CHEERFUL COUNSELOR ROGERS AND MOURNFUL JUS
TICS McFARLAND
SUPREME JUSTICE McFARLAND views with melancholy
concern the plight of the men indicted for bribe giving by
a grand jury which he alone of the seven exalted jurists in
the court of last resort believes to be sitting illegally. Not
so Counselor. Earl Rogers of Los Angeles, the bright, particular
star of the defendants' legal galaxy. Mournfully Justice McFarland
dissents; cheerily Attorney Rogers waves aside the decision of
the majority. Rogers is a star of hope. Consider how he twinkles.
Is he cast down over the clear cut, „ unequivocal judgment which
makes ineffective the last plea in evasiou. of the accused bribe
givers? Not at all — it is a mere trifle; it won't last. Thus Attor
ney Rogers, commenting on the decision:
' OH, THIS DECISION WILL BE CHANGED. THE
SUPREME COURT FREQUENTLY REVERSES ITSELF.
/ There's confidence for you! At the proper moment, predicts
the Los Angeles expert, the supreme court will throw a double back
handspring, will turn itself end for end. and inside out. But does
the prediction include Justice McFarland — will he, too, change his
The cheerful optimism of Counselor Rogers but deepens by
contrast the pervading gloom of the dissenting justice. The vener
able McFarland sees that the times are out of joint and it is cursed
sp ; te that he alone is left to set them right- He rehearses with a
fine vigor the ancient plea for the criminal by which long genera
tions of lawyers have contrhrcd to defeat or hamper justice. There
is the obloquy of indictment, the influence of public clamor, the
shadow of a cloud and other odious . disabilities from which men
accused of crime must suffer. These^are so serious if the
hand of justice has varied but a hairsbreadth from the statutory
road the accused should go free or be' given another chance, an
,other opportunity to split another hair. -••;\u25a0; :..:^
Justice McFarland's argument turns wholly on the disputed
meaning of a single word. He starts with the . assumption that
ever} r possible intendment or subtlety must be construed against
the course of a criminal prosecution. The facts or merits .of the
cause have nothing to do with the case." The dissenting opinion
finds a wide and damning difference 'twixt tweedledum and tweed
ledee. If the grand jury was merely a society of, extinct and effete
tweedledums,.why, then, its work is naught. The only safety lies
in a new generation of tweedledees.
The gentlemen — if they are gentlemen— who are accused of
bribing public officials ought to have thought of the afflictions cata
logued by the sympathetic justice before they engaged on a career
that lays them open to suspicion. The obloquy. of an indictment
will not be lifted by a dissenting opinion pivoting on the meaning
of a word. Rather would such an opinion deepen the obloquy.
They imagine possibly that Justice McFarland is their friend." He
is assuredly a most injudicious friend if they are innocent If, on
the other hand, they are guilty/Justice McFarland is the only friend
they have left and Counselor Rogers ; is their legal star of hope.
THE POSTER LADIES OF SAN RAFAEL
IT will not do to take too seriously the antic humor of feminine
San Rafael nor even the heavenly wrath of the embattled dames
of Ross Valley. The alarums and- excursions that have made
night hideous among the vivid redwoods of Marin may be sus
pected to partake of the nature of comic opera and were perhaps con
ceived in the tricksy spirit of Ko Ko,* the Japanese. Nay, even this
cruel war may be nothing more exalted than a press agent's con
spiracy designed to fool the wicked newspapers, which are always
fair game. Ladies, we who are about to give up salute you. Is it a
church. fair or a donation party disguised as private theatricals?
Having said so much in the way of special wonder,: we are
now entitled to make a little preachment. The man or woman who
would . debase a redwood grove, a country lane or~ in fine a rural
landscape to the sordid purpose of advertisement is an undesirable
citizen. • We see too much of it along the railroad lines. It is an
offense against the = beauty :.of nature that can find no apology in
dollars. It is bad:«nough that we have to endure these eyesores on
the billboards of a city, and enlightened public sentiment welcomes
.the growing^moyeracnt to regulate and restrict these forms of ad
vertisement."' The cities-are beginning to limit these abuses, but
in the country, where the." offense is even greater, the; matter must
be left to the regulating Jojce. of public opinion:
SUFFERING SINCERITY

I do" not say this in the Roosevelttan sense, publicly declining the
nomination ' and privately working to" get . it, nor do I- say it through ? any
feeling of pique or disappointment at -the result* of the <late -election." I am
well satisfied to be a private citizen and 'to labor through the league and
through . the election of others to promote the principles I \u25a0 believe. I " dis

ciple on' which he has traded for years. To the people of San Fran
cisco its most striking example^ bi insincerity was Hearst's indorse
ment of District AttorneyLangdon after he had spent weeks and
pages attacking Langdon in the Examiner. Now, as for running
for office, when did Hearst get converted? He has been a candi

