tendency to guttonous enjoyment of the privilege.
The body is gorged with rich vands and the digestive
organs worked at destructive pace This leads to a

A MISSOURI COMPROMISE

Among the curios produced by legislatures in our
various states during the closing the most
awe-insprng is the effort Of law-maker rejoicing in
the moniker of j. Dial Swiers The proposed legislation
which died with adjournment of the Missouri legisla
ture included promoted by the said Swiers
to declare the Ten Commandments and the League of
Nations legal in Missouri and to repeal all other laws
The common reaction of momentary speechlessness
in the presence Of much nobility in a single piece
of legislation will be vague wonder what would
happen if the constitutional restriction of the treaty
making power of states lifted long enough to
admit Missouri to the league. There would be certain
interesting possibilities implied in the states right

tempt to sway the moral pressure of the British Empire
ct al against the sovereign states of Arkansas and
Oklahoma.
Regarding another item in the Sweirs chef doeuvre
it is to be regretted that it given its day in
the general court of Missouri in order that the world
might learn what typical politically minded legislature
can think up in the way Of amendments to the Ten
Commandments. Thirdly, the repeal of all existing
law has its engaging aspects 1t would be interesting
to know how Missouri would go about ordering grade
separation or fixing salary, for example on the
strength of the Decaogue and the Covenant of the
| league.

gaety of existence appears to have been overlooked

DAIRYINC FOR NEVADA
FARMERS

Experts who have apparently ex-
amined all the conditions incident to
farming in western Nevada, have
from time to time expressed them
selves of the opinion that dairying
should be promoted in this section
and that big money awaits the men
who will start into the dairying
business on scale that will make it
good business.
The comment is often made that
Nevada farmers too often put their
acreage into alfalfa, and the result
is that they are compelled to cope
with a fluctuating market and at the
same time take the richness out OF
their soil, while in dairy products
there is always a ready market at a
price that is commensurate with the
efforts and money invested.
A deeper study of farm conditions
and crops has been noted in the last
few years but there is little doubt
but that there is room for more of
this study, and that as a result
of careful analysis of every condi-
ton appertaining to farming in this
section the growers might turn their
acreage to other use with more
profit to themselves and to the state.
This was called to the attention
of the Lovelock and Humboldt farm
ers when Eugene Grub, S. P. ex-
pert, urged the farmers to plant
their fields to potatoes. He said
that they have a NATURAL soil that
would make that section the richest
potato belt in the nation.
These ideas are all worthy OF
special attention, with the idea that
more intensive cultivation Of the
farming districts will be of vastly
more benefit than the present sys-
TEN of raising hay.

Monkey Put Up Good Flohs,

The extraordinary sight of a mon
key fighting bull has been witnessed
at Hounslow, England. The bull,
while being taken to the slaughter
house, escaped from the keepers and
dashed off. sending pedestrians In all
directions. It made straight for bar
rel organ, on which monkey was per-
forming with a wand, and the grinder
rushed to safety. Jack, however,
stuck to his post, and struck the bull
with the wand before being tossed into
the air. The monkey returned to the
attack, and made fierce onslaught on
the bull with Its teeth and nails. This
disconnected the bull, who, catching
sight Of Its keeper, who was In pur-
suit. fed to Isleworth, where It dropped
exhausted. The monkey was unin-
jured.

TOO MANY LAWS


Senator Ferris of Michigan stirred up the animals
with suggestion that legislatures everywhere out
of the lawmakng business for the years. One
commentator objects that the amount of antique
law would still remain the books at the end of the
vacation, and suggests that since the constitution re-
quires that lawmakers be elected for labor of some
kind they devote their energy toward the repeal of
inanmate laws exclusively
The faacy of this proposition is that defes the
human instincts to be creating something Also, in
spite of coical remarks to the contrary the fact
mains that occasions continually arising that make
legislation necessary The trouble has been that
when something in the way of law is brought
into being it not usually recognized that something
else is becoming obsolete.
To provide ample play for the creative instinct it
might better be proposed that statesmen be allowed
to concoct many statutes they please, pro-
vding only that they repeal two existing laws in the
same operation The scheme might be expanded to
provide that public expense of dollar be in
Cured unless two dollars cut out of existing
expense
All of which is of those delightful prospects
that never will come true. 1t is too absurd en-
tirey too sensible, according to how you look at
government.

A JUDICIAL WEAKNESS

One of the most glazing weaknesses of the American
civil court system is the with which persons of
Interior often criminal motives institute suits
damages on any and grounds. Persons in public
life, or whose livelihood depends upon public esteem,
are times without number blackmailed by the un-
scrupuous If they refuse to "come across they are
sued and allegations made that however groundless
they later turn out to be, lowers public respect for
them.
Once in while, of course, suits for personal or
other damages wellfounded but to each case of
this kind that to trial. and juries waste
endless days struggling with that have basis
in anything except avaricousness. 1t is regreable
condition, but for which remedy has ever been
advanced.

HELCOLAND VANISHES-

The American habit Of abbreviation may have re-
moved the ii" from Heligoland, but it has remained
for the British and French to remove everything ex-
cept the first three letters
The treaty of Versailles ordered that the German
Notifications be destroyed and not rebuilt Those great
works are or were imbedded in solid rock. In dyna-
hitting the Notifications the workmen have dynamited
the island itself which is dsnegratng fast and soon
is expected to vanish entirely.
An island less may not make much diff
ference, and in the of Hegoand its usefulness
was too obviously restricted to military and naval
operations. Its is one-quarter Of a square mile
and besides the 1at-topped rock which became the
fort, has only small stretch Of shore used as sea-

Thus there is no economic argument to beget la
mentations for its disappearance, even though its
historic significance not small. However many
symbols of the past have lost nothing by vanishing and
the memory of Helgoland will all necessary pur-
satisfactorily its bleak presence off the north

NOT DUE TO TARIFF

The contention by antiprotectioniss that the
rise in sugar prices traceable to the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber tariff is in plain disregard of facts The duties
sugar range from three-quarters of cent to one
and quarter cents pound. The rise in prices is
several times the schedule rates. This fact alone
flutes the charge that it is due to the tariff.
The rise in sugar prices the result Of specula-
ton that might have happened under free-trade. 1t
is no more debit against the protective tariff than
would be the rise in any other commodity subject
speculation and without relation to tariff rates. The
truth regarding the present increase of sugar prices
will soon be brought out. Apparently criminal
spiracy has been at work. If the operators can be
subjected to penal law, they should be prosecuted
forthwith.
