WHAT SAYS THE CONSTITUTIONS

The following editorial expounding
BY the Waco Times-Herald Of the con-
stitution with reference TO the con-
aict OF our higher courts on the pool
hall question. Is edifying as well as
70 the point:
After review OF the McLennan
County pool case. wherein the two
high courts are In antagonism. the
Denlson Herald comes forward with
THU solution:
"'This anomalous situation grows
out OF our complex judicial system.
which Is daily proven TO be the eli
max OF farces. and from which there
r. apparently no escape save by and
through a constitutional convention
assembled for the purpose OF draft
ing a new organic law and the estab-
lishment OF a foundation upon which
q new system can be erected that
will be based upon common sense and
will enable the citizens to tell with
some degree OF accuracy just what
the law is. As at present not even
the skilled lawyer can advise his
client what his rights are or may be.
II Is all guess work. for he doesn't
know what view the courts will take
or whether the two upper courts will
agree upon the effect Of statute. its
force or its constitutionality.'
at Is not for a layman 10 go over
the heads OF those set to interpret
the laws. unless. of course. some evil
dent wrong OF major sort Is being
inflicted on some member Of the body
polite. But II win be permitted us,
we trust, to give what seems to us 10
be reasonable Interpretation OF the
constitution as II bears on this ques
ton. The constitution says that 'vhe
judicial power Of this State shall be
vested In one Supreme Court, in a
Court OF Appeals. In district courts
IN county courts. in commissioners
courts, In courts OF justices OF the
peace. and In such other courts rs
may be established by law Now II
seems 20 us. learned judges. that
when the constitution says one Su
preme Court. II means just that and
nothing more. Two Supreme Courts
are out OF the question. Supreme
means highest. Therefore. learned
judges, as we see Il. and we say this
with all due difference. when the Su
preme Court makes a ruling. that Il
the end insofar as we here In Texas
are concerned. II the United States
Supreme Court sees AZ TO review th'
findings OF the State Supreme Court
all well and good. But all TexaI
courts. II seems TO us. are subordinate
20 the one Supreme Court" We d.
not see. esteemed Denison Herald
how new constitution could max
this any palmer. unless, OF course,
should abolish the Court OF Appeal
and rest It's functions in the one ST
preme Court. As said. this Is only
Iayman's view OF the matter In cor
troversy. We are quite sure tina
Judges Harper and Prendergast ar
standing on what they consider tn
rights, the dignity and the obligation
Of the Court of Appeals, and we homo
them for the fidelity to the truth q
they see II. But Il is given to us
see only the one Supreme Court an
II is so recorded"

Germans Claim French In
fantry Regiment Has Been
Wiped Out

Paris, Jan. 30.--0n an official invi.
tation extended to him by the Belgian
government, William Philip Sims, man
ager of the Paris bureau OF tho. United
press, left today for a tour Of the Bel
gian lines in northern France.
This is the second visit Sims has
made to the fighting front bearing Of
ficial credentials of the allied govern
ments, Early in November he was Sc
lected by the French government to
represent the United States on the first
autnorizd trip Of correspondents and
military attaches from neutral nations.
This party visited tho entire French
front, saw the French troops in their
trenches, inspected the commissary ar
rangements and paid visit to General
Joffre s headquarters, where Sims inter-
viewed the French commander in chief.
Credentials given to Sims on other oc.
casions have given him unusual advan-
tages over other correspondents. Re-
Gently he returned from visit to the
French entrenchments outside of VeE-
dun.
Henry Wood, formerly Rome manager
! Of the United Press, has been officially
accredited by the French government 10

d Press during Sims absence.

intelligence among their commanding
officers Never before have system
and scientific management been carried

England's s command of the seas mas

The effect has been felt not only up

The second development Of import
ance during the six months Of hostil-
tiles has been tine failure Of the Rus

disappointed their western allies. Rus.
sian successes against Austria have re-
moved some of the dependency in Pc

If the Germans ultimately are driven
from France, the brunt Of the work will
fall on Lord Kitcheners s new army Of

