That's the example the Nazarene would set in Isom White’s case. He would not strangle the boy. He would save other boys instead. Justice Clogged. Why? CE, as it is meted out in King county’s superior courts, is in danger. The age-old complaint inst the w’s delays is finding rich soil for growth in the ing congestion of the court calendar. A week ago there were 1,005 cases waiting to be heard, while the parties thereto fretted over the apparent indiffer- ence with which their statements of grievance are being met—and probably began to lose confidence in the courts. At the end of the present week the number of waiting cases had increased to 1,018, thereby maintaining the steady loss which keepers of the record say has not varied for a {long time. When the summer vacation is over the calendar will be |2,000 eases behind, observers estimate, making it practically }certain that a year or more will elapse before a contested suit filed now can be heard. The clog in the machinery must be removed if popular respect for court justice is to be preserved. Easy runs the machinery which contributes to congestion. Repeated continuance of cases has become chronic. Ex | 4 "t he make an attractive offer? cept in criminal cases, which the new prosecuting attorney | |has pushed to trial hardly a court matter comes on for |hearing before at least two continuances have been asked and granted, and sometimes many more. Judges and lawyers can co-operate to reliefe the present embarrassment. The judges can demand that a case be theard in its turn. Generally the reason for a cause is pretty well understood when the case is carried to an attor- ney by a litigant. There is, therefore, no excuse for not airing the controversy immediately. The bar association, which has appointed a committee to jassist in the matter, can do much in backing the judges | squarely in refusing to listen to its own members when they | appear suavely in court for a postponement of their cases. | The effort to obtain more judges for King county is be- side the point at present. Politics is one thing and a |healthy-minded attitude of the’rank and file of citizens | toward the courts is another thing—and an important thing. | Even now it is reported that persons with damage anits | against the city are withdrawing them because they cannot be heard. It requires no profound study on the part of a judge or a lawyer to appreciate the peril that lies in this situation. Let the judges and the lawyers get to work. They should be very much moved when justice is in danger. “The day of the vampire is waning,” observes Theda Bara. A few gray hairs and some wrinkles do it, eh?

The weakest heart is not unfavorably affected by it, while in every case it re cetves great relief. I am aware that an erroneous @otion on this point ¢xists among many, but I make this statement with an experience of many hundreds of cases and do not wish to bave its effects confounded with other forme of using heat from which the moisture t not extracted and when the heated air is breathed by the patient. This error originates with those who have gained their knowledge of the effects of heat on the system from Turkish and the various vapor and hot water and mud baths, and it would be surprining if it were not erroneous, The therapeutic action of heat #0 produced is as different from the effects of well-circulated, perfectly DRY heat as any two ef. fects can well be, Dry, bot air is in no sense a de Pressant. The efficacy of moist heat is limited by the comparatively jlow temperature which patients can endure. Mud baths are given at a temperature not to exceed 105 de- grees Fahrenheit; hot water be comes painful at 210 degrees Fah- renheit, and vapor cannot well be borne above 120 degrees Fahrenhatt. pm Dry heat has greater value than moist heat as a remedial agent be- cause it can be used, and comfort ably, at many times these tempera- tures.
