HON. Stevens
ISHONORE:D
BAR And board

One of the most pleasing events
on the program for the convention
of the board of county judges of
Wisconsin in session here on Thur
sday and Friday was a banquet
honoring Judge e. Ray Stevens of
Madison, supreme court justice
elect of Wisconsin. The dinner was
given by the county judges board
and the Sank County Bar assoc
iation at the Devils Lake Chateau
on Thursday night.
Covers were laid for 1875 guests
on the porch of the pavilion, pleas
antly overlooking Devils lake, and
the diners found this a delightful
spot. Music by the Chateau or
chestra added enjoyment to the
program of speeches and two solos
rendered by Miss Margaret. Sheath
en- in her usual pleasing manner
were apreciatively received.
Judge David Agnew presided and
the first speaker he called upon
was Judge 'Ikey" Karel of Mil
waukee, famous halfback on the
University Of Wisconsin football
team Gtfrng the '90's. He ex-
pressed the appreciation of the
board for the hospitality extended
by the Sank county attorneys and
the residents of Baraboo.
Attorney James A. Stone, presi-
dent of the county organization, re-
sponded to 1.-THE Sank County Bar"
and in his toast he mentioned the
number of prominent members of
the bar who come from this coun-
ty.
The speaker of the evening Judge
e. Ray Stevens, was introduced by
Attorney Herman Grotophorst of
Baraboo with a fitting appreciation
of the work of Judge Stevens dur
ing the % years in which he has
presided in this circuit.
Defends The Courts
In his discourse on "The Courts
and the People, Judge Stevens
gave a splendid defense of the
court, one of the most criticized
of our public institutions, and he
offered a solution for such ills as
may exist therein.
In his opening remarks he ex-
pressed his gratitude for the honor
extended to him and said that he
had always found Sank county peo-
pie hospitable and pleasant. He
promises himself the pleasure of
holding another session of court
here, he said, this to be in Sep
tember
The speaker gave his ideas on
the criticism of the public of the
courts of our state. He stated
that if the people should lose con-
fidence in this institution, we would
drop back to the days of barbarism
when the strong right arm and the
straight aim comprised the sole
means of protection.
Judge Stevens does not believe
that. it is the fault of the court nor
of the lawyers appearing in it that
Justice sometimes miscarries. Oc-
casionally it is a mistake in the
law, a survival of old systems or
unwise legislation, or jury. He
cited several cases in his own ex-
perience in which all evidence
pointed to guilt and yet in which
a jury refused to bring in this YER
dict.
He would have the people as
whole set about to remedy weak
or entangling laws in order that
