The supreme court has denied re-
hearing in the Bank Of North Dakota

as before, Justice Grace was the dis
senting member of the court. Rehear-
ing was asked by Attorney General
Lemke on March 25 on five different
counts of error in the courts first de-
cision. The two chief charges Of error
in the courts decision were that hold
ing the Bank of North Dakota to be
private enterprise and holding gar
nishment of banks legal: On the lat,
ter count it was charged that the court
entirely overlooked the fact that sec
ton 5l88 of the code prohibits the
garnishments of private banks IN that
# exempts all banks of all kinds in the
state from attachment and execution
The brief filed by Attorney General
Lemke pointed out that the court had
also failed to take into consideration
that section 1888 expressly declares
that property exempt from execution
isanot subject to garnishnient. In the
brief the decision of the same four
members of the court who made to-
davis ruling was held to be mot in
conformity with the law and constl-
tuition of the state. 1t is judicial legis-
lation. It amends an act Of the legls-

Certain democratic papers are try
ing to show that the note Of Secretary
Hughes concerning the question Of
trading with Russia "does not modify
the stand taken by Wilson" as set
forth last August. This is pure bunk.
Secretary Hughes, in his note de-
clared: ut is only in the productivity
of Russia that there is any nope for
the Russian people and it is idle to
expect resumption of trade until the
economic basis of production are Sc
curely established. Production is con-
ditioned upon the safety Of life, the
recognition by firm guarantees of prl-
vate property, the sanctity of contract
and the rights of free labor" The
Colby note of last August. addressed
to the Italian Ambassador, Avezzana:
did not mention these particulars. but
voiced the refusal Of the democratic
administration to recognize Russia
under the soviet, and demanded what
amounted to restoration of the old
territorial Russia under reactionary
regime before recognition would be
accorded by this country. Mr.. Will
son wanted change of government in
Russia; Mr.. Hughes wants change
Of morals in that country before trade
is resumed. Mr.. Hughes has always
been the champion of personal and
property rights, the sanctity of con-
tract, and the rights of free labor. Mr..
Wilson was permeated with socialism.
impatient of contractual obligation,
and would have Gomperized labor. He
refused to recognize the same Russian
Government in 1920 that he tried to
induce The, European powers to recog-
nize in 1919. He demanded, through
Colby, the re-incorporation into Rus
STA of the Baltic States, in 1920, al
thodgh his windy utterances in favor
of "self determination" in 1917 had
done much to encourage them to set
up their independence. Hughes is
straightforward. Wilson was quib-
bier and an opportunist. There lies
the difference.
n A RULE FOR HAPPINESS
Carrying yesterdays crouch over
into today to start the day with a SER
ious handicap.
Each day has it's own burdens with
Que picking up and from the past. A
gr0Nch, old or new, is an .intolerable
burden whenever or wherever we find
it.
Especially is this true in the home.
Husbands and wives who allow yester-
days differences to bring morning
gloom make mistake that IL sure
to bring grief.
Speaking Of the differences that
creep into homes so easily, the hus-
band says.
I'VE make it rule to begin each
day with clean slate. Every morn
