Disturbing the Balance Wheel Amazing and menacing are the propositions of some of our leading public men who would de-} stroy the balance wheel of our constitutional sys- tem by impairing the power of the supreme) court to preserve our form of government in its integrity. The supreme court has been the most admired feature of our institution; no one can read our history and fail to recognize that with-) out that court, the constitution would probably | have long since perished. It has been as a great light house, and while the angry waves of popu- lar passion, time and again, have beaten with | fury upon its foundations, yet when the storm) had subsided it was recognized by all men that the lamp of the constitution s continued to} send forth its benignant rays upon the troubled | waters. It is now gravely proposed by some capable and patriotic leaders of thought, that this uni- que and indispensable feature of our institu- tion should be impaired, if not practically de stroyed, so that the legislatures of state and nation may have greatcr power to pass statutes in violation of the wise limitations of the con- stitution. Thus it is proposed that a law where consti- tutionality is assailed shall not be invalidated unless at least seven of the nine justices are of opinion that the law is unconstitutional. It would thus be within the power of three justices to prevent the court from taking an ac- tion which two-thirds of that great tribunal re- garded as essential to the preservation of the constitution. Some day we may have a radical president and in the four or eight years of his power he may well have the appointment of three justices of the supreme court. Thus a radical faction could be formed in the supreme court which would make it impossible for many years, for that court to discharge its great duty of pre- serving the constitution. Indeed the unanimous decision of the court might be thus destroyed, for the court does not always have a full bench and, at times, through death or illness, only six) justices actually may be sitting. If therefore such a court was unanimously of opinion that a statute could not be enforced without violating the constitution, nevertheless its decision would be ullified because theree ab- sent justices did not concur in the judgment. A man could thus be deprived arbitrarily of liberty and even life in violation of the sacred guaran- ties of the constitution because, although six justices of the court were unanimously of opin jon that the guaranties protected him from the unjust statute, the absence of three justices hay- ing destroyed the power of the court. Hull, The Farmer and The Tariff The farmers have exported more products of | all kinds during the last three years than in any jests can produce them—and England's dairy in- \suade the American farmer to accept such a Che Casper the law of supply and demand in international trade he would be compelled to sell his wheat from twelve to twenty cents per bushel lower than he now does, He would be compelled to compete with New Zealand and Scandanavian dairy products which are driving the dairy| interests of Great Britain into bankruptcy’ because they can and do lay their products down in England at less than the English dairy inter- terests are producing at much less cost than American dairymen can.

Fruits of Primary The conyention system was condemned because it facilitated deals between political bosses, and because it was supposed to interfere with the free selection of candidates by the voters. The primary system was to be an ideal ar- rangement whereby the voters of the party would have‘ before them all the candidates from whom the majority would select the best as the party nominee to be voted for at the election. It was believed that intraparty rivalry would cause the best candidate to be nominated, and that the resulting struggle between parties would always make certain the election of the io says there is bound to be some loss in spite of anything the farmers can do however. If clear weather holds for a week before the grain growers try to thresh, total loss will be avo'ded, is heavy, few farmers will lose on thelr crops, Mr, Denio predicted. Trying to thresh too soon is a sure source of loses, in his opinion. Writes of Accident the grain begins sprouting. Mr. Den-| and as the general yield this season | best man. But this ideal has not been attained. The primary system is working far greater in- jury to the country than was inflicted by the old convention system. The type of men elected to office now does not bear comparison with the type elected under the old convention system. The primaries do not represent the majorit: They are notoriously manipulated by minorities. Some of the blatherskites who are coming to the next senate were nominated by less than 30 per cent of their party vote at the primaries. They would never have been selected for congress by the most corrupt of party bosses or legislatures under the old system. In City and Country Congress, according to Prohibition Director Haynes, purposely refrained from interfering with farmers in the making of hard cider and wine from fruit juices, and their old privilege of home brew—in the isolated farm house or rural stead act does not define the alcoholic content of home brew—in the isolated farm house or rural community. Representative Hill of Baltimore, with mar other persons who are not farmers, would to know why a habit which is harmless on farms is harmful in cities, towns and non-rural urbs. If hard cider and wine can be manufac- tured in one type of home, why not in another? it is asked. And if the Volstead