LAMBAsT1NG THE ENTIRE COURT

The article in the Fargo Courier News to which
reference was made recently in these columns was
directed particularly at Judge Robinson, who
although nominated and elected by the Courier
News and its friends is now repudiated and cast
into outer darkness. The article however did not
contine itself entirely to Judge Robinson. Directly
and by implication, it condemned the entire supreme
court of North Dakota because the court did not
see tit to render d decision in the recall election case
satisfactory to the Courier News. The attack on
Judge Robinson is really made the basis for an out
pouring Of venom against the entire court.
Reference is made to certain statements which
emanated from Judge Robinson with reference to
the facts in this particular suit. and because other
members of the court did not see fit to take notice
OF these statements, and to r%epudiate them, they are
held to have concurred in them and share in the
odium which the Courier News believes should fol-
low their utterapces.
there were no grounds upon which the ,court could
enter into an examination OF the facts relating to
the recall petitions. 1t did not decide these peti-
tons to have been sufficient or insufficient, legal
or illegal. 1t simply took the position, so far as it
is possible to infer from the action taken, that the
time for the consideration of this matter had
elapsed: the election had been held, the people had
rendered their decision, and the case could not now
be re-opened. no matter what its original merits
might have been.
Statements made by Judge Robinson were not
made in the course of his performance Of judicial
duty. They were VOLUNTEERED in a public way not
ateany session eof court. and were merely the utter
ances OF a private individual although that individ-
ual happened to hold an important judicial office.
Ehe other members of the court had no more occa-
sion to take notice of what Judge Robinson said on
this occasion than they have had to take notice of
his utterances on a dozen other occasions, when he
himself in a similarly informal and
equally picturesque manner. The court was rem
derlng a decision in a lawsuit. 1t was not discuss
ing or considering statements made by-ene of it's
members in hotel Hobbies Or in the columns of a
newspaper, and the criticisms of the Courier News
IN this respect are wholly without warrant, and are
to be considered on an entirely different basis from
any statements which it may haye made with refer
ence to Judge Robinson in his capacity as a private
citizen expressing himself in a public way for the
and entertainment of those who chose
to listen or read.

LAND ARMAMENT

A great navy provides the means whereby wal
may be carried to the distant shores of all enemy,
and by which an army may be landed on his soil.
But it is in connection with the land armament Of
Europe that the most critical situation exists. A
fleet moves slowly and with elaboration. 1t is
only remotely likely to be Immediately provocative
OF war, although the consciousness of great naval
superiority may prompt toward a warlike attitude.
But with Europe. divided into a great number Of
countries. many of them of small area and dcnsely
inhabited. armies are explosive elements OF great
and immediate danger.
Much has been written Of the German con
ditions which impel France to remain heavily armed.
But it is not along the French border that all the
danger lies. Militaristic Germany resents the exis-
tence Of an independent Poland. Russia. diorgan-
ized as she is, has great armies with which her
Soviet rulers impose their will on the population
and which can readily be turned, against any neigh
Dor. Bulgaria, comparatively tanned by her expert
ences in the great war, is still Instructed by Ru-
mania. Austria and Hungary. once yoked together,
are ready to fly at each others threats. Friction
exists between Serbia and Albania, and Italy has no
secure hold on her territory east of the .Adriatic.
= These are some of the conditions which impel
each nation to remain armed. and it will require
craftsmanship Of a high order to create a state of
affairs which will make the nations of eastern
Europe feel that it will he safe and profitable for
them to reduce their standing armies to the pro-
portion needed to preserve domestic tranquility.

STORAGE EGGS.

