BORROWS AUTOMOBILE
DRAWS $50 AND COSTS
George H inman. College Student,
Pleads Guilt to Charge Preferred
by Melville HannaCom
plains of Stiff Fine
Charged by Melville Hanna, a city
mall carrier, with "taking a motor
vehicle without permission of the
owner," George Hlnman, a dairy stu
dent at the State College, who hails
from Everett, entered a plea of
guilty In Justice Henry's court late
last week and was assessed a fine of
$*".(> and costs, totaling $54.80, by
the magistrate. Hlnman promptly
paid the fine and was released from
cus'ody.
Conflicting stories concerning the
"borrowed car" aro told by the two
principals and Hlnman claims that
the fine of $"><) and costs was entirely
out of proportion to the seriousness
of the offense. He claims that he
had been on friendly terms with
Hanna and on several occasions had
helped him about the machine. He
alleges that when one of the animals
at the dairy hams got sick he warn
ed to get some medicine in a hurry
and believed that Hanna would have
no objection if he took the car to go
to town after ,the medicine. He
states that while he and two com
panions were pushing the car out of
the garage Hanna appeared on the
scene and ordered them to put it
back, which they did. Several days
later, he alleges, he and Hanna had
a dispute over another matter and
claims that his arrest on the charge
of taking the automobile was
brought about by Hanna merely to
"get even" for the other trouble and
not because there was any offense
committed when he attempted to bor
row the machine. lie states that the
alleged offense was committed over
two weeks before the warrant was
issued.
Hlnman claims that he entered a
plea of guilty in an effort to settle
the matter quietly and to shield his
two companions, and that he expect
ed a fine of $10 or thereabouts. He
appeared without counsel, and com
plains that he was not permitted to
state tho facts in police court.
Hanna, on the other band, alleges
that there was maliciousness in the
attempt to borrow the automobile,
claiming that Hinman told him he
was going to take it and was
ordered to leave the machine alone.
He states that he told Hinman he
was going to have him arrested and
that "Hinman beat it to the bills and
didn't show up until nearly morning.
too late to have him arrested at
once."
There is evidently bad blood be
tween the two principals and the
stories of both are given above out
of fairness to all concerned.

"WHAT IS DEMOCRACY"
SUBJECT OF ADDRESS
Judge Thos. Neill Heals With Ques
tion From Many Annies — Pros!
-. 1. Nt it. ii.iii.i to Apeak Next
Month
Last Tuesday evening a number of
men from the congregation of the
Federated churches, together with
friends, met in the basement of the
church and listened to a paper by
Judge Thos. N'eill on "What Is De
mocracy?" It' was a timely and val
uable discussion of a question that
is foremost In the minds of many,
Judge Neill considered his question
from the standpoint of the Declara
tion of Independence, which he in
terpreted as meaning that everyone
is born with an equal right for the
pursuit of life, liberty ami happiness.
li as the declaration for the rights
of everyone to enjoy the privileges of
the few. He then went on to treat
the question from the different
standpoints of life, political, social,
teligious, and educational. and
showed how the ideal of rights of
everyone can be attained when the
relationship which we are taught to
bear to one another is that of serv
ice rather than that of self-centered
privilege. Following the lecture an
open discussion of the question was
carried on, and many availed them
selves of the opportunity to ask ques
ion- of the lecturer.
.'.'is is the first of a series of such
gatherings. They will be hold once
„ month, At the next meeting,
President Holland ill speak on
"Some- of the Tendencies in Modern
Education.',' Tin purpose of the
discussions is to help in our under
standing of the- social and economic
and political and religious problems
which confront us now and will con
front us iii lie- reconstruction per
