The Tribune is unable to fix the blame, but the manner in wich the board of regents clear up the sit- uation will be a measure of that board's efficiency. President Ladd may be able tc serve the state better as head of the department, of chemistry with super- vision over the enforcement of the food and beverage acts. As far as, appears on the surface there is no disposition. to dispense with Dr. Ladd’s services. But surely the board of regents has the power to use Dr. Ladd where he will best serve the The Tribune is not at all interested in the issue of veracity raised in the controversy. Whether Ladd was ask- ed to resign or to vacate some of his nunierows jobs and concentrate his energies on duties he is best fitted for is; not vital here, but the welfare of the Agricultural college is funda- mental, more important to the people of the state than the personal “peeves” and aversions of the faculty and the members of the board of re gents. One thing is certain. Either the board of regents must run the insti- tution without dictation from mem- bers of the faculty or else give way to others who can cope with the sit- uation. Passing the lie is hardly a dignified position for our educational leaders. It arrives nowhere, but does irreparable injury to an institution in which the state takes a just pride. WITHOUT A HITCH, Pershing’s army landed in France without the loss of a man. Carried right through the subma- rine zone without a scratch. Canada has sent 400,000 men across the zone infested by the sea snakes, without the loss of a life. But merchant ships are torpedoed almost hourly. What is the answer to the riddle? Simply this—convoy—protection of transports by destroyers, mine sweep- ers and scouting airplanes. Transporting an army is a military and naval enterprise. The British admiralty and our own navy can see that, and concentrate on the main pro3lem, protecting the ships. But from all the available informa- tion, the British admiralty has never yet seen that the delivery of freight to British ports—the protection or merchant shipping—is not only a na- val problem of the war. In the words of a distinguished naval officer in one of the Entente missions visiting Washington, “The British can't see shipping; can see is the big battle.” The British admiralty, the only mil- itary machine which has gone through the war without a big shake up and the abolition of the foolish all they M navy set its patrol forces to the real task—the convoying of merenant ships. Pershing’s arrival shows what the convoy and protected sea lane will do. The navies must become the traf- fic cops of the ocean. A WOMAN’S PART. Let us not deceive ourselves as to the serious part American women are to play in the war in the months to come. To say nothing of the work of nursing, of food conservation, and of preparing hospital supplies for the -,|Red Cross, there will come the more personal burden. There will be good-byes to be said, farewells to be spoken, in which the smiles must conceal the tears and the heartaches. No soldier at the front will perform any braver action than this. No soldier will have to call more upon the reserves of his courage and his love of country. The wives and mothers and sisters and sweethearts will know it is their duty to send ‘the boys away in cheerful mood, and they will superbly meet the issue. ‘But there will be even greater hours later, when American woman- hood will be called upon to face one of the severest tests. War means wounded men and the first impulse of the loving woman is to fly to the bedside of her dear one. It is pre- cisely this ministration and this com- fort of devotion that will be denied to her. The scarcity of food on the other side of the Atlantic, the dearth of ships, the danger of submarines—al) these things place an absolute veto upon the desire of American women to attend their wounded. They will have to remain in this country. They will have to bear the long hours of suspense. They will have to wait with longing hearts for news. No one who knows the American woman has any doubt of the outcome. The same splendid fortitude and brav- ery that has marked Columbia’s daughters in every war and every crisis the country has ever faced, will once more be displayed. Men will be risking their lives for the flag. Women—God bless them and comfort them—will be literally laying their hea¥fs upon the altar of devotion to their country.

Welch left | | City ordinances prohibit the use of| Prussianism’s Medal of Honor What are the causes of judicial in- efficiency; why do courts waste time in hearing arguments without decid- ing cases? When in one week the judges hear arguments in 12 or more cases, why do they not write up and} sign up and dispose of them during the same or the next week, so as to average, al least one decision a day? Thé reason is that in court business, there is no business system. Hence, the business is delayed and the work of the court is doubled. One judge writes a decision and gives a copy to! each of the other judges, who should examine it and concur or dissent with- in'a week; but after the lapse of sev- eral weeks when a conference is call- ed, one or more judges have not ex- amined the case and so it goes over from week to week or month to month. One cause of it is the absence of the judges. They do not seem to realize that they have sworn to do their duty faithfully, and that their duty is to be on time and at their work during business hours of every day, just the same as other hired men who get less pay. To one brother judge 1 sa: What nieans it that one judge is absent to- day? The answer it: Has he not a perfect right to be absent? I say: ‘No, sir; he has no more right than any other hired man to steal his time and leave his work undone. The theft of time is even worse than the theft of money.