The six months fighting has been
satisfactory only to Servia, whose rival

of the war. The Seryians nave freed

FLAX RAISED HERE
BRINGS $40 PER ACRE
Quality Of Straw Equal to
That of Straw Raised
In Belgium

Forty dollars worth Of flax straw to
one acre sounds more like q fairy tale
than the plain business truth, yet there
is one man living just outside the city
limits Of Salem who says it can be
done, provided there is market for
the flax.

gium before coming to this country.
James G. Crawford, the Irish linen
manufacturer examined flax Mr. Hen
self had grown this spring and pro.
nounced II better than any he had seen
in Canada and equal to the best raised
in Belgium.
For ten years Il. r. Bosse, the father
Of Mrs, Hanset raised flax and built u
flax mill near Salem. He came to this
country with nothing and prospered in
the flax raising.
According TO Mr.. Hanset, who knows
from years Of actual flax raising, two
tons Of straw can be raised to the acre
and with anything like an average
price, it is worth from $l5 to $50 per
ton. This year he planted 10 acres in
flax aud from this 10 acres sold $72O
worth Of flax and 30 bushels Of sted,
worth ~ per bushel The receipts from
the 10 acres amounted TO 5000. He
claims that part Of his land was not Of
the bestj that it requires good land to
produce two tons per acre and that this
Is a safe estimate.
Mr. Ilanset states that the land in
flax cultivation must be narrowed and
rolled more often than in ordinary
crops, as the flax seed Is very small
aud the soil must be in better condition
than for any other crop. He figures
that the seed will cost SO per acre aft.
er the first year, but that IL the best
seed from Riga, Russia is used, the cost
will be- SO per acre After the seed is
sown, In the latter part Of April, there
is nothing TO do until It is cut early

change crops every three years There
is nothing unusual or difficult in the
hendling Of flax, except that, after It
has been cut and left TO dry. care must
be taken that the stalks are not bent
or broken.

ROAD FROM HERE TO
BEND WELL UNDER WAY
Twenty Mile Stretch Between
Salem and StaytOn Will Be
In By June |

"After devoting three and half
years Of my time and spending my own
money in securing the right of way
and other property between Salem and
Stayton, encouraged only by the
staunch support Of the farmers, can
now safely say that my road is on an
independent basis" This was the
declaration today of ]. +. Mounce,
General Manager Of the Oregon Rail.
road Company when asked as to the
progress Of the road. Mr.. Mounce had
lust returned from trip out on the
line with Chief Engineer Merrill and
from camp No. /, which has lust been
established seven miles out, where 60
men are at work
"The farmers along the line are
more than anxious to give all the sub.
sidy that was asked ana to meet all
our requirements, said Mr.. Mounce.
Portland men were here today and
were shown over the line between
Salem and Stayton Among them were
Charles Daley and l. f.. McCauey who
propose to take a half interest in the
construction contract with Mike I.y.
mott and to further finance the con.
| struction Of the road.
There is not a line that could be
built out Of the city Of Salem,' said
Mr.. Mounce, that would command the
amount of tonnage that the Oregon
Ralroad Company has tributary to
their line. We have the farmers prod.
ucts, prune district mines on the up.
per Santiam, waterfalls and power aud
timber in unlimited quantities, While
the distance Of our line from Salem
to Bend is ll0 miles, connecting with
the Hill system, yet the mileage from
Bend, Oregon, to Portland via Salem
and the electric railway is less than
half the distance by any other route. ~
Mr., Mounce stated that while the
| line had been delayed on account of
his sickness for the past year. yet now
I everything was working harmoniously;
that very few railroads build their own
lines, most Of them being constructed
/ by promoters and engineers.
Mr.. Mounce felt that he had met
with a great amount Of opposition In
Salem, although the railroad would be
Of great benefit to this city. Mike
Lynott has contract with Mr..
( Mounce to complete the road to Stayton
! by December, but with average fair
weather Mr.. Lynott expects to have the
90 miles TO Stayton completed by

will be- pushed to completion without
further delay.
