AS an incident Of the passing show,
the accusing Of the governor OF crimi-
nal libel is Of more than ordinary IN
terest 1T also shows how the law all
ready marks the boundaries between
private privilege and public wrong.
For generations, the law has provided
such remedies, and it did not take a
Legislature Of high proved reformers
to sift out the evidence. :
Whether Carroll or Cownie be right
or wrong. the event proves that an
cient wisdom yet prevails. "Oh. that
mine enemy would write q book" is as
apt, today, as 1t was when the poet
perNed 1t. He who writes, whether it
be libels, love letters, or merely editor
ial dope" is bound by his record; and
our excellent governor is no exception
to the rule.
From the whole affair. we may draw
two lessons The first one Is that the
present laws are adequate for the cor
rection Of abuses. needing no special
lists to frame up more drastic rules OF
procedure The second lesson Is that
there are bounds even to partisan and
factional abuse.

KEEP YOUR PLANES LEVEL.

When the aviator rises high enough
to lose sight Of the earth an appalling
danger confronts him. He loses the
sense of perpendic ular. In fact he does
not know how to set his planes at the
correct angle because floating like a
wisp of cloud among the clouds he has
nothing whereby to draw angles from.
The danger is that he may set them
to dive directly toward the earth. OF
course after the dive began he might
realize it but that would be too late.
The loss of the sense Of perpendicu-
lar isn't new thing or confined to
aviation. The youth or man. girl or
woman, who flies high faces the same
danger. When one sails high enough
from moral, spiritual and legal angles
are calculated there is always the
danger of setting the planes for dis
astrous dive. And once started few
escape the shock.
The boy who finds he cannot exist
happily without money to spend for
pool; the girl whose waking and sleeping
moments are occupied with dreams OF
fine clothes she can not buy; the clerk
whose salary runs short of his ex-
penses; the business man who forgets
his business in his taste for high life; y
the married woman whose craze for adj
rniration leads to goo-g eyes on the
street, have lost their sense of perpen
dcular. Something is going to drop
pretty soon.
1t doesn't make much difference afoot
or on horseback, in an aeroplane or an
automobile, when the sense Of perpen-
dicular goes the rest goes with it. The
farther you lean the sooner you fall.
Don't fly too high and keep your planes
level.

1R,CKERy AND The PRIMARY.

Among the latest carnations from
the standpat ferment is the story
started by some one. it doesn't matter
much who and given circulation by the
standpat press TO the effect that the
date OF the statewide primary was set
in order to so far as possible "disfran-
chise" the farmers. Senator Smith exc
plodes the lie by a statement. But the
statement itself is really unnecessary.
Nobody with common sense believed ii
in the beginni ing and it has been given
circulation merely as part of the des-
perate effort which is making toward
a possibility that the primary may be
sufficiently monkeyed with to afford
the System" in Iowa chance to con-
troll again everything from nominations
to legislation.
One of the astonishing things about
the standpat crowd is that it never
gives the farmer credit for ordinary
common sense and modicum of gen.
eral knowledge and Judgment. II any
where the statewide primary Is strong
er than elsewhere it is among the
farmers. 1t is strong everywhere
gives one vote equal weight with an
other, but it is most appreciated and
will be fought for hardest by the farm
ers. The man from the farm, more
than any ohter. wants his vote to count
and he knows that under the primary
it must be counted, not only in his
township, but at Des Moines.
Right there is the thorn that gals
the corporation gang. The common
voter can not be eliminated under the
primary. With the knowledge that his
vote makes or unmakes he finds great
er interest in men and measures, and
uses the vote which he knows shall
certainly count for or against men
and issues with that certainty in mind.
The common voter comes to his sover-
eighty under the primary system. He
will incline to keep it even tho at
times he neglects to use 1t,
The primary law is in no serious
danger unless the common voter per-
mits his ma tural supineness and neg
lect of privilege to allow men to steal
into office against his Will and thru
his neglect There is desperate effort

Such 10 tho Reported Finding Of Spe-
oiai Government Inquiry.
Washington. July ga special dis
patch from Washington to the Brook
Ign Eagle gives what are purported to
be the conclusions in the government
inquiry into the lumber business. COM
monty known as the lumber trust
Investigation. which has been in pro-
gress several years.
Give points will be covered In the
report" the Eagle says. "as follows:
"First-The great bulk Of the re-
naming standing timber Is owned by
comparatively few men and corpora
tons.
"Second-Prices for the retail trade
are regulated by central bodies and
the rates sent to the dealers.
''Third-The consumption Is three
times as fast as the new growth.
"Fourth-This accounts In part for
the increased price.
"Fifth-Whether secret agreement
exists between the owners of the large
tracts of standing timber or not Is not
known"
Continuing, the article says:
The forthcoming report will show
that Fred erick Weyerhauser owns more
lumber than any other man In the
country. 1t will not be so specific as
to whether Mr. Weyerhauser has an
understanding with other lumber mag
mates regarding the amount Of lumber
to be cut each year. the price and
other details which are usually consid-
|ered in determining whether there Is
a conspiracy in restraint OF trade under
the Sherman law.
agents Of the bureau OF corpora
lions have been unable to produce any
direct evidence that the ti1nber trade
is controlled by a trust. It appear.
rather that there are q great many
ismall trusts.
"The bureau has given some atten-
ton to the operation OF the lumber
mems association. This body sends
out price lists for retailers. The charg'
vas made IN congress that these list
regulate the prices. and that those who
disregard them and undersell are
blacklisted by the trust. II this Is the
fact, the government agents have beel
unable to get the evidence necessar!
to prove IT"
Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
OF corporations. under whose direction
the inquiry has been made, would moi
confirm any part of the statement con-
tanned above, except as to the fact that
the lumber cut is three times the
growth.
Mr.. Smith would neither confirm mol
deny the statements relative to tn
control Of the lumber business by loca
organizations.
II expect to have the report read:
soon but can not set a date for It, Al
I can sag about It Is that it might b
ready within few weeks. certainly be-
