We felt that war was cruel, wrong.
But when we go into the field,
Well give the best that strength

We feel ne'er crushed without q

Why should we wait? Why should
we pause?
Well help the ones who need n

Law Courts
EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDlfOR The IlMEo'
II / were blessed with the
deeply religious reverence and
vocabulary of Billy Sunday
would say that courts stink, but
not having the piety that sets
apart certain vaudeville perform
ers from common entertainers
merely arise to remark that the
average courtroom nauseates.
The drooling bailiff; the snap
Ply clerk; the mud-headed profess
sional Jurors, solid ivory from
their shoulders up; the gesticn-
lating gyrating lawyers, the gap
ing, yawning, witnesses, the
sweaty water pitcher, the high,
dull walls, the dusty carpets, the
heavy hot furniture, the smell of
it, the sound of it, the look of it,;
dead, dead, dead; that's the av-
erage hall of justice.
And above all will squat some
political accident. Probably
some slack wit who failed miser-
ably in private practice; some
scant fledgling who wraps his
pseudo dignity about him as a
garment and who dribbles and
drools and drips petty sayings,
piffling, hair splitting inanities.
oh, you judges!
No wonder they depict Justice
with a bandana about her brow.
If she ever took off the ban
dage, and saw the sort OF COM
pany she was keeping, she would
take her badly balanced scales
and wallop the entire crew from
the smelly nest they defile.
Evidence, argument, demurrer,
amended answer, complaint, prec-
edent, exceptions, Instructions
bah, are these the stuff justice is
made of?
How about truth, and virtue,
and kindness, and equality be-
fore the law?
Huh, what are you talking
about? ! know the jury and had
dinner with the Judge, and there
are six ward heelers on the
panel; you should worry about
your case. Five hundred dollar
retainer, please"
Bunk, buncombe, politics,
petty piffling, paltry perversity;
that is what American court pro-
cedure has generally degenerated
to.
The Judge is the law. Only In
this land of the free and home of
the politician does that motto
hold, but your Judge does make
the law, absolutely.
He decides what evidence is
admitted, what is left out, he de-
termines who is responsible
witness and who is not. He can
instruct the jury as he sees tit,
and frequently takes the case

CITY TO BUY
WATER PIPE

Because the price of iron water
pipe Is skyrocketing daily, and
the city fears it will go up to a
prohibitive figure before the red
tape of municipal machinery can
be unwound, members of the
council agreed Monday to forget
about the red tape and purchase
$4,000 worth Of pipe at the mar
ket, without advertising for bids.
This pipe is of 16-inch diam
eter, and is needed to supply
water to the tideflats and the
Todd shipbuilding plant. A quo
tation of $65 ton was received
Monday, with the hint that the
price would advance 5 per cent

IF you had approached this
matter with an open mind and
considered the evidence we laid
before you, you would have seen
that you could have done just that
thing-pleased everybody. The
evidence we presented was that of
the united sentiment of the state
of Washington. You did not con-
slider that evidence. Some one
whom I do not know'-whose
name you will not tell me-you
listened to him-you pleased him.
do you know what would have
happened had you decided this
matter according to the evidence?
There would have been a great
banquet given in Tacoma to which
all Seattle would have been in
vited and which all Seattle would
have attended, celebration of
the end of an old feud-a thing
that would have been celebrated
and rejoiced over throughout the
state. Even those individuals
who appeared here in opposition
would no doubt have been at that
banquet.
Everybody would be glad to
see the end of it. But II anybody
could be spared they could be
lspared. For out of the mouth of
the one unbiased witness, Mr..
