JUHTICn AND TIIUH8T0N.
The Pacific Commercial Advertiser,
of which Lorrln A. Thurston Is the pro-
prletor nnd editorial director, publishes
editorially the statement that Its pur
pose Is to be ccr watchful, over
thoughtful, constantly on guard to
preserve tho high character of our
courts of Justice.
When Mr. Thurston's editor was
called to account for contempt of court
expressed by the publication of a car
toon which was proved to hae Influ
cnceTl tho Jurors hearing the nso
which furnished the subject matter of
the drawing, the statement was made
lu the court nnd In the editorial col
umns of the Advertiser that It was not
known that the McCarthy caso was on
trial

ly and with bended knee praying for
the kindly consideration of the courts
and the public becnuse It did not know

The facts as presented b the pub
licatlon. the statements mndc In the

point to the falsity of the paper's claim
to an honest desire to keep pure the
acts and uphold high standards In the
adlnlnlstrntlou of our courts of Jus
tlce ir Mr. Thurston s mot Ho wern
pure, if his nlms were expressive of
that public-spirited 'character which ho
now represents them to be, If he Ioed
Justice for Justice's sake, he would
be quite as careful to render Justice
to the members of tho court, more
particularly the Judge whom he might
believe wns In error, as ho would be
to demand that proper punishment
shall be meted out to law-breakers,
Mr Thurston has In the employ of
the newspaper corporation which lie
controls men whose business It Is, or
supposed to be. to watch for nnd re'
cord tho facts as they occur In thn
courts. These emplojcs arc, or are
supposed to be. In dally attendance
upon the court sessions. They hnvn
free access to tho records and may bo
present at all the Jury trials and all
the heatings held by nny Judgo or
Judges of the courts. They havo ac
cess to tho facts and If directed to
obtain them and record them there Is
not tho slightest occasion, except in
a few possible minor details, for the
reporter, the editor, the proprietor or
the reader being misled as to the cases
on trial or about to he put on trial,
the contentions of tho defense or pros
edition, the rulings of the Judge, and
his reasons for making them No one,
except he be n fool, need be Ignorant
of the facts In our courts of Justice.
Tho Judges, the clerks, nil officers ot
the courts, are easy of access and
ready to gle information
An honest desire to piotect tho
courts from slander, a firm dctermlnn
tlon to Inspire confidence In their
Judgments, n steadfast endeavor to
render to ev cry man his Just duo would
necessarily have led Ml. Thurston to
require that tho statements of the
Judges as made by them from the
bench, as well as contentions of attor
Beys having a bearing on Judicial
acts, should at least be recorded free
from office-coloring or edltorinl com
ment In the news columns. Kery
man has a right to an opinion on the
actions of Judges or the verdicts of Ju
ries. Kory man has a right to mis
repiesent courts, Judges, or Juries, pro
idcd he has no higher Ideal of honest
citizenship than to stoop to such de
grading methods. But no man who
honestly and fearlessly seeks to do
Justice to officials or his fellow-men
will bolster up his position of nutago
nlsm by tho statement of half-truths,
and palpable misrepresentations in a
detail of court proceedings.
Has Mr. Thurston's paper adopted
fair or Just methods in Its record of
cents In the First Circuit Court
which has been Its chief object of at
tack. Admitting that Mr. Thurston he
lloes Judges Humphreys and Gear to
bo devils In judicial clotnlng has ho
given the devils their duo or ondeav
ored. by a calm, unbiased statement of
facts as well as a calm discussion of
the merits of tho Judges and their
Judgments, to uplift rather than tear
down? Ho has not. Ho knows It and
tho people of this Territory who pay
tho slightest attention to court pro
ceedings know It.
Mr. ThurBton. through tho paper hu
owns and directs, has sailed Into the
First Circuit Court and at Judges
Humphreys and Gear with tho sweep
and swashbucklo of the pirate. "Can
anything good como out of Nazareth?'
asked tho critics of our l.ord "Noth
ing good can como out of the FlrBt Clr
cult Court while Humphreys and Dear
aro on the bench," has been the text
and motive of tho newspaper policy
directed by Thurston. Tho attacks
hove been vicious; tho warping of
fncts by tho text of reports, the scntl
ment of 'cartoons and editorial com
ment has been continuous. Every en.
ergy has boon turned toward destroy'
Ing public confidence In these men ap
pointed by President McKlnlcy and
by Biich comment and vllttflcatlon do
strojing confidence In the court of Jus
tice oer which Ihcy preside. "1 have
said it and it Is so" has been tho tenor
of the position taken toward tho men
ond tho courts, Irrespective of how
far at variance with the facts this nay
so may he.
Mr. Thurston cannot deny It, ho can
not evade It the fads are too patent
and the record too clear to those citi
zens who hae read his paper. His
ftght has been bitter, It has been per
sonal; It has been dcold of Justice.
Volcano Marshall In his most fanatical
moments never Indulged In more ex
aggerated extravaganzas when dealing
with men nnd motives. Liberty of
speech has become license, freedom
of the press has been prostituted, to
nil Intents nnd purposes the newspaper
of Mr. Thurston has lost nil sciibc of
Justice, decency, or reason.
With this record spread upon tho
pages of the last year's history, Mr.
Thurston tells tho people that IiIb
high and noble aim Is to guard and
maintain the Integrity of the courts,
that no guilty man maj escapo nor tho
Innocent surfer. The people of this
Territory know that there is no power
or hcaen or hell that he can draw
upon to proe his action consistent
with his declarations
'To thine own self bo true, and it
must follow-, as the night the day, thou
canst not then he fnlse to any man "
Accepting Mr. Thurston's own proc
lamation or Intentions, he has proved
false to himself; hence raise to those
whom he purportedly alms to lead to
wnrd higher planes of civic and Juell
clal lrtue.
EUROPEAN DCPRU88I0N
Recent news from the Mnlnland re
ports that a wave or depression has
struck the whole continent or Europe
This does not eomc ns a surprise, for
the business atmosphere of Eurdpo
has been lowering for moro than a
year past. Germany has experienced
several nasty financial failures as well
ns n stringency In her money market
Her fnctorles havo felt the pressure

