NO RIGHT 10 RESIST.

The supreme court of New Jersey
has rendered a decision that ought
to rejoice the hearts Of pacifiss. It
lays down the principle of non-resist t.
ance as the legal rule of conduct, in
case Of assault
The decision concerns the case of a
defendant sentenced to long peni-
Tertiary term for shooting a man
who attacked him. The defendant
pleaded that he had shot purely in
self-defense, and was therefore JUST.
fed.
In sustaining the verdict of the
trial court, Chief Justice Gummere
said:
A person upon whom an assault
is made, SO violent in it's character
as to endanger his life, or threaten
him with serious bodily injury, is not
justified or excusable in standing his
ground and killing his assailant if he
can avoid the impending danger by
retreating."
In other words, when a citizen is
attacked, he should not stand his
ground and fight to defend his rights
or punish the violator of them-he
should run away, leaving his assai
ant in possession of the field
According to this ruling, Belgium
was much to blame for resisting the
Germans.
1t may be good morals. II may
even be good law-at least, in New
Jersey. But how many American cit
liens would act on it? And how
many American iuries would con
denim man for refusing to act or
it?

SPIRIT BOYCOTT,

One Of the first yelps OF lost
cause is Boycott g.. an
1t is the weapon after every other
defense fails. Some soft-headed
readers try to intimidate "A paper by
canceling the subscription.
Fortunately these weaklings are in
the minority. Practically every daily
paper in the state, as well as many
weeklies, have been threatened with
boycott unless they wheeled in line
and swallowed the Socialistic doe
lrines of the NonDartisan league.
The willy and sleek nonresident
leaders Of this organization who will
not be able TO vote in the June prim-
aries, know that their success de-
pends upon the. silence of the press.
They hope to muZzle every editor by
threats, invective and vituperation.
In common with most of it's con-
cmporaries, The Tribune refuses to
be scared. Not one subscription has
been cancelled because of our atti-
tnde; in fact, our circulation gains
have been such as to encourage a
fearless attitude against the black.
mailing policy of the coterie of Paci-
nc coast Socialists, who hope to
gather up the reins of government
next November.
Men who tear down the Stars and
Stripes and trample upon them; who
revile our ideals and abuse our in
stitutiOns are not worthy of any con.
sideration. Republicans who f1irt
with such influences should feel the
sting of defeat at the June primaries.
Such treachery to their party princi-
pies can receive no better rebuke.
The big Five of Spokane" have no
terrors for us. We have only kind
ly feeling for the many good farmers,
members of this league, who for the
time are caught by the bait dangled
in front of them.
Politics has it's epidemics. The
Non-partisan league is merely a dis
ease which time will cure.
No great party was ever built by
leaders who depended for success
upon abuse, boycott and blackmail.

IMPORT PROBLEMS.

When is an agricultural implement
not an agricultural implement? And
the answer is, when it's spade
Anyhow, the board of general ap
praisers of the United States customs
service has not been able to con-
vince itself that imported spades
come under the agricultural imple-
ments" designation, which would en-
title them to enter duty-free. And
certain simple-minded souls in the
Middle West who ordered lot of
spades from abroad are sorely puz-
zled. The thing that keeps the board
from interpreting the law in com
nonsense way is the haunting sus-
picion that spades might be used for
digging subways instead Of gardens.
AT every turn the appraisers are
stumped by new problems. Toys are

Frankness with tke public in all

"The old attitude of concealment
is rapidly giving way before new
appreciation by health departments
of the value of frankness in han-
ding epidemics,', said DR.. Carrick.
He referred to the recent epidemic
of polioInyelitis in New York City
as an example. Tie srankness and
fairness of Health Commissioner
Emerson had three results. said DR..
Carrick. 1t resulted in hundreds of
unknown cases being reported. 1t
caused unusual care on the part of
parents. IT won the confidence of
the public, who accepted all an
nouncements of the health depart
ment as authoritative and conclusive.
Epidemies, he said. are like COM
pressed air in a tank. One may keep
the air in the tank up to certain
point. Then the tank will burst
The greater the pressure, the louder
