IT seems that the Arkansas Supreme Court has fixed the new game law so that it can't do it's intended work. The decission came to late to save the hunters, as more than $50 licenses are said to have been issued by the clerk of Monroe County. Pretty nice little sum of revenue.

 This is a new move. Hereto fore the Waters-Pierce Co.,. have controlled the Brinklev Oil Mar ket and it remains to be 'seen' whether this move means com. petition in oil or a change oi business.

THE NATION AND THE STATES.

Arizona, also, has passed an alien landowner
ship law 1t is presumed to meet more nearly than
that of California the demands of the Federal Gov
eminent and of foreign countries with regard to
treaty observance.
But there is no way of knowing, until our courts
decide that for us. After they have decided, the
National Government is bound to accept their de-
cision, and to defend the States in whatever rights
the courts concede to them.
These incidents strongly suggest the propriety
Of constitutional provision for some Federal veto
power by which such laws as these, once passed by
State, could be suspended to their effectiveness
pending final determination of their constitutonaliy
That seems to be the practical and selfrespecting
way to accomplish the protection of treaties and

BEEF TRUST GRIP.

One of the things the Democratic party promised
was to rescue the public from the greed of the
Beef trust.
Now this paper not only doesn't hold brief for
the Beef trust but of all the industrial combinations
in this country it loves tat particular perhaps
the least But it has never been blind to the fact
that, Beef trust or no Beef trust, fewer cattle in
this country year by year and more people to eat
them year by year, couldn't very easily make beef
cheap.
When in the campaign, therefore, the Demo
cratic party proposed to make meat cheaper, there
was room for puzzlement. In possession of the Gov
ernment however, the party revealed that its sou.
ton was to let in meat from foreign countries.
J There are few cattleraising countries. One
Canada, is not understood to have more than enough
cattle to supply its own needs Another Australia
is long, long distance from this market, and it has
nearer markets just as good The Argentine Re-
public hasn't an enormous supply of beef, or even
. moderate surplus.
But the tariff makers were going to get US cheap
meat out of the Argentine. When this secret was
broken we feared that even if there were quantity
81 beef down there in addition to present demands
the American Beef trust might have grip on it.
Now we get the discouraging news from Buenos
Aires that the people and the government down
there are trying to rescue themselves from the
clutches of the American Beef trust!

THE HARRIS APPOINTMENT.

Some of the people supporting W. H. Harris, of
Georgia for chief of the Census Bureau, have made
the mistake of attacking the record and service of
E. Dana Durand, present chief. 1t has been al
legged, one of the reasons why Mr.. Harris should
be confirmed by the Senate, that Mr.. Durand mas
rot proved himself an efficient executive.
1t is hard to see wherein that allegation even if
true, could justify the Harris appointment. People
who have had most to do with the Census Bureau
and particularly those who have studied the statis
cal material it has issued on the last census are
pretty we'll united in tine opinion that Mr.. Durand
has been most excellent executive.
But suppose he has not been? Does that con-
sttute reason why man utterly without experience
training for such work, should be put into such
position?
Even if Durand must 60, that is no reason why
there need be haste to fill the place with political
favorte. Of all positions in the Government this
is about the last that ought to be made prize of
politics. AS we'll place the Chief Agronomist in
charge of the Naval Observatory, and transfer the
astronomical sharps to agricultural station.
We hold no brief for Mr. Durand. 1t isn't ma
teria whether he is retained provided some other
man as we'll or better equipped is put in his place.
But it is unthinkable that he should be dropped out
while the bureau is yet in the midst of compiling and
TO that work put in his place.
The country is full of men who would probably
be superior to either Durand or Harris in this posi-
ton If there is such in any university in
stitution of whatever sort he ought to be sought
and secured if possible, for this position. The ac-
curacy of the census compilations, and the intel-
gence and vision with which they prepared are
of an importance to students and publicists quite
beyond estimate.
President Wilson did fine thing when he in
sisted on retaining Charles P. NeI as Labor Com
missioner He did another when he nominated Ed
ward E. Clark to succeed himself on the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
By the standards that he set for himself in those
cases, he ought to withdraw the Harris nomination.
His whole patronage position is vastly weakened by
reason of his commitment to this nexcusable pot-
cal ono.

THE SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.

