JEROME, IN AN ADDRESS,
IS R00SEEELT'S CRITIC

Warm Springs, Ga, July 20.-District
Attorney Jerome Of New York deIiy-
cred an address on Public Opinion, Its
Power; Some of It's Evils and Inius-
tees, and Our Duty as Lawyers to IT,
before the Georgia Bar association last
night. In the course of his address
Mr.. Jerome referred to President Roose-
welt IS criticism of a United States
court judge, saying:
There Is one injustice which public
opinion not infrequently does, and it
is one which lawyers can do much to
correct, and that is the criticism Of
judges for decisions which they could
not avoid making if they obeyed the
law. The recent spectacle of the ma
TONS chief executive, himself not a
lawyer, criticizing in a public docu-
ment federal Judge for his decision on
point of law has not. believe, COM
mended itself to our profession. The
laws are our laws. Public opinion made
them and can change them.
ssThe man who declares he is indif.
ferent to public opinion" said Mr..
Jerome, if he be not fanatic, is too
often something of fool and knave
Ia knave to lie and fool to think
you believe him. To public officer
the discharge of his duty with or in
the face Of public opinion is like the
difference in the running of an engine
with oiled or sanded bearings.

Mayor Rose Defended.

To the Editor of The Journal:
When TIL Jour n i attacks one IS
friend, as you did mine in last night g
paper, I suppose the wise thing to do is
do a little quiet "cussing' and let it
go at that, but your statements about
SO misleading and unfair that they
ought not to go unchallenged. Mayor
Rose is square, able, efficient public
servant. He was removed from Office
by the governor Of Kansas ostensibly
for failing to enforce the prohibition
laws of that state, but in truth and
in factt he was removed for fighting The
rich tax dodgers and trying to force a
greedy. water company to accept 9
the people.
The prohibition laws. Of Kansas are
not enforced in single city Of Kan
sas. Has any one heard Of any other
mayor in Kansas being removed for
failure to enforce the prohibition lawss
Hardly-and Mayor Rose would not
have been removed had he left the rich
grafters alone who want the use Of
the peoples property for nothing, and
put the cost Of government upon them
as well. The governor. Of Kansas and
the courts have simply done the bid
ding Of the privileged interests and
caused the removal Of fearless cham
pion Of the people Is cause.
4 Mayor Rose g case will now go to the
supreme court Of the United States, and
perhaps If Justice Harlan gets a whack
at this nScontemptD business things
may take on a different aspect. Ger.
tain it is that no governor IL any state
| should have the right to violate the
principle Of local self-goyernment, and
/ remove the executive Of city chosen
by the people Of that city. &: !,

give it while you are alive, and do not

The Baseball Row.

Aside from the matter Of umpires'
decisions, which can be much more
volubly debated on the bleachers than
in newspaper, the Minneapolis base
ball situation exhibits some phases
worthy of comment. In the first place,
before attempting to control others, we
should learn to control ourselves. The
local crowd of baseball rooters appear
to have forgotten that. There Is no
excuse for mobbing an umpire, no mat
ter how irritating his decisions. The
city should be and is very much
ashamed of the proceedings at the ball
park during the past few days. Eggs
are not arguments. Threats Of personal
violence by thousand men against one
are evidence Of cowardice rather than
Of courage.
So much for the audience. But how
about the management? The manager
of the local team appears to be the vic
tim Of a. deep-seated animosity in the
baseball league. One has but to read
the statements emanating from the
president, located in Milwaukee, to
learn that. Whenever the local team
makes a showing there is a hubbub
raised, and in the melee the Minneap-
oils team generally finds some Of its
strongest members under suspension.
This may be one Of the accidents of
baseball warfare. but It seems to have
risen to the dignity Of habit here.
If the president of the association
is such martinez for discipline, and at
the same time wants the game to make
financial progress, he should know that
one Of the first requisites and, in. fact
the only requisite for orderly baseball
is competent and fair umpires. To re
fuse to provide them or even to re
move an incompetent umpire indicates
that there is something in the mind Of
the president of the league besides thu
interests of the game. If he has 6
feud with the manager Of the Mime
apolis team, there must be some way
they can fight it out without making
the city a spectator of their puny ami
mosities. - z I :. .-..,-

The Race with the Rust.

The race with the rust, that feature
of the crop year that has become an
annual, is now on. The wheat in Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Da-
kota covers an areas.so large, with a
condition averaging so high, that ex-
pectation of a bumper crop is war
ranted. Within a day or so, however,
the dreaded black rust has appeared in
several places. The three elements
are the wheat, the weather and the
infection. There Is stage Of growth
at which the plant is too immature to
be seriously affected, for black rust
shrinks the heads, and obviously it
cannot do this until there is something
there to shrink or something in the
process of formation. There Is later
stage at which the wheat is, SO far along
that the rust can but reduce the quality
at worst but cannot ruin it. Rust spreads
rapidly and does killing work, or is
checked and confined to small areas with
unimportant damage, according as the
weather changes at time of suscepti-
bility on the part of the crop. . .s
One reason, then, why the recent, re-
ports have not created more of a scare
is that the weather has been so favor.
able. The rust may stand like black
beast ready to devour, but good
weather, like an iron chain, holds 1t
back. Meanwhile the crop keeps pull
ing ahead towards the line of safety.
In 1904 when the great damage was
done there was weather of the damp
muggy kind, with alternate rains ant
hot sunshine. The wheat in many local
tiles was in condition highly suscepti
BILE, and the damage was done. But last
year, at about this time, black rust
appeared and threatened great losses
yet the damage was inconsequential OF
the whole because Of favorable weathe,
over the critical period.
There is another thing to be remem
bered-the theory Of incubation ad
vanced two years ago by the professor
at the st. Anthony Park experiment
station, who argued that seed whea
ITOu IuSG-1uIcCtCu hCAOoy IL PAoROAA.
selected, would insure immunity i
marked degree. There is also to b
considered the effect Of the good see'
trains, the lectures to farmers, the bu
letins printed and distributed by tn
experiment station and the practice
experience Of the farmers themselves.
The northwest was caught one yea
all unprepared and heavy losses fol
lowed from an infection little under
stood. Today there is a situation tina
might be- expected to cause alarm, BIZ
is taken calmly, because nature, so ia
has favored the country with tempe:
atures and moisture distribution t
make crop, and because past exper
ence and seed selection and other pr
cautions have strengthened the crop o
!: the whole and rendered it, less liable t
destruction. - ~ .~@
