SUPREME COURT
Court Cases Heard by Associate
Justice Cornish at Tuesdays
Session-Divorce Cases Are
Considered

Court cases were heard by Associate
Justice Leslie c. Cornish at Tuesdays
session OF the Supreme court, portion
of which was also devoted to the con-
sideration of divorce cases.
In the first of these cases, that of
Clinton J. Cunningham, appellant from
the decree of the judge of probate,
Judge Cornish dismissed the appeal
and affirmed the decree of the probate
court. The case will go to the | aw
court upon an agreed statement of
facts for a determination of the con-
stitutionality of the law under which
the adoption was granted.
Mr.. Cunningham of Gardiner appeal
ed from the decree of the judge of pro-
bate in the matter of the adoption of
Baby" Cunningham. Benedict F. Ma
her of Augusta appeared for the appel
liant, Walter M. Sanborn of Augusta
for the Maine Children's Home So
ciety, the organization in the consent
of which the child was adopted, and
Sanford L. Fogg of Augusta for the
parties adopting the child, Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Savage of Augusta.
! Attorney Maher argued that without
the consent of the father there could
be no valid adoption of the child. The
consent in this case. he said, was
given by the superintendent of the
Maine Children's Home Society.
Judge Fogg stated that petition for
the adoption of the child, Baby" Cum
ningham, was filed, Nov. 5, 1915, by
Walter F. and Estelle E. Savage in the
probate court, also that the name of
the child should've changed to Sidney
E. Savage. He cited the decree of
Judge Lancaster of the Augusta mu-
nicipal court placing the custody of
the child in the Maine Children's Home
| Society until IS years of age. Mr..
Halves, the superintendent, assented to
the adoption in the name of the Maine

He also argued that this act was not

The last issue Of the Bridgton News
contained the following: 1.-THE hoodoo
which has followed the old lap streak
cedar canoe lately owned by w. T.
Johnson, now Of Augusta, has broken
out again. This time the hoodoo takes
a most peculiar shape and the canoe
has disappeared bodily. When it went
or where it went, nobody has been able
to determine. That 1t has gone, how
ever, Is an established fact. Fred o.
fene. assistant cashier Of the Bridgton
National Bank, was holding the canoe
in trust for Mr.. Johnson. He had 1t
moored in Stevens brook Just below the
Tannery bridge, and few days ago
when he went to look for 1t he found
that it had suddenly disappeared. The
police. however, have not been notified
as yet Of the matter. but Mr. Olfene
is making a still hunt for the craft and
It is inconceivable that it will not show
up in some form or other in a short
time, inasmuch as Mr. johnson, q for
mer owner. at one time tried in vain to

the child until he was brought into the
municipal court upon the charge that
he had cruelty treated the child. He al
so contended that the child never saw
the Maine Children's Home and stayed
where it was for several years until
the proceedings for adoption were be-
gun. He claimed that while the GUS
tody might be changed adoption could
not be granted except by consent of
the parent or of the next of kin.
Judge Fogg argued that the statutes in
the matter; wore both reasonable and con-
stitutionaL attorney Fogg represented
that no good could come from the upset
ting of the adoption and that it would
simply put the child back in the custo-
dy of the Maine Children's Home Society.
1t would also affect the custody in many
similar cases.
Among the spectators during the pro-
gress of the argument were Mrs. Ada F.
Hunt, agent for the protection of chill
dren; w. c. Halves, superintendent OF
the Maine Chldren's Home Society, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Savage. to whom
the adoption of the child was decreed by

FAILURE OF DIRECT PRIMARY
caldwell Tribune)

The primary election is over with
the utmost satisfaction to the candi-
dates who were nominated whatever
the unsuccessful ones may think about
1t and however the people may feel.
The cost to the people of Idaho has
been several thousand dollars A COM
paratively small percentage of the vot-
ers took the trouble to vote
We presume. that on the whole
fairly good candidates were placed in
nomination. The tickets will average
up about the same as in years gone by.
We do not believe that any one claims
that the candidates this year are any
better than were the candidates under
the old convention system. We do not
believe that any one will claim that we
are today getting better, more eco
nomical, more efficient or even more
representative government than we got
10 years ago. If the direct primary
system has not bettered conditions of
government of what use Is it? That
is the question the next legislature
should answer.
We have observed primary election
after primary election in hopes that
sooner or later the system would JUS
tify itself. The expense is small item
provided results accrue in some man
ner or other When the results do not
follow it is time that the taxpayers
look to the cost. A burdensome, ex-
pensive system should not be retained
year after year simply because some
body has said that that particular sys
TEN safeguards the interests of the
taxpayers when experiences show that
the statement is not true.

WILSON WAVES WHITE FLAG.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat)

Nol. lAOulS
The passage of the S-hour bill is the
most pusillanimous act in the history
of the American congress. We are un-
able to recall single instance when
the legislative body of the United
States government SO abjectly surren-
dered it's right of elaboration as it has
done in this case. Urged to immediate
action by frightened executive it has
rushed through legislation of the most
radical and revolutionary character
legislation that is probably, if not GER
tainly unconstitutional, without the
slightest effort having been made to
weigh its justice or injustice, without
the least consideration of it's possible
consequences. 1t is probably true that
by this act a public calamity has been
temporarily aVerted, but that does not
alter the fact that it has been done I'M
der duress, that the great government
of the United States has raised the
white flag without even a show of re-
sistance.
We say this in no spirit of opposi-
ton to the principle of the S-hour day.
Quite the contrary. But the right or
the wrong of the application of that
principle to the railway tralnmen is
at least debatable question. 1t may
prove to be beneficent in its operation,
but congress does not know this. Nor
does congress know that it will not
prove most disastrous in its applica-
ton. 1t is technical matter as to
which the ignorance of congress is as
profound as that of the public gener-
ally. Congress has made no effort to
inform itself 1t has not attempted to
investigate the merits of the case. It
has thrown up its hands. The provi-
sion for a post norton inquiry is
without significance. Whatever may
be the report of the commission the g.
hour law will stand undisturbed by
congress. That is kind of legislation
that is practically impossible to repeal
in democracy. The railroads may be
bankrupted by the act, the public may
have to pay tremendously for it's main
tenance, but it will continue in force,
unless the courts declare it unconstitu-
tional. That the courts will do so, be-
cause of the wage section, is quite
probable, but that prospect does not
relieve the congress of the responsible
ity for whatever consequences may
come from the establishment of this
precedent of hasty legislation under
