Did this country feed starving Russia for business rea- sons? Did we rescue Armenians thru greed? Did we re- fuse to take the Boxer indemnity from China because of any commercial advantage? We did these things, and Scores more, thru the most elementary of emotional reac- tions; the emotion of pity for unfortunates, even tho these unfortunate deride us and attempt, when nourished, to destroy us.

July 29,1924, Dear Folks: Strange is the weather we're getting. ing sky, glower or give us a wetting—here at the end of duly! Isn't it awfully funny? Seems as if autumn is near! Clouds, when it ought fo be sunny—rain, when it ought to be clear! clouds, in a threaten. Strange as the life we are living—Vate, in a whimsical vein, constantly come to us giving burdens of trouble or pain. Fsurdens that come to annoy us; bringing, on wingy of the day, cares, when we ought to be Joyous—grief, wheh we ought to be gay! Clouds that are given, we bear them his own, Few of us ever declare them; fow of them evor are known. Hope of the future, beguiling, bouys the heart that is sad—sad, when St ought to be smiling; dull, when jt ought to be glad! each taking care of Clouds in a sunshining season; dry—no one can tell us the reason; no one can answer ws why. Still, in the Big Undertaking, each can be doing hin part—helping each other in breaking clouds in the wky of the heart! Givrtitge Yorn, rain when it ought to bo UT in the great open spaces of New Mexico, the intrepid Editor Carl Magee of Albuquerque and the two- gun judge, Leahy, of Las Vegas, have tangled again, For a couple of years these two men have struggled. Magee seeks to uphold the right of free speech and free press and to keep the constitutional bill of rights inviolate. Leahy seeks to uphold the absolute supremacy of his court and to keep inviolate his personal and judicial sensibilities. Magee claims that contempt of court in the legal sense cannot be committed at a range of 75 miles, Contempt of court proceedings were invented to pro- tect courts against interruption or interference with their proceedings. Only misbehavior actually in the pres- ence of the judge and in open court constituted contempt. Centuries ago, contempt process gave the judge a power as great as that of the king him- self. But it could be exercised only in the service of justice and of the court as a court. Nowadays some judges are develop- ing a strange and dangerous theory that the power of punishment for con- tempt is a personal rather than judicial attribute. That means that such a judge be- lieves himself to be set apart from his fellow men and actually to be sacrosanct and privileged and essentially different from and superior to his fellow citizens. It is a dangerous doctrine. It is wholly un-American. It is to be hoped that Magee or somebody like him will, some day, get a clear cut case before the United States supreme court. If it is possible for one man, just because he happens to have been elected ot appointed a petty judge, to send armed men to drag to jail any man he doesn’t happen to like—if this is possible here in these United States, then people ought to know it. If a man, just because he is a judge, can use the Goddess of Justice as a shil- lelagh, folks ought to know it. If a man, just because he is a judge, can use the machinery of the state as a tool of his political trade, folks ought to know it. And if these things turn out to be true and if the people do come to know them—then the people can be depended on to change the law and restore to ail men equal liberty and freedom of speech and press.

WOMAN JURORS Dr. M, Matthews, speaking be- fore the convention of sheriffs and police said / “If there is anything on God's earth that has militated against the enforcement of law and administra- tion of justice it in the putting of women on the jury.” Women, he said, should get out of the “high speed stuff," go back to the home and get their children started in Sunday school. Many women in the past year have come to me to champion them tn a drive for better conditions in the jury room. Thelr complaints are many, chief among which is the one that they are kept for 24 to 72 hours In a room with men, and badgered vi- clously at times, to vote in opposition to their decided decision, based on evidence, In the recent grand Jury report It was a man who brought in @ verdict in opposition to fact, and on evidence never submitted; while it was no woman who had the backbone and courage to refuse to even be present in the handing to the judge of that so-called verdict, Women may be sentimental, but they are apt to vote honest convic tions. They may not be versed in some matters; but it Is not nearly so much the fault of Juries recently in poor verdicts, as it ts the fault of immature minds handling cases out of the office of the prosecuting at- torney. Since women have the vote we have had attention to child welfare and health; have reduced the death rate greatly; have a mother's pen- [ CANOEING ) There's nothing much doing, so let's go canoeing and loaf on a mir. ror-like lake, It's restful, at bot; you can go as my guost, and a trip down a@ streamlet we'll take.
