COURT SWAYED BY
LUCK, NOT FACTS
Washington Supreme Bench
Too Busy Properly to Sift
Evidence Offered.
REALLY "ONE MAN" COURT
Members Hear Arguments, Read
Brief, Ei press Tentative Opinion,
Then Assign One Judge to
Make Vp Conclusion.
BY J. H. BROWN.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. July 9. (Special.)
Proof has been, brought before the
L"Kislative committee, which Is In
vestigating: the Washington State Su
preme Court, that In a number of cases
the court has In its decisions seriously
misstated facts. That the court has
made similar errors in many cases is
generally known to members of the
bar, and that more similar errors are
not made is a constant surprise.
To an extent, at least, it must bo ad
mitted luck and neither the law nor the
facts determine the decisions of the
highest court of the state. Where er
rors are made In assembling the
facts it is natural the conclusions of
law drawn therefrom are apt to be er
roneous. That these errors are made wilfully
or deliberately, no lawyer of promi
nence at the bar will assert. But that
they do occur admittedly shows that
something is radically wrong with
court procedure.
And there has been something radi
cally wrong for a good many years.
Kvery session of the Legislature these
conditions are discussed at meetings of
the Judiciary committees, committees
usually composed of attorneys who
.know conditions and who to some ex
tent would like to remedy them.
One Judge Works for Seven.
Until a few months ago, although the
State Supreme Court actually had seven
members. It was actually and
practically a "one man" court.
That is to say, in the majority
of cases disposed of but one Justice
read all of the evidence and the record,
although a majority of all of the court
mad it a rule to read the briefs and
hear and discuss the oral arguments,
but brief arguments of counsel.
In three years the court has been In
creased from tlve to nine members and
yet its efficiency has by no means
been Increased in proportion to the in
crease in membership.
Lawyers who know the situation
thoroughly admit that there Is one
easy and simple way to cure the de
fects of the present system, to elimi
nate absolutely the element of chance,
and to do Justice both to the members
of the court and to the litigants.
Lawyers Don't Want Change.
But this plan has been defeated at every
legislative session at which it has been
advanced because the plan means addi
tional work for the Individual lawyers.
The attorneys would rather take the
chance that the court would hit upon the
correct facts in the case, than to assume
the additional burden a change in the
law would place upon the bar. To ex
plain: Last year there were 600 cases
filed in the Supreme Court. With each
case came all the pleadings, a transcript
of the evidence, briefs of both sides and
in addition the attorneys usually made an
oral argument to the court.
In one case alone the evidence was of
uch volume that one Judge spent 14 days
rtnd nights reading it, putting in an aver
age of 16 hours a day. Personally to have
looked up the citations and examined
them exhaustively would have taken
nearly as long again. Consider this mass
of material to be read and it is easy to
see error might be made when this Judge
alts down to .dictate the opinion; he
wouia be apt to forget some things and
that he would make some misstatements.
If each one of the nine Judges had been
forced to read this case in full where
would the court have got in disposing of
the 500 cases before It. It would be a
physical Impossibility for any Judge,
working every day in the year, to read
one-third of the annual records and files
and briefs received by the court, yet each
decision Is presumed to be based upon a
thorough knowledge of what all these
contain.
Decide Case Then Cite Facts.
Therefore, to accomplish anything it
has been the custom for the members of
the court to all . read only the briefs
and listen to the argument. Then, after
private consultation, in which the Jus
tices express a tentative decision, one
of the Judges Is assigned to write the
opinion. He takes the tiles and wades
through the evidence and makes up his
conclusions. Sometimes, frequently, in
fact, he discovers something in the evi
dence vital to the case that has not
been raised by the briefs nor In the argu
ment and which might suggest a com
plete change from the original tentative
decision. Then there is another consulta
tion, or sometimes several of them.
After the opinion is written it is handed
from Judge to Judge. Each reads the
opinion and if it coincides with his ideas
of the facts and law he signs as con
curring. Otherwise, he draws up a dis
senting opinion. So from Judge to Judge
the opinion travels until all have signed
'ho wish to, and then the decision is
filed and becomes public.
