For the benefit of millers who have
contended that durum wheat cannot
be used in this country to advantage
Mr. Carleton calls attention to the
fact that the same Hungarian roller
process is used to grind wheat by
mills through Russia that is used in
this country. He also calls attention

Change in Schedule.

Beginning yesterday, the schedule
for passenger trains on the Montana
railroad was changed. The outgoing
train now leaves at 7:3O in the morning
instead of Sis as formerly and the
incoming train does not arrive until
3:55 instead of $3.50. The management
announces that the reason for the
change is the large amount of con-
struction work which is now being done
on the road and especially down in Six
teen Mile. This work necessarily
delays the train somewhat and it was
thought better to leave here earlier
than to take the chances of missing
connection with the Northern Pa
cfic at Lombard.

An Honest Governor.

Hurrah for Governor s. H. Elrod, OF
South Dakota, who. in his retiring adj
dress to the Legislature, denounced in
emphatic terms the deal by which that
State came in possession of some $25, 900
through suit against the State of North
Carolina on bonds issued by North Caro-
lima during the carpetbag regime. The
Governor said that the State had no
right to take the money, and that the
university to which 1t was given should
not have touched it because it was
tainted. He. therefore, recommended that
the Legislature pass a bill to return the
money to North Carolina. He concluded
by saying that 1t was evident that ingen-
ious schemers were using the State for
private ends.
Precisely so. These schemers had no
love for South Dakota, and did not give
the bonds to that State. except to carry
out their own design. They could not Of
themselves bring suit against North Caro-
lima, and so by q bargain engaged the
State of South Dakota to bring suit for
them. To say the least. 1t was an I'M
dignifed and unfriendly act on the part
of a sister State. and q reproach Upon
South Dakota, which can only be re-
moved by following the suggestion OF
the retiring Governor, and refunding the
money.

The Mosaic Law.

The address OF the Rev. DR.. Calisch
before the City Bar Association, on the
Mosaic law, as published in The Times
Dispatch Of yesterday, was scholarly and
inspiring. The Bible law is the founda-
ton OF all law. the warp and wool of
the law, and II it SHOULD be eliminated
we should have chaos and anarchy. 1t
is the law that has been tested and proven
by centuries OF practice, and the whole
world would be better II the laws of
Moses were more rigidly observed.
But the glory Of the Mosaic law as
administered was the lesson and the
spirit Of obedience which 1t taught. In
the ayes of God the greatest sin which
Israel committed from time to time was
the sin, of disobedience. Invariably when
that sin was committed the penalty was
sure, and Israel was compelled to re-
pent In sackcloth and ashes before the
nation was restored to favor.
1t is that spirit among the people which
Is the life Of the law, and without which
the law becomes a dead letter. The law
has no Inherent force. 1t must be sus.
tanned by public sentiment. or 1t will

ports, following on the heels of the
brownsville incident, 1t will be hard to
mako tho general public believe that the
recent order ASSIGNING all negro troops
to the Philippines was n matter OF routine
and without design. The negro soldiers
are giving the War Department much
anxiety, II not actual trouble, and the
department would feel much relieved, no
doubt, to have them all removed beyond
the seas.
The subject of deportation OF the negro
race as n solution OF the negro problem
has been often discussed. but 1t is imprac-
ticable. Nor would 1t be just to Danish
the good negroes OF the country. who are
largely in the majority, because of the
sins of the bad. But it would be practi-
cable and It would be n complete solr-
ton of the problem, so far as this conn
try Is concerned, II each and every bad
negro convicted of n felony should be
banished to the Philippines, or to some
States. In every such case we should rid
ourselves at once and forever OF that par
ticular bad negro. and that mode of pun
ishment would be n terror to the criminal
class of blacks. If they understood that
aipon conviction OF felony they would
be sent forever from the land they love
so we'll, tho restraining influence would
be incalculable..
The idea is by no means original or
new. On February IS. 1926. the General
Assembly OF Virginia enacted a law pro-
viding that 'if, after the first day OF
March, any free negro or mulatto felon-
iously take, steal and carry away any
goods or chattels to the value OF $40, or
upwards. or any other thing to the value
of $40. OIL upwards. the stealing whereof
is made felony by law, he or she so
offending shall be deemed guilty Of grand
larceny, and, being thereof duly con-
victed, shall be punished by stripes. sale,
transportation and Punishment"
That statute Is now out of date, but a
new Statute In each, State could legally
be enacted and enforced providing banish-
ment or imprisonment. in the discretion of
tho jury, as a punishment for felony.
Such a statute would apply to both races,
and would be the means of getting rid
OF bad white men as we'll as bad negroes.
However, we are not prepared to recon-
mend it.

If your Amherst correspondent had noted

In several issues Of The Times-Dspatch

statements were made under headlines

and looking for that item, came very near

impartial jury, after very short absence
from the courtroom. rendered a verdict
of acquittal. This is considered by all a
complete vindication,
