FARMER AND THE STATE.

| Colorado is said to be the only west
ern state that has made the improve
ment of its public highways matter
of governmental concern. The ap-
pointment of state highway commits
sioners and of state engineers, with
out thorough state organization and
efficient methods for road supervi-
sion, does not accomplish satisfactory
results.
In Colorado the state does some
thing more than merely advise and
supervise. 1t aids and assists in an
organized and systematic way. The
result is that Colorado has miles and
miles of good highways that are
kept in good repair and that save the
farmers and teamsters many thou.
sands of dollars year in the reduced
cost of hauling and in the saving Of
wear and tear on teams and vehicles.
The national government looks after
the waterways and appropriates
money from the public treasury for
their improvement for navigation.
Millions of dollars are appropriated
by every congress for the deepening
of rivers and harbors, for opening
new channels, for improving seaports
and for lettering the condit 'ons of
water transportation. The state
keeps watchful eye on the railroads,
regulates their freight and passenger
tariffs and their general operation
and compel sthem to keep their road |
ways in good condition. In most |
states the farmers roadway, the |
transportation line, which is his chief
dependence, is matter of very little |
public concern. The tax paid by the
farmer for the support of government
goes largely into the building of fine
and handsome court houses and jails
in the capital cities, but not much of
it toward the construction of good
roads and keeping them in good re-
pair.
The farmer has hardly been treated
fairly by the state in the past, but
he is coming into his own gradually
and he will get more recognition from
the powers that be when be 1a5ikes up
his mind to demand it in VAN that
cannot be misunderstood and that
cannot go unheeded. The great trou.
BILE has been that the farmer has not
been alive to his own interest, has
been himself one of the chief OBJ
stacles to good roads in his neighbor
hood by showing disinclination to
help those who would help him, or at
least, more or less Indifferent in a
matter that should be regarded as of
prime Importance to him.
The farmer is at last beginning to
realize. the Importance and the econ
omy of good roads, and that means
that he is going to have them and it
means also that the state will help
him in his efforts when he demands
Of the state the consideration to
which he is entitled-San Antonio
Express.

GUARDING cHlLDREN's HEALTH.

Extract from the 1910 annual report
of Ebert W. Griffith, A. NJ, Phi. D.,

The physical well being of pupils

AN OFFENDED EDITOR.

Now, somebody has offended the
editor of the Denison Herald. Hear
him in this truth, a truth that often
comes home to every newspaper
worker:
Sometimes it happens that there
are occurrences in a community that
are not written up" in the local
paper. Enemies of the local paper
usually attribute this to the "influ-
ence" of someone interested in keep
ing the matter out of the paper or
to the papers being slow. AS mat
ter of fact it is the rarest thing in
the world that anything happens that
the local newspaper force does not
know all about. Influence" does not
keep anything out Of any newspaper
worthy of the name. In criminal mat
tiers the libel law frequently makes it
impossible to print things which
the public is entitled to know without
llsh VI having W llShI udHdSe SUITS,
and newspapers often figure that the
story is not worth the risk. News
which would only injure a town or
some individual without benefiting
anybody is usually left out of respon-
sible papers. 1t often happens that
most Industrious critic
is some beneficiary under the latter
policy, but knowing that gratitude is
more often the virtue of dogs than of
men the newspaper isn't surprised.

If Col. Bill Sterrett finds out the
truth about Mexico, and attempts to
write it from the Mexico side he will
land in Jail before the ink is cold on
the first installment. The trouble
with Col. Bill, and any of the others
who go down there looking for the
truth, is that they are not permitted
to find it. 1t takes some time, and
a close and intimate association with
the people of that country to find out
the truth. And not many Americans
are permitted such peep inside.

Verdict Of $4,000
Against United Hatters.
Sherman Law Protects Man.

Defendants will Garry Case to
United States Supreme Court.

Hartford, ct, Feb. "A new decla-
ration of independence is what At
torney Daniel Davenport Of Bridge
port called the verdict of 1922. 900 rem
dered today in the United States court
by the jury in the suit of d. Z. Loewe
of Danbury against 200 hat makers of
this state. After being out a little over
two hours the jury ordered actual dam
ages of $4,000 to the plaintiff but as
the suit was brought under the Sher-
man antitrust law, triple damages can
be recovered. There was a remarkab BILE
scene in the court room when the YER
dict was announced The defendants in
attendance We're stunned and groups
dejcctedly discussed the significance
of the blow.
A conference with the court followed,
at which it was decided to give the at
torneys for the defence a hearing on
March I when motion to set aside the
verdict on the ground of being excess
slVc, Will be argued. The assessment of
cost and the fees of the counsel will
also be determined. 1t is estimated that
the costs will amount to at least $4,000
and counsel fees may bring the bill
against the United Hatters of North
America to fully a quarter of million
dollars.
Asked regarding the moral signifi-
canoe of the verdict in the case, which
is the most important of it's kind ever
tried in this country, Attorney Daven-
port. senior counsel for the plaintiff,
said
First, it means that individual
members of labor unions are bound by
the actions of their officers and they
cannot allow them to do as they please.
Secondly, it means that the Sherman
anti-t trust law protects manufacturers
and merchants from boycott attacks,
In substance, it is new declaration
of independence"
A bill OF exceptions will be filed by
the defence and the case will be car
ried to the federal court Of appeals and
the United States supreme court
The suit, which was for s240. 900 dam
ages, has been on trial for II weeks. 1t
was Instituted by the Anti boycotte
Society through Mr.. Loewe, but it is
understood the damages awarded are