HE New York World is still in fnghtfuLtrouble about. the cruise;
of the battleship fleet. It has Visions of New York laid in ashes
by European marauders bombarding. and blowing up things in
general. The Atlantic coast is the sole owner of the ships. The;
Pacific coast can look put for itself. Such is the general tone of the
World/ and, indeed, of the New York press as a whole.
Of course they assiduously, although with small success, seek
for reasons to justify an unreasonable attitude. For instance, the
World inquires :
It. may be heresy to question any general statement of navy officials. It
would equally b6 heresy for them to raise any obstacles to. Mr. Roosevelt's
plans for his naval parade at; San. Francisco. \u25a0 -'- -
; But where on the Pacific coast do there exist adequate accommodations
for dry docking and repairing 'the great fleet of battleships and
cruisers which Mr. Roosevelt purposes assembling -there? How many dry
docks are there at the Bremerton arid \ Mare island • navy , yards actually ready
to .receive, battleships'. like the Louisiana •\u25a0' arid -" Connecticut and cruisers like
the lTennessW and Washington? Where "are ; the score or .'. more of big war
ships, to receive the : necessary overhauling after their 14,000 >mile cruise by
way of -Magellan straits and before resuming "their, tour? • How long will it
take with such limited accommodations as exist? ,
In reply to these frenzied; and despairing questions it may 15e
said that the docks at, Mare island and Bremerton are adequate for
the accommodation of all but the very largest of trie battleships- and

Fairbanks Makes
Laughable Mistake
Dr. Rupert. Blue, who recently arrived fa;
the city to take charge of the sanitary ritaatiotx
here, was ia charge some time ago of a qnar*
antine station on the Atlantic coast. Among others' who were kept thera
were a number of natives of India,~many different castes being among then.
He divided the lot into three bodies and appointed one man to cook for each
different body. When the 'first meal was prepared none of the natives wocld
eat it. . ' •
\u25a0 "Very Well/*- said Dr. Blue, "if, you people are so stuck ttp about til*
matter," you'll go hungry."
The next meal was also passed up in silence. All that day the satirei
fasted. The second day was the same. On the third day they Oaatij>
moved the food aside and ssayt y stolidly. In rows.
"Look here," said the doctor, exasperated by this behavior, "what*!
wrong with you fellows? Why don't you eat?" There was no answer ta
the query and Dr. Blue, thin-king the men were sulking, left them to theh»
hunger. That night, however, he approached them again* picking cut tha
serang— the head man— and put the question to him. "
"Sahib," said the latter, "the men of % different castes hay* been dlvidsc!
into three sections, yet over each section you have placed a cook belonging
to another caste. We cannot eat food cooked by a man of another caste.
That is why "we hungered."
"Great Scottl" said the doctor, "why didn't you tell me of yemr o!<J
castes then?"
Dr. Blue Selects
the Wrong Cooks
"Sahib," came the response, "to advise you on such a little matter would
be presumption on our part. We obey you."
"Go ahead and settle it among yourselves," said Dr. Blue. "Eat ac
cording to your religions — eat any way you like, but eat and don't die on'
my hands." The men quickly appointed their own cooks and fn half an
hour it took all that Dr. Blue could do, to save them from gorging them
selves to death.
Ross Valley will no longer be able to
pride itself on being the only rival to Bur
lingams in exclusiveness. Lagunitas, in the
Marin county hills,, is getting ;a fearsome name for superselectneas among
the "old residents" of that section. "Hightoned" those without the magic
pale call the owners of the picturesque bungalows that nestle among the
big sequoias and glossy bays of the canyon; and if you have ever lived
in- a provincial neighborhood you know how nearly that adjective is allied
to something warmer in the rustics' dictionary. The people of wealth and
position who have established country homes in Lagunitas, christening
them by odd and oftentimes inappropriate titles, keep very, closely to
themselves, emulating the Upper Thirteen of-' San Rafael- and the Sacred
Eleven of Ross Valley. To rent their, bungalows to an outsider during the
owners' nonoccupancy; when the winter's . gayetie3 recall them to town,
would be -sacrilege. Rather would the aristocratic owners permit the field
mice, spiders, snakes and 'coons to play, ball with their best china and
ravage their rugs and portieres. Say "Rent?" to a Lagunitas bungalow
owner and see his eyes bulge and emit sparks' and his hair stand no. \u25a0
