TOMSYCk GETS
5-YEAR Term

Having been found guilty by the
jury OF passing forged, worthless
nd counterfeit note, Thomas Tomsyck,
local youth, was sentenced the latter
part of last week to serve five years
at hard labor in the state penitentiary
at Waupun. Judge B. B. Park pro-
nounced the sentence. The forgery
was committed last December, and
$3.50 was secured by Tomsyck from
the First National Bank, on the fraud
ulent note. He later tried to pass an
other note of the same sort and "a
mount and was then detected and ar
rested He was on parole at the time,

The Court took up the trial of civil
cases Tuesday morning, the first being
the suit of William F. Garbrecht a.
gainst Jos. C. Breu both of Marshfeld,
for damages in the sum of $297.34 for
injury to his car in collision which
took place last August. Breu filed a
counter claim of $50 for damages to
his car, claiming negligence on the
part of Garbrecht. It appeared that
Breu had been driving behind other
cars and in attempting to pass one of
them collided with the car owned by
Garbrecht and driven by his son. The
jury found for the plaintiff Garbrecht
and awarded him the damages sought.
They held that the accident was due
to Breu's negligence and that he was
not entitled to recover for the dam
age to his car.

rom Inga Fritz on the grounds of mis-
conduct Tuesday. The action was not
contested. A divorce was also granted

'impeaching" Judge Wilkerson for
granting a temporary injunction on
the terms OF the application.

As Spoken by Its Action
(From the Washington Post).

Tho Harding administrator
declaration OF intent to uphold con-
stitutIonal rights and denial OF in-
ent to turn the Injunction forbid
ding interference with railway trans
portation by the striking unions TO
violation of such rights put into
words what has been plainly spoken
by its action. Speaking through the
Attorney-General, the admjnistra-
lon expressly pledges Itself to earn
est championship of the rights of
all under the Constitution. And as
It now speaks. It has acted through
out its dealing with the situation
created by the strike. In moving for
the Injunction II has acted, not TO
destroy but TO maintain the law of
the land that guarantees the rights
OF individuals, groups and the public.
And the manner In which II has set
about maintaining government su-
premacy negatives violation OF
rights. BY resorting TO the courts, It
has subjected its action to judicial
review and control, as prescribed
that 1t is exercising with respect TO
the Injunction is in accord with in
depreciation by the only agencies
qualified to pass upon the constitu-
tionality of its acts.
The injunction is not an executive
decree but a court order. II was
temporarily issued, not simply be-
cause the administration petitioned
for II. but because the presiding
judge was OF opinion that the Con-
stltutlon and constitutional laws and
the facts set forth warranted the
order. The decision as TO whether
or not II should be made permanent
will be determined. not by the ad-
ministration's expressed views and
wishes, but by the law OF the land |
as construed by the court Thus the |
Administrations course is being |
shaped by the Constitution and !
constitutional laws as interpreted
by legal agencies.
Differences of opinion as TO the
constituuonahty or unconstitution-
allty OF governmental acts are in
evitable. But fortunately decision is
not with individuals of with groups.
Conviction as TO unconstitutionality
OF the Administrations action, even
though sincere. does not warrant
the person or element holding It 10
set government at naught. The rem
edy OF those who think that their
rights are violated by the Injunction
lies in judicial procedure provided
by and under the Constitution and
laws for determine
ion in such case. Those who fail to
realize this and attempt TO assert
Evening journal., 1922-09-09

rights that they think have beer
violated in defiance of government
manifestly aim at setting themselves
above the law. Those so inclined
will change their defiant attitude ia
conform more nearly 10 the demands
/ of representative government-ii
they are wise. Under American In
stltutions, citizenship imposes obli-
CATION TO obey the law of the land
as interpreted by the courts and to
maintain the supremacy OF govern
ment. Rights and duties go together
and those who would enjoy the
former must fulfil the latter.
Being human agencies, courts
may sometimes fall into error. But
this does not excuse elements In
volved in tha injunction case for
falling into the error OF thinking
that they can fiout the courts and
government with impunity.
Action along the line so pointed
would mean an encounter with
crushing forces. of government that
would inevitably result in serious
and permanent injury to the chal-
lengers and the cause that they
champion, and would leave scars on
the body polite that would be long
in healing.
The criticism that is being direct
ed against the injunction will carry
no weight with the American pub
lie. For it can plainly see that the
greater part of II is dictated by un-
reasoning self-interest, and that the
remainder is to be debited to dema-
goguery or partisanship or blind
opposition. And the American peo-
pie know how to discount criticism
so inspired.
II any administration has ever
duly observed constitutional limita-
tions. it is the Harding Administra-
ton. And this applies to its record
move TO obtain the restraining
order until wrongful activities OF
the striking unions practically
forced that action upon It. BY turn
ing to the courts for sanction, IT
has made clear its determination TO
hold within constitutional limits.
Strike-created conditions put the
administration to a choice between
of the governments |
supremacy and betrayal of the pub
lie trust, and, being true to itself
and the nation, It has chosen the
former. In moving for the lnjunc-
hon. It acted in the public interest.
And the American people. whose
cause It has thus championed. can /
be counted on TO judge II fairly. in
passing upon unjust. unwarranted
and malicious criticism now being
directed against 1t.

With what high crime or misde-

The nearest the World comes to

and as every lawyer or intelligent
