CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
eHIEF JUSTICE CU'LLEN of the New York State Court of Appeals
. has risen in the defense of the bench against the criticisms of the courts
made by both of the ex-presidents. The justice holds that the re
marks that Taft and Roosevelt have made were both unjust and unfounded.
He lays the blame for the miscarriage of justice at the door of the jury system
which he characterises as imperfect. He believes that the primary causes for
this miscarriage has always been the technicalities, red tape, and an imperfect
jury system.
While the Enterprise does not presume to be thoroughly versed in the
ways of law, it has confidence in the legal acumen of both Taft and Roose
velt. It has also confidence in the ability and logic of some of the country's
foremost lawyers who have at various times characterised the courts in any
thing but the most respectful terms and have held them to be blamable for the.
9l l ' t. 1 ji r j ..t. . r . i
ubiety in uic iiauuiiug ui iascs aim uie niiscaiiiage oi justice in criminal mai-
ters. No one has ever questioned the fact that William Howard Taft was
one of the best judges that has sat on the bench when he was actively in the
profession and it has been said by more than one student of the man that he
would have risen still higher in the bench and bar if he had not been persuad
ed to enter the political arena. As a lawyer, as a judge, as a student, Taft
has always been one of the more far-sighted and capable in the service. What
ever one may think of his administration in the executive department of the
national government, there can be no doubt but that he is a learned judge and
that he knows whereof he speaks.
Roosevelt's reputation as a lawyer is well known and his experience in
the political field for so many years and knowledge of the courts has taught
him the inside workings of the judicial machinery. When men like these,
opposed as they have been on so many issues' of late, get together in a critic
ism of the courts and hold the bench to blame for all of the miscarriages to
which the bench has been liable in recent years, it is certainly worthy of con
sideration. Too, the argument that is advanced by the learned jurist in de
fense of his profession and his brethern does not sidetrack the main issue. If
technicalities, red tape and an imperfect jury system are responsible for the
miscarriages of justice, there is no more potent factor to remedy conditions
than those same courts. It lies, in many instances, within the power of the
courts to avoid technical points and to strike the nail on the head with good,
common, every day variety of "horse sense."
There are many justices in the country who may not be as learned as
others in the legal technicalities and the labyrinth of practice but whose courts
sre in deed and in truth courts of justice and whose decisions are nothing
more nor less than common sense applied to the issue at the bar. So common
have become these technical battles in the courts and so flagrant have been the
Public Schools Should
Be Used as
Polling Places and
Social Centers
K.
Br Miss MARGARET WILSON. Daughter of the President
EVERY school building should be made the POLLING PLACE of
its district. And then the voting body of each district should be
organized into a deliberative body for the free discussion of public
questions.
It seems to me axiomatic that there should be the same provision for
all sided discussion on the part of the citizens before they vote that there
is for aldermen, state legislators or any other agents of .the citizens.
Where, as in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Grand Rapids and other cities, the
scboolhouses are used as polling places the plan is ECONOMICAL,
CONVENIENT and HELPFUL" to the educational service of the
schools. And where, as in Wisconsin, the state law dictates the school :
boards to provide for free use of the school buildings as voters' common
council chambers-'parliaments of the people" the FEASIBILITY
OF THIS PLAN has been established by two years' successful demon
stration. ": ' ' .
THIS 80CIAL CENTER PROGRAM SHOULD APPEAL TO SUFFRA
GISTS AND ANTI-SUFFRAGISTS, FOR WHETHER WE AGREE OR
NOT THAT MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD STAND TOGETHER AT
THE BALLOT BOX WE MUST AGREE THAT MEN AND WOMEN
8HOULD SIT TOGETHER IN THE DISCUSSION OF OUR COMMON
PROBLEMS, FOR THEY REQUIRE FOR THEIR SOLUTION ALL THE
INTELLIGENCE OF ALL OF U8.
miscarriages because these trifling points were raised that the people have be
come utterly disgusted with the courts an'd they have begun to lose faith in
them, as a whole, as courts of justice. They are now merely "courts of law."
Only when the community in which a jurist lives knows him personally and
when it has had occasion to see the exercise of some of that hard practical
knowledge that cometh not from the law books but rather from the hard
knocks of this old world, does it begin to again receive that respect and confi
dence in the courts that was prevelant in the days when they were made an in
dependent part of our three-cornered government. ""
Something in the way of refrom is needed and the courts should be the
first ones to assist in that reform instead of resenting every criticism that is
made.

THE SPIRIT of brotherly love has permeated the country for the past
week. Nineteen hundred and thirteen years ago, the Nazarene came
to instill the spirit into the hearts of a fractional, party aligned people.
The sentiment that He expressed during His years of ministry have echoed
through the vista of years with more potency than before and have now be
come an established and integral part of our ethics. .
,"'Peace on earth, good will to all men," was the message that came to
earth nearly two thousand years ago. It is the essence of the Christmas sea
son. It carries all of the meaning of the word Christmas and the spirit that
dominates all mankind wherever the message has been taken in that time.
There are many homes throughout the country where Christmas will
mean but little. It is the day of good cheer, the season of brotherly love but
in those homes that have been brightened by the hand of poverty, where the
children will see but little of Santa Claus, where the wood is scant and the
pantry is ernptjr, there can be only a small ray of that light strike. It is the
part of the Christmas spirit that those to whom Santa is bountiful and whose
Christmas is filled with good things should see that some of this bounty is
given to those who are without and who would otherwise get but little of the
good things of the season. '
A Merry Christmas is the wish of the Enterprise to all of its readers bur
that day will be much the merrier if there are no homes in Oregon City which
the patron saint has overlooked in his rounds.

Cadet Band.
Musicians all over the northwest are
attracted to O. A. C. in the hope of
"making" the band. On account of
this Captain Beard found it necessary
to form a "second band" in which em
bryo first-bandsmen are, trained until
they reach a degree of proficiency
compatible with their being advanced
to the coveted position at which try
outs are held.
Captain Beard is a brilliant cornet
soloist, has been wielding the baton
since the Spanish-American war,
where he discovered his talent for di
recting while serving as principal mu
sician in the. 85th Regimental Band, U.

The Woodmen of the World under
whose auspices the band comes to
Oregon City, consider themselves ex
tremely fortunate in being able to an

given Thursday, January 1, at Shive

Meade Post number two has ap
pealed to Congressman Hawley and
Senator Chamberlain in behalf of Ore

capitol has quickly responded with a
bill instructing the secretary of the in

results that the delegation gave and
the speed with which the bill was in
