They are presented bere in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. GIVING THE COURTS TO MUCH TO DO That the dockets of the Federal courts are crowded with arrears of business is a fact due to . various causes, one of them being the unusually large number of cases arising from sumptuary laws; and the bill now pending in the senate to provide for more judges is, as Chief Justice Taft hn. Pointed out in an address to the New York County Lawyers’ association, “the first important step ito meet the exigency.” But a bill even more de- sirable, in a sense, is that just introduced in hoth’ houses, of which the main purpose is “to reduce ithe obligatory jurisdiction of the supreme court?’ As thimgs are, too many cases go to that court which ought never to have been carried there. The measure which the chief justice commends would limit the right of appeal to the highest |judicial body in the land.

Yf these are tho only de- fenders of the farmers program or the only candidates for leadership, then mzy a kind Providence temper the wind to the already shorn lamb. The recall placed Gov. Nestos, At- torney General Johnson and Joseph A. Kitchen in power. Handicapped by ‘the I V, A. program, these men have made ah honest effort to re-establish the credit of the state and step by step ‘to restoré® conditfons to normal- cy. It is reasonable to suppose ‘that both ‘Nostos and Kitehen~ will seek: nomination upon the Republican. pri- mary ballot. Mr. Johnson is a Demo- crat and it is not divulged yet whether he will seek to be returned to the same office by his own party nomina- tion or se2k a place on the state su- preme bench, But whatever the alignments, the brazen attempt on the part of Town- ley to foist his balance of power upon the people to save a program that is farmers nothing is amusing in the ex- treme. The antics of Liederbach on the other hand who was repudiated in the recall election and has every evi- dence of being a lame duck are equally as ludicrous. ; * * This situation, voters of th» state, is a political crisis that should rally {the Republicans of the state under a definite plan to drive such political mountebanks out of power decisively. The rank and ‘file of the nonpartisan league are: honest farmers who have ‘suffered injustices which Townley and his crew promised to correct. These | men had the grestest power ever giv- en an administration to right some of those wrongs. In comparison to the iremnant of power roferred to by Townley as the “balance,” this same Townley and his political parasites ‘had enough power once to do much that they promised the farmers, but they frittered away their time on side ishgws and allowed a bunch of self seekers to fatten at the public trough. Unfortunately the I. V.

By the Pot Boiler. impossible of fulfillment as the Town- ley program, The léaders of that mugwump organization are becoming ag arrogant and dictatorial as the league crowd, so much so that many Republicans are beginning to realize that unless some strong Republican organization is perfected, the state will go from the clutches of one group of self seeking politicians to those of another little better and just as greedy for the emoluments of public Office. ee * The I, V. A. has served the purpose for which it was-organized. By rais- |ing the hue and cry of balance of power, MoKenzieism and a hest of other age worn and moth eaten shib- boleths, its leaders hope to create in this state a machine as menacing as any Townley or his cohorts built. The farmers are realizing that if they had spent half the money that went into the league Utopia and side lines, in organizing themselves into qooperative units and directing their own business in their own way, con- ditions would have been decidedly different today. To continue to support any of the mugwump organizations merely post- pones the return to control of gov- ernment by party rule and _ action. More progress has been made by the vegularly established party control, as imperfect as it is, than by a fusion of disecrdant elements to accomplish,the ‘political downfall of candidatés or to satisfy political grudges.
