freo trade of tho democratic house
of representatives as a mcasuro In
jurious to tho interests of American
Industry and dangerous alike to farm
and shop."
With so much of tho resolution
that concerns Canadian reciprocity
this newspaper has no quarrel. If
republicans choose to denounco tho
pet measuro of their administration,
that is their affair. If they choose
not to stand by their president, that
also is their affair. Tho democrats
are not of mind to settle the scrap
In the neighboring yard. They know
that the kingdom of heaven awaits
the peacemaker, but they have been
so long out of heaven that they' want
to approach it by easy stages, avoid
ing shocks, and they prefer to pass
through the offices enroute.
But with so much of tho resolu
tion as relates to the farmers' freo
list bill, democrats are concerned.
They want to know wherein it will
be injurious to tho interests of the
American farmer to enable him to
buy more than 100 articles free
listed in a free trade market, with
out paying truibuto to sheltered
trusts, and without swelling the
tariff graft that in a' singlo year
amounts to more than all the graft
of all tho insurance companies of
all time. The obiter dictum of the
republicans of the Ninth district is
not enough to convince the Iowa
farmer that his interests are going
to be hurt by enabling him to buy
flour, farm machinery sewing ma
chines, wire fencing, cotton bagging,
salt and scores of other things at a
price as low as these articles, Ameri
can made, are sold in foreign coun
tries in competition with the world.
Politiciansv consulting no higher in
terest than a purely selfish one may
meet and disclaim to their hearts'
J content against the farmers free list
bill but thero has yet to bo raised
against tho democratic measuro a
singlo protest by a single Iowa far
mer considering tho bill as a farmer
and not as a partisan or a politician.
Until tho farmers rise in protest
against tho freo list bill framed
especially to benefit them, it may
safely bo assumed that the inspira
tion for the protests is in tho offices
of tho trusts whom the bill hits and
in those republican politicians who
recognize the harm to their party
in having this measuro of necessary
relief originate with the democratic
party. Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph-Herald.
ALA1HMING TENDENCY
Read what Justice Harlan said in
his dissenting opinion on the Stand
ard Oil case not dissenting from the
declaration that John D.'s trust is
illegal and oppressive but sharply
criticising the statement of the other
Judges that ANY combination in re
straint of trade may be "reasonable."
Harlan said:
"The opinion today means that the
courts may, by mere judicial con
struction, amend the legislation of
tho United States and amend the
statutory laws.
"In a decision today this court has
construed the safety appliance low.
It has previously construed the same
act; the question at issue being the
lives of men. The court was asked
to WTite into the law words not
there; it has refused and has de
clared that the law must stand as
enacted until amended by congress.
In the case of men's lives, those in
terested must go to congress for re
lief. In the case of overshadowing
combination of vast wealth and
power, -which may be a menace to
I the general business of the country,
a law which has bestowed a whole
some rule is to bo interpreted in such
a way that it will not bo necessary
for those who have appeared here aa
defendants to go to congress to have
it amended.
"If the law as written is to be
amended, congress is the only con
stitutionally co-ordinate branch of
the government with power to amend
it. It does not rest with this court
by a process of judicial legislation
wholly unjustifiable to read into the
law words not written there by the
legislative branch of the govern
ment. "Tho most alarming tendency in
my judgment so far as our institu
tions are concerned is the tendency
of judicial delay. When men of vast
interests are concerned and they can
not get lawmakers to enact amend
ments to the law aa they desire, they
spare no effort to get some cases be
fore the courts in an effort to have
tho court construe the constitution
and statute to mean what they want
them to mean." Omaha Daily News.

Go Where Irrigation Makes Crops Certain
An Opportunity for Wealth and Independence for
All Who Buy a Tract of Irrigated Land in .
the Famous Mission, Texas, Project.
If you EVER Intend to buy land, to make a change in your
condition for the better, to make an investment that is sure to
bring big returns, let us advise you by all means to investigate
the possibilities of the Famous Mission Irrigated Lands, in the
Gulf Coast Country of Texas. But do it THIS YEAR.
Hundreds of people are flocking to this valley, establishing
small and large farms, going into business, 'or buying income
bearing farms for winter homes.
There is a chance for YOU to become a member of this thriv
ing Mission colony, if you act NOW. But the opportunities to
buy in this Mission project are getting less every day. In a very
short time all of these valuable lands will be taken up, and then
you cannot buy except at prices beyond your reach.
The Mission Lands, like all other irrigated projects, aTe sell
ing rapidly. Irrigation farming is the ideal farming. At Mission
you will find intensive farming at its best. These rich lands are
cut up into 10, 20, 40 and 80 acre tracts, dotted with the homes
of happy, prosperous people. In the irrigated districts you will
find smaller farms, more homes and nearer neighbors, closer
markets and more progressive people than you will find in any
section of the country.
The cost of a round trip to this wonderful valley is less
than $30 from almost any important point in the country, but
an investigation of this opportunity NOW may mean the dif
ference between fortune and failure to you. Why not join one of
our excursions to these lands?
