In q recent editorial we stated
that in view Of the fact, that the
laws enacted by the state legisla.
lures or by congress are subject to
annullment by the state or federal
supreme courts, in their respective
jurisdiction, on the question OF
conformance with the constitution,
it would seem that good sense
would have this question settled
before the law was passed, and the
people who demand certain legis-
lation to be made effective as stat
utory law could then feel secnre in
knowing that these laws were in
effect and enforceable. Now it
seems that Governor Deneen of
Illinois, weary Of trying to get a
primary election law passed that
the supreme court of that state
would not knock out on constitu-
tional grounds, mas asked the court
to frame a primary law that would
stand the courts scrutiny, and the
legislature could deal with it in
that form. But the court will un-
doubtedly sidestep the issue, it
would not be good business, how.
ever much good sense it might
show to comply with the Cover.
nor's request. If the constitution
ality of legislation were settled in
advance of enactment it would stop
a large and profitable employment
of the legal fraternity, and Judges,
supreme or petty, were once law
yers, and doubtless look to the
welfare of their fraternity quite as
much as they do the interests of
the people. Directness is some
thing our judicial machinery will
not stand for; but it should be re-
membered that the courts are the
creatures of the people and the lat
ter may some day get aweary,
aweary of legal ethics.

"Not q Cent Lost. -

More than passing notice might
well be given to the annual report
of Charles H. Treat, the retiring
treasurer of the United States. No
bureau in any department hae
weightier responsibilities than the
Office of the treasurer. 1t handles
revenues and makes expenditures
averaging probably $3.50, ,000, 900 a
year. Transactions in public debt
matters in receipts alone have in
recent years ran as high a $9O9,.

Besides this the cash in the
vaults averages 5000, 900. 900 or
more. In fact, available cash bal :
ances often come nearer being
$40O, 900, 900. The treasurer holds
probably $3.50, 100000 of bonds
for national banks which have is.
sued currency against them. He
has public deposits in some 1900
national bank depositaries, which
money is secured by pledged bonds
of say $l60,000,000. Yet all Of
this vast machinery is so correlated
that in handling billions of dollars
a year not a cent of public money
is lost.

Convictions in Sugar Trust Cases

Last nights verdict in the case

frauds in New York is. apparent.
~, victory for the Government,
though the failure to convict Ben
dernagel is more significant than
the successful effort to obtain a
verdict against the other Eve men
on trial.
Bendernagel, though not an ex-
ecutive officer in the offending
company, occupied a much more
responsible position than those held
by either of the four men who
were convicted, who included a
dock superintendent and three
checkers. Bendernagel's position
was such that it brought him into
closer contact with the men higher
up in the corporation, and he was
probably in their confidence to a
considerable extent.
It has always been comparative.
" easy to convict the tool; the
master welding the tool, and de.
riving the major part of the bene-
fits from the derelictions of the
man beneath, has too often been
spared. That this can be brought
about because of the superior
shrewdness of men in power is a
poor commentary upon the laws
ability to arrive at just decisions.
