AN ODD EDITORIAL

Great movements often have small
beginnings. They start with an idea.
The idea spreads and we have a re-
volution or reformation. Some day
you may be able to look back and re-
member that you read the editorial
which gave life to the movements to
abolish the supreme courts. Here is
the article, word for word, as it ap-
peared in the Lake Arthur, La, Her
aid, of the date of April 0, 1915:
"The vets won their fight in the
supreme court for saloons in Shreve-
port. Now will some bright young
lawyer stand up and tell us, why is
the supreme court to review a law
passed by the representatives of the
people. Do we have q government
by the people or a government by a
supreme court? If the supreme court
has the authority to say what laws
we shall be governed by, 'why is a
legislatnre?" Why go to the expense
Of legislature if the laws must be
passed by a supreme court before
they can be enforced? If we are to
have an authority higher than the
expressed will of the people what is
the object in allowing the people to
express their will? The supreme
court has usurped the authority it
exercises over the acts of the legisla
ture, and there is no place for a
usurper under a democratic form OF
government. Let's abolish the SUI
preme court -.

A YEAR OF PLENTY

Aberdeen News: Residents of the
portion sf South Dakota west of the
river who are attending federal court
here report crop prospects to be eX-
cellent in that territory. There was
in the neighborhood of 40 inches of
snow last winter all of which went
into the ground this spring, melting
so gradually that but little was vast
ed. Then in April there was total
rainfall OF six and third inches.
Winter wheat and rye came through
the winter in splendid condition;
spring wheat and other small grain
has all been somn and farmers are
all preparing to plant corn and pota-
toes. An unusually large acreage
will be planted to both this year. Po-
tatoes go easily 200 bushels to the
acre in that part of the state, and SO
bushels of corn is an ordinary crop.
The acreage in alfalfa is steadily
growing and that crop does we'll.
Dairy herds are growing in number,
and at Timber Lake alone last year
over $50, 200 was paid out for cream
from the dairy herds of that part of
the state, while other towns in that
section are handling large quantities
of cream.

BIG ATLANTIC FLEET

New York, May 1.-THE United
States Atlantic Fleet, under command
of Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, COM
prlsing Is naval vessels, withapprox.
imately 35, 900 officers and men abroad
arrived in the port of New York to.
day to remain until May 18th.
This huge aggregation of United
States warships and crews will be re-
viewed May f7th by President Wilson
in his official capacity as the Com
mander-in-C Chief of the United States
Army and Navy.
The review of the enormous Allan
tic fleet in New York harbCr comes at
time when this nation is especially
interested in it's naval strength and
naval resources. and the spotlight of
publicity will be projected on the fa-
nous Auto-piano at the same time
the the fleet is in New York, owing
to the intimate association of the
Auto-piano with most of the famous
sea lighters belonging to the big tieet
commanded by Admiral Fletcher.

OKLAHOMA RURAL CREDITS

The state of Oklahoma has a great
deal of cash in a fund derived from
the sale OF state lands, and has pass
ed a law providing for the loaning of
it for the purchase and Improvement
of farm homes.
These loans may not exceed 50 GOO,
which would be too small were it not
for the fact that Oklahoma lands are
not yet as high in price as those in
many other states.
Interest will be at per cent, with
two payments a year of per cent
each. This discharges the interest
and gradually pays off the principal
The state will issue rather long
time bonds in denominations of S25,
500, $500 and 81 900 against thcsa
mortgages themselves. The bonds
bear S per cent interest and, backed
up by the state, ought to be attrac-
tive to small investors.
The system promises to be an ex-
cellent thing, 1t shows that any
state may proceed in its own way in
the matter of rural credits.
Now if Oklahoma will pass an act
emancipating the farmers from the
chattel-loan incubus, farm life down
there may take on added attrac-
tiveness.

NO GUNS ON LUSITANIA

Washington, May 10.-One import
ant fact has been ascertained by the
Washington government from the
port authorities at New York, who
gave clearance to the Lusitania, that
it carried no guns, either mounted or
unmounted, in accordance with the
caution of the state department and
the British government early in the
war. This disposed in the minds of
the officials of the claim that the Ger
man submarine had right to attack
the Lusitania because it was an
auxiliary or converted cruiser.

PROGRESSIVES TO
SUPPORT WILSON

Progressive republicans in the west
and middle west are in an awful stew.
ihey have been trying desperately to
create sentiment in favor of the nom
lnation of progressive by the re-
pnblicans for president. Some Of
them want Hughes. some favor Cum
Minis and others want Borah. Hughes
has said he would not accept; Borah
says he doesn't care to make the race,
and Cummins is candidate.
But the outlook is not encouraging
to progressive republican. The
reactionaries are plainly in control
of the machinery of the party, and it
is almost foregone conclusion that
the party will again make the race on
hig tariff, standpat platform, and
that the candidate for president will
be standpatter of the the Burton,
Herrick, Lodge, Root or Fairbanks
type.
The republicans haven't better
progressive than President Wilson.
So the great body of progressive re-
publicans in the west and middle
west are going to be forced to sup
port Wilson or the bull moose NOM
inee which is as good as supporting
Wilson.
The presidents chances for re-.
election are getting brighter every
day.

JUDGMENT DEFERRED

President Wilson has not yet de
cided upon the course of the admins
tration in connection with the sink
ing of the Lusitania and the drowning
of 115 citizens OF the United States
through the most wanton act that
history records.
That there is no legal recourse is
the cool conclusion, while the heat
engendered by the outrage calls for
reprisal Cool Judgment agrees with
Senator Stone, chairman of the for
eign relations committee, that this ls
no time to rock the boat, to excite
passion when calm consideration
is demanded.
The American people have geuer
ally voiced their sentiments and they
are against the act that has filled the
world with horror.
The United States has directed its
am bassador to Germany to obtain
the facts in the case and when they
are officially known, the president
and his cabinet will sit in judgment
and reach a conclusion.
The legislature of California is the
first state body to speak. 1t has
adopted a resolution in which it says
that the state will stand by the
president, whatever he may conclude
to do, and it goes far enough in the
mend an increase in the strength OF

THE TAXABLE MORTGAGE

The commissioner of internal rev.
enue has reversed his former decision
with reference to taxation of mort
cages. A mortgage in which there is
embodied a power of sale clause
which is true of most mortgages has
previously been held to be taxable
under the war revenue" law at the
rate OF 25 cents, but under recent
decision this ruling has been reversed
and mortgages are now held not TO be
taxable because of the power of sale
clause therein contained.

GOOD TIMES AFTER THE WAR?


Brooklyn Eagle: Certain econom-
lists are showing that no matter how
much the war wastes, good times
must follow. Good times for whom?
Good times for the widows who take
in washing? Good times for the
countless orphans left to struggle
with poor equipment of schooling?
Good times for the generations yet
unborn who must pay the interest on
the public debt of $44, 900, 900 600?
Out of the war and out of the panic
which will follow it the knowing
| bankers and spectators will reap
huge fortunes, but the plain people
who do the fighting must pay the last
farthing. Very likely there will be
high wages in Europe and with them
high prices. 1t is suggested that the
! cost of the war will be compensated
for by cutting down the cost of arma-
ments. Who can say that the war
will not breed a fear which will de-
mand even greater armaments. No
one really believed the war would
come and no one really knows where
where it will founder or what dis
Aster Will follow in its wake.