act discriminates against home brew in city, town or suburb, is it not class legislation and to that extent uncon- stitutional? Mr. Haynes has been challenged to “interfere” with home brew in a Baltimore home. He may or may not accept the challenge. But the issue he has raised will have to be decided ultimately in the courts. In some states all home brew has been held contrary to prohibition enforcement acts, while in others the question is open. So far as federal legislation is concerned, the nation cannot long remain half free and half not free to enjoy the benefits of home brew. 5 The Insidious Communism A_ well organized communist party has existed Coat Mn ste sa sta tavtastadadta a a ee aa a ae acd RAWLINS—George Jordan of this city, a few days since received a letter from his son George, Jr. giv- ing details of his experience when the U. 8. destroyer Dolphin went onto the rocks near San Diego re- cently. Young Jordan who was born and raised in Rawlins, enlisted in the navy a couple of years since and some time past was attached to the Dolphin as chief pharmacist. At the time this destroyer went onto the rocks George was making his last trip on it, being on his way to San Diego where he was going to enter the government hospital as an interne in order to further pur- sue his studfes in pharmacy. In his letter to his father George i/states that when the Dolphin went onto the rocks most of the crew was thrown into the waters although about a dozen sailors were caught KA Pratecte rer tery fo + saving Me + =e On Mr % |in this country since 1910 whose avowed aim is to + overthrow the government of the United Sunvap Cridune It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned in, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined. in the wreck and were drowned like; “rats in a trap.” He states that he | was thrown into the water but man- aged to catch hold of some drifting | wood and to keep afloat until picked | | up by rescue boats.. He was in the; | water for over two and a half hours | and states that many times during! that period he thought he was a! “goner” as the waves would break) his hold and he would be thrown! back into the water without having| }anything at all to hold on to.

The letter of Young Jordan was very interesting as a who'e and gave many details of the wreck which the daily papers failed to carry in their news items. The many friends of this young | man rejoice to know that he did not perish in this wreck as did so many |of his shipmates and all are pleased| |to learn of his advancement in his! | chosen line of work. 4 . Appointed Assessor | canes | LUSK—The county commissioners | appointed C. A. Whelan of Manville |to fill the unexpired term of C. A. \Gard as county assessor, to serve| until the general election in Novem- ber, 1924, | Mr. Whelan {s familiar with the work bestowed upon him. He was appointed deputy assessor by Mr. |Gard to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Verna Dean. Mr. Whelan has also been connected with the office for several years, having served as district assessor for the west part of Niobrara county. In all his duties he has given gener- al satisfaction and the ‘mpression jhe has made upon the public is that he 1s competent to fill the office to |which he has been appointed. pec itare false el sets Why Not Sugar Beets DOUGLAS—Mayor T. D. Deitsch of Scottsbluff, Neb., was a Douglas visitor this week. Mr. Deitsch, in talking of the growth of towns said that his town, now a city of some eight or ten thousand people, was a lttle town of about 2,000 when the matter of growing sugar beets was taken up and pushed forward. They now have a large sugar beet factory and several more in near- by towns. He attributes the growth of Scottsbluff ry largely to the sugar beets and feeding industries growing out of the sugor beet rais- ing. He said there was no reason at all why Douglas with its splendid soll should not duplicate the work of his city in a few years’ time. The attention of Douglas should be directed towards the matter of sugar beet raising. It is well worth try- ing. We have the right kind of soil and plenty of it. Why not try it? pe bean laine Rawlins ‘Apples RAWLINS—Mrzs. J. A. Donnell is showing some very fine apples grown at her home in this city Many years ago Mr. J. A. Donnell planted in the yard of his home on Fourth street several apple trees, although friends and neighbors ridiculed him for doing so. At that time it was thought that no kind of trees could be grown in this city and that it would be impossible to grow fruit of any kind. However, some of the trees plant- ed by Mr. Donnell grew and for several years past many excellent apples have been raised These trees have been such a novelty to the youngsters of the city that it has been almost an impossibility to protect the apples until they ma- tured. This season Mrs. Donnell enclosed these trees with wire and as a result a nice quanity of ap- ples are being gathered. ———— Converse County Floods DOUGLAS—Converse county will be among the big losers on account of the damage to roads and bridges by the floods. The Clayton bridge across the Platte, erected but a few months ago, was taken out complete and a considerable portion of the wreckage is strewn across the flat above the Fetterman bridge. The Careyhurst bridge has been damaged and considerable piling has been taken out, but it held. The Glen- rock bridge was so damaged that it became dangerous to traffic and will not be usable until strengthen- | Sresooesoeteetodieateateeeoateatestocieste-eeodirateateatedte strc eet aie dere rete Arete ergo ree | Are You One of the Many.

