One thing, however, we do know
about Lord Kelvin is this: that he

Gov. Chester II. Aldrich of Ne

Conference of Governors at Spring
Lake, N. j. reviewed the history
of Court decisions and rulings Of
Commissions and Courts of infe-
rior jurisdiction, curtailing the
power Of stated to manage their

his speech as follows:
g know not what other states

for my own state and say that she
demands the right and the privi-
lege TO be allowed TO do the
things which her sovereignty, her
independence and her liberty
says she may do.
60 say that my state will not
only insist but it will carry for
ward, at any and all hazards its
inherent governmental functions
and in doing this it stands in line
with an unbroken chain of decis-
ions coming down from the high
est judicial body in the land, from
the earliest day to the present.
at will respect courts and the
court decisions. But as a cOndi-
tion precedent to all this, it de-
mands that court opinions stay
within well marked lines and re-
spect the sovereign power of the
states in the regulation and con-
troll of their own purely internal
commerce.
At all times it asks the courts
to do homage to the scheme of re-
preventative government and let
the courts remember that tyranny
clothed in the garb of Judicial
ermine has features as hideous as
though in the hands of a Car.

CESS
LET EVERY BODY DO A LITTLE
Cannot Afford to Fail to Be
Shown at the Dallas Fair
This Fall

Scurry county is better mater
ial condition this year than for
a long time.
We should not fail to take al.
vantage Of this fact. We should
must get up a creditable exhibit
for the Dallas Fair. The stuff
has been grown and is now ready
for the display. 1t would show
us up as a slothful people, if we
fail in this matter.
1t is suggested that it is now
too late to undertake county
fair, but we can easily get up a
collection of products that will
open the eyes of Fair visitors
and will cause thousands of home
seekers to come to the favored
West TO locate.
We have the edges on Central
Texas this year and other Wes-
tern counties will have exhibits
at the Fair and Scurry county
must not fail to be there with
the goods.
It will take some money to pay
the expenses of an exhibit and it
is suggested that hustling COM
mittee should get out and collect
the necessary funds. We must
not send a man to Dallas handi-
capped for funds as Mr.. Gross
was last year. 1t will not take a
great amount, but the man in
charge should have enough mon
ey to make respectable show
ing and get out such dodgers as
other people will have on the
grounds.
Every man and woman who
goes to the Fair from Scurry
county should be supplied before
leaving home with cards, leaflets
and boosting matter so as to leave
no doubt about their faith in their
home county.
Let us get ready for it and the
results are sure.

fashion that the charges ON food com
