It was intended to be such, and the very problem of| self-government rests upon its intelligent and patriotic exer) cise. | In keeping with this movement by the Colorado miners | is the declaration by the United Mine Workers’ convention | at Indianapolis that “the time has arrived, owing to the | present economic conditions and the machinations of ‘the Interests’ in many places, for the laboring people to come to- gether in a political labor party.” So long as labor denies itself its political power, it will be tyrannized over by “watered” capital backed by all the executives of the law and by the military, and licked piece- meal, save as to very rare instances.

De tcl er the Ride of Judes | IGHT is breaking through the clouds of mushy legal} precedent | The supreme court of this state Saturday handed the} jarbitrary rule of judges in contempt cases a most unprece dented jolt, when it held in the cases of Thorwald Sieg fried, attorney, and Thomas W. Russell and Emil Hendrick son, miners, that they are entitled to a change of venue from Judge Humphries’ court. In Siegfried’s case, the alleged contempt consisted in writing a letter calling attention of the Seattle Bar associa- tion to acts of Judge Humphries, which might bear investi- gation. Russell and Hendrickson were among those who signed resolutions condemning Judge Humphries’ dictatorial treat- ment of people who protested against his “street speaking” decisions. Without reference to whether Siegfried, Russell and Hendrickson were guilty or not of contempt, the fact is that Judge Humphries in each of those cases was the com- plainant. Yet he pointed to legal precedent as his authority for also sitting as judge and jury on those cases, in which he had a personal and prejudiced interest, unless we are to take! stock in the theory that judges are divine and not human A most unhonorable, unprincipled, and un-American doc- trine, to be sure. But precedent seemed to be with Judge Humphries until -the supreme court smashed “sacred” prece-| dent to'smithereens, took the broad, human view, and ordered) all three of the contempt cases to be tried before some other | judge than Humphries. | W.

In the 17th cen. tury the first horseless carriage appeared, driven by one Johann Houstach of Nuremburg, described as a “manufacturer of chariots go. |ing by spring and making 2,000 | paces an hour.” There was no steering device, so the chartot was only able to proceed tn a straight line, About the same period wind driven vehicles, which looked like sailing boats on wheels; were used on the flat plains of Holland.

The city’s largest and most popular musical institu- tion yields to strong and persistent pressure brought to bear upon the owners by friends, patrons and business interests. R, 8. Fringer, manager since the house was established, and to whom the larger share of credit is due for the great success which it bas achieved, was also reluctant to see bis company re- Mnquish their foothold and withdraw from such an important point as Seattle their long and firmly established business, and used bis efforts and Influence from the beginning to have the company re- consider. This finally resulted in holding matters {n abeyance and instead of closing the hou announced and intended, December 31s! puon Was secy vir. Stinger on the purchase of the bus! ness, and he conflucted a vigorous price-cutting sale for a time with a view of reducing the stock to where he could take advantage of this opportunity. While the past three and one-half months’ campaign resulted in selling more and better pianos at smaller prices than ever accomplished in the same length of time un- similar circumstances, Mr. Fringer finds that the business Ts still too big to buy and take over outright, but he has acquired additional and substantial money interest in the same and will continue as general manager, vice-president, and will direct very largely the future policies and destinies of the Seattle house. Many of the variety of causes that made It necessary to take steps to close out our Seattle business have since taken a more favorable turn and we are quite sure that everyone will be pleased with the happy outcome of the many problems that were involved in this situation. In connection with this announcement I wish to take this occasion to publicly extend my thanks personally and the thanks of my business associates to the people of Seattle and vicinity, and especially to our many friends who have dealt with us during this sale and also heretofore, and to all of them we wish to ex- press our sincere appreciation of their generous patronage, and also for the confidence and the good efforts exerted im our be half. In conclusion, I beg to state that no customer of ours shall ever, through any neglect on our part or lack of proper perform. ance of any instrument secured from us, have any cause to regret the purchase of ft. Every instrument shall prove exactly as represented by us. Should even one out of the enormous lot of instruments sold by us prove defective or imperfect in any way, just as soon as the facts can bo ascertained, the trouble will be remedied. The guarantee that goes with our instruments is a guarantee that absolutely protects the purchaser, without parley or equivocation, differing in this regard from warranties issued by the majority of other concerns, As previously announced, we sold our sheet music and small musical instrument departments on January Ist to the Rose Music Company, who were formerly at 1420 Second Avenue, but who have now moved into and will, in the future, occupy the first main floor in the Hilers Building jointly with us, We will in the future concentrate and specialize on the world’s best pianos, Including such distinguished names as Chickering & Sons, Kimball, Sohmer, Haddorff, Hilers, the Autopiano, the Bunga- low, and others, the famous new Edis: diamond-point, no-needie disc and cylinder phonographs, also the renowned Victor talk- ing machines, with such varitty of prices and terms thet something suitable can be found for every income and purpose, At the point of his gun, Slippery Jim relieved the passerby of his watch, “ply time is yours,” was the vic- only” comment,—New York ct) World, | “
