Dear Sir: The supreme court was established as a conservator of the public weal and as a safeguard to American liberty. It was be lieved that nine men, raised to the highest eminence on earth, and clothed with the supreme dignity and power o f a court of last ap peal, would hold the scales of jus tice with a steady hand. It was believed that when nine minds, each eminent for legal lore and power of discrimination, wero brought to benr upon any subject, unalloyed truth would he separated from the rubbish of falsehood and error and a decision reached unsul lied by sordid motives or the bias of meaner souls. But we have been disappointed. Your opinion setting aside the income tax law as uncon stitutional is regarded by every patriot as unjust and revolutionary. Your decision consigning Eugene V. Debs to a felon’s cell denies the right of a laboring man to counsel other laboring men. You, Mr. Ful ler, have decided, other justices con curring, that the poor man shall bear the burdens of the rich. You have reversed the former decisions of the court. You have set aside all precedent relating to income tax both in America and England and entered in the records of our high est tribunal an opinion unjust to every producer of wealth in the United States. We believe you bnvo disgraced the ermine and for feited the reBpect of men. You are a menace to American liberty. You stand as a barrier and hin drance to bar our progress towards that equality which is guaranteed by the constitution. More than a quarter of a century ago the su preme court ruled that n negro had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; but the people reversed the decision. You have virtually ruled that the toiling men have no rights that the bondholder is bound to respect. We, sovereign citizens of the United States, pro test against your decision. In the name of oppressed humanity and appealing to the great Jehovah we denounce and condemn nnd utterly repudiate the action of yourself and concurring justices. We hold your decision in supreme contempt and hereby call upon you to resign. In behalf of outraged justice we de mand that you come down from a seat which you are in no wise worthy to occupy that the ermine may be entrusted to men who not only fear God but who also love justice and will dare to do right while raging bondholders and land lords oppose in vain. H en - rv J . S w im . Lynden, Wash. Tbs Judiciary Again to the Retcne. In another column we give a sum mary o f Judge Ross’ decision, adverse to the government in its suit against the Stanford estate for $15,400,000. It is a voluminous document, the “ points” in which we must take time to analyze. In an interview,. Judge McKissick, the learned attorney for the government — whose argument in tho Vase was A R A G O , COOS C O U N TY, O R . a masterpiece of logic and law—says AVING had several years experience he is os thoroughly convinced that in the east, we feel confident we can Ross is conscientious as that give satisfaction to our patrons.

In fact, the court sustained my position that the Pacific roads are liable to the Gallery six doors east o f L O O. F. Hall. Samples and prices government to pay the bonds and interest at maturity. But Judge ¡a gallery. C. WILKIX8, Photo. 1 Ross held that under the peculiar 240 B. B. PAULL & CO., REAL ESTATE DEALERS H Photographs! legislation of congress the govern ment’s intent was not to exact from the individual stockholders their proportion of that debt, and that under the laws of ’62 in California they are not responsible for their proportion of thut indebtedness- This is the first time in the history of California that such a decision has been reached by any court in the state. Hitherto no lawyer has so construed tho law, and in the argument presented to Judge Ross, Judge Garber did not make this contention." One significant fact we notice in the decision is that the judge, while extolling the important na tional character and military aspect of the railroad enterprise, started in the midst of a civil war, is care ful not to state that the entire ben- fits were gobbled up by five men who robbed first the stockholders and then the entire people, as far as they could reach them, both as a government and as individuals. He might truly say that such com ment would be out of place in a ju dicial opinion; but it would be no more so than what he says in eulogy of the purposes and advantages of the road and the implied enterprise of the magnates in building it with other people’s money, getting paid for it three tin es over, hold ing the virtually stolen property and repudiating the debt without contracting which they could never have built the road at all. Without Judge McKissick’s confi dence in Justice Ross’ “ conscien tiousness,” we believe, with him, that the decision is wrong, and when we have studied it more care fully we will probably conclude that it is a crime.— S. F. Star. S. F. Star: The two robbers who “held up” the train the other day were more considerate than Hun tington and his “pals.” The former refused to take anything from women or men whose appearance indicated that he worked for a liv ing. The latter robbed everybody, including the widow and orphan, nnd, as in - the case of the Mussel Slough settlers, sometimes supple mented robbery by murder. S. F. Star: In Austria prizes are given to encourage farmers to re cover waste lands, and also to build stables and shelters for cows at high altitudes. Here the govern ment taxes people for doing such things. Human life would be much more secure if nil the “ doctors” were dead. Railroad Monopoly and Fustal Deficit. U. S. Senator Vilas was nt ono time postmaster-general, and in a speech in the senate last session (to which the Twentieth Century colls attention), he stated that, while the total value of 740 railroad postal cars was only $1,600,000, $2,000,000 a year was paid by the government for their rent alone. The main tenance of those cars costs annually $722,360; but whether that sum is paid by the companies or tho govern ment is not stated. The Pennsyl vania railroad alone received more than $2,000,000 annually for mail transportation and $575,000 for rent of 50 postal cars. Senator Vilas then moved to ap- priate $500,000 for the purchase, ownership, and management of the necessary postal cars, but the bill was promptly laid on the table by 23 to 10. Of course the Associated Press dispatches were entirely silent as to the senators expose and bill. Steps should be taken to ascertain the entire annual payments for rent of cars and carriage of mails, and the approximate weight of mail thus carried. We think it would then be easy to show that the deficit in the postal revenue is covered three or four times over by the amount paid for rent of cars nnd carriage of mails exceeding cost of service. The notorious “ star route” scandals of some ten years ago, in which the i present U. S. Senator Elkins, of West Virginia, was up to his eyes, showed that the postal revenues were plundered o f millions annu ! ally then (as probably ever since) I that could have been saved by hon ’ est and economical management I Taking the “ star route” and railroad services together, the indications are strong that, with government j railroads, the postofficc department, instead of being some $9,000,000 | behind, would be, at present postal rates, at least $20,000,000 ahead annually. Yet successive post master-generals keep up a contin uous whine about the deficit which they claim arise« from carrying printed matter at a loss, not giving the least hint of the real cause therefor.— 8.
