THE INVESTIGATION OF JUDGE SPEER’S DECISIONS.
Who ever thought the pendulum would turn and
swing so far back as to make Greene and Gaynor, the
great thieves of international reputation, victims, and in
a sense heroes, and that the Federal Judge who tried
and convicted them, is now himself to be brought
before the Bar for trial, forsooth, because he fined one
of the lawyers for Greene and Gaynor for contempt of
court, and because, in order to obtain an impartial Jury,
he drew his Jury largely from the country counties of the
district and not chiefly from Savannah, where Greene
and Gaynor had been lavishly spending the money which
they had pilfered from the government and created a
partial sentiment in their favor. Such has been the his
tory of the inconsistencies of republics. But who is on
top now, the common people, or the malefactors of great
wealth ?
Judge Emory Speer has been rcpeadedly criticised
for using proseoutions in his courts for violation of the
IT. S. Internal Revenue Statutes in such manner as to
aid in the enforcement of the Georgia Prohibition laws.
Naturally, this conduct on his part has imbittered the
liquor interests of the country. The liquor people have
always believed that they had vested almost divine
rights in this country,, and woe be unto any man in pub
lic life, even a Judge, who defied those rights.
JUDGE SPEER. HIS JUDICIAL CAREER AND THE PRES
ENT DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
The great mass of laboring people of this country,
through their unions and federations, bear many scars,
and have suffered many defeats in their struggles with
greedy capital and corporate wealth as the result of the
uniformly unfriendly attitude of the Federal Judiciary.
This was to be expected, since most of these judges,
prior to their elevation to the bench, had the great cor
porate wealth of the country for their clients. But in all
this /array of unfriendliness to labor in this most impor
tant branch of the government, there was one brilliant
and shining exception,—Judge Emory Speer, of Georgia.
He has never used the mailed hand of injunction, or arbi
trarily condemned proceedings for the purpose of crushing
organised labor. This Judge is now under investigation
by a Democratic administration and threatened with im
peachment proceedings by a Democratic Congress. He
has not been a passive, weak, or inactive Judge by any
means. The corporations, trusts and public plunderers
have felt the strong arm of the law as administered by
Judge Speer in his courts, ad have become restive and
impatient at the reasonable certainty of conviction for
guilt when tried in his courts. And he is to be impeached at
the instance of a Democratic Attorney General, and by a
Democratic Congress, and no other Judge is under at
tack. What is the necessary inference so far as organ
ised labor is concerned ?
The Foderal Judiciary is s» far removed from the
popular will in its selection and retention on the Bench,
that its only safe course seems to be to crook the cring
ing knee to corporate power wealth may follow
fawning. The strong arm of the law seems to have been
to punish and restrain the weak, the poor and the labor
ing man, and not for the fcrich criminal, who ruthlessly
plunders the public, and the Federal Judge who dar»s to
hold the scales of justice evenly is temperamentally
unfit to preside and must be removed by impeachment, if
necessary. There are many Federal Judges in the land,
all of them are human and make mistakes. None of
them are perfect, and yet Judge Speer, of Georgia, the
only one friendly to labor, is singled out to be eliminated
by impeachment if necessary.
Judge Emory Speer, during his entire career on the
Bench, has been uniformly friendly to organised labor.
As he has not been dependent upon politics, or the vote
of the people, to retain his position on the Bench, this
friendly attitude was certainly no mere selfish policy on
his part. In like manner, he has always rhown sympathy
and a disposition to help the weaker litigants in his
courts. It seems that for his own protection, he should
have made for himself friends of the mammon of unright
eousness, for they are now bitterly against him and are
trying to have him impeached and removed,

