The advantage which the rich man has is not that the courts look with leniency upon his offenses but that he has the money witn winch to employ the most expert legal talent to search out the flaws and technical errors which creep into almost every case ana wnicn win continue to, creep in as long as humanity exists for there is no lawyer nor any court that is infallible. The poor man has not the means to secure this expert assist ance and he must perforce aco pt judgment of the trial court, t'ne seldom hears of the rich man abiding by an adverse verdict or decision in me lower courts, lie appeals and appeals again and every step in the proceedings from the filing of the first complaint is subjected to the closest scrutiny for irregularities, aeiecis ana errors. Not until there is some reform in our system of the adminis. tration of justice will this condition be remedied. Not untii courts consider the ends of equity more than they do the techni calities of the law, not until they regard the substance more than the form, th-j spirit more than the letter, not until they quit splitting hairs and strike out boldly and decisively for im partial justice will there ever be anything like an equality of op portunity in our law courts for all cithens, n garuiess of their material resources. The reform is long overdue. Meanwhile if our federal cm-runt nrm-tiros act does not nn. , ply to primary elections, it ought to be made to apply even if a constitutional amendment is necessary. The will of the people should govern if we have to rewrite the constitution. That is democracy.

Galveston i News. i X AWS are made primarily to serve the ends of justice but j court interpretations and rulings sometimes show a great er regard for the technicalities of the laws than for their purposes. Thus we see the conviction of Senator Truman Newberry, found guilty of buying his seat in the United States senate, re yor.iod by the supreme court through the declared unconstitu tionality of the law under which he was prosecuted. As a matter of law one cannot contest this judgment of the highest tribunal of the land, but as a matter of justice even a yman can see that it leaves much to be desired. The facts were pretty wdl established in the trial of New berry that he or his relatives and friends used money in huge su.ns to influence a favorable vote for him. He and 16 of his principal backers were convicted of violating the corrupt prac-t.-es act and sentences of prison terms and fines were imposed. The cases were carried to the United States supreme court which has held in effect that congress has no right under the constitu tion to pass laws regulating primary elections. The decision of the high court is not only a blow to the forces working for cleaner jrovernment but it furnishes annther ra of a rich man escaping the penalties of his misdeeds. There is already too widespread a notion that the laws do 'not apply with the same equity to the wealthy man and the poor man, and 28 YEARS AGO 1 ( From Oregonln, the Daily East May 6, 1893.) Mrs. A.

Advertising is as much a part of today's life as elec tricity, antiseptic surgery or motor traction. It is the sys tem whereby a man who has something to sell tells about it to those who do or should use it. For no one can want anything until he knows of its existence. Advertising is the way by which you are told why you should have certain goods and how to identify those goods. So the advertisements you find in this newspaper make up a CATALOG of needed merchandise. Articles of all kinds and for all purposes are' presented in a pleasant way through the medium of type and pic tures. The outstanding requirements of every member of the family are met by offers of good merchandise of proved value. ' ' The advertisements will help you in the selection of all manner cf things.
