THE FRO FORMA DECISION ON

From the New York SUI.
Some of the most firmly established
principles of American legal prece-
dure have been conspicUousiy violated
IN the disposition of the litigation in.

stitut'onality OF The Adamson eight
hour labor law.
In the first place, the judgment is
only prO fOrma decision IL is not
the outcome Of careful and deliberate
judicial consideration. In the case
dec dcd in the United States District
Court by Judge Hook there Is no pre-
tence that the decision represents the
result Of any serious Thought upon the
momentOus question involved. Il is
avOwedly a hasty judgment rendered
forthwith upon the presentation OF
the case. because the Department Of
Justice desired % get It before tho
Supreme Court at Washington as
speedily as possible
The motive of the Attorney
is natural, but il has carried him too
far when he insists upon a decis' on in
the court OF frs, instance when is
only a decision in form. II has here
toioro been an invariable rule in APP
pellate courts that they viii review
only actual determinations Of the
courts below, not fictit Gus judgments,
rendered solely TO expedite appeals.
This rule is based upon substantial
grounds. The parties to litigation
are entitled 10 the carefully consld-
cred judgment OF the trial court. not

the appellate tribunal in all matters

Here, however, we have the unpre-
cedented spectacle OF a Federal Judge

susceptible Of any reasonable con-
structon which will uphold its valid
ty, it is the duty OF the courts thus
TO construe IL. Admitting that it is
important that a review OF the eight
hour law by he Supreme Court should
be expedited and therefore that a
speedy decision in the District Court
was desirable. the District Judge, IL
he had to jump at a conclusion, should
have acted upon the presumption in
favqOr Of the constitutionality Of the
law and pronounced it valid.
The methods adopted in getting the
courts to pass upon the AdamsOn law
are almost as bad as the methods used
to compel Congress to pass It. We
shall be surprised if they receive the
approval Of the Supreme Court OF the
United States.

FARMERS IGNORED

Don't forget Mr., Farmer, that

WHAT DID you oGTf
Through all the years since 1854
the Republican Party was deaf and
blind to the farmer's financial needs.
This In the face OF the fact that sue
oessful systema Of eurHl Credits were
In operation throughout Europe for q
century, When this great Democratic
measure waa put to vote In the Sem
ate on May 4, 1910, only five Re-
publieans dared vote against lti Three
of them were on the sub-committee
who wrote the Republican Platform
of 1910.
Was II because You were not Big
Interesta1 You were, many Of you,
highly financed and High Finance
held the mortgage TO that extent
you belonged to High Finance. But
you paid big interest to associate with
big interests. A stack of wheat
wasn't as good collateral M q sbeaf

give you financial Justice, They were

THE PROMISES OF THE DEMO-

with sympathetic understanding Of
the needs Of every honest American
