SPEEDING UP JUSTICE

1t is generally admitted by those in the profess
sion of law as well the lay members of society
not legally trained that the American system OF
jurisprudence is the sowest on earth We have
tendency to capitalize the theory that justice is
slow but sure and build up barriers to be certain
that the slow feature is upheld Yesterday President
Roosevelt recommended to the Congress that steps
be taken to speed our legal machinery up bit and
get some action where heretofore the best word in
cur legal language has been appeal Particularly,
the President referred to the higher Federal courts,
but the suggestion could well apply from the smallest
city police court TO the Supreme bench.
The court dockets of the land are flooded with
cases that have been in legal dispute for years We
have more laws on our statutes to delay justice than
any country on earth The theory be traced back
to the early history of the nation when our fore
fathers the victims of persecution determined TO pro-
tect the innocent They established in our system OF
Justice every protection for the accused for the simple
reason that the accused prior to that time had little
or no protection The old English idea was that a
person was guilty until proven innocent. The first
Americans had too much of that so they re-
versed the procedure and declared that person was
innocent until proven guilty Their idea was sound
and just even as is today But in the intervening
years more ard more technicales have been written
into our statutes by who would profit thereby
to protect the criminal and to delay the admins
tration Of justice. All. 49, g &
1t is nothing novel at all under our present set-ul
to have in the court for from five to ten years
1t may in city police court 1t is appealed
to the state Superior court then to the state Supreme
court thence to the Circuit Court and finally to the
Supreme court of the United States. Each and every
step requires weeks months and sometimes even years
Delay follows delay. One technically follows another
until the accused person persons or those involved
in suit do not die of old age they may get decision
that is final
In the Territory do not have the state courts
but even under system have ample evidence OF
how long it takes to get verdict from the Circuit
Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The docket OF
that court usually is cluttered ahead for months The
ursts naturally far behind in their work for the
simple reason that there is more work than they
can do
The Presidents idea is to increase the number o.
judges and thus speed the legal machinery 1t is ar
admirable idea. AS the Chief Executive said "Thest
proposals do not raise any issue of constitutions
law And of course they do not. The self appointed
guardians of the Constitution have nothing to worry
about The fundamental principles OF our system arr
as good The idea is to mete out justice with
a reasonable degree of dispatch.

Cooperation
Seattle Journal of Commerce)

Seattle Journal of Commerce.
The plan for bringing about industrial harmony
in Seattle as presented to the city by President
George K Comstock of the Seattle Chamber OF Com
merce is entirely constructive If openly and honestly
accepted it will prove of value than any
movement yet undertaken i'll Seattles history.
There is no fundamental why labor and
capital should be natural enemies There is no reason
why there should not be whole hearted cooperation
Naturally there will be disputes. Difficulties VIII
arise, but they can be adjusted
The cost of all parayzng strikes is, in the enc,
paid by the public Mr.. Comstock appears to sense
that fact very keenly His plan is drafted Tor the
public welfare than for the interests OF business
men or labor, but it will prove of tremendous ad-
vantage to the latter if adopted
Why shouldn't labor men, union craftsmen be
members of the Chamber of Commerce and JOIN IN
its work under the program advocated Why Shoudn
business men who have done little but criticize the
chamber join and take active interest in the WORK
of much bigger and better organization?
We naturally gravitate into self-centered groups
Then the discomfort of radicals in either the ranks
of labor or capta-and capital also has its radicals
is felt and the flames of industrial strife are famed
The resulting friction proves costly 10 all ana Ine
bills must be paid.
We suggest that labor join and work with the
chamber and that those business men who have
never been sold" the chamber join and assist iii
making the type of organization they feel is needed
They may be agreeably surprised at the work the
Chamber of Commerce is attempting. The organlza :
ton affords perfect contact point between intelligent
labor and capital There each can get the viewpoint
of the other They things from common
ground and can certainly iron out most OF their
difficulties as they
The day of the Rabbit chamber of commerce is no
more There is not the slightest reason why labor,
through the cooperation offered should not help in
making the work of the chamber the greatest factor
in bringing about industrial harmony and suppanting
the absurd antagonism of the past so costly to all.

