duct. The courts cannot be substitute
ed for administrative agencies
The tendency in legislation to deny
judges authority such as restricting the
freedom Of judge in instruceing a
jury ''betrays a regrettable distrust,"
the justice declared.
There can be no respect for the law
without competent administration and
there can he no competent administra-
ton without adequate power" he de-
cidred. we shall never rise 70 cur op-
porlunitits in this country and secure
proper discharge of the public bus
mess until We get over our dislike of
experts; and the difficulties in the way
OF needed Improvements in the admin
istration Of justice will not be over
come by tying the hands of those most
competent TO deal with them.''
Speaking of reform Of legal proceed
ure, the justice characterized the
network of legislative rules and prac.
tice" in New York as a reproach to the
state
THE remedy, 1 believe, is to replace
these rules with a few statutory pro.
visions forming the basis of procedure
leaving all the details to be supnlied
by rules of court"

WASHINGTON. JAM 1.-THE farmer VINO
wishes to sell his products by parcei
post. and the housewife who wishes to
use this method Of securing country pro-
duce for her table, will find many use1ui
points in Farmers Bulletin lQ3, Sugges-
tons for Parcel Post Marketing. Inls
bulletin, in addition to explaining the
postal rates and measurement limits LOT
parcel post matter, discusses IN some &C.
tail the types of containers which are
most successful and the methods OF
grading and packing produce, SO that II
will reach the consumer in GOOD conoi-
ton. and be attractive in quality and ap-
pearance. In treating standards for par
eel post shipments. the bulletin tells now
to select, handle and pack poultry, ana
how to grade and pack the various fruits
and vegetables which the average farmer
is likely to market through the postofflce
The bulletin points out that one of the
common obstacles to establishing parcel
post communication between farmer and
consumer is that the farmer may be un-
willing 10 offer goods at a price which
attracts the customer, or that the con-
sumner may offer price lower than the
farmer can obtain at local market. 10
. quote the bulletin
Not only must the farmer have some
thing additional to the usual price to
compensate him for the extra work. con-
tainer. and postage required, but the
consumer must also have something to
attract him to marketing by parcel post

SUGGESTIONS AS TO MAR
KETINC BY PARCEL POST

In determining what the price shall oe'
both the farm price and the retail price
paid by the consumer when he markets
in the ordinary way should be taken INTO
consideration. The consumer must re-
ceiye either a better article at the usual
retail price or an article OF the grade
usually purchased at some concession IN
price.
ut is probable that the point Which
will make the strongest appeal to the
average consumer is that he can secure
by parcel post fresher, brighter, more
attractive, and thus possibly better
product than he can obtain otherwise.
1.-The average producer. as a rule
does not realize the importance OF APP
pearance as factor in selling goods and
frequently is careless and indifferent IN
preparing produce for market. The con-
sumner. on the other hand. relies very
largely upon appearance in selecting fooo
supplies, and unattractive articles are
passed by promptly
"a personal acquaintance should De
established between producer and con-
sumner. when they come into business
contact. This will help a great deal in
furthering parcel post marketing, and
. also will eliminate many of the misun-
derstandings which may occur from tune
to time, A definite understanding Shout
! exist as to the duties of each in regard
| to remittances, claims for damaged OF
! spoiled produce, and the preservation and
! return of containers"

Justice Hughes also deprecated 1.-THE

but to translate an accepted principle
into regulations wisely adapted to par
ticular cases, required an experienced
body sitting continuously and removed
50 far as possible from the blandish-
rncnts and intrigues of politics. This
administrative type is not essentially
new ir itself, but the extension Of its
use in State and Nation. constitutes a
new departure.
The ideal which has been esented
in justification of these new agencies,
and that which alone holds promise Of
benefit rather than Of hurt to the COM
munity, y the ideal Of special knowl-
edge, fexibility, disinterestedness and
sound judgment applying broad legis-
lative principles that are essential to
the protection OF the community, and
OF every useful activity affected, to
the intricate situations created by ex-
banding enterprise.
Justice Hughes took up our dual
system" OF commerce regulation-State
and Federal-which had enormously in
creased, he said, the difficulty and i'm
pOrtance Of the work OF the courts as
interpreters Of laws. He cited the m