Obstacles Encountered at Panama
The difficulties under which the
Panama Canal was dug cannot be un
derstood by the layman who did not
have an opportunity to vlalt the Isth
muH during the construction period.
But when one considers that the
amount of material which poured down
Into Culebra Cut In the shapo of slides
and break*, alone amounted to ns
much Ha all of the horses In the Unit
ed States could pull If It were loaded
on wagons, and when he then further
considers that the sliding in of the
material multiplied the difficulties of
getting the other spoil out of the. cut,
it will be seen amid what difficulties
the men had to work.
Add to this a climate that was so
moist that shoes moulded over night,
no damp that wardrobes had to bo
fitted up with electric lights to keep
their contents from mllldewing; and
to this, arid a rainfall that frequently
WHAT IS TONNAGE ?
(Engineering News.)
Thorn are three ways of express
ing a vessel’s tonnage: as gross ton
nage, net tonnage, and tonnage dis
placement. The tonnage displace
ment Is measured in tons of 2240 lb.,
and refers to the actual rate of the
water displaced by the hull of a ves
sel.
For assessing Panama Canal tolls,
warships passing through the canal
are to be taxed on their tonnage dis
placement, “which is to be deter
mined from the vessel’s official dis
placement scale and curves,” in
connection with tihe draft, measured
at the time of the application for
passing through the canal. For the
determination of the mean draft, a
warship must, be placed at such lo
cation as the governor of the Panama
Canal shall order.
An interesting complication in
measurement may arise here over the
question as to the draft of a vessel
In salt water or In brackish water.
If the draft of the vessel Is taken
at the approach to the lowest lock,
either at Datum or at Mirallores, it
Is probable that the water will bo
fresh, or nearly so at least, when
traffic through the canal Is sufficient
to require a large volume of water for
lockage, so as to continually flush
the channel below with fresh water.
There may he conditions, however.
In which the shrface water will he
fresh, but the water near tihe bottom
will be salt, and It will bd a puzzle
to know what, factor to use In con
verting the total volume dlaplaced by
the vessel into tons of weight.
All other vessels than war vessels
passing through the Canal are to pay
tolls based on their net tonnage.
It seems a pity that in the opening
: of the Panama Canal, the. opportunity
\ was not taken advantage of to estab
lish in place of the antiquated sys
tem of tonnage measurement, some
simple system of measuring vessels
passing through the Canal which
should he easy of determination, and
which might tie the first Etep toward
an International standard for vessel
rating.
ONE YEAR'S ELECTRICAL
ADVANCE
(Power.)
Perhaps the most Important new de
velopment during the past year in the
electrical field, was the half-watt nit
rogen-filled tungsten lump brought
out by the General Electric Co., as
a result of several years work by
l>r. Irving Langmuir. There has been
little change in generators and mot
ors except In the size of the former to
keep pace with the Increasing ca
pacity of steam turbines. The largest
alternating-current generator Installed
during ISIS was a 25,000-kw. machine
at the Commonwealth Edison Co.,
of Chicago, although still larger di
rect-current machine, having a capa
city of 3760 kw., was Installed at the
Canal Hoad plant of the Cleveland
E’eetrlc Illuminating Co. For alter
natlng current transmission, 160,000
! volts still remains the upper limit,
] work on the Big Creek Development
In California, at which this is em
ployed. having progressed steadily
during the past year. In direct-cur
rent transmission, however, a hold
step was taken tn the decision to em
ploy the Ttiury system at 80.000 volts
to transmit 10.000 kw. from theTroli
hnttan Falls in Sweden to Copenhagen,
Denmark.

went as high as ten feet In a single
rainy action, on the Atlantic side, and
the tremendous Job the heroes of the
canal army had to face will begin to
appear in its true light. And yet,
in spite of all this they excavated
232,000,000 cubic yards of material in
less time tiran the estimates called
for the excavation of 103,000,000 cubic
yards.
If ever there were difficulties to
lend inspiration to a story those dif

,And nowhere else is there to be found
such an adequate picture of these dif
ficulties as the one contained in "The

ATTENTION FARMERS
CATO ADVISED FARMERS
TO BE GOOD NEIGHBORS.
About twenty-one hundred years ago
Marcus Porcius Cato, the great Roman
statesman, had several things to say
besides Carthago delenda est. In "De
Agriculture." he gave some very pro- j
nounced views on farming practices. A
modern appeal and a hint at co-opera- ,
tlon Is sounded in the following which
Is taken from "Roman Farm Manage
ment," a translation by “A Virginia
Farmer,” published by Macmillans:
"Bo a good neighbor. Do not
roughly give offense to your own
people. If the neighborhood re
gards you kindly, you will find a
readier market for what you have
Ito sell, you will more easily get
your work done, either on the place
or by contract. If you build, your
neighbors will aid you with their
services, their cattle and their ma
terials. If any misfortune should
overtake you (which God forbid!)
they will protect you with kindly
interest.”
THE 30 KNOT OCEAN LINER
In the year just ended we have seen
the last word In modern shipbuilding
appear In New York harbor and i! I
would perhaps be interesting to con- j
aider the strides made In this cen- |
tury. In 1900 the 23-knot “Deutsch- |
land" captured the blue ribbon of the |
Atlantic and when the Cunarders with I
26 knots to their credit obtained the I
pride of place, it was freely prophe- ;
sied that in a few years the four-day,
30-knot boat would be seen, but,
though the sizes of ships have in- 1
creased and shortly the giant “Impera- j
tor” will no longer be the mammoth !
of the seas, the speed has dropped, j
Economy In space, In fuel, In cost of
operation, lias compelled a halt and
we seem to have reached for the mo
ment the practical, highest speed of
a trans-atlantlc boat. That the limit
is actually reached is hardly possible,
but the burden of increased speed lies
now, not with the ship designer, but
with the engine designer, a smallet
engine of higher speed with some as
yet unknown reduction gear and we
shall have the 30-knot boat in eco- j
nomical practical form. The ship can
stand it, cen the engine designer de

Being the Story of Cabbage Head's
Travel From Farm to City Kitchen.
(From The New York Sun.)
A cabbage head is grown by a small
farmer in Connecticut, who gets a
cent and a half for It. It first goes
to the commission merchant, who
lives on Riverside Drive, pays $2,000
on upper Broadway, keeps a motor
car and spends $5,000 a year.
Next the cabbage is sent to the .
wholesaler, who lives on West End
Avenue, in an SI,BOO apartment, keeps i
a motor car and spends SB,OOO a year 1
Thence the cabbage goes to the job
ber, who lives in a $1,500 apartment I
on upp Broadway, keeps a motor car ,
and spends $5,000 a year.
From him the cabbage travels to
the retailer, who lives in a S7OO
apartment on a side street, has a
corner store for which he pays $25
a month rent, keeps two delivery
wagons at a cost of $l4O a month
and spends $2,500 a year on his liv
ing. Finally the cabbage gets to Mr
Ultimate Consumer, who lives In a
S4O-a-monthJtenement, rides' in the
trolley car or subway, spends all he;
can make or a little more to live, and
pays for that head of cabbage thir
teen cents.
