on the other hand, have succeeded

"The bourgeoisie is really the pro-

Soldiers seem thus far to have
proved themselves inferior parlia-
mentary tacticians as compared with
radical labor elements. This reali-
cation is dawning on them, and their
movement designed to reform working
methods of the executive committee

IL 'ENVOI!"
(To the Judiciary


The following little parody was suggested
while reading Kipling's "IEnvoi'':
When Earth s last lawsuit is ended,
When the prisoners have all been tried,
When the final decision is rendered.
And the youngest Attorney has died,
We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it,
Lie down for an aeon or two
Till the High Judge of all our decisions
Shall call us to practice anew.
And those that played fair shall be happy,
They shall sit in an office of gold,
And each have a thousand clients
And no claim shall ever grow DID,
And have real Saints for their jurors
Joseph, Peter, and Paul,
And hold Court for an age at sitting,
And never grow tired at ALL

GEORGE MORRIS" IS DEAD

Death after lingering ilness has claimed
Judge George E, Norris and his remains
were cremated yesterday in the presence of
hundreds of friends and those of his rela-
tons as could be present. He had lived in
and near Seattle for the past thirty years
and had wide circle of friends, admirers
and acquaintances, the most Of whom drop
ped tear of regret, w'le1. his earthly career
closed. The editor hereof was Intimately ac-
quainted with him, when he was a practit-
ioner, and was the recipient of the most of
the work that he had to give to publishers,
owing largely to the fact that both Of us
were members c. the same church and fire.
quently met at the residence Of the pastor,
DR.. w. P. George. Among the first ones he
took into his confidence, when he wanted to
go On the bench, was the editor hereof, and
the old convention system Of nominating
judges being in vogue, George Morris was
promised 'Eour' delegation, we being sue
cessful in the primaries, we were and the
solid vote Of the Fifth ward was cast for
George Morris at our earnest solicitation.
He was nominated and elected at that time
and many times thereafter and we contin-
ued to be the best of friends, for, as we saw
him, he was most excellent "fellow' But
suddenly our friendship of long standing
was rent assunder and thereafter we barely
spoke DIS we passed Dy. In granting OIL
vorce to a white woman from black man a
reporter put an ugly insinuation in the
mouth of Judge Morris, which we now be-
lieve he never thought of saying, and we
being identified with the black man, flew to
his defense without first talking the matter
over with the judge. He, of course took ex-
ceptlOns to the severe criticism and our
friendship was at an end. Time however,
softend the situation and he in after years
often said, "Cayton labored under a gross
misunderstanding, as [ never said what the
papers said did say" Neither of us, how
ever felt called upon to right the wrong and
so it continued to the end. Last Saturday
we were very desirous of seeing him, but
knew it would be useless to try for no one
knew our feelings. This is recited to show
how easy it is for lifelong friends to become
bitter enemies over misunderstanding
When neXplainable things arise between
persons the first thing for the aggrieved
party to do is to meet the other party and
calmly talk the matter over and if they do
nine tines out Of ten they will part the same
good friends as of yore. The longer one

the more agrivated it becomes until it de-
veops into first class feud We earnestly

the hard things we had said against him,
because he took into consideration our 10y

on the bench is proud heritage for his son

SEEMS GOOD BUSINESS IDEA
Proposed Commercial Register for HoI'
land Has Powerful Support In
r.. Industrial Circles.

A law to establish commercial reg
lister in Holland has been introduced In
the states general, according to q dis
patch from P. L: Edwards, CONNER
cial attache Of The Hague. 1t is re-
ported to have the support of men,
bers of the government, of high legal
critics and of important business In
terests generally. This is said to be
the culmination Of movement started
20 years ago for the passage of such
law.
One of the most important features
of the proposed law is that it forbids,
the use of precisely the same name
by more. than one concern within,
given districts, it also provides that
In each given district there shall be
maintained a public register In which
would he given the name, age sand
domicile Of each member of firm, as
we'll as the extent to which each one
might be held legally liable for its
obligations. 1t also would make illegal
the use Of deceptive title. including
such words, for instance, as "broth-
ers," "and company" or "and sons"
where the owner is only one person.
From the proposed commercial reg
lister a stranger would be able to as
certain the name and residence Of
holders of not fully paid up shares,
and the full particulars as to the ma
tionality, residence, ETC., of managers.
directors and other officers of corpor-
ations and associations. There would
also be particulars as to former bank
ruptcies of persons or concerns In
question. The present law already pro-
vides for publication Of many Of these
details, but they are only to be found
in such scattered places that in prac-
tice they are not available to the gen.
eral public.