AS one OF the reasons for opposing the modih-
cation of a court order prohibiting the great pack
ing companies from engaging in certain lines of the
storage business, a witness cites the fact for which
he vouches that eggs which were bought in Michi-
gan last summer at II cents a dozen are now being
marketed at 40 to so cents a dozen. The existence
Of this wide margin between the price paid to the
producer and that paid by the consumer is attribut-
cd to the packing company which bought the eggs
in the first place.
1t is not quite easy to follow the line OF argu-
ment which this gentleman has used. Certainly it
cannot be due to the fact that packing companies
were in the market for eggs that the price last sum-
Iner tell as low as IL cents a dozen. One might in
qulre what the probable price would have been had
the packing company not been buying. If some
body had not bought eggs last June, the price would
have fallen not only tn Y cents a dozen. but clear
out OF sight. because it is a we'll known faet that in
the height Of the egg season, the production is away
beyond the consuming demands af the public, no
matter what the price may be.
The egg business is a seasonal one. Hens are
SO constructed thai unless special provision is made
to break them OF the habit, they will lay eggs in the
summer rather than iii winter. More eggs are pro-
duced in summer than are used in summer. The
eggs must be carried Over into a season of greater
scarcity or must be allowed to spoil. Sometimes
both things happen. The packing company, no
matter whether it be a meat packing company or
cold storage concern Of any kind, if it engages in
the egg business, collects eggs at the season of
greatest supply, places them in storage until they
are in demand, and then markets them at what price
it can get. The eggs thus carried over, if fresh
when gathered, are very desirable many months al
ter being placed in storage. They are not strictly
fresh, but they are serviceable. sound. wholesome,
and thoroughly desirable. If 4narketed for what
they are, storage eggs, there is no fraud and no de-
ception in the matter, nor is there any great i'm
~propriety in a company's buying largely in the per-
1od of plenty, taking advantage of the low prices at
which the product can then be purchased. and real
1zing a profit on it at a later date. 1t may be that
profits are sometimes higher than the circumstances
warrant. This is almost certainly true, but if the
excessive profits in certain cases are set against the
losses in other cases, where conditions do not turn
out f%avorably, the average of profit would not ap-
pear so large.

returns to st. Paul to work in a library.
AFTER being there three. years she meets
DIR. Will kennicott, of Gopher Prairie.
and they are married.
Through college, and her library work,

do not quite approve Of her. nor favor
her ideas for changes in the town.

cause he does not give her a regular al
lowance for the household. He tells her
frankly that she feels herself superior
to his village, friends. and is soaring
them away with her ideas.

village lawyer, with whom she had
harmlessly Airted, a bit, and whom SHE
thought was "different,' belongs to the

WHEAT

1t is very early to begin to make a. estimate on
the wheat production of another year, but the re-
ports from the great winter wheat sections indicate
j low condition in the growing plant and in some
cases. there is indicated something approaching a
total failure. Oklahoma reports not better thar. 4
80 per cent condition, and this of course may de
teriorate as the season progresses. 1t is quite pos
s1ble that there may be an Improvement which will
bring an advance in the general average. But it
appears now reasonably certain that there will be a
rather short crop OF winter wheat in the United
States next year.
This fact has it's interest for the North Dakota
farmer whose great staple is spring wheat, because
the two kinds OF wheat find substantially the same
market. and the supply OF one has a marked effect
on the price of the other. .sa
Under the existing circumstances, while the
area to be seeded to wheat or any other crop must
remain a matter for individual Judgment, there can
be no question Of the fact that the interest of the
North Dakota farmer lies now, perhaps more def
1litely and emphatically than ever before, in the
production Of as many bushels as possible from the
acres which are planted. North Dakota has been a
large producer of wheat. One trouble with the
, wheat situation III this state as in other states
which have passed through the wheat stage, is that
the effort has been made to continue the production
OF large aggregate, crops by seeding mary acres
ing effort upon a smaller area, and producing an
equal output from the lessened acreage, and there
by producing each bushel at a smaller cost.
The experience of Our farmers during the past
.NU = ~ oo-SAhPioo'[Su SlioISy lliS IllpOll L
ance Of looking after the item Of expense in produc-
ton more carefully than has been the case in former
years. The period OF war prices has passed. What
the price of wheat may be another year, no one
knows, but it is quite certain that it will not even
approach the high levels of the war period. Labor
costs will be materially less as will the cost o;
equipment and supplies, and the prices iii all lines
have shrunk so greatly as to bring income and out
go very close together, and the only possible way
ii which there can be a reasonably certainty Of sue
cessfuf operation is by concentrating effort on the
area seeded and thus eliminating the large percent
age of the overhead charges which have wrecked
many a. farmer as they have wrecked many a mer-
chant and other business man in the past. Market
ing problems are important, but the individual
farmer can exert but a small influence upon the
world price Of wheat upon which the local price is
based. The individual farmer can, however, gov
er1 very largely his cost of production, and it is in
this field that his effort may most wisely be ex-
pended.
