Disputes will wend their way to
court and that is what we have courts
for. The judges are human beings
who have their likes and dislikes and
some of them very set in their ways
and views upon different forms of
government. To many people it seems
like too much red tape and loss of
time when new legislation enacted
for the purpose of lifting the country
out of the depression has to be
dragged into court
However, in view of the fact that
many of the questions involved in
the NRA and the Roosevelt program
in general will finally go to the
United States Supreme court, many
observers are diagnosing the court
from the standpoint of liberalism and
conservatism. -Four members of the
court, Van Devanter, Sutherland, Nc
Reynolds, and Butler, are rated as
conservatives by those who have fol-
lowed decisions and opinions given
out by the court. Brandeis, Stone,
and Cordozo are rated as progress
sives. In between are justices Hughes
and Roberts who may go either way.

tenn for the entire country, while re-
solving to drive out the gangster and
the bootlegger and all his associates.
The chances are that instead OF any
such wise move there will be any num-
Der of systems. Even in New York
we have not yet come to any agree
ment The legislature has simply
turned over to a State board the
problem Of controlling the sale OF
liquor without giving any definite in
structions as to how the control shall
be, exercised. From the point of view
of the vets this is an extremely bad
state of affairs, to say nothing of its
threat to public morals. For if we
drift back into the swinish condition
of the old saloon we shall awake to
the fact that the new conditions are
just as bad. if not worse, than prOhi-
bitiOn. Let no one underestimate the
misery caused by the old system, the
crimes that were the direct result OF
the saloons, and the dreadful economic
waste. But, l hear it said, the old

FRYING THE MONEY LOOSE

We have been in the depression so
long now that we can better appre-
c1ate some of the things we formerly
had. There was for instance the
local bank in most communities. A
checking account is quite conven-
fence but is better appreciated when
we have it no more. But more than
that is the solvent bank, able to pay
out to the depOsitor the money he
has in the bank and desires to with
draw.
The national administration is NOV
ing to liquidate frozen assets in
closed banks, open the banks and
pay the depositors. That will help
some but the only gifugalty about
it is that the bank has more money
outstanding that it owes to depositors
or it would most likely not have
closed. Borrowing was the illness of
the country and that disease must
be tanned. OF course there would not
have been so much borrowing had
the farmers and laborers been paid
in accordance with their production.
Concerning the proposed opening
of banks the Morris Tribune writes:
1.-THE president has created a De-
post Liquidation board which will
lend a billion dollars to closed banks
to permit them to pay their deposit
tors. and also for the purpose of per-
hitting the orderly liquidation Of
assets. If the administration will
but carry out this project promptly,
and open the sound banks of the
country without unreasonable delay,
it will operate to revive tagging bust
ness and relieve much actual need on
account of the money which has been
tied up. The essence Of this project
is to do it quickly"

DIFFER IN OPINIONS

OF course it was to be expected
that there would be many different
opinions as to the virtue of the MIRA.
Senator L. j. Dickinson of Iowa, key
note speaker Of the 1882 Republican

advised, selfish, unavoidable, prepos-
ferrous and socialistic." Congressman

EXTREMELY UNKIND

Inc minnesota JefferSOnldn)
When Editor John L. King, of the
Jackson Pilot, and sterling Demo-
crat, took occasion recently to COM
mend a Jeffersonian editorial Editor
Eastwood of the LeSueur News
Herald, a Tom Schall Republican

in this state for purely political pub
locations such as the Jeffersonian and
that there are sufficient weekly news
papers to handle the political situa-
ton. these political organs too
often become scandal Sheets" was
the comment of the late collector of

Considering what happened to Mr..
Eastwood and the political plum that
was pried out of his historical grasp,
one can readily sympathize with his
idea that perhaps there are not only
enough but possibly too many pub
locations in Minnesota spreading
sound, unimpeachable Democratic
doctrine.
That he should take his back

which speaks for his own party, was
however. extremely unkind- Its rep

ANOTHER CHAPTER WRITTEN

The conference of five Northwest
governors with President Roosevelt
last week will undoubtedly result in
some good-effective on future leg
islation-but it was disappointing to
many that it did not result in some
immediate remedial measures for the
benefit of the farmer.
The present national administra-
tion may have thought that the bene-
fits to be derived by the farmers
through the MIRA would have come
about sooner and that there would
by this time have been little cause
for unrest amongst the rural people.
The president was reluctant to take
Oh any new experiments advocated
by the governors.
1t would seem that when prices and
rates can be fixed on railroad pas
senger fares, freight, express, street
car fares, telephone calls, telegraph,
and much other, that prices can also
be fixed on farm products. 1t is a
huge undertaking to be sure, and will
require licensing as advocated by
Governor Olson, but control can bet
ter be carried through at the mar
keting end than to limit acreage Of
production. And as he said, it must
be compulsory. The voluntary acre
age allotment will not control the
production and the amount marketed.
No one can blame the farmer fer
being dissatisfied for he has been
patted on the back and promised
something by nearly everybody since
1903 years ago, and things have
been going backward for him instead
of forward.
President Roosevelt is undoubtedly
sincere and wants to better the lot
of the rural man, but it would seem
that the start of lettering conditions
should have been made with the farm
er for he has waited the longest. Re-
financing of farm loans is now in mo-
ton and this will help some. 1t gives
fresh start. Congress which meets
soon will have the farm problem be-
fore them.

WOMEN POSTMASTERS
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The word "postmistress" may occur
in some dictionaries, but just the
same there is no such title in the
United States postal service. In the
current clamor for misunderstanding
the postal authorities have had occa-
sion to point out repeatedly and en-
phatically that such appointments are
known officially under the title OF
woman postmasters."
The Postoffice department is justi-
fed in taking this stand from the
point Of view of common usage. even
aside from any traditions of the serv-
ice. 1t is customary no longer, for
instance, to say ''poetess" or author
ess." Women who write are simply
referred to as poets" or authors"
sharing the title with men writer's.
Similarly, the terms "aviatress" and
"aviatrix" are considered unnecessary,
since aviator is correct regardless
of the sex of the operator of an air.
plane. In contrast to the tendency
to unsex words is the term actress
which. has not been replaced by "ac-
tor" in common speech.
There is no objection to the Postof-
flee departments insistence on "wom-
an postmasters." Common usage has
way of eliminating the cumbersome
and precious in language and post
mistress" has always been an I'M
necessary Termination.
