deal to arouse interest among high

During the past season 70.5 acres OF
corn were grown by twenty-elght
g.. 10 o
school agricultural departments,
and the year previous 1876 acres
were grown by twenty-six farm boys.
The net profit realized by these
twenty-six boys was $3,135.S5. The
net profit for all crops grown that
year by farm boys enrolled in agri-
cultural departments in Delaware
high school was $1O,308.2l; a very
creditable showing.

WHAT IS A JUDGE?

Baker has asked question Gin defense of two writers adjudged in contempt of court) that should be asked daily by the citizens in order that the high standing of our courts shall be maintained. Even persons un- fitted for the judgeship will be helped ito do jus tice' if liberty and justice loving people have true understanding of what judge really is.
 We will let MT. Baker speak for under present circumstances, more weight will be given to his words than to ours, will his motive be ques- toned. :*

"Labor is superior to capital and deserves much the higher consideration.

WHY LIKE SUTHERLAND-HE HELPS
 METLAKATLANS REGARDLESS

There are number of reasons why like Dan Sutherland, the chief reason is this-that he does what he thinks is right regardless.
 The overwhelming vote of the people of Met- lakatla was in favor of George Grigsby against Dan. George told them (as did the full Demo- cratic ticket) what he would do for them( that he would get them the Industrial School work for a continuation of their reservation, etc).
 All that Dan could say was that he would con- tinue to work for their interests he saw it.
 On this subject his intercession for the Metla- katlans, (the people who deal in Eulachon (ooli- gan) Oil, is very interesting and commendatory We however wonder if these strange people will appreciate what he does.
 MT Sutherland-(in the tariff hearing page 9006) am going to ask that eulachon oil be plac- ed on the free list. It is product of northern British Columbia. It is the Candle" Fish that naturalists write so much about The native peo- ole press the pith of a rush piece of bark thru it and use it a a candle for illumination. By of it's oiliness this oil is easily extracted and the natives use it as sort of primitive food The southern Alaska natives go over to British Columbia, trade with the British Columbia tives and bring back this eulachon oil part of their food supply The importation amounts to only about 1000 gallons year. The hardship on these natives, every time they have little eula- chon oil, and have to pay the 20 per cent ad val- orem duty on it, is considerable, so am asking to have it placed on the free list.'

literature pictures him to us. 1t isn't Jener1eS. Let us take the other end of the line.
 What did Jefferes do? Primm made some kind of contemptuous remark about Judge Jef1er- ies. I said this morning that everybody in Eng land was afraid to speak ill of him. Primm spoke ill of him. Jefferies dragged him into the court house and directed the sheriff. or whatever they called the executive officers of the courts in those days to pare off his ears and the poor devil went off with his all slit and bleeding, and in his what the judge did, and the judge ordered him take another toll from his poor wounded ears. Three times that happened
 And does anybody suppose that Jeneries preserved the dignity of court or made anybody respect him by being cruel about personal thing "a personal feeling that he had? Everybody ervates the memory of Jefferies. They bow their heads in shame over the ignoblest man their profession has produced, they mention with de- testation man who venged his personal spleen upon defenseless person and thought that arbi- trary power could make up for the defects of in justice exhibited upon the bench"
 "Mr. Cline (the attorney for the prosecution) is going to rise and tell your honor that he feels it is his duty under your appointment to tell you to be very stern and very severe with these de- fendants. He is going to tell you that the dignity of the court of common pleas is involved and that you must do something to vindicate the dignity of the court forgetting unless you forget warn you-that the dignities of courts are not preserv- ed by severity upon their critics but are preserv- ed by the righteousness of their decisions"
