The state board of control has
awarded its potato contracts for the
state institutions at prices varying
from As cents to GA cents per bushel.
The average price is 60 cents per
bushel delivered at the state insti-
buttons. This means that the seller
of the potatoes pays all the freight
rates from the growing place to the
state institutions. Three of the in
stitutions, buying from local dealers,
get rates from 40 cents to So cents,
while the other institutions get the
go cent rate. The number of bushels
for each institution is as follows:
Deaf and Dumb College, Council
Bluffs, 500 bushels; Feeble Minded
College, Glenwood, 5000 bushels
Insane Hospital, Independence, 1900
bushels; Girls Industrial School,
Mitchellville, 1000 bushels; Insane
Hospital, Mt. Pleasant, 5000
bushels.

have, we believe, not gone farther
than to issue order restraining strik-
'ers from the destruction of property.
But to frame an order that require
the men to go back to their work and
the company to take them back. until
the points at issue could be deter
mined, comes about as near the part
of a dictator as could easily be done.
But the end appears to have JUS

important single factor in bringing
about the settlement.
But, after all, was that such an en-
sraordinarily arbitrary action for the
court to take? Surely it was not
more d%ictatorial thar it is for a court
to disregard the real merits of a con-
troversy and decide the case upon an
insignificant technicality. The Amer
lean public will never denounce the
courts for following the broad lines
of justice. even if they do ride over
technical obstacles. The public is
not so much interested in the letter
OF the law as in the spirit of the
courts. And, sooner or later. the
public will have it's way in this as in
all other matters. If the courts wish
20 be so defiant of public sentiment
as to force the people to adopt the
judicial recall in self defence, the
courts themselves must bear the
blame. or this one thing we may be
sure, however, that the scope of
American Jurisprudence must be en-
'arged Or else the people will them
selves take over the right of review
