ANOTHER RULE OF REASON.

Duluth Herald: Another rule OF
reason has been laid down by the
United States supreme court in its
declaration of the validity Of the Chi
cago ordinance on the sale of bread.
The law prohibits the sale of short.
weight loaves, and requires that ev-
cry loaf sold shall be labeled with
its weight. .
Complaint against the ordinance
was made by a baker who asserted
that the ordinance interfered with the
freedom Of contract guaranteed by
the constitution. The supreme court
declared that there is NO absolute"
freedom in this respect. That local
authorities intrusted with the .regula-
ton of such matters as honest weight
and honest measure are the best
judges of what is right in such mat
tiers, and that Chicago, through its
pOllCt pONcI, Has tuc IlkHI W ucNldiIu
honesty and openness in the sale of
bread to it's citizens. The bakers
plea, the court declared, If sustained,
would do away with Standardization
of weights and measures.
Here is a rule of reason which the
people will understand and appreci-
ate to the full. 1t Is one which de-
clares in favor of a workingman's
getting his moneys worth when he
buys food for his family. 1t is more
than a rule of reason-it is a rule of
honesty. And incidentally the courts
decision will be a vast help to other
cities than Chicago in enforcing
square dealing by those whose bust
ness is to supply the people with
the necessaries OF life.

-HE WILSON INAUGURATION,

In Difference to the expressed
wishes of President-elect Wilson, the
inaugural ball reception in the Pen.
sion building has been eliminated by
the inaugural committee from its
plans Of welcome and honor to the
incoming president, says the Wash.
'ngton Star. The question whether
mere shall he a popular reception in
the rotunda Of the capitol is properly
referred to the inaugural committee
to congress, under whose authority,
direction and control this function
must be held, ii it is approved by the
national legislature.
The inaugural committee will carry
out what is left Of the traditional
inaugural plans for which RESPONSE
bility rests upon it, as, for instance,
In relation to the inaugural parade,
street decorations and fireworks, and
will cordially cooperate to the ex-
tent that the incoming president anG
congress desire in the purely national
junction of a reception to or by the
new president at the capitol.
The precedent established by Pres
ident.eleot Wilson's intervention, re.
ssulting Immediately in the transfer OF
control OF and responsibility for the
inaugural reception from the citizens
committee to congress. will doubtless
have the ultimate result of transfer.

II hENDRlcksON BILL.

House Bill No. 80, ana which is
known as the Hendrickson bill, rails
ed quite "a storm in the house a day
or two ago, because OF the fact that
it thinkers with the supreme court. 1t
is an unwritten law that all legisla-
ton which affects the action of the
higher courts is considered a very
grave matter, and is generally SHE'D
at by sound thinking legislators.
The substance OF this bill is a pro-
vision which calls for a unanimous
concurrence of the supreme court in
order that a law may be declared I'M
constitutional. The majority rule
was adopted for the express purpose
of avoiding the snag which this bill
Is very likely to bring the supreme
court in contact with sooner or later.
There is nj assurance that a fanatic
will not at some time gain a seat
on the bench, in which case he could
Block decisions of vital Importance.
The bill has been reported favor
ably to the house, but it is likely to
have hard shedding in the senate,
where more conservative considera-
ton is always given to measures.
There is much opposition to the meas.
ure, and it is doubtful if it should
pass, or If it will pass.

A NEW FIELD OF WORK.

In an early number OF the Collec.
tons of the State Historical Society
of North Dakota, there will appear
a translation of the now rare book
by Gottfried Duden, Report OF a
Journey Into the Western States o.
North America and an Account OF a
Residence OF Several Years On the
Missouri River in the Years 1924 to
1921" This translation is the work
Of William G.. Bek, Professor Of Ger.
man at the University of North Da-
kota. The old book is full of the
most interesting facts concerning
the early settlements on the lower
Missouri. Hardly any phase Of Amer
lean life Of that day has escaped the
%observant eye OF Duden. Moreover,
he discusses every sort OF condition
that might be favorable or rnfavor-
able to successful settlement by Eu-
ropeans. 1t is the most luminous and
manifestly the most sincerely written
| work Of the many publications of that
day which had as their subject the
Misunderstood country CT America. In
it's three editions 1t found wide cir
culation in Germany. 1t appeared at
the time when the Germans were so
much dissatisfied with the social, po-
litical and economic conditions OF
their country, and when they were
locking for a bettermen of their -af-'
fairs. Duden's book thus appeared
at the psychological moment; like a
giant index it pointed to the region
along the lower. Missouri. Thous.
ands of Germans followed in the wake
CT Duden. The very book from which
the translation is made was in the
hands of an Immigrant as he crossed
the ocean, and the marginal notes
which he made in the old volume are
eloquent witnesses OF the eagerness
with which the pages were perused
and how they served him as a guide.
The lower Missouri country thus be-
came the Mecca for ship loads Of Ger.
man immigrants and from this point
they wandered north and south into
the states which now have AZ large
German population. Among the first
to follow Duden to the West were
many highly educated persons who
sought to wash away the dust Of
Europe in the virgin forests Of Am
erica They are generally known
as the Latin farmers" because their
training was rather classical than
practical. The story Of these men,

tlous task OF the pioneer, Is at thu

While investigating the site OF Dtl

Of nnden's book was extremely for

the correspondence and diary and 9th
err documentary matter Of one OF
these Latin farmers" who had come
