Washington, d. C., June 29-There
is war between the executive and leg
islative branches of the democratic
administration.
The Department of Justice has ask
ed the United States Supreme Court
to declare null and void a statute up
on which the democratic congress la
bored for more than six months 10
enact into law.
This amazing spectacle has its ori-
gin in the clause Of the tariff act pro-
posing to give a five per cent dis
count on all duties imposed on mer-
chandise imported in vessels admitted
to American registry. Its history is
veil Known The Court Of Customs
Appeals recently upheld the law in a
divided opinion. From this decision
the government has appealed.
In its brief asking the Supreme
Court to review the case, the Depart
ment Of Justice severely criticises
congress for laundering.
"The congressional purpose of fav-
oring American bottoms is Obstructed
by treaty provisions to the contrary,
declares the argument for a review,
"and congress was fully advised Of
the purport and existence Of these
treaties. If no precise or intelligent
meaning can be given to the law IN
question, consistent with the mani
fest intention of congress, it must be
held to be void and Of no eject.
"If the initial clause and the pro-
viso Of the section are irreconcilable"
and the government so contends, "the
statute is void. Better that the words
used should be declared inadequate for
the purpose intended than that inter
probation should usurp the function Of
Legislation"
The Department still further em-
phasizes its belief that the act Of
congress was absurd by quoting with
approval the senate committee report
which rejected the offending section.
"Your committee struck out the
provision" says the report as quoted
by the government Drlei. IL was IN
contravention of some nineteen or
twenty treaties of the United States.
In our opinion it could have led 10 no
good result, as every other country
could have retaliated and all Of the
countries in the end would have been
lust about where they started We
were not only inviting an endless re-
taliation, but a retaliation where our
opponents would have had in nearly
every case the better Of it, and in
many cases infinitely the better"
Further, the Department of JUS
tice contends that congress enacted
a law either impossible Of perform
ance or that must be postponed until
treaty relations can be modified so as
to permit of it," and urges the court

WHY TIMES DON'T IMPROVE
Sales of War Supplies Won't Start All
Industries Hit by Democratic
Tariff

Washington, June 30 Special cor
respondence)-Cane growing farmers
in Louisiana are evidently as much
disguised with the democratic tariff
as are the sugar beet growers Of
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Idaho, Utah,
Oregon and many other beet sugar
states. Although the war has tenn
porarily helped the beet sugar indus
try, the closing down Of sugar fac
tories in 1914 gave the beet growers
a lesson which they are not likely soon
to forget Neither will the cane
growers of Louisiana soon forget. Mr..
Frank A. Singer of New Orleans was
in Washington last week and had the
following comment to make on the ef-
feet of the Underwood law on the sug-
ar industry:
"The democrats will have hard
time explaining that schedule in the
tariff law which places sugar on the
free list next year. Down our way
we believe that there will be action by
the next congress to restore the duty
on sugar. Some idea Of the operation
of the new sugar schedule may be had
by a statement Of the government fig
ures under the Underwood law. These
show that from March /, 1914, when
the reduced rate went into effect, up
to March l, 1915, the revenue was
S49, $40. 900. For the same period if
the duty on sugar had not been re-
duced, there would have been revenue
amounting to 100000, difference
Of practically $1s,OOO,OO0. The refund
for which the government is respon-
sible under a decision Of the Court Of
Appeals, 5 per cent on all goods com
ing in overseas, at this rate, would
be sIs,OOO,0OO If sugar goes on the
free list May /, 1916, as contemplated
by the Underwood law, there will be
an annual loss of duty of S6S,000,O00.
Notwithstanding the reduction in
.luty and the contemplated placing of
sugar on the free list, the price of
sugar has gone from s4.7O in June,
1913, to S5.12 this year"
1t is not from Louisiana alone that
Southern protests against democratic
free trade are heard. To be sure, it
was Louisiana that made the first open
fight-when it was proposed that sug-
ar be put on the free list-but other
Southern states, having learned by
experience what low tariff or free
trade can do in injure them, are be
ginning to voice their opposition to
continuance of such a destructive pol
icy.
Grapefruit producers in such SOL
i'd democratic state as Florida have
suffered so severely in the past sea
son that they are willing to break
political affiliations of long standing,
in the hope of bettering their condi-
ton. Grapefruit is generally regard
ed as a luxury Demand for that ar
ticle is dependent largely upon pros
porous conditions. The man out of a
job cannot and does not supply his
table with this delicacy. The Florida

