Not one word in regard Kiiut CooncUman to the liamieaal appeared in the daily papers until nearly a week had passed and then the Skeen organs aee the matter a modicum of attention. This paper was informed as to what had occurred and waited for some alga of recognition, of the importance of the stop takes by Mr. Skeen, from tho same aonreo that so blatantly announced a year age what this legal celebrity was about to accomplish in the pnrificatioa of an utterly corrupt hut not until the whole city town knew of tho peculiar' conduct of Mr. Skeen, haring been informed man by the retelling of the story from Skeen of the papers did oaa t giro publicity to the lnexplalnable conduct of their patron saint. For a time Mr. 8kaea stood in tho e rowed pealtwn of a prosecuting oarer. He informed the publie that he had nneorered "graft" hi the city administration, and orcry councilman had to suffer the penalty, for all the eouaeilmea. ho said, won alike guilty. Let ns take him at his word. What has been the sequel Two caaes, of all the councilman 1c caaes, were rigorously prosecuted and they were the actions against Fred W. Chambers and Robert Paine. Then there was n failure to proa acute, as though tho object of tho prosecutor had been attained. Why hold Prod Chambers np to aeora, if yon are Inspired by an absence of hatred and revenge, Mr. Skeen? What choice bare you is the matr ter. Mr. Skeen, now that yon hare made of youraelf a publie prosecutor? Tell us what has taken place between you and Mr. Craig; not only tall ui but tala the public Into your and ha honest. Thera are a umber of rersloua to this dismissal of the Craig case that hare gained wide eiwdenea which thla paper has had brought to its attention. Two months ago certain lawyers warn foretelling what was to oocar because of telephone messages that had been worhaerd and statements made by out of the principals. Whether they reflected npon Mr. Skeen in not for ua to any nt present and wa venture no opinion, hut wa foal It la due the public that thin paper call upon Mr. Skeen to explain.

Cther Mr. Sheen haa falsely charged Mr. Craig with n misdemeanor of a character eo carious that another city official on n similar charge was ousted from office, or Mr. Craig is guilty as charged. Were Mr. Skeen to admit that he brought the first action, which was against Mr. Chambers, purely through spite work, and ha had wreaked his revenge tad was satisfied, he would he confessing un outrageous wrong. Were he to declare that the people of Ogden repudiated him last full and, therefore, he was released from all to further prosecute the counwould be branding himself he cilman, as discredited. Were he to maintain that tho legislature enactments affected the atatus of tha prosecutions, he would bo pleading u mlurrpreeenta-tlou- , as tho Craig case was begun under legal procedure exactly similar to that which governed In the Chambers and Paine eases. Were he to plead lack of Interest, then he would stand out as n demagogue, who before election was lond fa proclaiming what he intended to do, hnt whe after election give the lie to all his utterances. eon-ffden- preserving of the health and morals of the people of Norway. In the past fifty years tha population of that country has increased sixty par cent, hut the consumption of aloohol per inhabitant haa decreased II per cent. Tha decrease has been moat marked ia the past twenty yearn. That ia a remarkable record ia sobriety. Tha right to soli liquor in Norway is granted by municipalities, but the company obtaining the license binds itself to carry on the traffic in the interests of the community, with n fixed annual return of not more than 6 per cent on its paid-ucapital. In estabthe tho question of system lishing compensation does not appear to have presented much difficulty. When the Samlag, or State system, was introduced two kinds of Uotaies worn ia existence, those granted annually or for a term not exceeding firs yawn, and privileged licenses granted for tki Ufa of tha licenser. In tha case of the first, no compensation whatever wan paid to thoso dispossessed of their license. Ia regard to the latter. Compensation was granted in the form of an annuity equal to the average year ly profile for tha throe yearn preceding tho suppression of the license. This provision is stlU in force. With these provisions the alms and principles of tha Samlag are summarized as follows: Tha elimination of private profit and securing the monopoly value for tha public; insuring highest quality of liquors sold; tha reduction of tho number of licenses; tho easy enforcement of the law; the destruction of the power of the spirit trade, and the furtherance of nil progressive measures of reform. The allotment of tho profits in Norway at present are aa follows: Te the state, (6 per cent; to the municipality in lieu of larger license duties now abolished, II per cent; and to objects of public utility not being chargeable on tha rates, but operating as counter to tho public heusa in towns, 10 per cant, and ia tha surrounding districts, 10 par cent. Tha combined capital of all tha 8am-lag- a la Norway In 1104 amounted te 1IS,000, and It haa never been mors than 9U0.0U0. Tha profits of tho trade, have oven under these restrictions, contributed niftce the establishment of the system $7,000,000 for objects of publie Interest. During the past eight years tho proportion accruing to tha state has been increased and set apart e till 1010 to form tha nucleus of an pension fund, which now amounts to $2,600,000. Whsra alcoholic liquors are excessively used, there is bound to nrlso mlrfortunra. There is no doubt that la tha United States today there la too much strong drink Indulged la and that tha people are suffering from Its effects. Long continued, these abuses will tell unfavorably on our national life. Just an sobriety ia Norway haa had It effect la the opposite direction, tending to preserve a race of glaoji In full possession of their physical strength. p old-ag- BRINGING THE LAW INTO CON- TEMPT. Portland Oregifelan: It Is not aurt prialng that men have contempt for courts or contempt for law when Judicial procedure remits In ouch pronounced perversion of Justice as was recorded in two cases in Saturday's dispatches. Whether tho fault by in the law or In its administration makes little difference In tha opinion people arc hound to entertala for a Judicial system through which guilty men obtain protection.

The question for the appellate court waa not whether Ruaf area n fugitive, bat whether Bhortrldge had defied the oourt. Under the supreme court' ruling, it will b necessary for n Judge to go out and ascertain whether n criminal Is n fugitive or not before it can safely ' adjudge an attorney guilty of eontempt for Interfering with orderly oourt procedure. The supreme court's decision did not go to the merits of the question. Judge Dunne set forth the conduct' for which he adjudged Bhortrldge la contempt, hut because he failed to alleys that Ruef waa n fugitive from Juatle the real question of contempt remains undecided. The supreme oourt saw a off some place in the dismal darkness of legal boga and went chaalng after it instead of following the plain path to the question whether Bbortridga was guilty.
