Some measures ought to be taken to
rid the shade trees along our thorofares
of their low-hanging branches. 1t is
true that we have an ordinance which
prescribes that all shade trees be so
trimmed that all of the branches are at
least 7 feet above the sidewalks, but it
has so far proved Ineffective altho it has
been in force for quite number of years.
There is positive danger from these low
branches, the gravest of which no doubt
is that of having an overhanging branch
strike and hurt the eyes of some pedes-
TRAN We are satisfied that property
owners are favor of complying with the
ordinance in question, but most of them
lack the necessary tools and the ability
to properly trim the trees. Possibly if
the council would employ competent
man to do this work, the citizens would
gladly cooperate with the city by paying
their share of the expense. At any rate
something should be done at once.

Official Paper Of the City of New Ulm.


Ignorance of the law excuses no one, :
runs the old adage; but how shall the
plain ordinary citizen know the law when
four judges of the Illinois Supreme Court
interpret it one way and three declare for
the opposite way? This happened when
the law giving women in that state the
right to vote was declared constitutional.
There must have been some dense
ignorance as to the law somewhere. And
besides that, why should the right of
more than one million citizens to vote
depend upon the gracious consent of
four individuals? This is certainly some
despotic power that menaces the rights
and liberties of the people.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1914-07-01

The Taft administration sought to
evade Columbia's claims by delay, in
stead of meeting her in the Peace Court
at The Hague, or submitting the matter
to disinterested arbitrator. The Wilson
administration undertook to re-establish
amicable relations between the two
countries, but it, too, failed to take adj
vantage of the Peace Court, or of dis
interested arbitrator. In attempting a
settlement by treaty agreement the Adj
ministration has been embarrassed by a
desire to be generous to an injured neigh
Dor, and the necessity of placating
native prejudice; the result is treaty
that stands little chance of endorsement
by the United States Senate. Should
the Senate refuse to confirm the treaty,
the whole matter should be taken to The
Hague. If the world is ever to disarm,
it will be only when the nations are ready
to submit questions to an international
court; and this is good opportunity to
establish precedent for others to follow.
