1 Iagogue and the socialist toateach eco
nomic problems, while our politicians
have talked buncombe' =.
Judge Bruce said:
"A government by law has as its
foundation respect for its admins
traitors. There can never be any large
respect for the American Judge and
for the administrators Of the law as
long as judicial primary elections
exist, and in every one of them every
4 lawyer, no matter how incompetent,
Ills willing to throw his hat, and as a
Ecandidate for office not long since
said There are SO many damn fools
running that, although wnow is am
not we'll fitted, / might just as well
take the chance myself There can
be no such respect, and as long as
candidates for that office resort to
the methods Of demag0gue and Of the
ward healer This system compels
1.-THE judges who are already OH the
bench to beg for votes, and no judicial
officer who does so can be respected.
"The honorable refuse to do this,
and in most instances the honorable
fail OF reelection. Something, in
deed, is wrong when judges like
Cooley in Michigan, and Mitchell and
IStark in Minnesota, and McClain In
Iowa and Fisk in North Dakota are
driven from the bench A member
of congress, who after all is merely
a representative and who is expected
to carry out the popular will can do
these. things, He can argue policies
on the rostrum, on the stump, and
may promise to carry them out. He
can dissertate at great length upon
the achievements of himself and of his
party. He can, pledge and he can
promise. The judge, however, can
promise nothing. His opinions are
misquoted and distorted by his antag-
onists, yet he has no means Of de-
Tense. How can he ask men to sup
port him and to. work for him, who,
during the next month or year may
have law suits in his court. which he
must decide as an impartial Judge?
The Congressman may with a meas
ure of personal honesty, stick by his
friends and supporters and be loyal
to them. The judge must have no
friends. Justice should be blind.
Foes Of Democracy @
1--WE must not allow the modern
system of primary elections which
was instituted for the purpose of pro-
noting democracy to destroy democ-
.racy. We must not stand idly by and
allow the damagogues or the moral
weaklings in our order, we should
have no demagogues> and no moral
weaklingss to be elected to judicial
office by appealing to the popular
prejudice, and by campaigns of mis-,
representation and Of falsehood. We
cannot allow that to generally happen
which happened some years ago in
North Dakota, where a judge was de-
feated of reelection largely by the
means OF spreading broadcast an al
legged report of q judicial decision in
which the constitutional provision
which was passed upon was entirely
misquoted, nor can we allow candi-
dates for judicial office TO 60 before
factions and conventions and pledge

circulation, according to a dis.
patch to the press at Amster-

gandists among the men melted
sailors about to leave. on sub
marine curises to attack their Of Z
ficers or to seek an opportunity
to sink their boats and get them-

TWenty-three of the finglead-

fenced to death. Many others
have been arrested at Kiel, and
elsewhere, it is added. sa l
The, correspondent who sends
the report admits that the
stories are conflicting and the
facts difficult TO ascertain.
The men behind the. move
ment, the, account states, are
revolutionary sailors, who for
some time past have been con-
Quoting propaganda with the
object Of stopping the submarine
war because Of the increased
dangers.
The recent resignation Of Ad-

scandal. Emperor William, sitsis
added, has abandoned ansintend-

TO cater ito the popular demand for

Interestingly discussed in three re-.
markably timely addresses which feat.
Iured the annual banquet OF the North

Pacific hotel Tuesday evening.
The speakers were former Chief

Fargo. Their audience were members
Of the North Dakota Bar association
from all parts Of North Dakota and a
few visiting barristers from adjoining
states.
: Powers Of Congress.
Judge Fisk, the first speaker Of the
evening, was called upon to discuss
."'The Police Powers OF Congress-
something( he declared at the outset,
which did not exist. He quoted the re-
cent decision, Of the United States SUI

powers except such as were confer
red upon the national administration
by the various sovereign states, and
that these limited police powers deal
solely with the government Of the DIS

ed only IL ratified by majority OF
the states, as proof that the nation.
must derive its police powers. even In

tendency Of Lawmakers to usurp pow

bestow. He spoke of the situation
NOW prevailing in our own state,
where there Is a determined effort to.
"brush aside the work Of our fore.

CALLED PRO-CERMAN,
sues FOR 100000
AVALONS FARMS co. FILES A
SUIT FOR LIBEL IN u. S. COURT
AGAINST MOULTRIE FIRM.

