NUMBER Of Saloons
May Be CUT Down

San Antonio, Texas. April 27.-State
Comptroller w. P. Lane. believing that
there are more saloons III Bexar county
than the law allowws, has signi6ed his
intention of visiting San Antonio and
looking up carefully every saloon in this
city and county to ascertain whether or
not county clerk Frank R. Newton has
certified to the right number. Mr.. Lane,
so it is said, claims there are 100 more
saloons in this county than are al
lowed by law. Since there are 33l sa-
looms in Bexar county, it will be seen
at once that Mr.. Lane will have a big
job on his hands. If it should tran
pire, as it probably will, that at every
saloon visited the proprietor offers to
set 'em up, Mr. Lanes thirst will be
Stacked for the next six months. Coun-
ty clerk Newton is quite positive that
this city and county have no more sa-
looms than the law permits. But for
some reason Comptroller Lane believes

fARMES SHOULD CAREFULLY
SPRAY THEIR FLAX SEED

Realizing that farmers will not rcgu-
larly treat their flax seed unless they
are able to procure the proper spray cans
for doing the work, and realizing that
very few local agents for spray cans are
established i'll the state, | have address,
ed the following letter to a number of
the leading wholesale hardware dealers
and wholesale druggists and have also
sent similar letter to number of the
Sprayer manufacturing companies.
The farmer is apt to buy tool which
he knows he needs when he sees it. He
is not apt to send long distance away
for it. However this may be, the North4
west cannot expect to succeed in rails
ing flax unless the farmers procure the
right kind of sprayers for proper dis
infection of flax seed The business
men of this state owe it to their own
interests to see that the farmers have op-
portunity to purchase suitable sprayers
for this work.
Gentlemen: I have been working
with the manufacturers of spraying ma
chinery to get them to locate agencies
for the compressed air, three-gallon,
brass sprayers in all towns of North Da-
kota. | have met with very little Sue
cess. They seem to think that if a
farmer wants thing like spray can
he will write five or six hundred miles
for it and that he will always be for
handed enough to write long enough
ahead to be sure of getting one before
spraying time comes. The reason
have taken marked interest in this
is that unless the farmers of North Da-
kota and the Northwest very generally
disinfect the seed of fax before sowing,
this crop is going to be lost to the
Northwest. 1t is going to disappear be-
cause of the introduction of root d.
seases with the undisinfected seed.
Il am writing to you because l am in
formed that you, as jobbers, handle
such machines. Flax seed can only be
treated by the use of such spray cans
and the season whwen the treatment can
be conducted is just few days preced-
ing sowing time, and unless farmer is
able to find these spray cans in his local
town he is II OF apt to send for them. l
believe you men are interested in this
matter of saving so important crop
as the flax crop to the Northwest and
will do everything you can to bring
about reasonable Use of these very i'm
portant implements on the farm. They
can be used not only for disinfecting all
seed grain but for many other purposes
We have many calls for them and the
only place l have been able to refer the
people to is direct to.the manufacturers.
Il would like very much if you will
give me list of any local agencies
which yyou have established for such
spray cans in North Dakota.
Caution: The successful use of the
spray in disinfecting seed grain, and es-
pecially fax, depends upon whether
there is a good force pump, extension
rod and automatic hand cutoff so that
the user can cut off the spray at will
without losing the pressure in the can.
IF you will notify me of your local
agents throughout the state will be !

Justice Harlan says in this case
the court has done what some big
business has begged the court to
do ever since 1895, and In doing
SO has Numerically reversed three
of its previous decisions on this
statute. The fact that Senator
Joe Bailey of Texas approves the

WASHINGTON, d. c., May IT.
The supreme court has set it.
self as q legislative body superior
to congress. The people no longer
make their laws. This is the
meaning of the Standard Oil deci-
sion. Justice Harlan has summed
It up in these words:
"The opinion means that the
courts may by mere judicial con-
etruction amend the legislation OF
the United States and amend the
statutory laws"
The supreme court has amended
the Sherman antitrust law, by
writing in the word reasonable. u
That word converts the law into
India rubber. 1t substitutes the
opinion of the Judge for the pro-
hibition of the statute, 1t replaces
the rule of law by the rule of men
judges. Justice Harlan says the
decision is. due to the power OF
wealth and is made to favor
the wealthy.
Human lives, he says, and mere
men do not receive any such con
sideration at the hands of ouI
supreme court.
Justice Harlan exposes the
startling fact that the supreme
court is itself unconstitutional
that it has usurped power not be
longing to 1t. Says Justice Har
Ian:
"If the law as written is to bt

their courts, the justice says fur

tutions are concerned, is the tend

ATTACKS JUSTICES

The court now appears to give
the law to the people and immu-
nifty to the trusts. The court,
through the majority of its mem
bers, arrogates to itself the func-
tion of legislating as was clearly
shown in the biting criticism of
Justice Harlan's separate opinion.
The Standard Oil can now go
through the form of reorganiz-
ing and then, on the plea that Il
Is operating only in reasonable
