Those who are we'll acquainted
with Mr.. Smalley are enthusiastically
supporting him for Circuit Judge.
They know him to be worthy and
well qualified and highly deserving.
The Belmont Success says:
"The editor of this paper has
known S. E. Smalley of Cuba City,
candidate for Circuit Judge, for a
period of twenty six years. Many
other citizens of this community are
also intimately acquainted with the
neighboring attorney. To those who
have not enjoyed that friendship, we
wish to recommend him as a man es-
pecially endowed with the necessary
qualifications to make a good Judge.
. He is deliberate in his actions and if
elected will fill the Office of Judge
ship with dignity and credit to him
self and constituents. Vote for
Sherman e. Smalley at the April
election"

Judge Landis's Two Jobs

New York World: That there may
be nothing illegal in Judge Landis' S
acceptance of a large salary as su-
preme baseball arbiter is no justific-
tion of his conduct. 1t is incompat-
ible with the duties and dignity of his
office that he should remain in the
pay of outside interests His failure
to recognize the improperly of it and
his refusal to give heed to the criti-
cism expressed in Congress and else
where alone would raise doubts as to
his qualifications for the Federal
bench. A right sense of honor is a
primary requirement in any man in
his position.
No one ever dreamed before that a
United States District Judge could
do such thing as Judge Lands
takes satisfaction in doing. Repre-
sentative Welty is quite right in say
ing that if professional baseball inter
est can retain him, any corporation
the Steel Trust or the Chicago meat
packers-could retain other Federal
Judges as arbitrators in their busi-
ness. 1t is impossible to draw the
line exclusively in his favor. 1t
is impossible to make distinctions
emitting him to $4,000 a year sal
airy and fees from organized baseball
and barring other judges from SIM
liar lucrative employment. Forum
ately. so far, Judge Lands stands
alone. But Congress should once for
all prohibit any Federal Judge from
accepting pay for his services from
any quarter other than the Govern
ment. Judge Lands could then es-
cape further criticism by devoting
his exceptional talents exclusively to
professional baseball.

1.-THE WISHING RING"
By Ladies' Guild and S. Georges
Guild.


''The Wishing Ring" highly
pleasing musical fantasy is to be pre-
sented under the auspices of the
Ladies' Guild and st. Georges Guild
as soon as it can be arranged and re-
hearsed.
Amateur productions always at
tract much interest and the board de-
sires to take advantage of this fact
in presenting this pleasing compost
ton.
"The Wishing Ring is more than
the average entertainment. 1t is a
musical extravaganza and requires a
large cast, elaborate costuming and
much scenic lighting effects.
The production is somewhat on the
order of "The Bluebird" and peter
Pan" 1t represents the dream of
two small children, who, wandering
through "Story-book Land" make
the acquaintance of Simple Simon,
Marjorie Daw, and many others. The
plot is consistent and clever, inter
spersed with tuneful music and
pretty spectacular features. The cast
will contain about 125 people, repre-
senting nymphs, roses, corn-fowers,
daises, sprites, snow-drops, suffra-
gettes and many other interesting
creatures of story-book fame.
While not all the principal roles
are assigned, most. have been given
out and rehearsals will soon begin.

j. s. HIGH COURT
KILLS LEVER LAW
Profiteering Curb Too Vague,
Chief Justice White Holds.
JUSTICES CONCUR IN OPINION
Section Four Of Act Is Weak Point
and Is Held to Be Unconstitutional
Decision Affects Many
CUifS

Washington, March 1.-The United
States Supreme court decided that the
antiprofiteering provisions Of the Le-
yer act are unconstitutional, and as a
result all government prosecutions
pending against food ,profteers will be
dismissed.
The court held that congress had no
authority to enact section of the Le-
yer act, as originally enacted in 1917,
and re-enacted in 1919. Section 4
sought to punish all persons engaged
in the production or distribution Of
food except farmers, who made more
than a "fair profit" but did not define
what "fair profit was.
The court maintained that the Ian
guage of the section was vague and
inadequate and gave courts and juries
power to set up their own standards
as to when profits became excessive
and were punishable under the act.
White Hands Down Decision.
Chief Justice White handed down
the decision, all of the justices con-
curing. Ten cases were pending be-
fore the court, but the specific decision
against the L. Cohen Grocery COM
pany, st. Louis.
The government charged that the
Cohen company had violated section
4 of the Lever act "by wilfully and fe-
1OniOuSly making an unjust or unrea-
sonable rate and charge" In handling
sugar.
The grocery company contended that
the counts brought against it by the
Department of Justice were so vague
as not to inform it Of the nature and
cause Of the accusation; that section
of the Lever act was SO indefinite that
it could not be told what was forbid
den, and that it constituted a delega-
ton by congress of legislative power
to courts and juries to determine what
punishable. Moreover, the company
contends the country was virtually at
peace and that congress had no power
to regulate profits with section 4.
The Federal court in st. Louis ac-
quilted the Cohen company and the
department of Justice Immediately ap-
pealed.
In it's decision the Supreme court
did not pass upon the contention that
the country is at peace.
Section Four Unconstitutional.
In declaring section 4 unconstitu-
tional the Supreme court held that the
section fixed no ascertainable standard
Of guilt and that it was not adequate
to inform persons accused of profteer-
ing of the nature and cause Of the ac-
cusations brought against them by the
government
''To attempt to enforce the section,"
the decision declared, would be the
exact equivalent of an effort to carry
out a statute which in it's terms mere
ly penalized and punished all acts det-
rimental to the public interest, when
unjust and unreasonable in the esti-
mate Of the court and jury"
In it's decision the Supreme court
made reference to persistent efforts
which the records disclose were made
by administrative officers, doubtless in
spired by a jealous effort to discharge
their duty, to establish a standard Of
their own to be used as a basis to
render the section possible of execu-
ton"
