We refer to the term “nolo contendere,” which is Latin for “How to get out of it,” and consequently likely to prove serviceable We hadn't met “nolo contendere” face to face since the Jong gone dear days when good old Professor Perkins larruped us a section of a wagon spoke for whispering “amo Sally Jones” to the red-headed girl at the next desk, until we recently gaw it in court proceedings presided over by Judge Archbald in New York. Sixty-two members of the wire trust had been indicted. A ema! delegation of them, knowing that the prosecuting attorney had them to rights, went before Judge Archbald and he fined em a thousand dollars or so, probably one per cent of a year’s gal profits, and permitted them to enter pleas of “nolo con- tendere.” As soon as the other trust blacklegs learned that the “nolo contendere” was working, they rushed into Judge Archbald’s court in flocks and got fined similarly nominal sums, until the total fines eroded to $71,000 for the 62. This was a huge Joke on the prosecution, meaning justice, which had spent probably five times that sum bringing the scamps into court. You see the importance of our informing you about “nole contendere,” don’t you? It’s Latin, high-toned, and smacks of knowledge of legal technique. It is much more refined than the horny-handed English “guilty.” First time you get before ¢ judge plead “nolo contendere” at him. If he's the right sort of ‘&@ judge and you're the right sort of an offender, it will tickle him mightily to show that “nolo” does the business The Uneducated East .- The senate vote against Arizona’s recall of judges was just about what was to have been naturally expected-—-Bailey, both New York senators, both Pennsylvania senators, both Rhode Island senators, Brandagee of Connecticut, Burnham of New Hampshire, Crane of Massachusetts, Dillingham of Vermont, ae trailing along at the tail of the procession such as old ute Nelson, Smoot and Heyburn. gg poem to radical e usually consists of New York, nnsylvania, New England and the riff-raff.

Greatly Exaggerated “The Standard Oil company, first and most famous of giant trusts, is dead,” according to the New York World. And all because the trust stock will be distributed among 33 concerns owned by the same men. As Mark Twain said of his own reported death, many years ago, “It is greatly exaggerated.” The World may fool itself or possibly its readers, But it can’t fool Mr. Rockefeller, nor the stock market, where Standard Oil rose on the “decree of death” contained in the supreme court decision.

Editor Star: Dear Sir: Being a constant reader of the Star, I am taking the liberty of addressing ind beg to express my ap prect method of your paper in advocat- {ng legitimate ways and means to overcome the bulldozing methods ot @ monopoly which the majority of us have to patronize in order to get to and from work. The first passenger ejection from ® street car in this city caused through ignorance in not boarding history now. A great deal has been said regarding | 4 similar cases aince, ane yet it still keeps up, but ine more brutal manner.

In their wrestling to eject him several of the ladies, who were compelied to stand owing to the crowded condition of the were unmercifully mauled ar some of them getting hysterical, others getting their millinery, etc., destroyed in the crush.
