Relations Between the States.

The decision Of the supreme court Of the
United States concerning use Of water in inter-
state rivers calls to mind that some Of the things
left unsettled by the Constitution Of the United
States are being firmly settled by the Supreme
Court OF the United States 1t was Chief Justice
John Marshall who gave vitality and flexibity
to an otherwise rigid document, and made pos
sible the growth and expansion Of the union and
the fabric Of the law on which it rests.
Nothing in the constitution deals with the
right OF state to exclusively control its own
internal affairs, not affected by the police power
OF the nation and the right of congress to regu-
late commerce between the states. For this
reason I single backward state is enabled to null
lify the will Of most in the matter OF child labor.
Colorado undertakes to assert control Of waters
Of all streams arising in or flowing through the
state, relying on a provision of its constitution
ratified BY congress in 1876 This the supreme
court has set aside in favor of Kansas, Nebraska
and Wyoming. Utah and New Mexico may yet
Be benehciaries Of the ruling. In other ways
the federal courts have interviewed to settle more
definitely state relations as well as state rights,
and without invading the sovereignty Of any
state have served to restrict the assertion of
such sovereignty to the detriment Of Others
Those who are inclined to criticize the as
sumption OF jurisdiction by the federal courts
should study the effect of recent decisions, and
they may thus be reconciled 70 what at times
seems to be 4 restriction of purely state power.
All the worthy elements Of state rights are care
fully preserved, and only the uncertain or un-
worthy are limited by the federal jurisdiction.

Due Process of Law.

A Cass county farmer is about 10 open q
question. the solution to which will be OF gen.
ersl interest in the United States. He sues for
return OF 81, 900. contributed by him under duress
. 10 the Red Cross daring the war. He was threat
ened by = mob, he asserts, and to save himself
he purchased Liberty bonds and made the con.
tribution to the Red Cross fund he now asks to
have returned.
Under the constitution of the United States
private property may be taken for public use,
but only by due process OF law. Acts OF God
or the public enemy exempt the government
from payment for property damaged. destroyed
or sequestrated. A mob Is certainly not an act
OF God within the commonly accepted meaning
Of the phrase. A not especially refined process
OF reasoning might construe a mob as q. public
enemy. II is On outsrowth Of lawless impulse,
one perhaps that anticipates the law, but yet has
no warrant in law.
A few years ago the United States of America
latter seeking reparation tor certain subjects
who fell victims Of mob At New Orleans. James
Gillespie Blaine then secretary Of state in Presi-
dent Harrison's cabinet, pleaded that Louisiana
was responsible for order within its own boun-
daries, and the federal government could not
interfere However, \ settlement was effected
and money damages paid. About the same time
Nebraska settled claim laid by British sub
ject who had been assaulted by resident OF
Sarpy county while encamped south Of town.
Certain Greek residents Of South Omaha also
secured reparation for damage wrought by 4
mob.
Thus there Is ample precedent for assessing
damages against the public for acts Of mobs
during peace time. War conditions put differ
ent aspect on most things, and probably on this.
The Constitution of the United States was vir-
tualy suspended while the country actually was
At war, and a great many things took place that
would not be permitted in time Of peace. Espe-
cally was 1t exasperating to those Of the COM
munty who were bending every effort to aid
in winning the war to see one, wholly within
his rights, holding off and indirectly at best ham
pering the general public purpose. Mob action
under such provocation is not to be wondered at.
1t will be interesting to read the courts
opinion in this suit, if it be pressed to con-
elusion, for not only is due process Of law in
volved. but 4 point Of even great moment that
OF public responsibility for the acts Of citizens,
indignant and excited by the presence Of great
national emergency. .@"

Nebraska cattle owned by William Kuhln1an
of Chester topped the Kansas City market at
soOs hundred pounds the other day. This is
one more indication Of the supremacy Of Ne
braska in livestosk feeding. The cattle had been
on full feed since January. The ration most Of
the time was shelled corn and alfalfa, but at the
last cooked corn was substituted. Although they
did not come to the Omaha market, this makes
it apparent why the Omaha stockyards receive
better class of cattle than any other terminal

stock than do those Of most western states

Dust to Dust.

