DOESN'T GRASP 1T ALL

TT is to be feared that Gov. Ma" Fer
l guson doesn't thoroly understand the
operation of law and justice. She says,
in explanation of her many pardons, that
liquor laws in Texas are being enforced
against the poor and for the rich. She
hears rich men Dragging about their
stocks of liquor, while the penitentiary is
over-crowded with little hip-flask men
and home brewers.
1T means that justice has become a
mockery,p deduces Mrs. Ferguson, and so
she frees many of the guilty poor
When Mrs. Ferguson first took hold of
the governorship, she frankly proclaimed
that she knew nothing of statecraft and
political chicane and little of law, but
thought that she had pretty reasonable
grasp of ordinary justice. Womanlike,
She has sailed along, officially, in accord
with what she thought she knew, and
now she faces impeachment, because it
isn't ordinary, but extraordinary justice
that operates.
Extraordinary justice in distinction be-
tween poor drinker and rich drinker is
much older than Texas, dear lady.

In The early days, when there was
trouble in Seattle over the Chinese, he
stood by the Chinaman, but did not lose
the friendship and respect of the enemies
of the Orientas.
When trouble between Seattle citizens
and those from Japan has arisen, Judge
Burke was the friend of both. He held
decorations from China and Japan, and
was long ago decorated with love and
confidence by his fellow citizens at
home.
He was the last living charter member
Of the Chamber of Commerce, but was
active and valuable to the organization
TO the last. He was its secretary when it
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1925-12-05

was first organized, and was It's grand
old man the day he went away.
When there were commercial battles
TO fight; or when there were patriotic
battles TO fight, or when there we're the
everyday humdrum battles of his city to
fight, he was always at the front.
Whatever he has done for his home
city has not been for profit, but he has
profited, nevertheless He has profited
financially, spiritually and in the rich
treasures Of friendship.
A sincere, modest, brave man has gone
to his reward, and for the first time
Seattle awaits his Homecoming with
sadness.

all Seattle mourns.
He died in the East late Friday as
he had lived here, fighting for peace and
good will among men. The citizens of

Tho small in stature, for so years he

Cruel COppers Nip
ElOpement in Bud

RICHLAND CENTER-The romance
of sweet sixteen collapsed abruptly
for Foster Peckham, 16 year old, who
eloped with W. M. Bowers, %, from
Richland Center Thursday afternoon
when half an hour after local author
tiles had been notified to keep watch
for them, the couple was taken from
train as it pulled into Madison.
Search for the couple was started
early in the afternoon when neither
could be found in Richland Center.
Divining the intentions of the two,
Sheriff Olson, of Richland Center,
called Sheriff Daggett, of Madison, to
be on the watch for them.
Two Madison deputy sheriffs were
stationed at the Union Bus headquar-
tiers while Sheriff Daggett and Under
sheriff Fred Finn fastened to the rail-
road crossing on the west side of town
to board the train before it stopped
at the depot.
Armed with description of the two,
Sheriff Daggett soon spotted the
clippers. When the train stopped at
the depot he took them from the train
to the Dane county Jail.
Bowers was arrested on charge OF
stealing, having gotten away with
property belonging to Guy Berry at
Boaz. He was brought to the city and
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
given 80 days in jail.-Democrat

BLOOMINGTON TAX RATE $50

At the regular meeting of the Bloom
ington village board Monday evening,
with all members present except Orr,
the tax rate was fixed at 80 mills, a
decrease of six mills from last year.
Some extraordinary expenses last year
made the rate the highest in the his
tory of the village, road work and the
sewer system being largely RESPONSE
BILE. The past year not as much work
has been done along this line, and
there being no state tax and lighter
county tax because of the gas tax for
road purposes and using some of the
large balance on hand in the county
treasury, the welcome reduction is
made possible. Home owners, how
ever, will in many cases pay more
than last year. A home assessed at
$500 paid $36 taxes last year because
of the $500 homestead exemption, and
this year with no exemption the taxes
at the 30-mill rate will be $45. On
homes having larger valuation the
taxes will be about the same as last
year.-Record.
