A WISE JURIsT

Judge Chas. f. Amindon, of the
Utited States district court, at Far
go, n. D., is quoted as saying:
PUT the people in direct control of
government, give them primary re-
form, the initiative, referendum, re-
call, and their legislation will repre-
sent the passing passions, prejudices
and fears of the people. Then the
courts (human mem will have to de-
clare many more laws unconstitu-
tional.
OF course the learned Judge hasn t
thought that when the people do getin
direct control of their government
they will fix it up so that courts will
be dipping out law from the living
peoples bucket and not from that
mixed ~ over 100 years ago by peo-
pie who entertained the idea that the
United States never wauld expand be-
yond the Appalachian mountains.
1t will be no trick ut all, judge, for
the people to suit the constitution to
the people, and not, as at present,
try to make the people fit the consti-
tuition.

DEADLOCK POLITICS

Several state legislatures are in a
tangle over senatorial and other
questions and in many eases the pow
er to act is tied up to an extent yet
to be determined. The democratic
party has cultivated alliances with
insurgents in the opposite party and
need not Imagine that the precedents
made will not effect its own affairs
Yet there has been no change in the
attitude of the people. They look to
majorities for action and to platforms
for pledges as to what the action
shall be. II party promises are not
fulfilled bad faith is undeniable, and
if majorities can not or will not cake
a positive course the result is distinct
ly a disappointment to voters. To a
few theorlzers party Reorganization
is desirable, but it is working major
tiles that do things, and not un~
til confusion is cleared up can the
course of public business proceed in
rational and effective way.
The next congress will be dead
locked between tive parties. and even
the present congress, with large re-
publican majority in both branches,
is hampered by a disposition to ignore
the party lines that were definite
enough when the members went be-
fore their constituencies for election.
This situation has been promoted by
the democratic leaders. They claim
to have come back by this route. But
what of their own party purposes
! cancuses and agreements? Are the
binding obligations to be theirs ex-
clusively? DeadIocks are not tine
maximum good of political science
They plague the inventors as we'll as
those who believe in sensible con
structiye legislation.

1t was the invention of the seis-
;i2osfaph fer the study Of earthquakes
that led to the discovery of the aston
ishing sensitiveness of the crust of
the globe to forces that might have
been thought too insignificant to
cause distortion. Among these forces
is the alteration in the pressure of
the atmosphere during the passage of
storms, causing a perceptible fitting
of large areas of ground. A curious
case of such fitting has been recorded
in Japan. a storm passing over the
sea east of Tokyo caused the border
ing land to tilt downward, notwith-
standing the fact that the sea rises
with release of atmospheric pressure.

Just why the members Of the South
Dakota legislature endorsed New
Orleans as the site for the Panama
exposition in 1915 nobody appears to
know. There may be arguments in
favor of New Orleans as the site for
the exposition, but none that appeal
to South Dakotans. San Francisco,
by reason of it's location, is the site
of most probable benefit to South
Dakota. The railroads which cross
South Dakota are headed eastward,
rather than toward the gulf. With
the exposition at San Francisco, hum
dreds of thousands of people from
the eastern states would pass through
South Dakota bound for the exposi-
ton city. Some of them would stop
