accompanied from Haines to Union
by Sheriff Rand, deputies and the dis

party there while four came on to La

they did minutely. They laid partl-

animals are ln finer,,, condition than
ever before.' he says.
Oyer $5,000 would have been sav'd

(By Francis J. Heney)
The fact that the lupreme court of 1 '
California ha reversed itself to su
tain th ccfnvkfloa of AbrabAal Ruef
is important chiefly as a sign of the '
times of the new era ln which the
people are beginning to rule.
That Ruef must 'go to Jail is 01 "
relative Importance only. It is im
portant that criminals of all sta
tions should be punished but it Is far
more important that the people them
selves should control the administra
tion of Justice. ' .
There Is a peculiar Irony and a V
tremendous algnlficance In the fact
that what Ruef claims to be a tech- '
nlcality forced the supreme court of
this state to reverse Itself on a pre
vious ruling which granted Ruef a
hearing. On forhur occasions techni
calities have welled only in favor of
graft prosecution defendants. Schmidt
had been freed because the indict
ments upon. which he was convicted
failed to state that he was mayor or
San Francisco at the time his crime v
was committed. The supreme court "
unanimously refused to give the peo
ple of San Francisco a hearing on the
merits of the Schmltz case and gaBed ",l
its refusal on a flimsy technlcaiitr
which was not anticipated and hence r
was not even mentioned In the brief .
accompanying ths application by the
people for a hearing. -y
Ruef had been granted a hearing on '
tci iinical grounds The court reversed"
its action because the attorney gener- : -al
called Its attention to the fact
that one of the concurring 'Justices .

for a hearing was signed,, Why did
T:ur members' of th court first lg- i