With this system it is readily to be
seen the whole court's decision depends
upon the accuracy of one member In his
reading of the pleadings and of the facts.
"When the evidence tills page after page
error Is easy, especially If the evidence Is
at all contradictory.
The whole system could be readily
cuangea n me legislature would adopt a
plan suggested years ago by attornevs.
That is that the only papers to come be
fore the Supreme Court on appeal should
be a brief condensation of the pleadings,
a brief resume of the testimony covering
the vital facts relied upon by the appeal
and in opposition thereto, and the usual
briefs and citations or authorities. In
Head of having to wade through hun-
Oreds or pages of testimony to find a
few words that had bearing upon the
case, records would be so simplified every
member of the court would have op
portunity to read, know and consider all
of the essential facts and all of the law
points.
Possibly the Legislature when It meets
again next month may pass such a law
as suggested. Something should certain
ly have to be done to maintain a proper
mgn standard for the chief court of the
state. But will it?
CHORUS GIVEN OVATION
(Continued From First Page.)
Friday were crowded with Beaver
State people, the hotels fairly bulged
with them and familiar faces were
everywhere. It was about 11:30 when
the official band opened the official
observance of Oregon's gala day. Im
mediately afterward President J. E.,
Chilberg, of the exposition, delivered a
onei aaaress of welcome, to which
Governor Frank W. Benson responded.
The Governor was most happy In his
speech and received many subsequent
congratulations. In part he said:
Governor Benson Speaks.
"I have listened with Interest to the
kind and sincere remarks of the presi
dent of this great exposition, and,
speaking for the people of the magnifi
cent State of Oregon. I assure you that
his words find a resting place in our
hearts, and that we appreciate this cor
dial welcome that has been extended.
The State of Oregon was one of the
first to assure the people of Washing
ton of the hearty spirit of co-operation
that has made this exposition National
in its character. Our people, realizing
the splendid results of the Lewis and
CJark Exposition, and desiring to re
tarn, in some slight degree, the-cooperation
manifested by the State of
Washington on that occasion, decided
to erect a building upon these grounds
and make a proper display of the vari
ous products of our state.
"The building is one of the most cred
itable state buildings on the grounds, and
the Oregon exhibit speaks for itself. Our
most able Commission, with painstaking
care. has collected specimens of the
products of our forests, fields, streams
and factories, as well as an educational
exhibit that compares favorably with
anything of the kind within these gates.
No Oregonian need feel ashamed ef the
Oregon building and Its contents, but on
the other hand should feel a pride and
satisfaction worthy of. the dignity of our
great commonwealth.
"With a due regard for all portions of
our common country, we take a pardon
able pride in tne Pacific Northwest the
land of splendid opportunity.
"So Oregon does homage to Washlne--

v.., w M.J W VJJtLlill. J
A special from Union says a mass
iiiccuug w&a neia in mat city tonight
which nominated the following ticket
to fill the vacancies in the city offices
to be vacated by an expected "recall
and imperative mandate" of the people:
For Mayor. W. J. Townley, to succeed
Mayor Law, and M. S. Levy, L. A.
"Wright and A. J. Goodbroad, Council
men, to succeed Councilmen Hutchen
son, Dalton and Schoonover.
Much dissatisfaction has existed
among the citizens of Union for several
months over what has been considered
to be the drastic legislation of the re
cently elected city officials in the mat
ter of reform legislation. A petition
was presented to Mayor Law, and some
of the Councilmen asking them to re
sign, but this request was not acceded
to.
The recall could not be invoked until
the officials had held office for a period
of six months, and this limitation ex
pired tonight.

CHAUTAUQUA GROUNDS. Gladstone
Park, Or.. July 9. (Special). In a mas
terly address. Dr. I. L. Goshen, the
'little giant," of Salt Lake City, swayed
his hearers this afternoon on "The Cost
of Liberty." , Full of courage, grit and
fire, Goshen is one of the most popular
of the Chautauqua lecturers. He said
that we today must write our chapter in
kotoi oi :mmy as Lincoln, Darwin
and the Revolutionary fathers wrote
theirs.
