The Elk Mountain pilot., 1922-12-07

On the sixteenth day of September,
1893, the Cherokee Strip" was opened
to settlement and became a part of
the territory of Oklahoma. Governor
Renfrow appointed me county attor-
ney of 81" (now Grant, county, and
the duty of organizing the new coun-
ty fell upon the appointed officers.
The day of "the run" Gas the
opening day is referred to by 'old-
timers) was an epoch in the lives of
thousands who looked with longing
eyes to the opening of the strip as
their opportunity to obtain a home.
AS it was my desire to do a general
practice, in addition to performing
the duties of county attorney, my
"shingle" as ATTORNEY at Law" was
hung against the wall of the tent
that furnished place of abode, as
well as an office for the transaction
of business, and was sometimes used
as Jail where prisoners were chained
up to the tent pole to await trial.
Shortly after the Opening" man
came in my tent office and retained
me to represent him in a suit. The
right of possession was involved to a
quarter section of land which both
parties claimed the preferred right to
enter and acquire title to, and this
right of possession was being contest.
ed in an injunction suit. The attor-
neys representing both sides went be-
fore the judge of the district, who
decided against my client. l there
upon advised him to "maneuver
around" until he got in the position
of his opponent. This he did, and we
went before the same judge upon the
same state of facts, with the same
parties and the same lawyers, but
with positions reversed The judge
not to be outdone, promptly reversed
himself, and decided against my eli
ent second time.

of the judge to WELD the might

asked If court was adjourned, and
stated that if court was not in ses-
sion 1 wanted to ask a question. The

His answer was not very satisfac.
tory, and the attorney representing
the other party said to me as we
walked out-"There is one thing you
must learn in this western country;
let law go to hell and study judges
During the nearly a quarter of a
century that has elapsed since this
advice was given me, have found
that the application of the advice is
not confined by territorial limits,
but that the study of judges is as nee
essary in the East as it was in the
West, and that it is of far more prac-
tical Importance than the study of
law
Someone has said, "Let me write
the songs of nation and l care not
who makes its laws" A wise news
paper man has said, LET me write
the headlines of newspaper and l
care not what you put under them"
But those who name the Judges of the
nation exert more power than does
Congress and all the state Legislators
combined. Congress and the legisla-
ture may pass the laws but the
judges determine and limit their
scope and effect, and often emascu-
late and change them, so that the
lawmakers would not recognize their
own handiwonk
Judges s'legislate" under the cam.
outage of "interpretatiOn" upon al.
most every proposition that vitalIy
affects the public.
The bench, in my opinion, contains
the good and the bad-the good by
far outnumbering the bad There are
remarkably few judges who are either
corrupt or dishonest, and the very
few who are corrupt or dishonest are
eventually appraised by the people
and accorded the sincere contemp,
they richly merit.
A lawyer, in court, who had beer
treated with the grossest discourtesy
by the presiding judge, started to
walk out of court, when the judge
rallied out at him and said-"Do you
mean to show your contempt for this
court?" The lawyer politely replied
mo, your Honor, am going out to
keep from showing it." There are
times when to retire from court is
the part Of wisdom and way Of
refuge.
Examine Jurors Not Judges?
When an intelligent lawyer has for
trial case involving large interests,

and hours of the time of the court
are spent questioning the members of
the panel for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not any of the
jurors have financial interests that
might affect their judgment in rem
dering a verdict; their social and po-
litical affiliations, and the organiza-
tions they belong to; and any other
fact or circumstances, calculated to
prejudice them iArendering a verdict
are carefully inquired into and con-
sidered. Ample provision is made for
this examination of jurors, and it is
not considered reflection on a pros
pectWe juror to ask questions calcu-
lated to bring out the facts.
III the same questions were asked OF
or concerning the Judge presiding at
the trial; II questions were asked that
seemed to suggests that the Judge
himself might not be free from pre-.
iudice, because of reasons for which
the judge would sustain challenge to
a juror and decline to permit him to
serve-unless such questions were
very automatically framed, the law
yer would be in serious danger OF
punishment for contempt. And yet
the Judge is the athirteenth Juror,
rendering the verdict.
In an address delivered some time
ago, New York Federal Court Judge
solemnly warned the members of the
bar against criticism of judges, and
intimated that one who indulges in
criticism of the judge was an enemy
of society, engaged in tearing down
the bulwarks of civilized government.

Many of the grades are learning
Christmas songs and poems already.
The intelligence tests which were
given before Thanksgiving are being
scored now. These tests are the stand
ard ones used in schools all over the
United States. This week the teach
ers who gave them to the grades will
give them to the high school, When
only one person gives and scores a
test the results are more accurate.
Since a number of the high school
boys have showed much interest in
the radio field Mr.. Heagney has or
ganized Radio Club whose purpose
will be to learn the parts of different
sets and also how to make and assem-
BILE home outfits. The club consists
of real live wires and the prospects
for interest seem very bright in the
new field.
Instructions in the proper care of
the teeth were given to the little
folks in the First grade, section B,

child provided with tooth brush, tooth
paste, and a cup. Then an actual

was given to help start the class
Alright. The materials for these in
structions and drills are furnished

approaches rivalry is permeating ev-

B of the first grade through the
eighth in the matter of interior dec
orations that shall most clearly set
forth Christmas impressions. The
blackboards in a number of instances,
