The Attack Upon the judiciary.

"The occasion for these remarks is the
attack upon our judiciary and the pro,
posal by judicial recall, or recall OF ju-
dicial decisions, to destroy its indepen-
dence. and thus to take away from the
arch of government the keystone. deny
that there is in the decisions Of the
courts, or the character of the judges,
or the result of litigation that which
iustifies such radical innovation. | am
not unmindful of the necessity for iu-
dicial reform but that depends not upon
changing the character of the judges,
but upon the change of procedure, the
expedition of judgments and the reduc-
ton of the expense of litigation.
"0ne can easily discover tendency
in modern politics to eXalt above the
written law and above the written CON
stitution what is called popular will
as if that were higher law to which
we must all admit allegiance by obeying
it, and ignore or transgress statutory
and constitutional limitations.
"This heresy is not stated exactly in
the form Of an assertion that judge and
others are to ignore statutes and con-
stitutions because OF conflicting popu-
lar will. but It is in the more insidous
proposition that plain construction of
the constitution il to be defeated and
a strained and otherwise impossible con-
struction put upon the language Of the
statute or constitution in Difference to
what is supposed to be the popular
will"

cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him n
live. The logic of this is equaled by
that of the Yankee soldier who once
had a narrow escape from an enraged
gander. The men of a certain Name
regiment. which was in the enemys
country in 1862, considered the q
mo foraging" an additional and IN
called-for hardship. One afternoon
about dusk, a soldier was seen beat
ing a rapid retreat from the rear OF a
farmhouse near by, closely pursued
by a gander with wings ou%tspread.
whose feet seemed scarcely to touch
the ground, and from whose beak Is
Eued a succession of angry screams.
The fugitive was not treasured by the
cries of the gander's owner: Hold
on, man, hold on! He won't hurt
you!" Call off your gander! Call
him oft" shouted the fleeing soldier.
Neither man nor gander stopped IN
til inside the camplines, when the sol
dier's friends relieved him OF his
fierce pursuer with the aid of the butt
of q musket. did that gander think
he could chase me like that and
live!" the soldier exclaimed, as he
surveyed the outstretched bird; but
he said nothing OF the baited hook,
with codline attached, which might
have thrown light on the unfortunate
gander's strange actions.

BABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores we're over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before l could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. | think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"
(Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson,
Mont, Jan. %, 1911. Although Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment are sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere, a

Mr.. Taft,s TWO Failures.

President Taft calls for legislation
on the cotton tariff rates, in accord
ance with the recommendations OF
his tariff board.
When the Aldrich-Payne bill was
passed, Mr.. Taft had the best sort Of
opportunity to bring about the condi-
lions he now advises by vetoing the
measure and demanding proper rates.
Again, he was given a chance to Sc
cure results he now recommends when
the house passed the cotton SEIZED
ules bill, last summer-a bill substan.
TALLY in accord with the present board
plan.
Having failed twice to avail himself
of the opportunity to eecure just the
conditions he now seeks to have adopt
ed, the president has no occasion fol-
surprise in failure Of congress tc
make special haste in following his
present recommendations.

ANYTHING TO CATCH VOTES
Roosevelt's Present Attitude In
Marked Contrast to Expressed
Sentiment. Last Summer.

Explanation of Mr.. R%oosevelt's
seeming strength In northern New
England is found in his present atti-
tude of opposition to Canadian reci-
procity-the farmers in that section
having become scared by fear Of com
petition Of their dominion neighbors.
1t is interesting, in this connection,
to note that no longer ago than last
SIMMER Mr.. Roosevelt heartily in
dorsed the reciprocity plans. Now,
however, he appeals for support of the
border farmers on the ground that
their interests should not be sacri-
feed by legislation.
Lowell once remarked that some
men can lifelong sentiments extern
porize." Hope for a third term is q
powe -ful incentive toward such extern.

UNITED PARTY TO FACE FOE
Democrats In Agreement on All the
Main Issues That Will Come
Before the Country.

Governor harmon O Ohio stated no
more or less than the truth when he
said at Omaha:
There is no sound reason for seri-
GUS disagreement among Democrats.
The wishes and ambitions OF individu-
ais have not a feathers weight COM
pared with the interests Of the party
and its bright prospects. There are no
present vital national questions on
which all Democrats do not substan-
TALLY agree, and we shall not attract
the confidence of the country by let
ting such differences as there may be
about other matters mar the party
harmony"
The Democrats Of the country are
united on the general issue OF tariff
reduction. They are united, with rare
exceptions, on specific measures Of
tariff reduction as passed by the Dem
ocratic house.
They are united against trust mo-
nopoly and for trade regulation by
competition.
They are united in favor Of an in
come tax and placing a part OF the fed
eral expense burden on wealth.
They are united for the popular
election of United States senators, for
publicity In campaign expenditures
before elections, for less extravaganza
in government, for relief of the people
from the growing costs of public adj
ministratie /.
Democrats like Cove. nor Harmon
and MI. Bryan disagree about such
innovations as the initiative, referen-
dunn and recall, but they are agreed
that these have no part in a national
platform.
Not before in twenty years, not be-
fore since Cleveland's last election to
the presidency, has the party been in
such accord on the great public issues
of the day.-New York World.

