Dabbling with the Courts.

One of the state papers credited the
st. Johnsbury Republican with the sug-
gestion that the superior judges be
merged with the supreme court, not
to exceed nine in number, and the sbol-
ishment of the municipal courts. The sug-
gestion was made by the Caledonian, and
the Republican comes back at it in this
manner:
"The Republican never made any such
foolish suggestion. We do not believe
in it. We believe the judicial machin-
cry of this state is in pretty good run
ming order as it is and should not be dab
bled with at every session of the legis-
lature."
Regarding the fear of dabbling with
the courts at each session of the legis-
lature we would simply call attention to
the fact there has been no session of the
legislature in recent years that acts have
not sbeen passed to increase the number
of Judges or establish municipal court
with a new Judge. The Republican may
name one if it can. 1t would appear
that dabblng with the courts is not
dangerous so long as it gives more jobs
to lawyers, but is undesirable whenever
the people want to rearrange matters to
get more for their money.
Perhaps it will be well to compare the
cost of courts in Vermont with some
other states. The Financial Statistics
of States" for 1915 issued by the cen
sus bureau shows the costs of courts in
Vermont with an estimated population
of 36l ,s2s. for that year to be s292,57s;
in New Hampshire with a population of
ass. .02l. s7l,7l5; in Maine with a popu-
lation of 762,7s7, $50 2,067; in Minnesota
with a population of 2200, ,235, S249, lag.
These figures Indicate a need on the
part of the voters to dabble little with
the Vermont courts.-St. Johnsbury Cal

DIR. H. |. FISHERS RE.
 GENES APPOINTMENT
Penitentiary Controversy Set tled-B'Shers Succeeds Fer gusOn, Who Resigns-GOver- nor Retains Bradsher.

Little Rock, May 26-The Peni- tentiary Commission row has been settled. J. V. Ferguson, of Lonoke county, has resigned, in view of the fact that he had been advised that the governor is sole judge of the cause of removal, and that, in the opinion of MT. Ferguson, the Governors mind had already been made up. That the administration of the affairs of the institution might not be hampered and handicapped by controversy of uncertain termination, he considered it best that he tender his resignation, so that the governor might appoint some friend whose views would be in accordance with his own.
 The governor accepted the resigna- tion, and appointed H. L. B'Shers, former county judge of Hampstead county, as his successor, effective May 1, when MT. Ferguson retires from the office.
 At the same time, the governor an- nounced that "after serious consider ation given to the interest of the penitentiary and the good of the state," he had decided to retain J. A.. Bradsher on the Commission.
 It had been quite generally agreed that the members of the Commission had no legal recourse beyond the gov ernor, and that there was no tribunal that could review the record that had been made in the investigation.

DEMOCRATIC STATE
 CONVENTION MAY 3I
Declare Nominations and Write Platform - Elect Chairman. Secretary and Members Gen. tral Committee.

The Democratic state convention will convene in Little Rock Wednes- day, May 31. The duties of the con- vention have become largely perfume tory since nominations, and even na- tional delegates and committeeman have been left to the selection of the people.
 The convention will declare the nominations, will write a platform, and will elect chairman, secretary and members of the State Central Com mittee. It is also planned that the convention shall pass strong reso- lution endorsing Woodrow Wilson for re-nomination. There is strong and growing sentiment here in favor of the endorsement of Gov. Elliott w. Major of Missouri for the Vice Presi- dency.
 And this brings up another inter- esting point. What power has the convention to instruct delegates elect ed by the people, and in no wise an- swerable to the convention? It is held in some quarters that the dele gates must go uninstructed, and that they cannot be required even to vote as unit, unless they agree to do so.
 The delegation that will represent Arkansas at the National Convention in St. Louis, June IA, consists of the following:
 At large-W. V. Powell, w. G. Hut ton, W. H. Arnold, Jerry c. South.
 District delegates-J. M. Jackson, Peter A. Diesch, M. M. Stuckey, Gus tave Jones, V. C. Bratton, R. R. Thompson, w. B. Conway, Claude Thompson, J. C. Ross, W. T. Wool dridge. W. V. Tompkins and Geo. P George.
 Tom Poe, of Little Rock, delegate from the Fifth District, is said by those who have investigated, to be the youngest delegate ever elected to a National convention. He is only 23 years old.

LATEST NOTE OF EN-
 GLAND MADE PUBLIC
Note Says Allies Will Find Way to Minimize Delays, Pledge Allies to Make Restraints on Trade Less BurdensOme.

Washington, April 25.-The latest British note in answer to the Ameri- can protest against allied interference with neutral trade, made public to- night by the state department, con- tends that the practices complained of are judicially sound and valid and that the relief which neutrals seek is rather to be obtained by the miti- gation of necessary hardships than by abrupt changes either in theory or application of policy based on admitted principles of international law carefully adjusted to the altered conditions of modern warfare"
 It discloses that "an impartial and influential commission" has been ap- pointed to find ways to minimize de- lays and pledges the allies to make their restraints on trade as little burdensome to neutrals as possible.
 The note reiterates the military necessity of regulating commerce to neutrals contiguous to Germany and justifies the effectiveness of the blockade challenged by the last Amer ican note. More diplomatic cores pondence over the issue is expected. The note suggests the American com plaint is not so much that shipments intercepted really are intended for use in the European neutral countries to which dispatched as that the dis patch of. goods to Great Britain's ene- mics had been frustrated by methods not hitherto employed by belliger- ents.
 The note argues the impossibility of making searches at sea for various reasons, among which are weather, the size of modern steamships and the manner in which contraband has been concealed. The report from Admiral Sir John Jellico, commander of the grant fleet, is included. It sums up the circumstances which it is contended work for less hardship
 
 for search instead of searching them at sea, besides the added danger of submarine attack while the search is in progress. The note adds that a further reason for bringing ships into harbor is the necessity of close ex- animation of all suspected persons l., ,ol, l,, do, hxyt hn German practice of misusing United States passports to procure safe con- duct for military persons and agents"
 As in a previous note in answer to the contention that commerce of the United States is being destroyed, figures issued by the United States of commerce are quoted to show that exports to the Scandi- navian countries and Holland in- creased from $97 100000 in 1913 to $235, 100000 in 1915.
 "In the fact of such figures" says the note, "it seems impossible to ac- cept the contention that the prize court procedure has practically des- troyed much of the export trade of the United States to neutral coun- tries in Europe and it is suggested that if complaints have been made to Washington by would-be exporters they emanated not from persons who desired to engage in genuine com merce with the neutral countries, but from those who desired to dispatch goods to the enemy under cover of neutral destinations"
