Justice Owen shows that in an investigation
made, he has found in one hundred and twenty
three times, where courts have decided on the
constitutionality of statutes passed by Con-
gress and state legislatures, that but twenty
four laws were held unconstitutional he shows
clearly that in most of these cases the decisions
of the court were by very large majorlties and
that but in five cases were the decisions hand
ed down by bare majority of the courts.
Eleven of these acts were, held unconstitu-
tional by a unanimous vote of the court.
Justice Owen could hardly be classed as a
"reactionary." His entire political life has been
spent on what might be termed the other side
of the fence It is to his credit, that he has
made this examination and has given out a
judicial, rather than political opinion.
Possibly it would have been to his advant-
age to so manipulate his deductions that he
might side with the man who criticises the
courts, but there is evidence that he sought
fairly to present a great problem in govern
ment.
1t has become fashionable to criticise the
courts. An appeal to the prejudice Of the mob,
finds no better resting place than in an attack
ano fairly answered it. The integrity of the
courts of this nation and this state, cannot be
assailed in intelligence, but it can't be attacked
in passion and political hatred. The man or
the bunch of men who seek to feather their
own political nests, by breaking down the
power of the courts are menace to the con-
stitution and the government of the nation.

THE WOLF-THE WOLF.

You remember the story in the old book of
fables Of the boy who cried out 1.-THE wolf-the
Wolf" with a view of frightening the people
who owned the sheep he was watching-You
remember the end of it-when the wolf really
came and the boy uttered his cry, the rest Of
the people just smiled and thought he was hav-
ing good joke, and the. wolf came and ate up
the sheep.
We are in favor of these bells which guard
the crossings of railways in Kenosha county,
but we are convinced that bells which ring
when there is danger, are as great hazard
to the public as TO have crossing without any
protecting devices.
We have in mind the crossing of the North
western freight line on the Geneva road. This
protecting device rings most of the time and
most of the time it rings, there is an absence
of danger at the crossing. A freight train back
ed up on the switch will keep the bell ringing
for hours some time. The motor car driver
comes along and stops only to find that no
train is coming either way. It's fine to make
the man driving the motor car stop at the
crossing, but human nature is SO constituted
that it gets careless and people are beginning
to think that the ringing of this bell means
nothing.
The same condition prevails at other rail
way crossings. If the companies owning these
crossings want these devices to really protect
they should see to it that they are sounded only
in the times when train is approaching the
crossing. The most active aid to accidents is
a public grown careless on account of the
fact that they are warned when there is no
danger.

A VOICE FROM WISCONSIN.

With most of the public speakers of Wiscon-
sin crying out against the courts of the nation,
and in many cases questioning their ability,
and even their integrity and sincerity, it is en-
couraging to note that one man in Wisconsin
has taken the other sides of-the question, and
that man is no less parsonage than Justice
of the Supreme Court
The statement of Justice Owen, published
an another column today, is one that should
be read by thinking people, and it is one which
should go long ways toward discounting the
nbrdled and uniformed statements which
have been made by many Wisconsin uen, in
public life, relative to the efficiency and the in
tegrity of the courts.
True, Justice Owen, is like 'voice crying
in the wilderness" but his logic is excellent,
and he speaks as one "having authority
The Justice has not gone off half cooked and
decided the case against all courts on a single
decision, but he has made az close study of the
courts of his state and his country, and he
states boldly that for the most part, the men
who have sought to undermine the courts and
their procedure, have based their opinions for
the, most part on isolated, scattered and in
frequent decisions" 1t is not expected that
there will be any dissenting opinion from the
decision of Justice Owen,
The men who sit on the benches of the state
and nation, know better than anyone else the
absolute lack of basis for the criticism which
has been hurled at the courts, by unbridled
political orators.

Bv DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
CHILDREN'S EYES.

1t is not too strong q statement to
make, that ambitious parents fire.
quently are the cause of child's eyes
being ruined as well as it's health. The
healthy boy of girl with normal eyes
should be guarded and watched close
ly in order to conserve this most
priceless possession. Those child1Nn
who have a tendancy to weak eyes
from birth must be protected from the
many harmful influences even more
carefully.
Do not allow children of one, two
or three years to look at pictures or
any objects which require close in
spection in any detail. kindergarten
work until the child is four or five,
and even six years of age, should be
chiefly confined to large charts or OBJ
jects larger enough to be seen at a
distance of 10 or Is feet. No small
holes in cards for sewing should be
used.
The delicate optic nerve of child
does not register the sensation of
pain. Through close contact work
such as stringing fine beads, or read
ing in poor light and poorer position,
this, nerve may receive severe strain.
It does not cry out or object, so far
as the child or teacher may observe,
but it does object and the retina and
optic nerve mey be permanently injur-
ed and no pain be felt.
Never strike or "cuff" small child
on the side of the head. 1t is dan
gerous practice for the eyes. If they
"see stars" it means a shock to the
optic nerve. If this excessive close
work is continued for any length of
time it means the children's eyes will
become defective and astigmatic.
In school children, at present, the
hyperopic eyes far outnumber the nor
NAL eyes.
Look into the matter of your chill
dren's eyes at once. 1t is absolutely
essential that all parents and teachers
should cooperate to do all that is pos
sible to conserve and correct the eyes
of the children.

Call Cotton Experts
to Discuss Problems

Austin, Tex.-Plans for obtaining
uniform laws on cotton production,
warehousing, rural credits, and stand
ardization of farm products in south
ern states will be outlined at con-
ference to be held at some southern
city the latter part of November, Call
for the conference has been made by
Charles E. Baughman, Texas commits
sioner of markets and warehouses, who
proposes the meeting.
Invitations have been sent by Com
missioner Baughman to governors and
agricultural officials of Is states, and
officials of a dozen states have signi-
fed their intention of attending. Mr..
Baughman has brought together. in
formation regarding conditions in the
various states on production of cot
ton and other crops, and this will be
presented to the conference as bas
is for working out uniform laws. He
proposes that at the close of the con-
ference an association on uniform ag-
ricultural laws be organized, the prim-
airy purpose of which will be to cary
into effect the proposals of the confer
ence. Laws covering different phases
of agricultural and marketing prob
lens will be worked out and present
ed to legislatures for passage.
Cooperation between the states in
terested in a common industry must
be brought about before agriculture
will be placed on a paying basis" ac-
cording to Mr.. Baughman. I'VE need
uniform laws in the southern states
as means of obtaining greater eff

crops and to insure greater stability

The states expected at the confer
ence are: Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkan-

theory is that the farmer is more
cautious at adopting the new and i'm

The real answer, of course, is that
farmers can't afford as many autos
as city folks. Even if they were on
the same level of prosperity and in
come, the farmer has quite cash in
