A Colorado Springs dispatch, car
ried by the Associated Press, says:
Denouncing the "yellow journals" as
scandal mongers and outlaws, Judge
Smith McPherson of the Unitod
States district court of Iowa, in a
paper read at a recent sesion of the
National Press association, also de
fended the liberty of the press and
the rights of newspapers to critcise
courts. Judge McPherson was not
present personally, and his paper was
read. Referring to the ciitcism of
courts, Judge McPherson said:
"Many judges think because they
wear the robes of office they should
be beyond criticism. This is a fal
lacy. A judge must command re
spect in some other way. Ho can
not command respect by becoming a
recluse, wearing a silk hat or a
white tie, or by speaking in gutteral
tones of voice. To say he should be
honest is understood by all. It is not
much credit for a man to have it said
of him that he is honest.
"It is idle talk to the effect that
courts are not subject to criticism.
We freely discuss the president of
the United States. Some say the
president is right, some that ho Is
wrong. But none charge the presi
dent with being corrupt. So it is
with cabinet officers, and so it should
be with courts. Such criticism will
not be harmful, but helpful. Courts
in the past have undertaken to
punish newspaper proprietors be
cause of criticism of courts. That
practice is virtually obsolete, as it
should be.
"No judge ever yet has maintained
his dignity and never will by bring
ing an editor before his court and
punishing him because of animad
versions made through the columns
of his paper."
His paper discussed briefly the
newspaper critcism arising from the
anti-alien land law passed by the
California legislature, and declared
that "if there is any conflict between
the statute and the treaty between
Japan and this country, can any man
doubt which must give way? Can
California or any other state ride
down a treaty? The constitution
says that this constitution and all
treaties made thereunder shall be the
supreme law of the land, and if a
statute and a treaty are in conflict
that which is supreme must prevail."
That's tho way a user who has had a lot of personal separator ex
perience and opportunity to observo a great deal of other people's
experienco ably dcHcrlbos tho meaning of tno
namo "Do Laval" on a separator "a separator

To many buyers of a cream soparator and
other farm machinory thoro's more meaning in
that simple statement of fact than in a hundred
other claims and arguments that might easily