The inventor Of the vacuum cleaner is dead,
benefactor Of womankind if ever there was one.
Little recognition Of his achievement is recorded
in the neager dispatch from New York which
announces that David P. Kenny was found dead
with a cord tied about his neck at the foot Of
Mount Beacon.
From the fact that nothing is said about a
search for whoever is responsible for his death
it is to be inferred that he was suicide. The
first thought is that in spite Of his ingenuity he
did not gain wealth. Inventors are not money
makers Edison himself lost millions to the
promoters Of his patents in the forepart of his
career. The man who originated the typewriter
died in poverty.
More or less fanciful tales are told Of in
ventors who come to hate the children Of their
devisine, to sicken of their sight and to feel
that they are pursued and unable to escape the
ornnipresence Of them. The inventor of the
telephone, the tradition is never uses the instru-
ment One wonders if Edison ever goes to the
movies or listens to a talking machine Ford
is said to ride about in car Of his own making,
but this may be only another example Of his
freakish spirit.
However, the inventor of the vacuum cleaner,
being man, was not called on to manipulate
one, and seemingly did not receive enough rec
oenition to be nauseated with his deed. Had
he been gifted with the art Of securing publicity
or with an ambition for Office he might have
achieved high position through the woman vote,
running on an anti-broom platform.

Heavy Tax Payment.

From ths Genera (Neb.) Signal.
Considerable publicity has been given recent
ly to individuals in adjoining counties where
county treasurers have reported collecting as
much as $4,000 to $4,000 real estate tax from an
individual land owner.

estate taxes. This Is q revelation Of what Ne

hard and save his earnings Mr.. Sloan came to
Fillmore county just thirty years ago, having
borrowed the money to pay his railroad fare to
Fairmont near where he had been engaged to
teach school. His first earnings went to pay OFF
the mortgage on the form belonging to his father
and mother near Blockton, Ia. Since then he
has invested his earnings in Fillmore county
lands until he has just paid the largest in
divtdual real estate tax in our county.

According to the best advices

road is rather narrow at that

PRESS COMMENT
The Wider Freedom

Hyde Park was rent by anxiety
and potential horror last week
when five club women, who had
been attending the federation
meeting in Montpelier, evidently
became call fed up" with that sort
of thing and decided to administer
an antidote.
They had their car or cars, they
could drive and evidently they had
"the price" among them, so they
made a side trip to Burlington,
took in the "Greenwich Follies"
and arrived home about 100 Sun
day morning.
Meanwhile their husbands, faith
ers, brothers and men-lofk, egged
on probably by other women, had
started a telephone trail leading
from the Calf-skin capital to
Montpelier, through the neighbor-
hood and back, entirely failing to
locate the runaways.
Terrible thoughts of accidents,
holdups, abductions and possibly
Opponents fitted through agitat-
ed brains. The village was astir.
Search parties were talked of.
Men-folks reflected on hard things
they had said and done. Memories
of cruel refusals to authorize ap-
parel, headgear and motor-cars
came back to torture them.
In a word, Hyde Park was con-
siderably stirred up and scared.
Then came the return of the
truants who remarked blandly that
it was a pity they couldn't go out
for a little time, just like the
men, without having such a hull
baloo raised about it. What did
they think, any way?
Discreet history draws a veil
over what husbands said to wives,
brothers to sisters, fathers to
daughters; but imagine what a to-
do there would have been in the
old days if respectable" women
had gone on such spree!
We do things on a more expan-
sive scale nowadays, and a man
can't be dead sure where his
wife, family or motor-car is at any
given moment. It's sad world,
my masters, mostly mad and en-
tirely upset.-Rutland Herald.