At the Forum this morning Rev. Henry
V. Rominger, recenfly from - the Holy
Land, gave a vivid picture of the Good
Samaritan on the road to Joppa, illus
trating Ihe theme, "Who Js My Neigh
bor." Professor J. B. Korner, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, whose "Oreson Lit
erature" is a text-book In tTie qrhnnk
the state, gave a picturesque address on
his recent tour of Palestine. '
"About 4000 Americans visit Palestine
annually, whereas there ought to be 4,
000,000," said Professor Horner. "A visit
to the Holy Land would help every min
ister in Oregon to preach with greater
power, and more power in the pulpit Is
the crying demand of these times, when
there are many localites in which less
than one half of the Intellectual classes
attend church services regularly."
Chapman Discusses Ibsen.
Canby had a walkover in the base
ball game with Oswego this afternoon,
winning by a score of 11 to 0. Canby has
won one game and lost one. The game
tomorrow is between Gladstone and Eagle
Creek.
Hon. C. H. Dye, vice-president of the
Chautauqua Assembly, presided today,
and Dr. T. B. Ford, of Pendleton, will
be on the iplatform tomorrow. Dr. C. H.
Chapman this, morning continued his
classes in English liferature. He pro
ceeded with his comparison of Ibsen and
Shakespeare, declaring that Ibsen is the
crsator of modern drama, Bernard Shaw
and others have followed him. He gave
an insight into Ibsen's life and methods
and described his method of writing a
play with dolls set up on his study table
with mimic furniture, thus having the
actual scene staged on the table before
him. Dr. Chapman compared the relig
ious views of Ibsen with Shakespeare.
There is no trace of the Bible in Ibsen,
while Shakespeare Is full of it. The
speaker paid a high tribute to woman as
creators of law and order In the home,
and he believes women would bring better
order into 'politics. The Ibsen lectures
will be finished on Monday, as Dr. Chap
man does not appear tomorrow.
The Sunday school work of Rev. C. A.
Phipps is is an attractive feature of the
morning hours. Mr. Phipps is the state
Sunday school worker and is known In
the Northwest wherever Sunday schools
exist He is invariably successful and is
full of enthusiasm and the right thought.
W. C. T. U. Leaders Active.
In the biology lecture Professor Sweet
ser used his stereoptlcon slides with good
effect this morning. The hour in the W.
C. T. U. headquarters was one of in
spiration, as fhe White Rlbboners and
friends came together for the considera
tion of the evangelistic phases in which
they are deeply Interested. Mrs. Badge
ly. state superintendent of that depart
ment, presented a splendid programme.
Mrs. Wooddy, Mrs. Additon, Mrs. Weber,
Mrs. Harford andtthers took part In the
discussion. Roses and sweet peas decor
ated the headquarters. The state presi
dent, Mrs. Henrietta Brown, and the
state recording secretary. Mrs. Ida Mar
sters, are at the Ashland Chautauqua.
The first appearance of Alton Packard,
the cartoonist, was on the auditorium
platform tonight, and he had a large au
dience. His talks are somewhat along the
lines mapped out by Homer Davenport,
though he is better equipped for plat
form work, and his rapid drawings are
humorous and interesting. Mr. Packard
will be on the platform at 2 o'clock to
morrow afternoon with "Fun and Fancy
In Form and Color.".
Mr. Thomas Pennell. of Seattle, sang
the Toreador Song, from Carmen, to
night and his encore was Tours' "Mother
of Mine." Mr. Pennell has a round, full
baritone that is pleasing and he is more
than satisfying the Chautauqua audiences.
He will be here all through the session.
He sings Handel's "O, Redder Than the
Cherry" tomorrow afternoon.
Following the lecture tomorrow after
noon there will be a reception at W. C.
