course. the markings of disaster. And
II. either rightly or wrongly. the peo-
pie believe that the judges are unfit
and their decisions are based on i'm
proper motives. We have a situation
almost as bad. There may be differ
ence Of opinion as to the wisdom and
technical accuracy of decisions with
out great harm resulting, but If a
body endowed with such powers and
weighted with such responsibilities as
Is the supreme court is held in pub
lie contempt. as a body of venal and
corrupt men, actuated by base motives
and willing to prostitute their high Of
flee to base uses, then we have q sit
uation which Is ~intolerable, and which
strikes right at the roots of our en-
tire system of government. If such a
situation exists. there can be no secu-
rity anywhere, and for all practical
purposes we are reduced to a state of
anarchy.
1t follows that the making Of an
unwarranted accusation against the
integrity Of the supreme court Is a
g%rievous %offense, not so much against
the court itself as against the peace
and security OF the state. If there
had been such a conspiracy as charg-
ed, the fact would be a deplorable
one. 1t would have indicated the ex-
istence of such a state of corruption in
our state government that nothing
short of determination, root and
branch, would nave been adequate.
Any man having evidence of the COM
mission of such a crime-for it would
be nothing less-would not have been
doing his duty as a citizen, had he
not taken steps to have such a scan
dalous condition removed, not by the
publication of chance newspaper
Statements, but by official action
which would have resulted in the
prompt removal from office of every
person who vas a party to such an
evil compact.
On h other hand, no mar Is war;
ranted in making, or even limiting at
charges Of this kind unless he is
thoroughly and reliably informed, and
unless he is prepared to place that in
formation before the public and be-
fore the legislature in a convincing
and conclusive manner.
The Herald believes In freedom of
speech. It believes in the absolute
right of In individual or a newspaper
to comment on and criticise official
action, either on grounds Of policy or
on grounds of legality. But most dis
tinctly and decidedly 1t does not be-
lieve that any individual or any news
paper has the right either to attack
the character of an individual or to
ascribe the action Of official bodies to
unworthy and eve criminal motives
without the possession of absolute
proof and the willingness to produce
that proof In such a manner that there
ran be no doubt Of its conclusiveness.
To make charges which cannot or will
not be proven is to introduce an ele-
ment Of disintegration into our public
life. and to do damage which goes far
beyond the interests or even the rights
of my individual, sacred though these
should be.

THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

In q recent editorial the New York
Outlook discusses the progressive a.
distinguished from the progress Of
the progressive party. It takes the
position that the party was tho out
growth Of the movement, md that, re-
sardless of what may b. the fate Of
the new party. the movement will 70
on.
The new party was in part tho out
growth of the progressive movement.
OF that there a be no doubt. But It
was also largely the result Of the op-
Grafton Of other forces. not tho least
OF which was tho desire of Colonel
Roosevelt to dominate the situation.
II the creation Of the new party had
been wholly attributable to the prog
ress OF the progressive movement. the
party would not be giving moro svi-
dencs Of permanency than has been
observable Of late. But, because It
came into, being largely In Response

CONTEMPT OF COURT.

The editor of a Fargo paper has
een sentenced to pay a fine and be
imprisoned a certain number OF days
as n punishment for contempt of
court. the court in this instance being
the supreme court of the state of
North Dakota.
At its meeting in August the state
board of equalization, in making its
tax levy for the ensuing year, under
took to reduce the sums appropriat-
ed by the legislature for certain pur-
poses, among them for the mainten-
ance of educational institutions. Rep
resentatives Of the interests specially
affected asked the supreme court to
order a reversal Of this action, and on
the showing made. the court issued an
order In substantial compliance with
the request made. The board later
asked for a rehearing on the ground
that 1t had additional facts to lay be-
fore the court. and this was granted.
After this hearing a second decision
was rendered., under which, and pre-
sumably in compliance with it. the
board made a new levy in which the
sums available for the complainants
were still further reduced, similar re-
auctions, however, being spread over
other appropriations az we'll. Between
h first decision and the second the
state election Of Nov. 3 interviewed.
h Fargo paper involved in the
contempt case commented on III facts
and made the charge. In substance,
that there had been an agreement be-
tween the members Of the equalization
board and the supreme court whereby
the first decision should b. rendered
Al 1t a before election. and that the
new hearing, second decision and new
levy should follow the election. The
purpose of this. according to the pub
l1shed criticism. was hat the voters
should be kept in ignorance of the
true facts until after election. these
facts being. 1t was held. Of a nature
which would impair the chances of
election of members Of the board.
The above, we believe. is without
the quotation Of official documents, a
fair statement Of the facts. For the
publication of the charges. the news
paper nan Ia sentenced to a fine and
imprisonment.
1t is not the purpose Of The Herald
to retry the case or criticize the decis.
ion. 1t Is desired. however. that while
the case is fresh. to offer a few gen.
eral observations with reference to it
The supreme court, like every other
body. is composed Of men who are eft
liens Of the state, and who have been
elected to their positions because of
their supposed fitness for those posi-
tons. Because the court has the pow
err. and on it is imposed the duty, 70
say what is law Inc what is not, to
interpret every statute, and thereby to
lay down rules which affect every
human being in the state in the pos
session of his property. the security OF
his person. and yer in the possession
Of life itself, the supreme court is by
far the most important body we have.
The stability of our institutions de-
pends very largely, first on the ability
and integrity of the members of the
court. and second, on the in
which those men and their decisions
are regarded by the people Of the
state. IL the Judges are corrupt or

pense mas been incurred but on the

possible.
Fourth-Public printing. The APP

lature OF 1913 in so days used $48,-

ments s about $4,000, making a

TO pc taken from an appropriation Of

all the state printing for two years.
and the state cannot do it's printing
for any such sum as the amount left.
Neither the governor nor the state
of1cers can pay money out from the
state treasury except as the people
pay money into it. Appropriations
have been made in excess OF the rev.
enues Of the state and the legislature
mas taken by special ~so-called mill
levies 35 per cent of the total tax
levy thai can be made under the con-
%stitution Of the state. Trouble arises
from the fact that each institution
only takes into consideration it's own
special needs, while the state admin
strative officers are forced to look at
the situation from a. broader and IN
prejudiced viewpoint in considering
not only the needs of each state in
%stitution but every branch of the state
government as we'll.
If the educational institutions would
practice economy, would stop the dup
LEGATION OF work and would eliminate
from their courses some Of the sub-
jects which are not necessarily essen
tials. then they could easily get along
and keep out Of debt on the very large
incomes which they now have. Those
who have given this matter coneidera-
ton n thought know that this is
true. The trouble is we r apt to
forget that the educational and other
institutions belong to the state and
not to the particular town where it
may be located. Too many of us are
interested in q local institution only
from the viewpoint of what it may
do for us or our home city in a per-
sonal and financial way, n not from
the broad viewpoint as to its cost and
benefits to the people of the whole
state. There would be little or nc
duplication of work in the many edu-
cational institutions were it not for
the fact that institutions wish to show
a big gain in students and to get
ahead of some rival school. and the
towns where the institutions are To-
Gated are anxious to see an increase
Of students because that means in
creased business.
Under the ruling of the court it
was found that the preferred claims
against the state for the judicial, leg
islative and executive branches of the
government. and for the state hospi-
tai for the insane, the p~enitentiary
and home for the feeble minded will
amount in 1915 to 81 .351,473.42. To
pay this will require in addition to the
receipts from miscellaneous collec-
tions and cash on hand, a levy of 2k
mills on the dollar of assessed valu-
alton. The non-preferred claims are
as follows for 1915:
