ays ad ery ona 1 & a_at i s (Reprinted from the Los Angeles Record.) While the city and county governments and the people up ; Seattle were protesting against that infamous injunction ted by United States Judge Hanford, the president of the tle, Renton & Southern railway, William R. Crawford, was Prrested by a county officer for violating the public utilities law, iprescribing street railway fares President Crawford was arraigned before Justice Fred C. {Brown of Seattle and sentenced to 30 days in jail, We think t the whole nation should learn what Justice Brown said, faVe particularly recommend his judgment to the New York rt of appeals, the United States supreme court, and all other fon: suffering from a diseased judiciary. We would like to ear what Woodrow Wilson says about it, for Wilson is surely ting to be a big, big man, We commend it to Rill Taft as a ight, original thought to include in one of his Western ches, if he gets hard up for original thoughts, Listen to ice Brown: f “A fine on a big corporation is a nullity. When a corpora- lon violates the law; the remedy is to punish the individual d of the corporation. Otherwise the corporatigns could pay fine and go on in old, old way. If, instead of being fined 000,000, the Standlrd Oil companyyor any of those big cor- tions suffered purishment by having their big men go to il, the law would no’ be held in disrespect, as it seems to be metimes. In this case, Crawford could keep right on collect cs illegal overcharges and keep right on paying fines; the extra res would take care of the fines and leave a handsome profit ides. But when the officers of a corporation must go to all, it’s a vital shot, and the LAWBREAKING STOPS.” Of course Justice Brown's decision doesn't end it, Craw- is out on bail. He will take the matter to the district court, e superior court, the court of appeals, the supreme court, the ict federal court, the United States supreme court, and, oh, ! we don’t know to ho-y many other courts, But one thing lustice Brown has settled, and that is that there's one man on ¢ judicial bench who knows a cure for the brazen tyranny of ations that try to rule and rob with the aid of a sodden Poahiry BANKS throughout the country show decreases in loans.

Out inthe ocean, off the Southern California coast, is*a at meadow, It is made up largely of kelp, one of the mighti- Bo all the world of vegetation, a great snake-like plant that lastens its roots around the rocks at the bottom of the sea _ sends up branches, a hundred or more feet long, bearing autiful leaves and “fruits” as big as pumpkins. Now, man is going to mow that meadow—literally mow the sea. It is another instance wherein man has been slow in @iscovering the goodness of the Creator, for it is just learned that this hay of the sea is fine fertilizer. It contains nitrogen, Wwhich makes stalks and leaves; phosphoric acid, which makes buds and blossoms ; and potash, which gives size and quality to fruits, grains and vegetables. Annually we pour millions and Millions of dollars’ worth of fertilizer into the sea. We will it back to the starved land by mowing the sea “Mowing” is the word for the process of recovery, too. A fompany drganized at San Diego first tried fastening a 20-foot Scythe to a boat and sending the latter up and down the sea ioe with a swing to the scythe, just as you used to swing in mowing out the fence corners ‘way back there in the farm ys, when you wanted to go fishing or squirrel hunting in- stead. But the sea scythe didn’t. cut fast enough, just as dad about you on that fence-corner job, and so a steamer s been rigged up with whirligig knives, fixed on jack shafts at right angles to the keel of the boat, and the sea will be mowed. Evolution? Yes, from the ‘farmer's boy with his scythe, in the fence corner, to the corporation mowing the ocean by steam. DR. HENRY SMITH WILLIAMS says that to be really happy ve got to wrestle once a day. Humph! We do it twiee a day—try- to find a place on our car to put our new tan shoee—but It doe ; seem to increase the joyful feeling any. Declaring the Price Five hundred cotton growers and as many bankers, con- essmen and business men in convention at Montgomery, re- golve that cotton is worth 15 cents a pound and that the growers shall hold for this price. Sounds sort of tyrannical and trustlike to us consumers, but why not? li the cotton producer doesn’t fix prices some Patten pool will, and we'd prefer having the feathers plucked from us ¢on- suming geese go to the growers rather than to the gamblers.
