THE OLCOTT CASE.
A judicial body is ordinarily re
luctant to pass upon a question which
ia not regularly before it. In decid
ing a case it may make a statement
concerning a related point, and that
statement, being unessential to the
decision, is known as a dictum and
is not a decision on the point.
The difficulty faced by the su
preme court, in the Olcott case,
seems to have been an unwillingness
to decide a most important point by
a mere dictum. The question, before
the court was whether or not Mr.
Olcott could legally draw bis salary
as secretary of state and also a
salary as governor. The question of
his term as governor was not in
volved nor any question as to his
right to resign as secretary, con
tinue as governor and appoint a new
secretary.
Two of the justices seem to have
taken this view and to have ruled
on the salary question only. State
ments in the other opinions on the
related subject are dicta. Possibly
some way may be found to get the
question squarely before the court,
but Mr. Olcott would be perfectly
safe in going at it in another way
that is, in putting the case up to the
people by taking his chance on elec
tion next year.

J. B. Anderson, Aftent.
When Uncle Sam's armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
"ywiprlsed a force of rouyhly 150,000
craiued drivers of motortrucks, cars
and motorcycles.
Of this great force, only about half
were trained drivers when, they en
listed for the service, so It was ueces'
sary in order to have this force of
men to train 75,000 men to drive auto
motive vehicles.
The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains ami cusuul mo
torized units which first wont over
seas were composed of trained driv
ers, as a rule. Those who came after
were the men who did not know cars,
engines, or any of the problems of
driving, particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion of the roads
to the fighting xone in France. The
men who came in the second great
rush of men for the army had there
fore to be trained from the very be
ginning to know the machine, and
then to know the problems of driving
in formation on military roads.
Big Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
ing of the mechanism of the truck
engine 1 say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training of driving In military forma
tions of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war is over the prob
lem of teaching the mechanism of the
machine is by far the more important
to the commercial truck operator. As
to the military formation required in
the army, this can be disposed of
quickly.
On the Mexican border, and with
the Pershing expedition Into Mexico,
the problem of mass operations with
trucks was of minor importance. .The
drivers went forward with some sem
blance of military formation, with
certain distances between trucks, ami
with some attempt nt military cohe
sion. The truck work, however, was
more or less of a problem of every
ninn to drive Ills own machine.
New System Developed.
When the Ainerlcun iiriuy reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation, the shorter tils
Unices for imllimry hauls, uud the In
tense congestion of the roads, it was
necessary to develop u mllltury pre
cision In handling of trucks, before
Hint unheard of. The French trail
port was first to develop this pre
cision, and its vital need wan .shown
In the British offensive on the Aisne
in 1917, when the enormous uuiiibor
of over 5,300 trucks moved nn entire
British corps in military formation
Into the fighting line. Such a column
meant nearly 100 miles of length for
the train. And to have this body of
trucks operating properly the strict
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was flrst sys
tematized on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp Johnson,
Fla near Jacksonville, the mother
school of the motor transport corps,
und was soon developed luto book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given. -
To the commercial truck operator.
however, the work done to train the
drivers in the handling of their vehi
cles was far more Important. Every
man who went Into the corps wua
given a thorough training In the opera
tion ot the motor vehicles, and while
the Camp Johnston school was work
log out truck discipline enormous re
pair and shop units were In full op
eration In. other parts of the country.
Such, for Instance at Camp Holnhird.
near Baltimore, and at Atlanta, while
over in the West there were such
units as at San Antonio. These were
mechanical organizations for repair
work und for simp training.
Writes Treaty by Hand.
News dispatches from Paris report
ed the old tradition that treaties shall
be written by hand survives, nnil that
Joseph Carlo of the French ministry
of foreign affairs, official caligraphlst
end painter, wrote the new peace
trenty.
For 40 years th? post of official Ilia
rainator in the French ministry of for
eign affairs was held by M. Gnrnpln.
according to the Detroit News. He
had one love In l'fe "the pen," to
quote -his own words, "this simple
and marvelous Instrument through
which human thought Is transcribed
and forever preserved;" one hate
"Ihe vulgar and unaesthetlc typewrit
er, which prints without art pages that
time will not respect"
Miners Appreciated Books.
Officials In charge of Iowa's circulat
ing libraries were afraid to trust a
set of hooks to the people In a certain
Iowa mining district. . They were
aftald the books would not be enred
for properly, and thought lliey could
be plnced where they would be used
and appreciated more than In the min
ing town. Through the efforts of the
home demonstration agent, however,
one traveling library was sent to the
community on trial. The demonstra
tion agent Interested the schoolboys,
who mnde a ense In which the books
were plnced. This small library led
to much Interest among the people of
the town, and the demonstration agent
reports that not n single book has been
lost or destroyed.
A Great Objection,
don't take any stock In these
'ere paytent medicines," asserted Lafo
Lopp, a languid citizen of Wayover
behind. "They're nn enemy to the
human race. S'pose, now. you are
getting along all right, unable to work
b'cus you're sick; you're pretty mis
erable, of course, but people sympa
thise with yon ond respect yon. And
then somebody penuades you to tnke
a few bottles of Sn-nnd So and yon
are cured and get your picture In the
almannc. And forever afterward ev
erybody wonts to know why yon don't
go to work, dad-blnme your ornery
bide." Country Gentleman.
No Chance of Relief.
Mrnia was a tender, sentimental lit
tle thing, but, to put It mildly, hard
ly a beauty. She was very fond of
hubby, but exacted from him rather
an undue amount of attention and
service.
"Oh, George," she complnlned one
night, "I don't believe yon really lovo
me I Tell me, would you feel It, dear
if we were parted?"
"Eh what's that?" snld George,
brightening up.
"I mean. If some one were to come
nnd offer to take me nwny to n beau
tiful home and every loving cere nnd
all the rest that money could buy,
how would you feel?"
"It won't happen," hp answered, re
InpHlng Into moody silence.
Made a Hit.

Actor Yes, your honor.

Actor The egg was, your honor, but
the aim was not.