It is all on charity. He i writes: Charity suffereth long and is kind. Though I speak with the ton- gues of men and/of angels, and have not charity, Iam become as sounding brass.and as a_ tinkling cymbal. Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though [ have all faith so that I could remove moun- tains, and have not charity, 1 am noth- ing. And now abideth three things, faith, hope and charity; but the great- est of these is charity. Here is one of my late decisions written in the spirit of justice and charity: State vs. Bennett. When, a party offends against the law he may be punished by the law jand as provided by the law, but not | by destroying his property or dispos- sessing him of house or home or j lands. Robinson, J.: This is ‘an appeal from a judgment or order which is to the effect that the defendants have kept in Bismarck a bawdy house and that the sheriff take possession of the house and keep it securely locked for one year and destroy all the stoves, beds, furniture and furnishing of the j house, amounting to the value of Hl $2,000 or $3,000. The proceeding was |commenced by warrant or order | signed: by the judge directing any | sheriff, constable or policeman to take possession of the house and to lock jand hold the same with all the per- sonal property therein. If the judgment is valid, then the most innocent party in Bismarck may be charged with the keepiag of a bawdy house and at any moment of | the day or night he may be thrown {out of his house and home and have jit locked up and his property . de- stroyed. Such a procedure is un- known to common sense and common reason. It leads to the destruction of civil liberty, the burning of Salem witches and the persecution of those who do not think as we do. Saturday Evening Letter By Justice J. E. Robinson spell of modern ‘reform if some irre- sponsible detective, working. for his dirty fee, makes affidavit, whether true or false, charging a person with the keeping of.a bawdy house, then a party may; be thrown out of his house and-the house ard all the prop- erty destroyed, and as in this case, it may all’be done in a summary man- ner and without a trial by jury. And still the constitution provides: The right of tril by jury shall be secured’ to all and shall remain in- violate. Under constitutional law be- fore’ the courts thay hang a man or send him to state’s prison or throw him out of his-house or destroy his property, they ‘must give him a trial by jury. The right of trial by jury the right, to. abate, forbidden houses and to destroy property. Indeed, the constitution contains nothing to war- rant the destruction of property and it does protect property to the same extent that it protects life and lib- erty. -It reads: All men are by na- ture equally free and independent and have certain inalienable rigits, among which are those of enjoying and de- fending life and’ liberty; acquiring, possessing and protecting property and reputation and pursuing and ob- taining safety and happiness. The right of trial by jury: shall be secured is a thousand times more sacred than} i to’all and shall remain inviolate. No person shall be compelled in any crim- inal case to be a witness against him- self or be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed. nor shall cruel or unusual punishment he in- flicted. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated, | All courts shall be open and every person for any injury done him in his Jands, goods, person or reputation shall have a remedy by due process of law and right and justice administereq, with- out sale, denial'or delay. : These are among the most sacred provisions. of the constitution... They can not be too often repeated. It were well to commit them to memory and to repeat them morning and evening as we do the Lord’s prayer and the ten command The.action is un- der chapt Jaws of 1911, which, was house bill No, 136. At the close of the session the dill was rushed through and passed without reading or discussion, contrary to the consti- tution. The act declared every bawdy house to be a common nuisance, to abate which an action may be com- menced by any person in the name of the state and that at the commence- ment of such action on an affidavit stating the offense, the judge must grant an injunction and issue a war- rant commanding the officer to take possession of the house and to secure- ly lock and hold the same to abide | punished by the law and as provided Pas encore mais Les Frangais sont Lay Fran8 say son’ Have you many aviators? .

Then it is pro- vided, that a final judgment against the accused shall direct the officer to shut up and abate the place and to keep the same securely closed for one year. The statute contains nothing to war- rant the destruction of personal prop- erty, and if it did, it would be clearly void, and it is void in declaring a house to be a public nuisance, when in fact it may not be a nuisance. A house may be a public nuisance when it overhangs the street or whep it becomes a worthless, fire trap and ja menace to. the city, but shall we-say that a hotel is a common. nvigance and that it.should be closed for one yearby .reagon' of the fact that td some ..extent, sitjsids or may be, used, a8. :all, hotels: are, used, for” gambling,; dyinking,. and forbidden love?

When a party offends against the law he niay be by the law, but not by destroying his property or dispossessing him ' of lands or houses or home. The act in question is void.
