TUFT SAYS COURTS DO HOT NOW METE
OUT ? JUSTICE ? BUT THAT THE*
SHOULD BE MADE TO
The report of the address delivered
on the 8th lost, at Hoi Springs 07 Mr.
Talt before the Virginia Bar Associa
tion reveals it to bo a most important
utterance -under the circumstance,
one of the most important of recent
years, remembering that. Mr. Taft is
not only a candidate for tbe presidency
but was a judge and is probably des
tined ultimately for the Supreme
bench. Among the striking points of
the speech are the following:
"Have we the right to say that our
present administration of justice gen
erally insures continued popular satis
faction with its results? I think not.
,
"I beli've that ths institution of
private property, next to that of per
sonal liberty, has had mo?t to do with
the uplifting and physical and moral
improvement of the whole human race.
"The judges of the country, both
state and national, on an average, ar?.
good meu.
"The inequality that exists in our
present administration of justice, and
that, sooner or later is certaia to rise
aud trouble us, and to call for popular
condemnation acd reform, is in the
unequal burden which the delays
and expense of litigation under our
present system impose on the poor
litigant. (
"Everything that tends to prolong or
delay liti .ation between individuals, or
between individuals and corporations,
is a great a vantage for that litigant
who has the lon^ purse. , '
"I believe that a great reform might
be etTected, certainly in th? Federal
courts, and I thick, too, in the State
courts, by a mandatory reduction of
the court costs and fees.
' Irritation at tbo inequalities in our
admin'stra'.ion of justice may be re
duced by the Introduction of a system
for the nettling of damage suits
brought by employes against the public
service corporations through official
arbitration and without resort to jury
trial."

THE THUNDERS AND THE LIGHTNINGS
The youth who Is running the Jimoau
Record, in the issue following the re
ception of the election returns gives
the names of some others whom he ii
going to 'ight in addition to the elected
delegate. Among the number are three
of the oldest residents, mos; distinguish
ed citizens and two of the leading law
yers of 'h - dis'rict of Alaska, Judge
Held, . hi. Maloney and Mayor Valen
tine. T eir sin consists of having ad
vised Jut.ge Wickersham to enter the
race for the delega'esbipand for this au
dacity?in oppos ng Governor Hoggatt's
candiiUte? this youth announces
his in eutioG to punish them. And no
sooner said than done? he at once be
gins to a'raign the several gentlemen
before the public bar. O.' course they
have no recourse ? the?e men with the
public approval expressed in the big
majority vote of Ust Tuesday behind
them.
It seems a shame to see such likely
looking newspaper property as Is the
Juneau liecoad bein? ruined in this
fashion.
It is certa'.nly up to Skogway now to
get together on the question of framing f
up a creditable exhibit for the A. V I', j
exposition. This show next year Is to
be a great affair and of a! I points ia Al- i
a*ka to receive direct benefit* from J
the interest awakened in the north t
country and travel induced this way, ,
Skagway will receive ihe most. Let us c
gat together and frame an interesting (
exhibit that will put the name of Skat:- I
way in the mlnd? of every man and wo- ,
man who >* into the Alaskan building
next year.
Two ministerial candidates na\ncd
Adam and Low preached in a Scottish
church. Mr. Low preachcd in the
morning and took for his text,' "Adam,
where art thou?"
He made a most excellent discourse,
and the congregation was much edilied.
In the evening Mr. Adam preached
and took for his text, "Lo, here I am!"
One piano, three automobiles and
worth of cigarettes were shipped ,
to Bering sea points during June, ac
cording to the reports of Captain A.
P. Spalding, Seattle harbor master,
which goes to show now civilization
is creeping upon the wilderness.

TOMORROW " .
Though thou comost, thou art never
here, Tomorrow !
The dawn of thy arrival brings today,
With its redundant joy or abject sor
row.
Auid Time and Lifetime pass away.
Life and- Death shall meet und part for
ever,
And age on age to drifting down the
years,
Vet thou art there in the Vale of
Never? J
Man builds his hopj in thee and?
disappears.
Wo live in the present and tho past is
buried;
The future is just ss thy coming? not
here:
And man, though his movements be
leisure or hurried,
Must dwell in the Now or forget tliou
art near;
Or go down to his grave, his hopes un
fulfilled?
The fate of those who on thy coming
shall build.
