WONDERFUL
JUDGE LEAVES
OREGON BENCH
PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 3.—A vigor
ous and picturesque figure has left the
bench of the Oregon state circuit.
Henry E. McGinn, for six years judge
of Department No. 5 in Multnomah
county, retired yesterday at the ex
piration of his term of office.
His retirement was voluntary. He
had declined to be a candidate to suc
ceed himself, saying he would not, un
der any circumstances, accept a sec
ond term.
But Judge McGinn and his one term
on the bench will be remembered long
after some other judges and their do
ings are forgotten. The six years of
his incumbency have been crowded
with events of intense public interest.
There has been hardly a week in
that six-year period that the news
papers have not carried accounts of
some extraordinary occurrence in
Judge McGinn’s court.
Perhaps the judge had stopped a
trial with the remark that there was
no need of proceeding further, because
he would not convict any man on the
testimony of a “stool pigeon.” ^
Maybe he had laid down the prin
ciple that no woman would ever be
sent to prison from his court.
Or he might have released a youth
ful thief on the lad’s mere word of
honor to “keep straight” because the
judge believed that sending a man to
the penitentiary is “worse than seno
ing him to hell.”
still again, he might have gone
out of his way to excoriate a husbana
for not supporting his family, and
then have bargain'd with him the
terms of support <>n which he could
rave himself from ja.i, or he would de
clhte to a'v-ept the verdict of a jury in
a damage suit with the remark that
the damages allowed were too small.
It might have been any of these
things or many others of almost daily
occurrence. But nearly always there
has been something so out of the or
dinary that the court house reporters
would seize upon it for their papers.
Real news, too, every line of it, for
Judge McGinn is no “grand-stander.”
Those twin gods of respectabie jur
isprudence, precedent and technicality,
have had a sorry time of it from him.
He has shown vastly more interest in
some such matter as that an old wom
an who had traded her property
away under a misrepresentation
should get it back. And whether she
did it technically or untechnically
hasn’t particularly worried Judge
McGinn.
Precedents Swept Aside.
If precedent or technicality has
stood in the way of what he conceived
to be common justice in such a case
there would be a swooping gesture of
his big hand, as if to brush them
aside, as he spoke his mind from the
bench.
Lawyers who banked on precedent
and technicality on such occasions
have received precious little mercy
from the judge. Naturally enough he
hasn't been over-popular with them.
Certain lawyers—generally those on
Whose toes he had Stepped—have crit
icised him bitterly, as often as not in
open court.
Though impetuous and insistent at
times to the point of being absolutely
dictatorial, there isn’t much of the
over-lord about Judge McGinn. In

i
his six years on the bench he has never j
disciplined or fined lawyers for con-1
tempt who argued with him, no mat
ter what they said, but then and there
returned as hot shot as he got.
Trials Often Stopped.
On occasions his impulsiveness has
led him to take snap judgment on a
case and stop the trial with the re
mark that he had made up his mind
and didn’t care to hear further evi
dence. But if the opposing lawyer
could convince him that the court was
wrong Judge McGinn has often re
versed his ruling and ordered that the
case proceed. Indeed he freuently af
ter such an incident has decided in
favor of that lawyer’s client.
By reason of his impatience with
technvulities, his impulsiveness and
I his peculiar views against sending any
’ perso : io the penitentiary—peculiar,
at any rate, in comparison with the
accepted conventional view of punish
ing the wrong-doer—lawyers and un
successful litigants have sometimes
sneeringly referred to Judge McGinn
as “crazy” and “high handed,” and
have said that he decides “without
regard to law.”
Judge McGinn is not “crazy,” but
he is intensely human—the most hu
man judge, perhaps, that ever sat on
the Oregon bench, and his faults have
been human faults. Really to under
stand him, though, one must get a
glimpse of the philosophy that runs
through all his decisions.
In conversation with a friend the
other day, Judge McGinn summed up
that philosophy in a few pithy sen
tences. Here they are:
“No fellow can look into another’s
eye and tell what kind of a man he js
—but he can look into his own heart.”
T. R. Kershaw, former state fish
commissioner of Washington, an
nounces that he has completed the or
ganization of the Alaska Packing &
Navigation company and that the com-1
pany will build a two-line salmon can
nery at Chatham strait, about 100
miles south of Juneau and will have
the same in operation next summer.
