Baer is not a Republican, and has
never progressed to be, and that he has no interests which
1dentify him 'in any way with the districts which he
seeks to represent, these are items which ageravate the
onense OF Mr.. Lemke, but they do not constitute the
main ofense. The iniquity Of his act lies in the fact
tnat holding a position Of trust and responsibility in the
Republican party, in which he is supposed to act for
anu on behalf of the party as a whole, and not for any
secaon OF 1t. he uses that position in an effort to- promote
the interests Of a faction, and, instead of serving the
party IN the manner called for by every consideration Of
decency and propriety, he throws these considerations to
the winds and tries to turn the Republican organisation
1neo a machine for the promotion of a movement utterly
repugnant to a very large number of the members Of
the party which he is supposed to serve.
MI. Lemke has shown himself to be a trickster who
10 utterly unit to be entrusted with the work Of chair
man Of the Republican state committed If he has not
the sense and grace to resign. and there is no reason to
suppose that he has, he should be kicked out. ana the
pace should be given to some man. whatever his polit-
ical opinions and fractional leanings. who has Soma con-.
cepton OF fitness in official conduct.
