JUDGE Lands,

There is a great deal of unnecessary
heat and smoke in the controversy about
Judge K. NJ. Lands of Chicago, which
should not be allowed to obscure the
facts of the case and the real issue in
volved. As for the facts, it may be
pointed out that Judge lands, with all
his picturesque eccentricities. is a jurist
of admitted honesty and ability who has
rendered valuable service to his COM
munity and country on many occasions +;
also that professional baseball was in
sad need of a respectable system for set
thing its disputes, and that the selection
of an arbitor of Judge Landis's charac-
ter was hailed at the time, properly
enough, as calculated to solve the prob
lem and restore public confidence in the
national sport, and that there is no rea-
son as yet to change that view.
The real question is whether or not
it is right for Judge Lands to hold his
public Office and his private job at the
same time. This is a serious matter.
The attorney general of the United
States has decided that the judge has a
legal right to retain his place on the
federal bench while serving the base
ball interests. That decision, however,
does not necessarily settle the ethics of
the case, as viewed either by the legal
profession or by the public. As st.
Paul pointed out, a thing may be techni-
cally permissible and yet inexpedient.
If a judge on the bench may be retained
by a baseball trust" he may also be
retained, in theory at least, by a "meat
trust" or any other private interest.
The unacceptable conclusion is that
Judge Lands ought to choose either the
one job or the other, instead of holding
both. And if be acts on this friendly adj
vice, and chooses the baseball job, there
will be another argument for paying fed
eral judges real salaries.

Even if the highway matter were not

present question of good roads in Yer
bring up the matter once more, 1t is
a perennial question. that good roads
proposition, and each year just before

the good roads poem comes to mind:
In the spring Nermonters' fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of roads"
So 1T Is this year, as usual; but grad
ually, we believe more and more persons
are beginning to realize that good roads
mean better country schools lower
prices to the city consumer for country
products and a vastly improved social
life for the farmer, his family and his
employees. Besides these things, good
roads mean a general improvement in
farm life. both as to the tightening of
labor and the enjoyment of the better
things of life. because they win be so
much more easily attainable.
1t has been estimated that over a bill
lion dollars have been appropriated for
good roads programs and something like
100000, 900 viii be available this year.
The cost of labor. material and the abil-
lty of transportation systems to make
good will figure in the ultimate out
come, but the movement for good roads
has a momentum that only completion
the country over will stop.

cars, of 100000 motor trucks, of whom
