On Monday at the studio Of Mr..

APPEALING 10 THE COURTS.

The courts exist for the protection of the community
and the. individual. The laws Of the country must be in
accord with constitutional provisions. The courts deter
mine whether or not they do comply, with the require
ments OF the constitution, and. If 50. just how they apply
TO particular cases. There is a strange tendency at times
on the part Of certain individuals to condemn appeal to
the courts against the execution Of statutes which tho
Interested parties hold are in centravention OF their con-
stitutional rights.
Some time ago a number Of North Dakota. taxpayers
Appealed to the federal courts to prevent the CARRYING out
of certain projects authorized under North Dakota stat
"tes, tho contention being that the proposed action would
AFFECT them injuriously and in a manner contrary to. the
guarantees provided in the federal constitution, which is
the supreme law OF the Land. Immediately these men
were asxai!ed and denounced as II they had done an UNI
heard-of thing in appealing to the very courts which were
established for the protection Of their rights. In this case
the courts, on successive appeals being made. decided in
favor OF the validity of the statutes to which objection
had been raised. The conpIainants had exercised the
right guaranteed to every citizen. They had had their day
in court. They had stated their case and the courts had
decided that their position was unsound. That settled the
matter Of the validity Of the law. Everything had been
done decently and in order. end the law, having been ap-
proved as to its constitutionality!. became thereafter i'm
mune from attack on similar grounds.
Certain farmers in the southern part Of the state took
exception to the state grain grading act, believing it to bs
detrimental to their interests, and holding it to be uncon-
stltutIonal Promptly they were attacked az disloyal cit
liens OF the state. Tho district court held aainst them,
and this was heralded as evidence Of their unfitnsss for
membership in a decent community. The higher court.
to which appeal was taken. has declared their po6don
sound, but we hear nothing of an intent on the part Of
the defenders of the law to permit the subject to rest
there. They have made known their intent to do the very
thing that they have condemned in others, namely, to ap-
ply to a still higher court to have the decision Of the in
texnediate court overruled. They will seek q decision at
the hands Of the federal supreme court. \
All this Is regular and proper. No reasonable person
can object to It. But the peculiar feature is that some
OF the same people who are now planning to carry this
particular CAS-. as far as there are courts to hear their
are the same people who have denounced the
exercise of the same right by others. IS

ONE HUNDRED YEABs OF SERVICE.

The Manchester England Guardian is celebrating to-.
cay the one hundredth anniversary of its birth. This pa
Per mas during the greater part of its existence been one
OF the most powerful influences in the world in the pres
entation of news and the formation Of public opinion.
FOUNDED just at the time when the great Napoleon was
passing from tho world. 1t has lived through many im-
portant crises in the history OF England, and it has aided
greatly In shaping the sentiment on every important SUBJ
ject which has come before the British people for consdd.
GRAFTON. Although published at a great distance from,
this country, its articles are quoted by the American press,
and its opinions are given great weight. One feature which
has undoubtedly contributed to it's strength and growth
Is the fact that 1t Is. In an unusual sense, a one-man. pub
ucadon- For nearly fifty years it has been conducted
under the single editorial direction Of It's present proprfe:
tor-editor, Charles -Preswich Scott, who Is one OF the
splendid school of journalists which has numbered
among It's members in this country such men as Greeley,
Wsterson, Dana. Pulitzer and Bennett.
In a statement Of the clements contributing to the
building up Of this paper and to its success, the following
IS given as a declaration of principles:
"(l) the extreme care devoted to its editorial col
unns, filled by a succession of editorial writer's unsur-
passed in England; CD the range aud authority Of its
special correspondence, alike in war and in peace: go
its realization of the fact that a newspaper published in
. great commercial capital must satisfy the most exact
Ing demands in regard to Its market and financial pages;
o. the quality of Its official and political news, gathered
from tho sources by its London staff; (5) its acceptance
and constant enforcement OF tho view that the business
of a newspaper is to give a full and Trustworthy supply
OF news while the task Of the publicist is to analyze and
interpret that news-fron the strong ground Of political
and social principle and in constant recognition of the
truth that, In a world Of free citizenship, all things Of
public concern must be open to discussion; or, to adapt
. sound old American phrase, that all mon, events, and
opinions have the right to their day in the court of pub
he opinion"
III the editor, looking back upon the record Of his
paper for a century. could express in a sentence the con-
cepuon of Journalistic faith for which the Manchester
Guardian has stood, he might be content to say it was
Just that: the right Of the citizen to know the facts Of
the world, and to be given such help in understanding
thenn~as a free and responsible journal can provide"
