The fact that the American me1

The fact that the American mer.
chant marine is building up is
claimed by some as a refutation of
the charges brought against the
LaFollette merchant marine law.
After the passage of the law many
American shippers went out of
business claiming that they could
not compete under the restrictions
imposed by the law. Some of
them are now going back into the
service, but when conditions are
considered it is easily understood.
Before the war it cost four cents a
bushel to carry wheat from New
York to England. Now it costs
forty cents and rates on other ar.
ticles have raised in proportion.
With such rates shipping is profit
able under any old restrictions,
but wait until conditions again be.
come normal and we will be up
against the same old difficulties.

Howard Babcock, an attorney
at Sisseton, opposes the proposed
amendment providing for a five.
sixth jury verdict in civil cases.
He says:
"a unanimous verdict necessa-
rily coduces to the opinion with
both litigant and the public that
the decision must be right because
twelve men had agreed on it. The
same decision will not be so con.
elusive in general if a mere major
ity verdict is substituted for a
unanimous verdict"
The statement of Mr.. Babcock
is true, but it is the argument of a
special pleader presenting only one
side of the case. Further, his ar
gument would apply equally as
we'll to decisions by our supreme
court as to decisions by juries, yet
he does not object to majority de-
cisions by the supreme court. IT
is true that unanimous decision
is more conclusive evidence of JUS
tice than a tve.sixth verdict would
be, but on the other hand there are
many cases under the present sys-
tenn in which eleven jurors agree
and one dissents. In such cases
the one juror blocks the game and
the judgment of the eleven is set
at naught. Will the litigants and
the public be satisfied that justice
has been done in such cases? ? The
aim of the courts should be TO mete
out justice with as little expense
and delay as possible, and the pre-
sumption would be that the decis.
ion of ten jurors would be nearer
right than the decision of two.

County School Letter
By supt. G. G. Fites,

Somewhere in this land of ours
a future president of the United
States is getting his first lessons in
democracy this week. We can not
tell but that he is attending one of
our own Bon Homme county
schools. The opportunity lies be-
fore him, and happy indeed is that
teacher who succeeds in inducing
him with the needed inspiration.
The county library books are
now ready for the first forty six ru.
raj schools. The remaining dist
riots will be supplied just as soon
as possible. 1t is hoped that the
teachers and school officers will as.
Isist in getting these books delivered
to the various schools in the county
at the earliest date that is conven-
lent.
Several teachers have called at
the office during the past week and
secured the new blanks that are re-
CURED this year in connection with
their work. We are always glad
to have the teachers call at the Of
fee. and especially so in the case
of young and inexperienced teach
ers.
A great many calls have been
made upon this Office for new cour-
ses of study this year. We feel
that some of our teachers last year
were careless or negligent in this
particular. The course of study
is the property of the school, and
should be left in care of the dist.
riot clerk at the close of the school
year. 1t ia the clerks duty to see
that all school property is left in
his care at the end of the year and
he should attend to this matter be-
fore making final settlement with
the teacher.
Preparedness" is popular
term heard in almost every line of
work at the present time. Nowhere
is this term more applica BILE than
in the teaching profession. Can.
didates for teaching positions
should know that they can not
hope to succeed if they are to wait
until the last moment before at
tempting to qualify. The writer
maintains that the really success.
full teacher plans her campaign
weeks and even months before the
opening day of her school.
At this season of the year il is a
good policy for teachers to consult
the statements found upon the back
of their certificates. Teaching of
ninth grade subjects by holders of
certificates whose rank is below
that of the regular five year state,
or provisional state, is prohibited
by law.
| Teachers should see to it that
their certificates are indorsed in
this coanty for the current year.
Why not attend to it before being
asked by the county superintend.

We hear many protests against
compulsory arbitration, but are
not our courts a species of compul-
sorry arbitration When individ-
uals differ it is made a crime for
them to attempt a settlement by
force. They must submit their
differences to court and abide by
the decision. What is justice to
individuals should be justice to
combinations of individuals.

EDITORIAL COMMENT

Congress ylelded 20 the Dig
stick" and last Saturday passed
the eight hour law as applied to
employees on transportation lines,
and as a result the big strike was
called off. millions for defense
but not cent for tribute" is sen.
timent that this country has en-.
dorsed for many years, but we now
seem to have adopted a policy of
paying any old tribute necessary to
avoid a strife. The law goes into
effect January first 1917 and pro.
vides that eight hours shall be the
standard day, with pro rata pay
for overtime. A commission is to
be appointed to Investigate the
effects of the eight hour plan and
report its findings not earlier than
six months nor more than nine
months. These features of the law
are not Objectionable. The oh.
jectionable feature is the provision
that pending the report of this COM
mission the men shall not receive
less for the eight hour day than
they are now receiving for the ten
hour day, and pro rata pay for ell
over time beyond eight hours.
This, in effect means that congress
has decreed, without any investiga.
tion of the merits of the case, and
simply at the demand of the men,
that the companies shall pay their
men twenty per cent more wages
than they have been paying. There
is very little question but that this
extra expense will be passed on to
the general public through an in.
crease in freight rates, and the
pablic is therefore forced by their
representatives in congress to pay
tribute to the railroad motherhood,
and this without regard to it's JUS
tice, but simply in obedience to
their command. Then there is no
assurance that any final settlement
has been effected. If the report of
Of The commission shall be unsatis.
factory to the brotherhoods we
shall have the same conditions
confronting US again, and encour-
aged by this victory, we shall have
q still more arrogant demand to
consider. Another unfortunate
feature is thatit has set a prece.
dent for other unions. We pass
no judgment on the merits of the
demands made by the men; that
is a question to be determined by
investigation, but their refusal to
submit their case to arbitration is
not creditable to their sense of jus.
tice, and the servile surrender of
the president and congress is hu.
initiating. The bill was passed by
almost straight party vote, only
two democrats in the senate voting
against it and one republican for
is. In justice to the men it must
be said that many of them were
not in sympathy with the methods
pursued by their unions and had
the strike been ordered would have
refused to follow the coercive tac-
tics of their leaders.

tons are nearing cmpletion for the
Harry SPANIEL trial, which is dock
eted to take place at the fall term
of court converting here this month.
The trial promises to be one of the
most notable ever held in this sec

SPANIEL is under indictment for
first degree murder, growing out of
the killing of Lieut.. Col. M. C. But
Ter, u. S. A., and Mrs. SPANIEL, wife
OF the indicted man. The two vic
TINS of the tragedy were shot and
killed while riding with Spaniel in

Jealousy is the motive believed to
have been responsible for the double
killing. SPANIEL was the proprietor
of local hotel where Lieut. Col But
Ter and Mrs. Butler were guests. The
two families were on terms of init
mate friendship.

HURRAH! PONY SHOW
COMES ON SATURDAY
Riddles Happy in Anticipation OF

Pine Bluff kiddies are glad-tickled

show, On September 90
The little folks have already studied
the calendar, and they have found to
their great joy, that Sept. 90 will fall
On a Saturday this ysar. And this is
most important point, because
schools open Sept. IS, and many little
folks would have missed a chance to
see the show and the street parade,
otherwise.
The first advance car of the Gentry
shows visited Pine Bluff several days
ago, and the second arrived early this
morning. The show is coming right
along behind these cars, and Pine
Bluff Riddles who are wise are al
ready saving their nickles and pen
mics, that they may see the show and
have some change with which to buy
pink lemonade, popcorn and other
such delicacies.
