DAIRY MEETING
GREAT SUCCESS

i feel that the recent convention
Of the North Dakota Dairymen's assoc
citation at Mandan was one of the best
the association has ever held said
A. A Kollmorgan of Devils Lake, vice
president Of the organization, to a
Forum representative today on his
way home, from the Morton county
seat.
Much was accomplished at the con-
vention this year and the interest that
was taken by the townspeople was
quite unusual. There were a number
of speakers of wide repute present and
each presented many valuable ideas
that win be of great service to the
dairymen during the coming year.
Talks were given by such prominent
men in the dairymen's world as f. ID.
Currier, secretary of the Minnesota
Dairymen's association, A. K. Riser,
the federal dairyman at Colorado
Springs, O. A. Storvick, the federal
creamery expert at Albert Lea, Mimi,
Prof. Thomas Shaw, associate editor
of The Dakota Farmer and Joel ).
Winkjer, dairy and food commissioners
of Minnesota.
One of the things which was cons
nented pom very favorably was Mad
sen & K~ollmorgan's sanitary cream
can which was displayed during the
convention"

Series Of Crimes in Month
Causes CONSERVATION

New York, n. X, Feb. 1.-THE police
dragnet thrown over the city, so far
has failed to trap the gangs of auto
mobile highwaymen who have, within
a week, blackjacked their victims In
the open streets and made away with
booty aggregating many thousands Of
dollars.
The series of %robberies, holdups and
murders within the last month has
caused general CONSERVATION in the
police department and Police Commits
sioner Waldo has summoned back to
detective work all the old time sieuths,
who some time ago were transferred
to patrol duty. The police are alb
soIutely without a clew in the hold-up
last night Of George North. a diamond
dealer, who was blackjacked and rob-
bed Of unset diamonds valued at $780,
900 on West Thirty fifth street while
scores Of persons were passing along
the thoroughfare. The robbers escap-
ed in an automobile.

people, the attorney general continued:
"A state constitution should be chang
ed only through the active consent OF
a clear majority If the whole people
because no stable condition of civil
Zation can result from a government
subject to constant fluctuations in
it's fundamental structure based upon
the shifting sands Of temporary i'm
preston, rather than upon the broad
firm foundation of natured convic-
ton
There has been much nonsense
talked of late said Mr.. Wickersham,
about the so-called u"surpation of pow
er by the federal judiciary in pro-
nouncing laws of state legislatures or
congress unconstitutional and there
fore void"
When the federal constitution was
under discussion and before it's adop-
ton, he added. it was clearly pointed
out that the power conferred upon
the courts did not suppose a superb
GRITTY of the judiciary to the legisla-
tive power; it only supposes that the
power Of the people is superior to
both; and hat where the will of the
Legislature, declared in it's statutes,
stands in opposition to that of the
people, declared in the constitution,
the judges out to be governed Ly the
latter rather than the former.
Even. more i~nsensate,' continued the
attorney general, lis the clamor
against the courts for interpreting
statutes in the light of their under
standing as educated men learned in
the law. The English language is
not an exact medium for communicate
ing thought. When the rights of liti-
giants depend Upon the provisions of
statutes it is the duty Of the courts
to construe them and to construe
them in the light of reason"
There has been a growing discon-
tent with legislative bodies all over
the land, MIR. Wickersham declared.
State legislatures and municipal
councils" he said, have been found in
many instances to be corrupt and in
efficient. I am in entire sym thy
with the reasons which have led to
the enactment of laws providing for
the nomination of candidates for Of
flee by direct popular election, a pur-
pose with which all honest men must
sympathize, lose sight Of other con-
s~iderations which are perhaps OF equal
Importance. The function Of law
making ought to attract the highest
talent and the most disinterested
character, but systems whereby laws
are to be made by postal card and
popular petition, tend to so destroy
the dignity of the legislative office as
to make 1t unattractive even to those
who might otherwise subject them
selves to the scramble of a primary
contest for the nomination in order to
reach a field of public usefulness"
The attorney general urged bust
ness to cooperate with lawyers in
solving methods by which the laws
delays may be minimized in settling
the ordinary controversies that arise
in the course of business.

that evening and arrived in Rochester
yesterday morning only to learn that
