The arbitration treaties between the
United States, France and England
mark a great step forward In the
movement toward universal peace.
Not being familiar with the provisions
n detail, We express no opinion as to
he merits of these particular treaties,
out the principle of arbitration is I'M
leniably the correct one to adopt. In
this enlightened age there should be no
occasion so grave as to require war
between civilized peoples. Still, as
Roosevelt has pointed out, there are
limits to the principle. There are
some matters which a self respecting
nation could not safely submit to
arbitration. 1t might be dangerous
for republic to bind itself to submit
to court of arbitration controlled by
monarchies. Suppose another case
similar to the Cuban situation present
ed itself, or suppose European mon
archy should try to subjugate an Am
erican republic, do you think Uucle
Sam would submit to an arbitration by
representatives of monarchy? Not I'M
less the American spirit, the spirit that
established and developed this republic,
has been utterly dissipated. The ar
bitration of all matters involving
merely property is practical and de-
sirable but it would never do to arbi-
trate matters vital to the existence,
honor or self respect of the nation.
If those deeper interests are properly
protected in the pending treaties, let
US hope they will be promptly ratified,
otherwise they should be as promptly
rejected.

go away back and sit down. The old
fashioned graft that used to be good
here at the New Richmond fair and
almost all other fairs In the country is
a thing of the past. In years agone,
old decrepit, be-spavined straw-burners
used to be sent around the track and
as rule they finished in one-two- three
order just as had been arranged in the
barns before they came out. The own
ers were paid real money for the per-
Torrance. 1t was the biggest sort of
a swindle. Everybody knew it, and
also everybody stood for it. But there
is nothing doing now. The state re-
fuses to pay any portion of the easy
money, and most all of the fairs are
cutting it out entirely. The racing at
the Viroqua fair this year will be con-
fined to local green horses. The Viola
fair management has followed suit,
and that will be the order also at Gays
Mills. New Richmond News Voice.

the common people, the mob, cannot
be trusted; they are ignorant and
swayed by passion; a select few, wiser
and better than the common horde
should possess the power to benev-
olently rule the masses. In despera-
ton the president resorts to argu-
ments that have been rejected by
thinking classes of all nations for a
century.
We are not herein defending the re-
call provision of the Arizona constitu-
ton. 1t seems rather stringent,
allowing recall vote on petition of Is
per cent of the voters, and at any
time after the judge has been in Office
six months. That, however, is a mat
ter of detail for the people of Arizona
to settle for themselves. The point is
that Taft is assuming too much of the
divine power he refers to in overriding
the expressed will of the people of
Arizona on purely local question, not
conflicting in any way with the federal
constitution or laws, and which had
received the approval of majority in
Congress. He assumes to know what
Arizona needs better than the people
of Arizona and Congress combined.

The office of county supervisor OF

The office of county supervisor of
assessments, which has been very
much discussed and 'cussed" by the
county boards throughout the state,
will cease after January LIST, 1912, and
the duties will devolve upon the dis
trict assessors of incomes. Under the
income tax law the tax commission
will divide the state into districts and
appoint an assessor of incomes for each
district. No restriction is placed on
the number or size of districts, but it
is provided that the salaries and eX-
penses Of the assessors, their deputies
and assistants shall not exceed five
cents for every thousand dollars of
assessed valuation of the property in
the state. This limitation makes it
likely that in the case Of counties of
smaller total valuation several counties
will be united in district.
Theoretically the county supervisor
of assessments filled a ''long-felt
want, but in actual practice it simply
meant an additional salary to pay an
an additional printing bill by reason of
the report he made to the county
board. He was supposed to supervise
the local assessors with a view to Sc
curing uniformity, and to secure such
data as would assist the county board
in equalizing the assessment between
the various towns, villages and cities
In practice no matter how carefully and
conscientiously the work of the super
visor was done, many of the local
assessors paid little attention to his
instructions, and the county boards
ignored his reports and proceeded in
the good old-fashioned way to fix upon
an Republication BY guess work and
trading of votes. The new system
may be more successful; anyhow, it
will be cheaper.

OPPORTUNITY FOR INSTRUC=
TION IN DAIRYiNG

So great has been the demand for
expert instruction in dairying at the
College of Agriculture of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin at Madison that the
dairy building has been over-crowded.
An addition to the building has recent
ly been built and better facilities are
now available. The students that have
finished the various dairy courses are
in big demand at good wages. A splen-
did circular has recently been issued
describing the courses and giving pic
lures of the dairy buildings and classes
at work. This can be secured free bv
addressing Prof. E. H. harrington,
College of Agriculture, Madison, Wis.
There are long courses, middle
courses and short courses offered to
those interested in either farm dairy
ing or factory work. Those who have
had some experience in either cream
cries or cheese factories can secure
instruction at the College which will
enable them to fill much better posi-
tons and secure higher salary.
This county has had the following
representative at the dairy school dur
ing the past year: Francis Buchholz of
Glen Flora.

