Courts and Common Sense
The Corvallis Gazette-Times, whose veneration for courts
id exceeded only by its idolatry of corporations, takes ex-
ception to the assertion of the The Capital Journal that the
decision of Illinois courts holding that there is no divine
right of kings statute to shield a governor from answering
for crimes, was "remarkable for its common sense" and
declares :
We don't think there is anything remarkable about It. All
court decisions that finally become the accepted law of the land
are founded on common sense.
Court decisions are based upon precedent and pressure of
public opinion and common sense is not considered as any
part of judicial training or practice. When an occasional
judge, like Henry McGinn, replaces precedent with com
mon sense, in order that justice may obtain, he is regarded;
with legal horror. Common sense is so rare in courts that itsj
exercise is news news consisting in the presentation of thej
unusual. -
What some bewigged jurist held some musty centuries
ago is of more moment in most any American court than!
wuuuvu-Bciiae ; cumiicung opinion oi 4U anierent courts
in as many states is more important : in fact the lawyer
that can dig-out the most citations of previous decisions to
favor his stand, wins his case and the lawyer who bases his
appeal upon common sense is predestined to failure.
Courts were primarily devised to protect vested rights and
feudal privileges. Administration of justice rested with the
king and the first duty of the court was to shield the divine
right of kings and their appointees, including the courts.
Though the evolution of democracy has gradually altered the
character of courts to conform, they have never entirely lost
the old view-point as reflected in the prestige of precedent
and in the super-importance of technicality and quibble.
When a court holds that the divine right doctrine does not
apply to the executive head of the state, who must be held
accountable for sins as other citizens are, it is a commensense
decision although doubtless highly displeasing to the
Gazette-Times, which probably views it with consternation
and dismay as an attack upon vested rights and the sancity
of authority.

Three Square

New York, Aug. 6 - Investiga

that the number of workers who
dully flock into the financial dis
trict of lower Manhattan exceed
1,500.000. If they were assem

Then and Now
Mark Sullivan, political writer, has discovered that "The
naming of America's representatives in the coming inter
national disarmament conference at Washington is wholly
President Harding's prerogative, and that the senate does
not have the privilege of 'advice and consent'."
So was the naming of America's representatives at the
Paris peace conference the exclusive prerogative of the
president yet because the president did not consult the
senate on the appointments, the senate killed the peace
treaty while denouncing the executive as a usurper and
tyrant and the republican press of the country echoed the
charges. i
It is to be hoped that President Harding escapes more
fortunately than his predecessor and that when disarma
ment treaties are prepared that the senate will not kill them
merely because the senate was not consulted in the appoint
ment or proceedure. In this instance the small minds of the
senate should not seek to make history repeat itself.

Lot ub not love In word, neither In tongue; but In deed and In

the heat of passion, with great provocation either real or fancied.
Hut treason never i. doue on the spur of a moment. Before one can
commit treason to Ood, state or brethern, one first must have assumed
the obligation of loyalty. Thus when treason is done, a trust Is be

and be thought it would be all
right if he did not go until next
week. It seems she knew she was
going to have the operation, but
decided not to tell him -about it
until he got home. As soon as
she received his letter saying he
was here, his father wired him to
come as soon as possible. Larry
says to tell you goodbye."
Bart had not given me a chance
to say a word before he hung up.
I tried to get him again, think
ing perhaps that we had been cut
off by mistake, but found that he
had gone.
I was selfish enough to feel a
little relieved when I knew that
I did not have the entertainment
of the boys upon my hands. I
was very sorry for Lurry and 1
was glad that Bart was going
home with him, but just at this
moment my own affairs pressed
heavily on my mind. Hurriedly.
I rang for my coffee and Hannah,
coming in, said: "I saw that you
were asleep. Mrs. Hammers!', and
did not even dare to shut your
window blinds, for I knew It was
very late when your caller left.
In fact, I heard you when you
opened your windows this morn
ing." "Has anyone called for me.
Hannah?"
"Yes, about twenty minutes ago
there was a call from your office
asking if you would be down to
day. I told them that you were
still resting for you had been un
able to sleep until very late, and
that as soon as you awakened 1
would ask you to call them."
"All right, Hannah. Call up
the office and say that I will be
down in three quarters of an
hour."
As I went through the door of
the bathroom I heand my tele
phone bell ringing again and
"Were you not at the hotel
last evening dancing and ogling
the men of that Elk's conven
tion?" he asked a little uncer
tainly. "I decline to answer and I also
decline your right to ask me."
"Great Heavens, Alix, have
you gone mad? So woman could
have done what you did last even
ing without making herself the
target of gossiping tongues all
over the city and I will not have
the name of the woman I love
tossed about In the manner in
.which yours will be today."
"I have no reason for thinking
that anyone will toss your wife's
name about in the manner which
you intimate mine is being passed
from lip to lip." I figured that
arrow would reach the target.
"Who is talking about my
wife?"
"I thought you were; you men
tioned the woman you loved, did I
you not?"
"This is no time to be sarcas
tic, Alix," he said, grasping my
arm roughly. "You know I love
you."
Hot Weather
To Cut Down
Hop Estimates
Continuation of hot weather in
this part of the country will force
a reduction in the original hop
crop estimate of 00,000 bales for
this year, according to advices
now being sent by commisd:on
houses to British buyers.
Upland yards are already show
ing some drought, and the crop
in the hills will undoubtedly wit
ness a deal of shedding before
picking, and will largely be gained
from the tops. Around Harrisl:urK.
in the bottom lands, where the
"earlles" will be mostly bjufffsted,
the crop is looking exceptionally
good, experts whoh ave been in the
field say.
The price to pickers has been
definitely set locally and in other
centers as 50j;ents a box, and com
mon labor in the yard to $.i a day.
Word from Independence states
that these are the pricen agreed
upon by growers there at a recent
meeting.
Hop men affirm that this year's
yield will be the cleanest ever pro
duced in Oregon and should be
exceptionally good in quality if
clean picking is adhered to.

1 he list of reductions embraces
all styles of household furniture
