TENNANT, Bul of April, Notary *ubdlic tn and for State of Washingtom, residing at Seattle =——,_ rrr rr What Next? We make too much of the idea that a man must be tried by a Bary of his peers, was the sentiment of Taft's speech before the Yale Taw school , and the big legal sharps down cast are indorsing the Sentiment. The trend is toward abolishment of trial by jury, and Mere's nothing remarkable about that. “Eternal vigilance fs the price of liberty,” now as ever, and, un- Beas the people bestir themselves, all chances of justice for the masses ‘Will soon be in the hands of the creatures whom organised corporation Anterests and reckless partisan politics put upon the bench. What regard for the fundamental rights of free speech and the Babeas corpus have the petty federal judges shown when under the Pressure of corporation influences? Why, recently, out west, a federal Madge sent some workmen to jail because they refused to unload a Wagon! White slavery—as bare as any that black man ever endured under the cloak of the law! Nothing less than that. No free speech. No right of habeas corpus. No jury trials. Enforced labor, WHAT NEXT? Just this—A CENSORED, CRAVEN PRESS! And yet hundreds Wf newspapers in this country stand ready, in behalf of dirty little Barty politics, to spread nauseating adulation upon such “jurists” #@s Taft until their layers of pride and arrogance exceed in thickness @ven their layers of tallow, and such things as the rights of man be- ome with them matters of indifference. There are, to be sure, gtoss imperfections in the administration af the criminal law, as Taft told tho legal sprigs of Yale, but most of are due to the lawyers. The mass of our icg' ition is by b The mass of our legislation {s designed to make business for rs. Lawyer-made laws have so filled the mouth of justice with hairpins of technicality that she's not only speechless, but it takes who has given a lifetime to the study to tell whether she's dead alive. The innocent man is lucky if, after mortgaging all he has he can live long enough to roll the big rock of his proof up the of demurrers, contiveances and appeals.

But in spite of the fact that It was all a dream, next evening al the wedding supper everybody wondered that the wedding cake was served on a large tray, upon which was laid an ugly doily, worked with horrid purple, blue and yellow pansies.
