HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE.
The Denver Open House was
packed with people. Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts held their attention
for a time, bnt they were impatient to
hear "Teddy." He was late. He had
not yet arrived. Expectation became
noisy, restless, hostile. Presently
we heard the low grumble of a crowd
shontine in the street The word was
cried about that he was coming. And
almost immediately, in a crash of mu
sic from the band, he strode down to
the footlights and meed the shouting
audience.
He looked tired. But without
waiting for . silence, with his head
down as if he were about to charge,
he bared his teeth and uttered some
thing unintelligible in a hoarse voice.
The audience roared. He took a long
breath, watching them, dogged, de
termined, filling his lungs; and then
with a sudden gesture that compelled
silence he screamed at them, with all
his teeth showing: "We stand on
a gold platform!"
It came to them like a blow in the
face; and before they could take
voice, he adding, pounding out the
words with his first: "We stand for
same thing in Colorado that we stand
for in New York!"
He got no further. The shout of
applause that followed came in a roar
of delight from a thousand throats.
They cheered him as if he had said
the one thing they had been waiting to
hear, instead of the very thing that no
Bepublican politican in Denver, would
have dared whisper to any single one
of them in the dark behind a locked
door. They cheered him as if they
would split their throats. A startled
Democratic politican who stood near
me cried: "Great 6! He hasn't
converted this crowd to the gold
standard, has he?" (The wisdom of
politicans!) They cheered his cour
age, his truth, his defiance of political
hedging, his honesty, his manliness.
It was the cheer of pride, of love, of
admiration. It was the voice of our
people raised to greet those very quali
ties in a politician which the Beast has
tried to crush. It was, to me, the
voice of hope.
I went' home that night resolved
never to forget the lesson. Often
since, when I have faced the hoot of
prejudiced opposition from my own
small stage in public life, I have
remembered Roosevelt, and filled my
lungs again, and cleared my throat for
another defiance. For I believe in
that way, with our people, there is
hope. Judge Lindsey in the Novem

COURTS OF "JUSTICE." '
The people are much displeased
with the manner in which court busi
ness is often conducted, but we doubt
if they will ever accomplish reform.
The people grumble a great deal, but
steadily neglect public affairs. There
is really no reason why the people
should not have public affairs sensi
bly, economically and expeditiously
conducted, except that the politicians
always manage to split the people into
factions, and nothing is done.
Almost every noted lawyer has con
fessed that the courts are too slow and
too expensive, and that they encourage
litigation that k extremely discredi
table in its character, if not positively
dishonest. Yet nothing is done, ex
cept to grumble. A writer in Atlan
tic Monthly calls attention to a grim
ly humorous illustration of one of the
results to the litigant found in a New
York law suit which reached a final
chapter recently in the Court of Ap
peals. It was a complex case against
an insurance company on some poli-'
cies of insurance, and each time it was
tried it took from a week to two
weeks' attention of court and jury.
Owing to reversals and new trails-ordered
by appellate courts, it had to be
tried nine times. It was'in the courts
from 1882 to 1902. The plaintiff be
came at last so sick and dishearten
ed with his interminable law suit that
he abandoned it, refused his law-
yers to consult with them about it or to
appear when the case was being tried.
The lawyers had themselves spent over
forty-five hundred dollars' on fighting
the case, and had worked on' it for
nearly twentv years. Their client
having abandoned them, they settled
the case for thirty .thousand dollars,
and took the money themselves for
their fee. The 'last chapter of the
litigation was an unsuccessful attempt
by the receiver in insolvency of the
plaintiff to make the lawyers give up
some of their fee to their client's cred
itors. How 'much the twenty years'
delay in the law suit had to do with
the insolvency it is impossible to say
but such an outcome, to the lay mind,
seems hardly satisfactory as a'result of
twenty years of litigation, of nine
trials, and seventy-two days' time of
over a hundred jurors.
In one of the fairly recent volumes
of the New York Court of Appeals
Reports is contained the last chapter
of a famous and extraordinary case,
which is a gross illustration of this in-
terminableness, and an extreme
though characteristic example of its
results. The court record of the last
chapter of this law suit is curt and
obscure; hardly what one might ex
pect for an extraordinary case. It
consists of eight words: "Judgment
and order affirmed with cost No
opinion." These eight worcU make
the close of a simple accident case in
volving no difficult questions of law,
which has been in the courts contin
uously for twenty-two years. It had
been tried before juries seven times.
It has been argued in appellate courts
ten times. The final bill of costs in
the case, not including lawyers'
charges or the cost of printing seven
different volumes of testimony,
each of from two or three hun
dred pages, as required in appell
ate courts on the various appeals, and
not including any of defendants ex
penses whatever, is over two thousand
dollars. A conservative estimate of
the expense of this litigation not in
eluding lawyers' fees probably would
be five thousands dollars. Atchison

Therltius mornings Sun
day .atweigned about ten
pounds, and .comprised all sorts of
colored supplements, and sheet music,
and wall paper, and doilies, and pi nk
and green sections.
The editorial page was especially
admirable. There were six columns
of moral and political essays, all point
ing the way to the higher life. No
man could read that editorial page
without experiencing a desire to scale
the heights and plant the standard of
purity upon the whatyoucallims. That
page was simply a clarion call, urging
people to forsake error, and sin, and
waywardness, and gird themselves
with righteousness.
Turning from the editorial page, the
prospect is not so pleasing. Many
fake doctors have their announcements
there. They tell of impossible cures,
they make the most absurd promises;
they describe ghastly and sickening
diseases in a brutally frank way, and
often verge upon the indecent. Such
advertisements are indescribably fil
thy, and they cannot be read without
injury to the morals, especially of the
young.
There were advertisements of patent
medicines', making false claims as to
their merits. The manufacturers of
these medicines dare not print upon
the labels the claims they make in
their newspaper advertisements. The
government forbids that The news
paper that prints such advertisements
indorses them to a certain extent, even
though they may disclaim such in
dorsement. People who subscribe for
a newspaper and take it into their
homes, hold it responsible for all its
contents, and, if they are buncoed
through its agency, they have a per
fect right to feel resentful.
The Sunday paper in question con
tains a vast amount of advertising that
is an obvious snare, in the minds of
world-wise people, but it will catch
multitudes whose wisdom teeth are not
fairly cut
And so what is the use of all the
fine preaching on the editorial page?
Of what avail would be a ringing ser
mon against gambling, if the pastor
knew that a poker game was in prog
ress in the basement of the church?
The Sunday newspaper that preach
es morality and clean living, and other
fine thmes on its editorial page, should
be clean throughout, or it is sure to be
held guilty of hypocrisy, which, by
universal consent, is one 01 tne unpar
donable sins. W. A. White. v.