A Governors Mistake


We are sorry that the address of
Gov. Major was not inclosed in the
box that was sealed within the corner
stone of Missouri's new State Capt.
tol, when it was laid with such i'm
posing ceremonies last Thursday. At
some time in the far away future,
centuries from now, perhaps, that box
will be reopened, and we would like
to feel that the people of the after
while could learn therefrom that one
bright light Illuminated, if but for a
moment, the darkness of this age of
ours. For that address surely did
scintillate. 1t was as copious and re-
! fulgent in its sparkles as a fireworks
display on a Fourth of July. But be
fore entombing it for the delight and
wonder of future ages we would have
desired the privilege of making sin
gle correction. Among the brilliant
lpyrotechnical flashes of this memoir
able address was the following:
with the light of new epoch shin
ing upon our faces and standing just
without the shadow Of the greatest of
I the worlds centuries, in the sunrise
of the new-one with its history writ
ten, crowned with its brilliant achieve
ments, bedecked with its marital and
civic heroes-the other with its bat
ties unfought and its fortune untold
let us lay this corner stone"
| Frka fg xpitbfr, tho =
when he crowns, bedecks and buries
the last century, but when he speaks
Of this one with its battles unfought"
we must insist that he is wrong. His
excellency, we know, is very busy
man, and perhaps he hasn't had time
to read the newspapers during the last
year, but surely some rumors must
have come to his ear Of the war in
Europe. He may have dismissed them
as idle tales, but some one in whom
he has implicit confidence should get
him off in a quiet corner and tell him
the truth. He really ought TO know
about it He ought to know about this
war, and its fought battles. If there
are any "unfought battles" and the
fact is discovered, somebody is going
to be court-martialed. Why, COVER
nor, there have been battles, this year,
that were bigger than Bonneville or
even Wilson Creek, and the siege of
Lexington wasn't bit more exciting
than that of Antwerp. Gov Major, it
seems, hast heard about the war be-
tween Russia and Japan, either; nor
the Boer war, nor trouble in Mexico.
Nothing but succession of battles
since the century opened, and all of
them fought. There may yet be some
unfought battles in this century, pos
sibly that's the only kind Wen have
hereafter; but there's some in sight
now, and the governors classification
should be corrected. Anyway, it isn't
right for the head of a great state to
try tc get along without newspaper.

done as yet but it has been sug-
gested that the ad vertising be
done in the daily papers of the
eastern states and also by means
of circular advertising showing
the conditions and opportunities
of this section. We think this
is a very good plan and that it
would bring great results if car
ried out Systematically and judi
cially.
A meeting was called for last
Friday evening to discuss ways
and means but on account of the
heavy rain, not many ventured
out and SO the meeting was cal
led off. A meeting will be held
in a few days and it is thought
that system will be worked
out that will make good pro-
position.

Government Wins
Important Action

In ten page opinion Judge
James d. Elliott of the federal
court found for the government
against Carl Pitan of Oacoma
who is charged with conspiracy
in the fundamental entry of a
homestead property. Much i'm
portance has been placed on the
case in view of the fact tn a t
thousands of similar cases are
believed to exist where the gov.
ernment has been powerless to
obtain redress against fraudulent
patentees or where innocent
purchasers have acquired land
from them.
Together with Pitan a woman
named Bertha Henry was made
defendant in the action brought
bv the government which al
legged t h a t the two conspired
about May 10, 1912. to make a
fraudulent homestead entry.
The woman defendant admitted
having taken up a homestead
under agreement with Pitan to
convey to him when she obtained
title, which she did.
R. 7. Stewart, United States
district attorney brought suit for
damages. This course was nec-
cessary because more than six
years had elapsed and the gov
ernment was barred by the stat
ute of limitations from bringing
action to cancel the patent. The
defendant through his attorney
John C. Bartine of Oacoma de-
INJURED to the complaint at the
last term of federal court here
and both attorneys, for plaintiff
and defendant, filed briefs with
Judge Elliott.
1t was the contention of the
defense that more than six years
having elapsed the statute of
limitations barred any action on
the part of the government. Dis
trict Attorney Stewart on the
other hand contended that an ac-
ton at law was not barred and
the defendants should be made
to answer in damages for fraud
on the government, which con-
tention was upheld by the judge
in his decision.

Youth Narrowly
Escapes Drowning

But for the timely assistance
of Lew Fein, clerk at the Coddon
Clothing Store, Dannie McKin-
non, young son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Dan McKinnon, would have been
a victim of the waters of Reser-
voir Lake last Sunday, when got
beyond his depth.
1t seems that Dannie. with a
party of young friends went to
the lake for a swim and that,
after being in the water a
considerable length of time. he
attempted a swim out into the
lake. Not being an experienced
swimmer he soon tired and with
a cry for help sank from sight.
Edward Ramsland, who was one
of the party of boys. swan to
his assistonce, put was unable to
bear the drowning boys weight.
Just at this time, Lew Fein ar
rived on the scene and, hearing
the frantic cries for help, plung-
ed into the water and got to the
side of the Young man just as he
was sinking for the third time.
Fein grabbed the young mans
arm and hurried him to shore,
where first aid was given. Ex-
cept for bad scare, Dannie is
none the worse off for his exper-
ience and he has learned a lesson
that he should never forget.
This narrowly averted eccident
should awaken the residents of
Lennon to the danger of allow
ing children to go to the reser-
voir without the company of
older persons. as the depth of
the water is considerable and
there are no means of rescue ex-
cept by a strong swimmer.
