His Idea of Anarchy ~ “To condemn the supreme court is little short of anarchy,” according to Governor Richardson of Califor- nia. Is it? Has he never read Lincoln's condemnation of the supreme court’s decision in the Dred Scott case, to which condemnation the country gave its seal of ap- proval in the civil war? Some 20 years ago, Judge Taft ‘said, “The opportunity freely and publicly to criticise judi- cial action is vastly more important to the body politic than the immunity of courts and judges from unjust as- : ions and attack. Nothing tends more to render careful in their decisions and anxiously solicitous to do exact justice, than the consciousness that every act of theirs is to be subjected to the intelligent scrutiny and candid criticisms of their fellow-me Nothing will more surely undermine both our consti- _ tution and courts than the idea that the courts are be- Yond criticism. A republic can never tolerate a doctrine Of lese majeste as to any of its officials, judicial or oth- erwise. We believe in courts. But their efficiency and integrity can be maintained only if their acts are subject to public scrutiny or public criticism. ' - Nothing better illustrates the antiquated ideas of the present governor of California than his refusal to ac- the invitation of Gov. Hart of Washington, to con- si plans for voicing a protest against the supreme court’s decision invalidating the minimum wage law for women. _ Gents contemplating a trip to Russia had betier pause. Our state department refuses admission to Mrs. Kalinin, wife of the soviet presi- dent, and it’s an example that old Lenin will swing with both hands, _ Lloyd George sits in his seat in parliament and smiles and smiles as the laborites biff Bonar Law. One tells us she doesn’t mind her fellow stealing a kiss so much, if he steals it from her. _ Now that spring is here, we are all seeing better days. Where It Hurts It is the way of folks. You sink your money in a “dry one,” and the oil well @ rod away spots 2,000 barrels an hour. You hold three aces and two kings, and the beginner at your left garners four lovely deuces. You open a store on the west side ‘of A st., and the old hand on the east side of the same Street outsells you into bankruptcy. You get up a great invention, and a month later patent is granted another that makes yours a joke. You study up a glorious given Tame for the coming son, and it’s twin girls. You put two years into a book to revolutionize and elevate public thought, and six sex novels are the six best sellers, And you do these things over and over again, You're sore. But you are sore at the winner, not at the game. It is the way of folks. They are trying to stop cannibalism in South Africa, and it is best to send skinny missionaries, The City of the Future A flying flivver, weighing only 205 pounds, is perfected by the British government. It has a 7-horsepower engine and travels 25 to 48 miles an hour. _ This gives you a glimpse into the future when air- _ planes ill be cheap and fool-proof. Men won't have to . y in cities then, to be near work.
