Mr.. Butler had nothing to say in re-

shamed man, and from hence forth
there was lacking the old time warmth
in their friendship.
+ Then there was another incident
that did not help to cement the friend
ship Of the two men. Mr.. Butler, in
speech at Duluth in 1908 before the
Minnesota State Bar association, de.
cried the then existing practice in the
courts on employers liability. He All
vocated an investigation Of the SUBJ
.ject and committee was appointed
to look into the matter. That commit
tee was headed by H. V. Mercer OF
Minneapolis, who devoted the next
three years to study Of the question.
He co.operated with the State Eedcr-
alton Of Labor and the Minnesota En-
ploycrs' association, and out Of such
came a joint request to the Legislature
for the appointment. Of a commission
to draft workingmens compensation
bill to be presented to the next leg
islaturc. The governor was given au-
thority to appoint the commission.
He determined upon a representa-
tive Of labor and representative OF
the employers. The third man he
thought should he lawyer and he
concluded by all the rules Of the game
that H. V. Mercer should be appoint
ed. The representative Of the employ
ers, George M. Gillette Of Minneapolis,
was afraid of Mr.. Mercer. He was too
fair, too honorable and too indepen-
dent. He then sought to have the gov
ernor appoint Pierce Butler instead
of Mr.. Mercer as the third member OF
the commission. Governor johnson re-
fused to fall for the scheme, for the
had learned to know the real Pierce
Butler, and he promptly aPpointed'Mr.
Mercer. Every lawyer in Minnesota
knew that Mr.. Mercer was at the time
the best Informed man in the profess
sion on the various legal phases Of the
proposed workingmens' compensation
act. Pierce Butler knew it, but II. V.
Mercer was too fair and too square to
suit such schcming and crafty rep.

And this is the sort Of material out
of which we have justices Of the Unit

make and unmake our laws.
Pierce Butler is Of the type Of law

the same whoop la methods he would
conduct "selIing' campaign TO,

The record Of the joint congressional
committee .that held hearings on the
bill shows that Mr.. Lasker testified:

would ask me to give the testimony
All Of it has been given me, but my
mind can not hold it all: You will save
a lot of time if you will let US start

The Cordova daily times., 1922-08-10
AND HE RAN ALL THE WAY
 TO CORDOVA

The Seward Gateway printed the following narrative. As Mr. Hanne- man has just been transferred to Cordova, there is a strong suspic- ion among his friends here that he did not consider Seward far enough away fram those bears so ran all the sway to Cordova:
 Forest Ranger G. c. Haneman, who is we'll known in Seward, recently had an exciting encounter with a couple of brown bears, which he humorously describes in letter re- gently.
 The communication in part is as follows:"
 "On the morning of June 30, l left Hope with Ranger Brady and Guard Wolfe We intended to walk un Resurrection Creek Valley for about 15 miles. When we got about . five miles from Hope MT. Brady Complained of his feet hurting him. The day before we walked to Sum- rise from Hope and about three miles past Sunrise and back to Hope again, a distance of about 28 miles. As MT. Brady had not done any long distance walking lately be blistered his feet. So he decided to return to Hope with Guard Wolfe because we intended to walk about 20 miles the next day. I told them I would walk ten miles farther up the valley, as I had never been up there before. So they left for Hope and I continued up the valley.
 Now, when walking alone 1 always whistle as I go along. l do so because I wish to let any bears that happen to be on the trall ahead of me know that I am coming and so give them a chance to get away. I never carry a rifle on my trips, and do not like to kill bears with my hands. It makes such a mussy job.
 "So, as I was saying, I was walk ing along and whistling. l got to thinking about the trials and tribu- ' yNations of life on general and my own case in particular. Finally my train of thought drifted into the past. l recalled and reputed over things that had happened and was wish ing that I could do them over again. In fact, I was thinking so seriously that I absentmindedly and inad-
