The trip Of the president down the
Mississippi last week again brings up
the discussion of the deep waterways
from the lakes to the gulf-and incidon-
tally whether waterway can compete
with railways The only thing that is
certain about this is the fact that the
railways have knocka out the steam :
boat traffic on the Mississippi as it is at
present. 1t is argued however that if
the river was deeper and would float
larger boats with larger cargoes that
this condition would be reversed. That
is theory, that under present condi-
'tions would cost hundred million dol
Oars to prove-and then perhaps prove
the opposite. j.

X Messrs. Gompers, ct al, have had anos
thor decision against them; this time by
the us. circuit court of appeals. The
court in substance says that men in any
position must obey the mandates of the
courts al nything else would be.anarchy.
This is pretty strong doctrine but 1t is
true. 1t is not question whether Mr..
Gompers was right in the abstract in de-
claring certain stove factory as unfair
when the court had granted az. injunc.
ton against it, but whether Mr.. Comp
ers should obey the court whether right
or wrong. There are hundreds of men
in prisons today who are innocent of
crime-hut appearances were against
them-and the law has to be observed.

cause some are guilty. Courts .uale er-

less obeyed would be useless

SUPPLEMENTAL LEGISLATION

Times have occurred in history at which
there was an utter lack oflaw or statute
to govern certain. unforeseen matters of
government which had arisen and which
had to be dealt with in some manner.
We have already ran up against pretty
nearly such conditions in this new state
once or twice: In such case we have re.
ferred the matter to the supreme court
of the state and SO far they have gener-
ally, by using some ingenuity and rath
er broad interpretations, got us out OF
the hole. This sort of thing might oc
cur at any time and indeed we be LETT
with absolutely no rule of legal proceed.
nre and yet we be compelled to proceed
In order to avoid such a contingency
woulin't't be good idea to have con
stltutional amendment, giving the judg.
es power on application, to say first, tha,
an unforeseen contingency in the govern.
ment had arisen; second, that some
| method of procedure was necessary al
once; and third, to say what the proper
procedure should be. OF course limit
ing the power to the case in hand fo,
that time'only, leaving the actual per
manent legislation until succeeding leg
islature. The supreme bench is usual,
composed of conservative body o
learned men and there is nobody whom
the peoplewould. sooner trust in such {
case than the supreme judges That
was what happened at the Tilden- -Haye.
