Impending Trial OF :; s

An element of fairness will BE pro-

Friends and advocates of a League

Whether or not such a courts may
come into existence in the near flu

unlikely that it will be considered.
TO a lay mind it would appear fair

THROWN OUT OF u

Justice Robinson Of the North Dakota Supreme Court
in one of those informal decisions of his which are al
ways interesting. rules out Of court-the Federal court
the case which has been brought by citizens of North Da-
kota TO restrain the state from carrying into effect some
OF last winters legislation at Bismarck. Justice Robinson
Is not a Federal judge, but a little matter like that does
not trouble him. He can pass upon Federal cases as
readily as upon any other. Judge Robinson holds that
the case in question. is outside the Jurisdiction Of the
United States courts. and in support of his optn1on he
quotes from the United States constitution, the bible. the
hymn book, and Lord Byron, surely an impressive list of
authorities. He is quite certain that the questions at is
sue are questions for the determination Of the state
courts, and not of the Federal courts. Had the matter
oeeh Drought in the state courts it would now be settled
providing Judge Robinson's colleagues agreed with him.
II happens. however, that the case was brought in the
federal courts and that the question whether of not those
courts have jurisdiction will be decided by Federal Judges
and not by Judge Robinson. It may be that the Federal
jurors on reading Judge Robinson's opinion will feel that
II 10 so clear. comprehensive and conclusive that there
Is nothing left for them to do except adopt it as their
own, but should they be SO lacking III appreciation OF the
high standard Of our state judiciary az to reason tn. case
out for Themselves. and form their own conclusions and
should those conclusions be contrary to, the ones which
Judge Robinson has reached, the case will in the natural
course be tried in the Federal courts, Notwithstanding
Judge Robinson,s opinion.
1t Is possible that in reaching an opinion the Federal
judges may act unreasonable and foolishly. Nevertheless.
our system is so governed that even q foolish opinion BY,
the the requisite number OF Judges is the law. Even IL Judge
Robinson himself and two Of his colleagues on the SUI

says;
Two weeks ago the canning factory was
only few beams and cement foundation
blocks: today 1T is two stories in height with
2 all the walls complete and the roof on 1t is
a large building with plenty of window light
and cement foundation. Part of THE machin-
cry arrived last week and when other parts

slightly hindered by the shortage of material
which delayed in shipment Considering
everything the work on this building has been
wonderful in the short length of time
The farmers this section eating
ready to supply the factory with produce, some
contracts having already been made. This is
what is called permanent prosperity and is re-
ceiving the hearty support of everyone who is
anxious to see this section prosper.
In the issue that carries this story, the
Breeze notes that Mrs. Wesley, of Point Washing
ton, has already this son canned 375 quarts con-
ssting OF string beans, black berries. black berry

The COTTON SITUATION.

Since. the war changed the map Of the world
and this country found itself suddenly confronted
with the necessity OF reaching out for world COM
merce nothing has been advocated which IL Of
greater importance to Pensacola than the high
density cotton compress which is to be erected here
to help solve shipping problem
In view OF this movement the following taken
from the Manufacturers Record will be read with
much interest:
The world IL hungry for cotton. The sup
ply of cotton goods has been steadily wearing
out for five years. and now the world must be
reclothed just as it must be fed from its fam
ished condition
High prices OF cotton compared with
former years must inevitably continue because
of high cost of production. Moreover unless
prices high enough to have stimulating
effect upon cotton production the world Will
within few years face q cotton famine of Sc
rious import. The world will continuously need
a very much larger supply Of southern cotton
than we have ever raised. except in one or two
years. though for some years Our crops have
been very small, and this years promises to be
exceptionally
much higher plane of cost than in former years,
cotton must inevitably go. s--s-
Every man who seeks to lower the price OF
cotton is seeking to permanently decrease the
worlds supply to famine condition, for when
the farmers of the south have become
thoroughly alive to diversified agriculture to
livestock raising business. and to the OPP
portunities of profitable employment in indus
trial pursuits. even 40 to so cents a pound for
will not bring them back to the Affection
system.
AS labor and foodstuffs and iron and steel
have lifted by the war initiation to very
There is no doubt but that cotton will be high,
but it will also be plentiful. particularly in

erected here will mean an increased acreage of the

Gravel " Clay Roads.


Pensacola Journal:
Bluff Springs. Fla. August 1.-The
road problem has been cussed and dis
cussed FOR 10. these many years but
the hard road is still In the future.
more especially In rainy weather ana
the county soIons are still parleyine
what is best to do. II they build
roads OF sand or top sand they wash
clay they become bog in wet weather
as many automobile drivers have found
out to their sorrow
I have. of late, ridden or driven
pretty well over the roads of the coun-
ty. There is one thing all car drivers
will testify to and. that is wherever
he finds a piece of gravel road he finds
a good road. If the labor and money
expended c1aying the roads had been
spent browning them off with about
one or two inches OF gravel our roads
would have been good.
Take the Pensacola-Flomaton road,
the first road graded in the county,
between Flomaton and Century, there
is gravel hill pretty well scattered on
the road. In all kinds Of weather you
can travel this and find no bad bogs.
bumps or holes. Also many short
stretches Of this road were built with
dirt with gravel in 1t. The hard rains
and much travel have caused the sand
or dirt to settle down and left gravel
surface. At all these points on the road
travel is alright There is gravel
throughout the county that can be had
to surface all our roads and it can be
put there cheaper than clay. If our
county solons will get into their au-
tomobiles and traverse the different
roads and notice the parts of roads
that are built of gravel earth and see
how good they are. wet or dry, hot
or cold. they are sure to decide the
travelling of the surface of all our
roads IL the solution of the road prob
lem
The roads that have been c1ayed
and are boys during the rainy weather
would have to have a heavier. coat of
gravel than the dirt roads and then
again in very dry weather you can
not kick up much of a dust in gravel
which would add much to the comfort
of the travelling public and again cars
won't slip or skid on gravel and acct
dents such as occurred on Canoe Creek
Hill a few Sundays ago in which a
young lady's life was crushed out will
not be likely to occur.
A few trucks to haul the gravel from
nearest gravel beds and use the same
labor now being used could gravel
our public roads in a comparatively
short time, then as the travel and the
rains beat the road-beds down go over
with q truck loaded with gravel fill
in the little holes and cuts that had
beat out.
The gravel would stay there and not
wash out and we soon would have
good roads everywhere. Will you try
it I? It is worth It.
