The State and the Mercer.

The st. Paul morning papers, at
least one of which is known to be-
long to Mr.. Hill, are "tickled to
death" over the reversal of the cir
cult courts action in the states mer-
ger case. That the state should be
embarrassed in an effort to prevent
a foreign corporation from being
made use Of to circumvent the laws
Of this state seems to strike our st.
Paul contemporaries as just about the
jolliest thing that ever happened.
They are so pleased that they can
not conceal their satisfaction over
what might mean the complete tri-
umph over the laws Of the state, if 1t

The Crop Outlook.

That the three northwestern wheat
states will have wheat acreage
larger than last year has been the ex-
pectation ever since wheat in Mime
apolis sold above 81. To-day wheat
is high, If judged by prices of last
year, or by average prices of longer
period. Yet it is as yet an open
proposition as to whether it Is too
high. '.., r.. - f- .",..
A year ago Minneapolis wheat was
around 75c; to-day it is In, the neigh
borhood Of csc. A year ago there was
a growing winter wheat area Of 34,-
100000 acres, Of which the condition
was 97.3, and to-day there is an area
of 100000 acres, the condition OF
which, the government report of yes
terday said, is 1865. There is visible
supply Of 31,1S1, 900 bushels against
40,164,000 year ago, and other minor
strengthening factors.
Whether or not these factors, with
100000 bushels less than last year
In the supply and 100000 acres less
winter wheat 20.8 points lower in con-
dition are more than offset by a price
range twenty cents higher, is some
thing everyone may figure for himself.
They are mentioned here only to show
that while speculation and bull man
ipulation put wheat above a dollar
there was really something legitimate
underlying it all. Else would, wheat
not have held, as it has, in the sos,
after the speculation subsidized.
What the farmer cares about Is
whether he will get a good price for
his wheat when he comes to market
it next fall. There Is no reason why
he should not. There is not much
wheat in the country and for several
years increased production has hardly
kept pace with increased consump-
ton. This is the year production
ought to catch up, but will it do so?
We already know. that it is unrea.
sonable to expect any new record pro.
duction in winter wheat, and the
northwest has a backward start ir
spring wheat seeding. This is of nc
significance relative to the effect upor
the country. With any kind Of a goot
season there will be abundant crops
and continued prosperity In Minnesota
and the Dakotas, but it is not certain
that there will be more wheat. /
there Is q record breaking wheat croI
up here, even then the farmer is likel!
to get profitable return and if ther'
Is not, those who have good whea
yields will do well. , .....-.,-.-. =,
One thing is certain, no farmer neet
hesitate to plant wheat thru fear tina
every other farmer will do the SAM
and prices will be affected. There i
no danger of this. What the pric
will be in the fall Is, of course, beyont
the ken Of any man, but the days O
sixty cent wheat are gone and are no
likely to return very soon.

The democrats in congress point to the
narrow margin in favor of the govern
ment in the decision of the supreme court
on the merger case, and argue that one
judge on that court might reverse the
decision. Therefore it is important, they
argue, to have a president who will ap-
point judges Of the supreme court who
are not in sympathy with the trusts That
calls attention to some facts. Fourteen
federal judges have now passed upon the

Will the Bar Be Heard?

Interest Is growing in the move
ment for a better class Of supreme
court nominations. Since the action
of the State Bar association, this phase
of the political situation has been
given wide discussion. All concede
that some change in the present sys-
tenn of nominating candidates is a
prerequisite to any Improvement in
results. The State Bar association has
recommended that supreme court
nominations be made first. This has
found some favor. but, as T h 9
j ournal pointed out at the time,
a mere change in the order Of nomi-
nations would not remove the Judges
from the atmosphere of deals and
barriers. If they are named first, they
will have an advantage when it comes
to a trade, which, it is to be feared,
they would make use Of. a.. "

to be wondered at that the, average

cal trade that may be beneficial to him

There are many obstacles in the
way Of such a meeting, but If the at
torneys of the state were really alive
to the Importance Of the question, all
difficulties could be surmounted. A
nonpartizan and representative gath
ering of lawyers would not be apt to
to dictate, but their decision would
carry great weight with the laymen.
Some think that the bar wants

attorneys are those who use common
sense as we'll as legal tradition in their
decisions, who think clearly and act
directly. Lawyers fight their cases to
win, but If they lose they bear no
malice, so long as justice is done. Talk
with attorneys and you will find nine
out of ten taking this broad view of
the question. The selection Of supreme
judges could safely be left to the Min
nesota bar. s.'-