state field. 1t is the problem Of many
governments in one nation, dealing
with portions of an activity which has
economic unity
1t was necessary, he said, to preserve
the essential elements Of both State
and Federal governments. without
permitting necessary local autonomy
to be destroyed by the unwarranted
assertion Of federal power, and without
allowing state action to throw out of
gear the requisite machinery for unity
Of control in national concerns
This" he said, demands far more
careful efforts in cooperation than we
have hitherto put FORTH
The speaker then dwelt upon the "ju-
dicial function in determining the
scope and validity Of state and federal
laws and said that important as this
function was, sit should not be over
burdened, nor should work be expected
Of it which should otherwise be per-
formed"
Very often" he said, the differ
ences that exist between State and
Federal laws governing different
are due more to accident or lack Of
forethought than to difference in DELHI
crate purpose. We have had in our
states too little regard for the remoter
and indirect consequences of legisla-
ton. There has been, perhaps, too
much thought Of questions Of abstract
power rather than Of its sagacious use
by those who after all must have a
common prosperity or none at all. Some
progress, very gratifying, has been
made toward unifying our commercial
law by the enactment Of Uniform Acts
in many states. relating to negotiable
instruments, warehouse receipts, bills
Of lading and sales.
But nothing could be more lamenta-
BILE, he continued, in the enactment of
uniform state laws, formulated with
| the purpose Of unifying the commercial
law Of the country. than to treat the
Uniform Act as an outgrcwth Of the
| separate law Of the state and through
conflicting interpretations to create a
| new diversity in place Of desired unity.
| 1t calls for a statemanlike appreciation
| Of past, present and future through
which alone the Judge can discharge
his responsibilities as the interpreter
| Of legislation in the expanding life of
| democracy"
| AS to legislation affecting the
| courts, he declared that the tendency
to thrust administrative duties upon
them Undoubtedly arises from a dis
trust Of powerful administrative
agencies: 1t shows desire to escape
their authority. and to have the judy
ment Of judicial tribunals, with whose
standards the public Is familiar, in the
! final decision Of difficult administra-
| tive problems. It seems to me to be the
| wrong way to reach the right result.
To put upon the courts the burden of
considering the details of administra-
| tive problems would be to overwhelm
them. IL cannot be too strongly insist
| ed that II we are to have these import
ant administrative instrumentalities
properly perform their duty, they
should stand on their own footing, and
that the public should realize that their
safeguard is not in injecting the courts
| into the work of administration, to the
confusion Of both. but in maintaining
an enlightened policy and in insisting
upon proper standards Of official con-

THE SPRINGFIELD
SPIRIT

In today's paper is another news
item indicating that the people OF
Springfield have caught the spirit of
community interest and community
activity. The ladies giving "mys-
terry supper" ought to get the full
lineup of population for the event,
especially in view of the fact that
the proceeds of the evenings enter
tainment are to be used for civic
improvement.
1t has come to the attention of
the public that they have banished
what educators regard as one of the
worst evils of the public schools
the cold lunch, by installing some
cooking utensils and conducting do
nestle science work at the lunch
hour. 1t is very successful at the
Springfield school, but a failure at
a neighboring school to which the
local club women presented a similar
cooking outfit. Evidently there is a
difference in the two communities or
in the teachers.

A MEDICINE MAN DEAD

Which tells the truth about the
weather, the United States weather
bureau or the Indian dancing club?
We all remember the bad storm
we had last January and the most
Of February. The weather bureau
made the forecast of coming storm
and we all know how the railroads
were blockaded with snow. We all
know that it was the result of GER
tain atmospheric conditions What
brought about the conditions that
caused the storm?
The Indian is not up on atmos-
pheric conditions, but he has his
theories and beliefs. The Indians
were in camp holding a dance, their
worship; they had been dancing for
some time; just before the big storm
they refused one night to go into
the tent and dance. The dance chief
told them there would be big storm
and their cattle would suffer. But
they would not dance. The next day
it began to snow and the dancing
chief told them they must dance un-
til the storm went away. The dance
began in earnest. The spirit or ghost
or coyote was pleased and the thaw
came. We all know the beautiful
wheather we had in February.
The sad death Of Charlie Tanner,
at Mt. Putnam, Indian and medicine
man, occurred. Nobody dares to
strike or throw stone against the
tent of medicine man; some boy
threw stone against Charles tent
and he died. Charlie was q good
Indian, who had many friends. We
hope that his death will teach boys |
not to throw stones at medicine |
mems tents.-Contributed.