The Muddy bridge has been con- siderably weakened, but remained intact. Smaller bridges throughout the storm area have been carried away and practically all of the roads will require a great deal of work ance them to any kind of con- lon. Close Tourist Park SHERIDAN—After having given shelter to an estimate 24,000 tourists this summer, the tourist camping Bround at Ploneer park is to be closed this week for the winter. Workmen are disconnecting the tel- ephone, shutting off the water, and cleaning the camp building. With the exception of West Vir- ginia every state in the union has been represented at the tourist camp- ing ground this year, it !s stated by the tourist park committee of the Commercial club. The committee also estimates that merchants of the city have derived between $120,000 and $150,000 during the summer from tourist business alone. Big Squash GILLETTE—Just now there ts being many samples of agricultural Products being shown in local store ‘windows, Just now the center of attraction is a large squash which was raised by Commissioner E. E. Berry, of Recluse. It weighs 87 pounds and is so large that one can hardly get hold of it to camy It. Mr. Berry also brought in samples of golden bantam sweet corn, Mormon pop corn, and white dent, all of which would attract attention anywhere because of their unusual size as well {as excellent quality. Fred Oedekoven, also of the rich farming country near Recluse, sent in with Mr. Berry some fine samples including white dent, Shen- andoah yellow, and some carrots, and they look like prize winners. { | OING OUT OF BUSINESS Our Entire Stock to be Closed Out NOTHING RESERVED Utah Peas, No. 2 can, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1923. Unfortunate War Veteran SHERIDAN—Pending an investi- gation of his sanity, William Wall- ing, Jr., of Dayton, apprehended by W. C. Dunning, special deputy sher- iff, is being held by county officers. Walling, who is a grauate of the Sheridan high schoo! and a member of one of the pioneer families of northern Wyoming, is said to have attempted to murder some of his neighbors with a rifle. He was ap prehended, however, culty, ‘Walling was one of the first men of Sheridan county to enlist during the World War, and has a brilliant service record. During his service, he was badly gassed and it is believed that this may have caused his peresnt men- tal condition. He also suffered from heart disease and after his discharge received vocational train- ing and compensation. September Rains LANDER—The local weather of- fice gives out the information that a total of 3.70 inches of moisture fell during the rain storm of last Thursday and Friday, which was the heaviest. September rainfall on rec ord at the weather office during the 32 years of record keeping. The greatest amount of moisture which fell during any 24 consecu tive hours was 3.24 inches, which with but one exception, is the great est 24 hour fall for any month dur. ing the history of the local weather office. On April 29 and 80, 1895, there was recorded a 24 hour fall of 3.45 inches of moisture, The total rainfall for September this year is 5.20 inches, the heaviest September total on record.

There are campaign has proven that many women have of the Democratic national committee, attempts |"0W published in this country 567 radical pape to sidestep it in a statement in which he says: “They (Republicans) point to the quantity of farm products while they keep completely lent about the prices, as though the farmers were in terested in quantity exported, rather than prices received.” It is not the farmer who is interested in the quantity exported—it is the international free trade propagandist, like Mr. Hull, who is in-| terested in that and who has been yawping for months that the cause of low farm prices was the alleged loss of our European markets, due to our “Chinese wall” tariff and foreign policy of abstention from European entanglements, The Republicans have been telling the farmer the quantity of his exports has little or nothing to do with his prosperity. If so he would be roll- ing wealth during the last three years; he would have been in clover in 1921—the year our farm exports were the greatest in history, The Republicans have been telling the farmer his prosperity depends upon his home market. It is a fact, as cold as ice, as tangible as grind- stones. The record of farm prices for thirty years proves conclusively that they go up or aown according to domestic consumption (not exports) and domestic consumption depends up- on American industrial activity. ‘This fact has been set down in black and white in an official report on agricultural conditions, signed by such Democrats as Pat Harrison, om Mississippi, and Joseph Robinson of Arkansas. Industrial acticity in America depends upon American industries supplying American con- sumers. They cannot do this if foreign industries supply them. Every foreign made article sold in this country means one less American-made art- icle sold—and that means the American work- ingman who makes it being thrown out of a job. The proof of this is written indelibly upon the pages of Aimerican history. A Democratic tariff has invariably meant industrial depres- sion in the United States unemployment on the increase and prices of farm products on the decrease. Continuing, Chairman Hull complains that the} tariff has prevented the law of supply and de- mand from operating in our international trade affairs.