TRUST MAGNATES BUSY
MEN WHO ARE FINANCING CAM
PAIGN OF THIRD TERMER."
Recently Published Report Makes In
terestins Reading for Those Who
Have Regarded Roosevelt as "a.
Enemy of M%onopolies.

At last we have some light on the
lost Of the Roosevelt campaign. The
Roosevelt league has just filed with
the New York secretary OF state its
report of money spent in New York
city alone in connection with the cleo
ton OF delegates. This campaign cost
S59,125.75 That seems large. But
then the Roosevelt people have plenty
of money. There r no official re-
ports Of expenditures in other com
munities, but if the pace set in New
York is maintained the total cost OF
the campaign to date must be very
great. It has been said that Boss Finn
of Pittsburg had more than two hun
bred thousand dollars at his disposal.
1t is certain that he had all he needed.
OF the $4,000 spent in New York
city, $4,000 was given by George W
Perkins, Frank A. Munsey and Alex
ander Coehran-$15,0 900 by each. MIR.
Perkins is chiefly known to fame as q
director of the steel trust and the or
ganizer of the harvester trust. MT
Munsey is said to be the largest indi
vidual holder of the common stock Of
the steel trust. Yet these two mel
gave more than half Of the large
amount spent in New York city dur
ing the late campaign in behalf OF the
man who is supposed to represent the
people in a special and peculiar sense
the man who has declared his hostii
ity to the ''swells'' whom he has char
acterized as silk stockings"
And it is necessary to spend all this
none to get a nomination which the
people are supposed to- be thrustine
on him. Even popular uprisings ant
Overwhelming demands" must, !
seems, be literally financed. We trust
that those VINO still think OF Theodore
Roosevelt as a tre-breathing trust
buster will note the fact that 1t is the
Roosevelt league which has published
to the world the muniticence OF Per
kins and Munsey. But then 1t was
never difficult for Mr.. Roosevelt to ge
money for political purposes. Harri

Facade of Government Buildings.

Its agricultural possibilities he rates
as low, but there Is good pasture for
cattle. The meat trade, however, is
not organized at all. Vladivostok,
close by, gets its supplies in cold stor-
age from Australia.
Coal is probably the best Of its as
certained properties. He believes
that there are at least ten million
pools of it in the island. 1t would
find a good market In the western
states Of America, besides in Japan.
Deep borings are now In progress for
naphtha, which is in as good position
as the Baku wells and should be able
to compete with American petroleum
in east Asia. Gold prospecting has
not had success. There Is a great
supply of timber, Of which no use
was made until in 1906 a firm began
to export railway sleepers.
The population, which a dozen years
ago consisted of 10000 Russian deport-
ed ~convicts, and about half as many
free persons, sank to about 5000 after
the Japanese war. The convicts had
got their liberty OF condition they
volunteer for the war. Russians
sold their houses for next to nothing.
A whole village was left to caretakers
for 80 rubles. Last year the ex-con-
victs who had served In the war and
returned were declared free peasants
and settled zeal Alexandrovsk, the
seat Of government.
Sakhalin's weak side, as M. Polovoy
found it, is in its cut off condition, not
so much geographically as through
want Of steam navigation. Moreover,
the coasting trade is closed against
foreign shipping. There are very few
roads into the interior, Eel the roads
prospected by the Russian prisons de-
partment have fallen back into waste.
Harbors are scarcely to be found at
all. Labor is unskilled and there Is
10 as%certainable general rate Of
wages. Evidently the plantlessness
that has hitherto marked the admins
tration of the important cork of the
Amur' will need to be changed If its
great coal and lumber our are

pretends to be fighting for the people,
and yet he is making a pr~e-convention
campaign, the like Of which was never
seer In this country. 1t is said that
already a million dollars has been
spent in his behalf. No one has de-
MED that Perkins, the steel trust and
the harvester trust, are furnishing a
large part of the money that is being
used to foist this man on the people.
And this will be remembered at the
polls, If 1t becomes necessary.
