Is this plank in his platform, just
to get him into office? Or is he an
election-day convert to Lincoln's de-
claration that this is a government
of the people, by the people and for
the people-and not for the corpora
tions and trusts thru and by virtue
of technical court rulings?

prove himself "big" man-"the

SPEAKING OF JUDGE

very pertinent things from among
q thousand that might properly be
said that genetleman's failures when
opportunity to do big things was be.
fore him. The Eagle says:
In Office and Gettin' In
James F. Ailshie has announced
his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for the office OF
United States senator. Mr.. Ailshie
is gentleman Of polished speech and
great personal charm. He sat upon
the bench of the supreme court OF
Idaho for a number of years-re.
signing therefrom to become candi-
date for the senatorship four years
ago in violation of the plain provi-
sion Of the constitution forbidding a
judge of the Supreme Court from be-
coming candidate for any other Of
fee during the term for which he
was elected Judge. He was dis
astrously beaten-but his itch for
office was not cured. As Judge he
was mediocre. He drew his salary
regularly and voted uniformly with
the other judges as to which attorney
in given case had presented the
greatest array OF anti-diluvian pre-
cedents for illogical application to
the particular case "up" for decision.
So far as we have heard, he never
upset a bad precedent; he never dis
regarded corrupt court finding; he
never broke a senseless legal form
to do justice to an injured litigant;
he never cut the. Gordian Knot of
technicality that equity might pre-
vail; he never announced funda-
mental principle of justice nor wrote
decision, contrary to precedent, the
basis of which is that law is the
rule of right"
The monoplies enjoyed by "big
business and by corporations are
founded on Court decisions more
than on statute law. The people had
and still have the right to control
and supervise the trusts" and pub
lie utilities, except as that right is
denied them by politically ambitious
judges. Ailshie seems to know that
fact. In his announcement for the
U. s. senatorship he says:
II am in favor of state develop
ment and control of our unused
water power and such stringent con-
troll and supervision of the business
and operation. of the power trust as
will insure fair treatment and .rea-
sonable rates to the people served
by it," tI ze.a
But why limit such control and
supervision" to the power trust?"
Why muzzle one mad-dog and allow
a score of others to run amuck-
licensed, as it were by the court de-
cisions to "bite" whom they may?
Will Judge Ailshie or his friends
point us to a decision of his, during
all the years he was a judge of the
Supreme Court, wherein he used the

FOOD IN
; BATTLE

A military expert once sagely OBJ.
served that an army fights upon its
stomach and the observation may be
set down as correct, for half-fam-
ished soldiers could not in the very
nature of things stand up against
well-fed men of an opposing force.
The government at Washington has
provided vast quantities of food of
all kinds that can be used by our
boys in France and General Pershing
and the officers who have to do with
the distribution of rations are see
ing to it that the fighting men of the
U. S, have NELL filled stomachs
all the time. In the old days SOL
dier went into battle with water
pouch. The fighter of today also
in his canteen and bareback in his
carries supply of water and hard
tack with him. The water is needed
at all times, but the jaw-breaking
crackers are not relied upon to any
extent and are used only in case Of
dire emergency.
At least this is the way it looks to
US when we read Of the battle now in
progress on the western front. BE-
hind the advancing trops came Amer
lean trucks loaded with chocolate, to-
bacco and various foodstuffs," says
the story. "These went back and
forth steadily. Other trucks went
from place to place providing food
stuffs and water for the Americans
who are to follow their advancing
comrades" Many innovations are
made possible by the use of motor
trucks and the feeding of the Ameri-
cans while engaged in battle is one
of them. In a limited way such
things may have been attempted be-
fore, but it has been left for our COM
missary people to set the pace in
furnishing food for troops under the
changed conditions of modern war
fare. We take great pride in the
spirit shown by our boys when the
order to go forward is given. But
we also take pride in the men of
other branches of the service whose
work is the welfare and comfort of
those who do the actual fighting.
We also give great credit to the
Red Cross, the Knights of Columbus,
the Y. M. c. A., the Salvation army
and other tireless workers behind
the lines who provide Ravens of rest
for the weary soldiers as they pass
to and fro and supply them with food
drink and tobacco. Never before in
the history of the world has there
been such an exhibition of brotherly |
love and kindness ad we wish to add |
eli
men who minister to the wants of |
our brave lads are in imminent dan
ger of death even behind the lines. |