WHY ALASKANS PROTEST

For the steenth time the matter of asking that
the Merchant Marine Act, Jones law, be made APP
plicable to Alaska has become a lively topic in the
north The bill again is in the Legislature and already
the House has approved memorial asking Congress
eliminate the Alaska exclusion clause from the act
The law as most will recall was fathered by the
late Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington state.
1t and is aimed to foster the American merchant
marine 1t makes exclusive for American ships the
right to haul between American port and an
other and to a degree has been successful But while
the act is in force in the States, Alaska not being
state sovereignty is excluded from the law. The
specific words Alaska Excluded" may be found in
the act. Thus many Aaskans feel that the residents
of the Territory are being Disseminated against.
They feel that if resident of Seattle order goods
from the east coast and ship it through Canada to
Seattle resident of Juneau, Ketchikan or Fairbanks
should be able do the thing 1t would appear
to be logical conclusion Why residents of Alaska
should not be granted the privileges resi-
dents continental United States is rather mystery?
Alaskans ask premium for living in the Territory
but they naturally can not see why they should be
penalized for living here.
There may have been valid commercial reasons
for excluding Alaska the first instance. But the
strike which is just fairly clear example of
how the Territory suffers when transporta-
ton facilities tied up If the Jones law had been
applicable to Alaska our merchants could have had
the same privileges of transportation via Canada as
Seattle enjoyed But they did with the result that
every one knowS--Alaska hamstrung.
Though granted that the original sponsors of the
Alaska exclusion clause did not anticipate such a situa
ton and that American shipping should be protected
against foreign invasion it is difficult to grasp the
theory that residents of continental United States
are entitled full American privileges while residents

An Army Cook Again Comes Into His Own
port Angeles Evening News

port Angeles Evening News
Any man who had any part in a military
crga alton must have read with interest of the
passing of Kokomo Jones who held the distinction OF
having been the oldest enlisted man in the A. E. F.
Kokomo Jones died at the Iowa Soldiers Home
the other day at the age of n, and was buried IN
Corning Ia. To his funeral came brass hats and
political big-wigs, to say nothing of former buck
prvates of high and low degree The affair drew
good deal of attention
For Kokomo Jones' who served in the Spanish
American and on the Mexican border as well as
in France was a cook-one of the vast unsung tribe
of army cooks who get reved and cursed by whole
generations of soldiers but who, when they are good
must certainly go to of the most comfortable cor
ners of the Heaven that awaits good soldiers.
Jones wheeled his rolling soup kitchen after
certain Company K of the Rainbow Division, through
Champagne Chateau Thierry ST. Mhiel and the
Argonne He won no decorations, no citations, and
no mentions in dispatches, but he supplied the chow
When it needed most and he got it there hot.
Napoleon-or General Sherman or Hannibal, or
somebody-remarked that army travels on its
stomach 1t does than that: it fights, sleeps,
and dreams of home its stomach.
1t confides its morale. its valor, and its hope of
undying fame to the hands of its cooks.
Now the cook is not romantic figure and the
least romantic of all cooks is the army type Heroic
attitudes the ramparts are not for him; neither
are the parades the medals, and the cheers OF the
multitude
In its wisdom Providence may and often does,
send wind and rain to put out his fires The quarter
masters wagons may go astray the company Itself
may be lost somewhere in the darkness and the helpers
assigned to may be nitwts incapable OF slicing
onions without cutting off their thumbs.
No matter the cook somehow has to get the
chow together and get it up there. He will get no
praise he succeeds and if he fails he will be cursed
as Missouri mules are seldom cursed
But if it is any comfort to him, he can brood on
reflection that he is the indispensable man in
the entire army.
Once in great while the army cook comes into
his own. Kokomo Jones did; they made big affair
out his funeral and after Taps had sounded over
his grave the bugler remarked that I'VE couldn't have
done any if he'd been general
And that is it should be- Generals come and
go and they much of a muchness; cooks-good
ones who'll be there with a bowl OF beans When you
need it most-are beyond price.
