To Invoke Injunction

LARAMIE.-A petition has been
filed in the district court. by District
Attorney Patterson. asking an in.
junction against the owners and les
sees of the building On First street
which was recently rented to the 1.
w. W. organization. closing the build
ing because 1t is being operated as a
public nuisance.
Injunction proceedings were started
nearly a year ago but pushed
TO conclusion because the building was
vacated and locked up by h county
sheriff. The acts OF the representa-
tives of the I. w. W. occupying the
building were considered a continue
ton Of the nuisance. inasmuch al
three of the members have been sum
moned before the court within the past
three or four days on charges of
drunkenness, bootlegging n disturb
ance respectively. and that one of
these forfeited his bond, while the
other two now repose in the county
jail.

Refuse Ranch Jobs

sHERIDAN-Shutting down of con-
struction camps on light grading

as earlier in the season.

cy. said Tuesday morning that men
who had been laid off rom construc.
tion camps had refused As cents an
hour at irrigation Jobs, and the
Beckwith Agency reports no help
available for haying at 81 a day. The
Union Agency experienced the same
scarcity of day laborers that existed
before the railroad construction began
in h spring.

to Be
Held

ARAMIE@Commencement exercises
will be held at the close OF the pres
emit session OF summe school for that
large body of students who will be
awarded degrees from the University.
This is the first time that such rec
ognition of the students graduating
during the summer has been made
and is the result OF a great deal of
pressure brought TO bear on the sub
ject by the officers of the student
body, which prior &c last summer was
never organized. Dean Maxwell has
cooperated loyalty in the undertaking
and it is through him finally that the
exercises have beer brought about.
August 81. the last day Of h term,
has been set for the exercises and
an appropriate program is being ar
ranged. A meeting OF those who will
earn degrees was called this after
noon.
Former president OF the Universe
ty, C. A. Duniway. has been secured
as speaker for this occasion. DR.
Duniway for the past six years has
been president of Colorado College at
Colorado Springs. having resigned
last winter. and has recently been
appointed director OF the British di'
vision of the American University
Union. He is a splendid speaker and
Interested in the development OF the
University Of Wyoming.

OF Course

1t was morally certain that the senator's and
members of the house more recently elected upon
and other tickets would rise to the
occasion and proclaim loudly for congressional in.
of oil, because of the gas war now rag.
ing among retailers. They could not overlook an on
of this sort. 1t would not matter to them,
of course that investigation of the same subject
has ragged in past sessions and that the perpetual
La Toilette inquiry is still under way, for no other
purpose, that anyone can see, except to afford the
Wisconsin senator n chance to rant.
Frazier of North Dakota and S~hipstead Of Min.
nesota desire investigation now. But it is apprc.
hended that Investigation is not so much their OBJ
ject as is public attention to themselves. These
dry farmers who know about as much concerning
the production and refining of oil and the manu-
facture of gasoline as does Senator La Toilette
are the very proper persons to head committees
for the further examination of one of the largest
of the country.
II any new efforts are made in this direction
II is hoped that n report may be expected sometime
and the matter closed up, and not have another
operating like La Follette's committee
running along forever, and used primarily for har.
RAISING industry.
While the oil interests OF the country are per.
fectly competent TO take care of themselves, the
useless annoyance caused them, and the bad influ-
ence constant investigation and government inter
ference has upon all industry, should be choked
off. If industry Is to prosper, 1t needs more en-
enlargement and less supervision.
Tho furry in gasoline means but little and will
mean less in n few weeks from now. II will take no
great length of time to market the surplus what.
ever it may be.

Criticism of the Judiciary

The punishment recently of an editor in New
Mexico, for contempt of court by a judge and his
prompt pardon by the governor on the ground that
the punishment was excessive, recalls a case arts.
ing nearly a century ago in the federal Jurisdiction
of Missouri. In that case an attorney named Law
less was fined, imprisoned and suspended from
practice for eighteen months for writing to a news
paper a letter in which the attorney criticised the
rulings of Judge James II. Peck in a case in which
the attorney had appeared before the judge in
question and which was still pending on appeal at
the time of the publication of the letter. Peck was
impeached for the contempt proceedings but was
acquitted by a vote of % to n because it had not
appeared that he had acted maliciously. but under
a mistaken sense of right, for which the tradition
of the English courts seemed to lend some color of
support. A federal law was then passed March 9,
1881 to prevent a repetition of the occurrence by
limiting the power of federal judges to punish for
contempt
The incident is worth recalling today, for there
is a very general opinion that judiciary, unlike the
legislative and executive departments OF the govern
ment, is immune to legitimate criticism. This is a
serious mistake, because, of all three departments,
it is most important that a watchful eve be kent ON
judicial conduct. Judges are not a law to them
selves and their acts should be carefully scrutinized
should they give evidence of judicial alteration. If
Tor example, judicial sentences by their lenience
seemed to do violence to reason and public justice,
it would certainly be the right of the organs of
public opinion to comment on them In the public
interest, and the laws permit 1t u. s. Rev. St,
Section 1851
1t is for example, generally agreed that the exten.
sion of the Volstead act to foreign ships in our
waters though technically within our right, never.
theless constitutes an exception to the well estab-
lished custom Of nations engaged in international
commerce. Now the supreme court Of the United
States has decided that international custom and
the comfy of nations do not apply in the case of
the Volstead act. But we are not therefore debarred
from asking what essential element of the Volstead
law In itself SO differentiates it from all other
domestic laws as to constitute it such an exception.
Would it be unreasonable or derogatory to the
dignity of that court to say that unless the Vol.
stead act contained an express provision that the
comfy OF nations should not apply in its opera
ton It Is impossible to understand why an excep.
ton should be made in that particular case?
There is a general opinion that the judiciary is
practically immune from criticism, but the fact is
that in a free government no department or public
office enjoys such immunity, and it would be well
iif both the public and the judiciary itself were
occasionally reminded of this important truth.
