MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1916.
ihe growing tendency of the
masses to Iook upon the law with
litne ot the respect and venera
tion oi lomier \ears is amply ac
counted tor t>y a uozen umerent
expiantions of which the most
prominent one is that the laws, as
generally interpreted, express but
little oi mat spmt oi jumiu which
will cause men to regard them as
sometmng worthy of honor.
\ iewing the flagrant miscarriages
ot just.ee earned on in the name
of the law in the present day, one
can hardly wonuer tnat many
people aie growing impatient of
a code which can be so easily
suborned to doubtful uses. In
fact things seem to have reached
the point where the law is a mix
ture of ninety nine per cent legal
ism and one per cent justice.. An
excellent illustration of this is
funished in the proceedings of a
Kevv York court recently where
in the question of the right of the
pure food inspectors of the dis
trict to condemn certain food pro
ducts was brought into question
in the following manner. A con
signment of tomato soup in cans
was seized by the food inspectors
on the representation that the
contents were unduly mouldy, and
were thus indicative of the use ol
inferior or partially decayed vege
tables, by the manfacturers.
The inspectors opened a large
number of the cans in the lot, dis
closing beyond a doubt the impure
nature of the contents. But wher
the matter was brought before :
court of justice, the judge issuec
-» -pefaining order preventinj
the inspectors from condemning
the remainder in the lace oi tne
tact mat enough had been shown
concerning tne nature ot tne con
tents to anow the assumption tnat
it some ot the cans contained
soup made ot decayed tomatoes,
uie outer cans trom the same
source were not, to say the least,
auove suspicion- By way of fur-?
. ther . testimony concerning the
matter, the government called
as a witness a reputauie expert
inspector who swore that when
he had visited tne lactory in
\\ Incn the soup was prepared he
had found the premises in a most
hitny condition m many respects,
lie also swore that he hau per
sonally seen rotten tomatoes ue
ing used in the process of soup
matting. But because he could
not swear that the soup he saw
canned was the identical souy
contained in the cans seized by the
inspectors, or that it was canned
on the same day, his testimony
wpf ruled out of the record by
the learned jurist who occupied
the bench. There is no doubt
urn: the judge was pertectly right
ir. his ruling. Considering tne
matter stricuy from the legal
point of view, there was fair
giound for the assumption that
oie contents of the remaining
cans of the lot seized by the in
specio's contained notmng but
w hat gas conformaole to the
provisions of the pure food laws,
on the other hana the proponaer
ence oi testimony went to show
that the soup was prepared in a
lactory marked not only by filthy
conuitions of the premises but
aiso in one which was caught in
the act of using decaying mate
rial by one of tne expert men of
the food inspection department.
\\ e do not presume to question
the justice oi the ruling but at the
same time it is submitted that
ninety nine people out of every
hundred will accept the view that
the government had developed
sufficient testimony to lead un
avoidably to the conclusion that
tnere was something wrong with
the rest of the cans seized by the
inspectors- Indeed, the company
further added to this inference by
placing an expert of their own,
a college professor, on the stand
for the purpose of showing that
even if there was mould in the
remainder of the cans it was not
objectionable for the reason that
tehre is a lot of it in Rochefort
cheese! The main point of "the
whole thing is that the pure food
law prescribes that the contents
of a can shall be filled with noth
ing but pure material unless
branded with the exact nature of
the contents In view of this fact
the average person will doubtless
accept the view that the ruling
of the court comes dangerously
near setting the mark of propriety
on violations of the pure food law
regardless of its justice as figured
by the law. The general public
will probably accept the view
that it is not to be wondered at
that there are food frauds of
every character when courts re
fuse to accept even the most
damning inference as testimony
in such cases.

There's one rubber boot
that has "made good”
in Alaska, and that’s the
Goodrich
HIPRESS
White Boot
•With the Red-Line ’round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
"HI PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich "HIPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer th.-.n iron or steel! You don’t have to half
, sole thorn with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather sole?. The reason for this unusual service is that
"HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Mad a of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous procure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come ipart—they can’t look, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort
able, too— shaped to the foot while It’s working. We promise that once you start
weaiing White ‘ HIPRESS’’ you’ll newer be satisfied with anything else. And
remember —it has <t Ktd-Liuo 'round tno Top.

SEATTLE, March 27.—P- H.
Devlin, a former member of the
Saskatchewan parliament, was
taken into custody in this city
today, on orders.from the Canad
ian authorities and is now lodged
in jail awaiting extradition be
cause of an alleged connection
with the recent misappropriation
of some fifty thousand dollars be
longing to the provincial road
fund, the discovery of which has
created a great stir throughout
the Canadian country. The un
earthing of evidence that graft
has been rampant in the Canad
ian prvinces has led to the arrest
of a large number of persons who
have been prominently connected
w:th the administration of public
affairs. The testimony indicates
that the country has been sys
tematically robbed for years by a
group of politicians.
NOTICE TO PUBLIC.
On and after March first a deposit
of tan cents per bottle will be required
of all customer* purchasing milk at
the local business houses. Money will