1t is, of course rather a sentimental than SUBJ
stantial victory that the cause of woman suffrage
wins in the favorable report from the Senate CON-
mittee on the resolution for suffrage amendment
TO the Constitution. But in such matters there is a
good deal of substance in sentiment. Sentiment is
what finally does the business.
: There is vast difference between submitting a
Proposal, and actually amending the Constitution.
1eere is no reason whatever why proposal for
changing the Constitution should not be submitted 10
the States whenever a respectable and considerable
support demands it. To change the Constitution is
not the prerogatve of Congress; to stand in the way
of change likewise ought not to be regarded as its
function. The case of the amendment for popular
election of Senators has lately demonstrated that
Congressional judgment of what the public wants is
not very accurate. Por decades we were assured IN
thunderous tones from Senate seats that there WIS
no use submitting that amendment because nobody
in particular favored it; there was merely sense
less camor from few agtators that would be
crowned out by the overwhelming expression of the
countys sober sense. How sadly these gentlemen
lnisjudged the public's attitude shown when in
less than year from its submission the amendment
was ratified.
Why then, should gentlemen who made such an
egregiousy bad guess that proposition assume
now to kill the Suffrage amendment? Why not adopt
il, and let the country decide?
Ii seems probable that, pressed to vote, the
measure will face rather close roli-call in the Sem
ate. The committee reported it with only one vote
in opposition, but this is indicative of the Senate
attitude because the committee is made up largely
Of Senators from States where women vote. That
the measure might pass the Senate is by no means
impossible. Aside from the members from ten suf-
frage States-counting nearly half enough votes to
PASS the amendment there considerable num-
Ger of liberals among both Democrats and Repub-
cans, who may be expected to favor the resolution
even though they may not all believe in women vot-
ing. They merely represent the new idea of letting
the people rule of giving them the chance to decide
for themselves.
For the resolution to pass tine Senate would be
a notable advance Its chances in the House. as now
constituted or likely to be constituted in the
future, would not be so good as in the Senate. The
woman suffrage States have much larger proper
fionate representation in the Senate than in the
House. But it would be good thing to get the mat
fer before the House. Advocates of the suffrage

A HOPELESS ANOMALY.

For several weeks, as all the world knows, the
National Administration in Washington has been eX-
ercsing its good Offices in the effort to keep Call
fornia from passing piece of legislation which may
be in contraventon of our national treaty oollga-
tions, and which is certain to be highly offensive
to friendly nation.
So long that legislation was under consldera-
tion it was possible for the National Government
employ its good Offices to ameorate its terms and
molify Japan Even in doing this however, the
National Administration had to act guardedly and
avoid the appearance of trenching upon the sovereign
rights of California. Nobody could tell authorita-
lively in such situation, just where the powers of
the State ended and those of the Nation began
There was the inevitable twilight zone. Whatever
the Nation did must be done with circumspection
and care, lest offense be given to California.
So, in the beginnings of the thing the Federal
authority had its hands practically tied. 1t coulo
not enjoin California not to pass the legislation
There resides no Federal veto of State legislation
For Washington to attitude remotely
suggestive of nsistence, not to say arrogance,
the last thing possible for that WOULD have given
cffense to State pride and moved California to the
more urgency in maintaining her supposed rights.
So the Federal Government was powerless to do
more than let Japan and the world understand that
it considered that California doing, at least
in danger of doing, the wrong thing The Secretary
of State was sent as message bearer from the
President to impress upon the legislature the same
view that had been indicated to the Japanese am
bassador
The legislation passed, and now, under this
anomalous and illogical system of ours, the National
Government must squarely change front and tell
Japan that the law of California is good law The
thing which, before it actually written into law,
the National Government opposed, must now be de-
fended This likewise is made necessary under our
cumbrous system which makes the States sovereign
entities for the purpose of running amuck if they
like and putting tnc final responsibility, before the
world, on the National Government.
So the nominal position of the Federal Govern
ment becomes that Of defending the California law
in the courts while actually it will be praying that
the courts may decide it to be unconstitutional! !!
Our foreign office will have to keep on explaining
to Japan that we trying best to prevent Cali
fornia from doing wrong, while at the same time our
legal officers must 60 through the motions of de-
Tending CALIFORNIA; rights to do that very thing!
And at the same time we expect Japan and the
rest of the world to look on and take US seriously
while we carry on such a farcical procedure