Alleging that the defendants pub
llshed and circulated a pamphlet in
which they state that the officers of
the plaintiff are pro-Germans, the
Avalons Farms Co., of Chicago, ILL.,,
through its southern representative,
Thomas Reed, of Atlanta, have filed
a suit in the United States district
court for 100000 for libel against
the Swine-Elixir Co., of Moultrie,
and w. c. Perry, of cambridge.
The alleged circular the plaintiff
refers to is reproduced in the petit
ton for libel. 1t is as follows:
For your information | wish to
advise you that Hog-Tone, a medicine
for hogs, and widely advertised by
the Avalons Farms Co., with offices N
Chicago, IS no more or less than my
Perry's Swine-Elixir for hog troubles.
This Avalons Farms Co. is com
posed of S. A. Norman, H. Vando-
names.

manipulated plans to steal the for
mula of my Perry's Swine-Elixir

They played the usual German
trick of gaining my confidence and

tons on their part as a scrap of pa
per and are invading this territory
with extensive advertising, to acquire
the patronage l am enjoying. in at

SPOT COTTON aims
AT ACCENT LEVEL
QUOTATIONS RISING STEADILY
IN SOUTHERN CENTERS OF
STAPLE. SMALL STOCKS.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Spot cotton now
seems to be headed definitely toward
forty cents pound, or thereabout.
This is interesting, in view of the fact
that there is prospect of considerable
hold-over from the crop of last year,
and also of a larger crop this year
than usual. The Atlanta market,
which is now about on a par with
the other southeastern markets, has
been steadily rising, with only an oc-
caslonal and almost . insignificant
backset, for some two weeks.
1t is reported that the spots that
have come into sight are growing
scarcer every day. At the same time
sales in considerable quantities con-
tInue to be reported from New Or
leans, Atlanta, Augusta, Little Rock
and Norfolk. The largest number of
bales sold in any one city in a day is
reported from New Orleans; the num-
Der of bales was 2,033. That holders
are showing signs of loosening is
probably due to 1919 crop prospects,
higher prices and patriotism.
The department of agriculture of
the several cotton states will develop
plans, when the official marketing
board meets in New Orleans, for sell
ing the 1919 and subsequent crop of
cotton in limited lots. It is likely
that 20 per cent of the total crop
will be disposed of each month to take
care of distress cotton and to insure
something like stable market the
season through.
The cotton mills of the Southeast
are just now facing a serious situa-
ton because of the general exodus
of workers to other industries and to
government works. 1t is estimated
that South Carolina alone has lost,
since 1917, no, less than 10 per cent.
of her operatives. Many of the south
eastern mills have doubled wages in
the effort to hold their skilled work
ers; but still they go.

SENATE INCLUDES WOMEN

Men and Women Must Work Five

ATLANTA, Ga.-"Let the women
also do the work." was the conclu-
sion reached by the Georgia senate
when it passed the "work or fight"
bill by vote of 80 to 1. BY amend
ment adopted by the senate women
were included as we'll as men and the
time required was fixed at five and
one-half days each week instead of
five days as in the original bill.
Senator Wohlwender, of the TWEEN
ty-fourth, objected to certain feat
ure of the measure and sought to
amend it by providing that persons
against whom it is made operative
must first be tried and convicted of
idling and lettering before being
forced to work. His amendment was
lost Senator T. A. Brown was the
only member who opposed the entire
bill and voted against it.

LEGISLATORS WOULD
QUAFF LlTHLA WATER
BUT WATCHDOG HALL GOT IN
ACTION AND SOUELCHED
MOVEMENT QUICKLY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Having reduced
Or elevated-the good city of At
lanta to plain water as a beverage
the state general assembly contains
at least IS members in the lower
house who adorn the legislative rec
ord as being dissatisfied with the
quality of the water Atlanta has to
drink.
Messrs. Ayers, of Jackson, and
DuBose, of Clarke, were the primari-
ly displeased members. They intro
duced a resolution to provide lithia
water for the legislature to consume
while engaged in it's dry delibera-
lions. The city water was bad, they
had heard. 1t would not do for Wis
iting sOlons.
Mr.. Arnold, of Clay, vociferously
declined to let the states money be
turned into water, because, he said,
it is a waste, and anyway the whole
thing is just some mineral water con-
Germs scheme to make a sale.
When the argument had steamed
up to considerable heat the Hon. Joe
Hill Hall made a speech.
"The Atlanta drinking water is all
right" he said, in part. "Those who
don't like it had better go home"
He asked Mr.. Ayers if he would
not preferably agree to a substitute
motion that the legislature adjourn
and reconvene in Macon and leave
the Chattahoochee and the lithia
water over here, which brought a
storm of applause from all over the
house.
When it came to a vote the lithia
proposition lost.