Presumably you have duly, earnest
ly, zealously and conscientiously
swatted the fly. If you haven't done
your duty in that respect it has not
been because of lack of sufficient ad-
Duration on the part of newspapers and
public speakers. Never before has the
fly found himself the object of so per-
sistent and determined attack. He
has been swatted about as regularly as
Taft is swatted by the Insurgents, and
with about the same result; he has not
been extinguished but his power to do
evil has been materially lessened.
While there should be no let up in
the treatment of the fly, change of
season brings other duties There are
the ugly and obnoxious weeds that fill

ings and fences, and too often mar the
appearance of streets in the residence

fact that they monopolize space and
plant food that would otherwise yield
growth of valuable plants, but that
they actually poison the soil. 1t has
been found that many weeds in the
course of their growth give off matter
that is poisonous to other plants, and
it is common experience that crops
following a heavy growth of weeds do
not yield well, even though the weeds
are killed out Remember that it isn't
sufficient merely to keep the weeds
out of your garden and fields. If you
suffer few weeds on the border to
mature seed they will seed your whole
garden next year. The only satisfac-
tory method is to get after every head
that shows itself. Swat the weed.

Senator Bourne, of Oregon, has in
troduced bill providing that in all
cases involving the constitutionality of
law it shall require unanimous de-
cision to annul the law. This bill is,
of course, attacked by the Standpatters
as demagogic and anarchistic. Yet,
why this feverish perturbation? If
judges are made of such superior clay
as we are told, they must be ruled by
reason, and if so, they are bound to
reach unanimous decision. If their
immaculate purity is myth, why
should a mere majority of handful of
judges be allowed to override and de-
clare invalid a law passed through a
Congress of nearly 400 members? A
jury of farmers is required to reach a
unanimous agreement before it can
render a verdict; why not require the
same of judges, who are specially
trained for the work?

victory, yet you get no bigger or

VETO OF STATE
HOOD MEASURE

Taft's veto of the joint resolution
admitting Arizona and New Mexico to
statehood is put solely on the ground
that the provision in the Arizona con-
stitution giving power to recall judges
is highly Objectionable. He elaborate
ly reviews the matter of recall of
judges, and places himself squarely in
opposition to the principle. While ad-
hitting that the recall does not con-
travene any provision of the federal
constitution, and also that any state
after being admitted can adopt the re-
call if it sees fit, regardless of Con-
gress or President, he insists that the
people of Arizona do not know what
they want in the way of constitution.
and that benevolent and all wise ad
minlstration must prevent them from
getting headed the wrong way.
Admitting that legislative and ex-
ecutive officers should follow the will
of the people, he says the judges
should act Independent of and regard
less of that will. A recent event in
New York will show how ridiculous is
such a proposition The New York
legislature passed law limiting the
hours of labor in certain occupations.
In doing this, as Taft admits, they
should have and probably did carry
out the wishes of the people. If not.
the people are justified in ousting
them and electing men who will voice
the general sentiment. The supreme
court declared the law invalid, on the
ground that it interfered with prop
erty rights. Now, if, as Taft admits.
the people had right to choose a
Legislature that would pass this law,
why shouldn't they have had right to
insist that the courts keep their hands
off it after passed? And if they won't
keep their hands off, why haven't the
people right to change their judges?
TO put the matter briefly, the peo-
pie either directly or through legis-
latures make rules which we call laws:
it is the duty of the executive officers
to enforce the rules; in case of dispute
as to the meaning and application of
the rules, the judges interpret them.
If, as Taft admits, the people have a
right to make rules, why haven't thew
the right to insist that the rules be
interpreted according to the intent of
those who made them? AS a matter
of fact, it is settled rule of law that
in case of doubt as to meaning of
law, the intent of the makers is to
govern. Now, how can the people en-
force this right to have laws inter-
preted as they intend them except by
removing the judges who insist on
some other Interpretation?
The gist of Taft's argument is that
judges are made of superior clay, are
not swayed by passion and prejudice,
that they possess divine power of
and supernal justice, and
should therefore be made independent
of popular control He says that in
treating of courts ''we are dealing
with human institution that likens
itself to a divine institution because it
seeks and preserves JUSTICE This is
exactly the same argument that is
used to support monarchy, the mon
arch is presumed to rule with divine
power, to be the fountain head of JUS
Lice. In fact the veto message from
start to finish puts forth the old ar
yuments against popular government;
