BUILDING THE POTATO HOUSE.

We used to have trouble in keep
ing sweet potatoes, and no plan we
used was entirely satisfactory until
about five years ago we built pota-
to house that has solved the problem
for us.
We bought planks two inches thick
and had them cut into six and eight
foot lengths. The six-foot lengths
were used for the ends and the eight
foot ones for the sides. The walls
were made double with a three-inch
space between, which was filled with
dirt and sand. And A-shaped board
roof was put on, and hinged door
put in the south end. When pota-
ties are dug and put in the house the
door is left open day and night until
they go through the Sweat" which
they always do within a week after
being dug.
When the weather is extremely
cold the door is kept shut all the
time, but on mild days it is opened
so the potatoes can get air. They
are much sweeter and better to eat
when kept in a house than they are
when they are banked, and besides,
the task of getting out potatoes is
not so irksome as when they have to
be dug out Of grit and dirt.-Mrs. ID.
Il. Rust, in Farm and Ranch.

Elk CHIEF JUSTICE CULLEN SAYS
OUR PERSONAL LIBERTIES
ARE BEING DISREGARDED.

Edgar M. Cullen, former Chief
Judge of the Court of Appeals, of
New York, delivered in Carnegie Hall
the thrty-seventh annual address
to the New State Bar Association.
Three thousand persons heard his
discussion of The Decline of Person
al Liberty in America" When he
had ended he was made, on motion
of Henry w. Taft, an honorary mem
Der of the association. Then, with
most of those who had listened to
him, Mr.. Cullen wnt to the Hotel
Astor, where he was the guest of
honor at reception by the New
York County LAWYERS Association.
In his Carnegie Hall address, Mr..
Cullen said:
"Unless I am utterly mistaken

there is now a strong tendency in
courts, in legislatures and, worst of
all, in the people themselves, to dis
regard the most fundamental princi-
pies of personal rights. When I was
young liberty was deemed to be the
right of the citizen to act and live
as he thought best, so long as his
conduct did not invade like right
on the part of others. Today, accord
ing to the notion of many, if not
most people, liberty is the right of
part of the people to compel the 9TH
er part to do what the first. part
thinks the latter ought to do for it's
own benefit.
Cites West Virginia Cases.

subordination of the military power
to the civil was an axiom in a free
country, and the first cases to which

Reputation of that principle. They
arose in the State of Virginia in
1912. There had been great violence
and disorder during strike on the
part Of the coal miners and the law
had been openly defed. The Cover
nor Of the State suspended the writ
of habeas corpus and declared by
proclamation a state of war to exist

Reviewing various decisions of the
West Virginia courts affecting this
action MFR. Cullen said they assert
the power of the military at the un-
comfortable discretion of a single
man to dispose Of life and liberty of
any person within the State.''
yet" he added, 81 am by no
means sure that a majority of the
people, indignant at the many out
RACES and crimes committed by
strikers, do not approve the decisions
which I have criticized, forgetful of
the precedent they established"
Citing illustrations of other Gin
vasions' of individual rights Mr.
Cullen came to this one: cit has
been recently decided that an action
will lie against a rich man who opens
a barber shop with the motive of in
Juring the plaintiff, barber in bust

sake of the defendants own profit.

Il y EW YORK, Jan. 27.-Declar-
kk ing that all the powers of
lin government, both Federal
and State, lie at the feet of a
judicial oligarchy," COM
posed of the lawyers of the United
States, Chief Justice Walter Clark
OF the North Carolina Supreme
Court, addressed a meeting of the
Peoples Institute at Cooper Union
tonight, warned his fellow jurists
throughout the country to take heed
lest their power prove their own I'M
doing. Discussing Government by
Judges" Jnstice Clark said:
cit has been said that a contented
people have no annals. The present
unrest among the people, strange as
it may seem, is one OF the best signs
of the times. When people are con-
tent they either are ignorant of bet
ter conditions or hopeless of attaining
them. A divine discomfort is the ba-
sis of civilization and of all progress
in lettering the condition of human
ity.
Control in Hands of Few.
In this country, as in all coun-
tries, the control of the government
is in the hands Of the few.
In 1875 we issued a declaration
which proclaimed the rights of man
kind and their equality and freedom.
And then the reactionary party, the
champions of government of the
many by the few, quietly but effec-
lively took control of the govern
ment
The Importance, indeed the over
Whelming preponderance, of the judi
ciary in the government was created
in 1903 by decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States, without
line in the Constitution to author
re it, when that body assumed the
right to veto an act of Congress they
choose to hold unconstitutional.
''The assertion of this doctrine
was promptly seized upon as boon
by the special interests and by all
who believed at heart in the govern
ment Of the many for the benefit of
the few. 1t has practically made the
courts the dominant power in every
State in the Union. Whenever anti
progressive statute has not been in
accord with the economic views en-
tertained by the courts they have
SChS1 oily SACIC1SGu IuSlE power 10
declare such statute unconstitutional
because it was not due process of
law
Warns His Fellow Jurists.
Declaring that the constitution
does not authorize the assumption of
unlimited power by the courts, JUS
tice Clark said that if the constitu-
ton had given the judges the right
to set aside statute it would have
given the legislative branch the same
power in the case of an executive
veto.
In warning his fellow jurists
against "overstepping their authori-
ty" the speaker quoted Justice Har-
Ian where he declared that when the
people believe the judiciary is usurp-
ing legislative functions there will
be trouble.

OPPORTUNITY FOR
MANUFACTURERS

Washington. Sept. 17.--Of the
metal and metallic ores the United
States has been both an importer and
an exporter. Our imports OF iron ore
are double our exports. whereas of
metallic copper the United States ex-
ports nearly twice as much as 1t i'm
ports The general rule, however,
probably is that the imports OF man
ufactured or party manufactured met
ais largely exceed In value the ores
and crude metals brought into this
country for domestic manufacture,
and In the exports a somewhat SINH
lar ratio exists between crude mater.
ial and manufactures, so that ,here Is
presented double opportunity fol
increasing the scope and extent OF
American metal industries for both
domestic consumption and export.

The largest cargo of merchandise

be speeding eastward in bond to
New York on five special Southern
Pacific trains. The cargo consists
of go tons of raw silk and silk
pieces, and 200 tons of tea, mating

total shipment requiring over 165
cars, 10 of which are of an especially
constructed design to meet the re-
quirements Of the silk.
For a week the Southern Pacific
has been obtaining every available
car of the highest type of equipment
in the neighborhood of San Francis

the Pacific Mail dock, with several
switch engines assigned to the duty
of handling them preparatory to the
departure of the trains on the trans

Special train and freight handling
crews have likewise been held in
readiness. The silk goes first on Its
own special tonight. The remaining
27OO tons of merchandise will follow
in other specials as rapidly as it can
be assembled into trains.
Freight handlers will work day and
night until the entire cargo is out OF
the port, the company endeavoring tc
establish a time record for the trans
