SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Opinions Handed Down Yesterday
Afternoon.

Afternoon.
Several decisions of interest were made by
the United States Supreme Court after The
Stars report closed yesterday.
The case of the territory of New Mexico
AGAINST the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
and other railroad companies operating in
Grant county, New Mexico, was dismissed
for want OF Jurisdiction by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The case in
yolved the right of the county commission
ers of Grant county to assess a tax of more
than three mills on the dollar to pay judg-
1nents against the county on account of
preyious administrations. The railroad COM
panies resisted the levy as contrary TO the
territorial laws. The effect Of the action
is to leave In force the decision of the su-
preme court Of New Mexico, which was for
the railroads.
In the case of George w. Felts, under
sentence TO life imprisonment in Winnie
bago county, Illinois, on the charge of muir
der the court affirmed the decision of the
circuit court of the United States for the
northern district of illinois, refusing to
grant a writ OF habeas corpus. Felts is a
deaf man. and as he could not hear the tes-
timony against him he brought the case to
the Supreme Court the ground that he
had not had q fair trial.
The court issued an order advancing the
cases of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy Railroad Company against the va
rious counties of Nebraska involving taxes
levied against the road, and set 1t for Octo-
Der next.

Poetry, Art and the Machine.

From tie Reader.
Poetry and art have these many years
pictured the labors Of men and women in
the harvest field. From Ruth. the CLEANER
TO Aiilets Reaper we have read the long
melancholy story of the toilers gathering
with crude, wasteful. inbuman haudtools
the crops Of the world that the nations
might have bread. Rightly understood
these two women. living so far apart, are
pathetic monuments to the astounding stu
pidiJy that could permit such things when
we now see by taking thought q ma
chine can release humanity from such
seuseless labor. With a singular perversity
artists have delighted to paint pictures Of
foolish toll. Even now the critics tell us
that neither the mower. the reaper. thresh-
ing ma chine or the sulky pillow are fit sub
jects for picture. Never was there a
greater blunder. The glory and ma testy of
our mighty harvests. won for the feeding
OF the world with so little labor that the
vast wheat fields seem lonely, the smoking
Ciuuus OF chaff and straw blown high In the
air from Whlrrng thrcsAers. the great COM
pauics of men and horses marching to the
horizon as the plows turn wide sweeps of
long laCe-like threads over the brown earn
whore springs the growing crop These and
e hundred other scenes are 1T themes for
any poet. In our fields are no sad multi
tudes Of in-paid. short-iived peasants
crushed and bent by the iniquity of tho
sickle Why sing the sad Song of the
Reaper, when q grand. inspiring epic of the
harvesting machine awaits the poet and
painter who can see and understand?

The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1906-07-27

Gov. Folk doesn't believe that the
country is going to the bowwows be-
cause of the recent exposure of tainted
business methods. In an address deliv-
cred before the retail merchants of
Missouri, gathered in convention at
Jefferson City. he declared that "all
business will be better for the cleansing
process it is going through and for the
stamping out of evil" No man who is
doing an honest business can be injured
by the light, said the governor Hav-
ing delivered these wholesome precepts,
the governor followed with some bust
ness advice that was equally pertinent
and sound. "Patronize your town pa
pers," he admonished them. He told
those assembled retailers that if they
would thrive they must advertise their
business. "You build up your local pa
pers and they will build the town up. "
he continued, and, of course, the slow
est merchants from the very slowest
towns in Missouri could not help but
draw the inference that whatever
agency made for the building up of the
town, made also for the extension Of
their own particular traffic. The gov.
ernor told them straight, too, that ''no
merchant can succeed without adver.
tising." This, Of course, is an old truth
that has been restated many times
over, but it Is one Of the great truths
that need to be reiterated to ears that
are sometimes Z little dull Of ap'
prehension.
The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1906-07-27

The dispatches that relate that COM
mission has recommended a sentence of
death for General Stoessel, the brave
defender of Port Arthur, do not give
the character of the evidence on which
the decision was based. It is very
probable, however, that as Rojestvensky
escaped punishment only because he
was mentally incompetent at the time
of his surrender, all that was necessary
was to establish the sanity of Stoessel.
The Russian law holds a commander re-
sponsible for defeat, however unavoid-
able that defeat may be, and the ver-
dict is probably in line with the bar
barrie requirements of that law. The
world has long since acquitted Stoessel Of
the accusations that he surrendered the
stronghold unnecessarily, and has placed
the allegations that he had sufficient
munitions and provisions as wholly
imaginary, Nogi complimented him
highly for his superb resistance to the
burrowing besiegers, and Japan paid
him honors which it never pays On
unworthy foe.