That the remarkable era of Ameri
can prosperity has more or less to do
with Europe's depression cannot bo
dented. We nro now lnadlng thu
world's markets, even those or En
rope Itseir, to to degreo never anticipat
ed a row jears ago. Tho world Is not
buying largely In excess or Its former
requirements, nnd where American
goods are sold they to a large extent
supplant the output ot European man
uracturers. Thu talk or the develop
ment or new markets Is good for after
dinner orators, but the new markets
are not developing as quickly us the
factories can turn out thu goods. And
where arc the new markets? The only
one we hear of Is China, u country un
settled and on the border of further
revolution, the millions of Inhabitants
of which will not be reached commcr
dally for another decade at least
A panic, or crisis, may be defined as

far dUtant after the unprecedented
momentum of the past flvo jears.
Overtrading brings about a cummer.
clal crisis or panic and causes bust
ness to need more capital than Is

many cannot produce ns cheaply ns
the United States and the supply Is
greater than tho demand, then the
German factories must close or be

off entirely Germany's purchasing
power Is thereby diminished If wages
are reduced the demand Is to that ex
tent curtailed.
Where thu United States Mould hu
ellrcctlj concerned Is In the sale of Its
goods to German btijeiH. With less
ened demand they will need less and
our output must be restricted, unless
wo can find moio "wide open" mar

stabbed her with an assegai. Tho un

who asked her what she expected In
marrying a savage and told her that
sho should accommodate herself to

Charles L Tiffany's successful busi

ure se-iloosly Inquiring whether the
liquor problem In thsi Ulands may
noc, for the prcs-nt at leatt, find lu
tint Milution In a law closely follow Ing,
in- pchapn modeled after, the Sujtli
C-iolInn Dispensary BUI.
Foi all such pc-Kiiiv thu following
statements will bo of Interest, In a re
cent article Senator Tillman sums ip
the case In this manner:
"What Is there about this method of
selling liquor that makei It superior to
piohlbltlon or to tho license sjstem?"
First Liquor Is the only article of
commeiie In general use Hut is con
sumed nt the time and place of Its
purchase. It Is sure to say that three
fourths or It Is thus disposed of. 1 ho
Dispensary law enforces
a different
mcthod by requiring tho pui chaser tn
tnke It away as he would a paekngn'
oi Biioes or n sacK or Hour, lla must go
somewhere else than to the place
where ho buys it to consumo It.
Second Tho element of personal
profit which lies at the root of the ki
loon evil Is destroyed. Tho d'spenser
receive fixed salaries proportional to
the amount ot work they do. They
don t get a commission on Bale, and
have no Incentive to push them.
Third "Treating" Is destrojed, and
this docs more for sobriety than pos-
slbly nnj other feature of the sjstem.
Tho man who has bought a lottld at
me uispensary may treat one or a liair
dozen of his friends, to one drink, and
that will bo all. Tho inducement and
obligation to reciprocate, which are -oi
well understood, do not exist.
At sundown dispensary closes It
opens nt 8 o'clock In the mornl-ij. The
legitimate demand for whisky Is sup
plied during daylight, and the dispen
ser having closed up his place of husl

make a sale. Under no form of llcenso
Is this possible. Besides, It Is a mis
demeanor to make sales in any way or
at any time except as the law pro
vides." Yours truly,
