Around the state department the whisper is ment in the law by the legislature, any sort of an error made by the trial judge favorably to the accused could not be reviewed on appeal.

In other words, the accused got all the breaks. Mr. Foelske didn't say anything about the act of the legislature which modified this rule but only to a limited extent, nor did he explain that the supreme court of Wisconsin indicated very plainly how it wished it could correct the error but to do so would assume a Prussianized attitude upon the part of the court alien to our system in Wisconsin. In other words the legislature has authority over appeals and it provided no right of appeal in an instance like that involving Thomas Duncan. The supreme court merely declined to grab the power which the legislature had failed to bestow upon it.

It left power over appeals where it belongs, with the legislature to regulate. An Iraq argument can be made against a court almost any day.

But of course they are dangerous if someone tries to run them that doesn't know anything about engineering.

So with our governmental machinery. The pistons, rods, gears, and all other moving parts must operate freely. Bearings of the most modern type must be provided where the burden of weight or friction would otherwise impair the finest metal. But these tremendous units of machinery, some of them blocks long, operate peacefully, quietly and effectively when they are understand and made to function under an intelligent supervision. One of the most important functions of our supreme court when it is called to rule upon public rights and interests is in respect to keeping clear the functions of what may be called without sacrilege America's holy trinity, the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government.

And the most delicate decision is made when the court, anxious as it is to right an error or wrong, nevertheless declines power that does not belong to it. In a sense there was no great need for a detailed explanation to the Wisconsin voter. He knew when he read the Foelske article that there was an Ethiopian in the brush pile somewhere. By habit he refuses to be whipped into a fury at mere charges and until he hears all sides and forms a conclusion soberly. Eleventh hour attacks of a startling or spectacular nature are not popular with him.

We inferred from the Foelske article that more may be heard from him unless the justices of the supreme court toe the mark more carefully. He also showed the justices how they may escape his scathing words. All they need do is dissent from the mistaken majority and thus escape criticism. It might be convenient for this Milwaukee lawyer to keep the court informed of his opinion in advance of a decision to avoid further errors. His position as almost a super-deity overlooking the toilers on Olympus away up there in the clouds where the winds howl and the atmosphere is thin and cold is a stern and forbidding one, not unlike that of an angry Buddha.

But. perhaps more accurately understood, Mr. Foelske is now happy, having scolded the court soundly to the assuagement of the bitter taste of defeat.

It is ironic, therefore, that he should receive tips on the means to accomplish this end from an agency which he recently helped to destroy.

For years it has been known that when too much sugar was in the blood, fat would be formed from this sugar and diabetes might readily follow. It would seem that there is the other side tf the picture, that is cases where the blood does not seem to hold enough sugar to give the necessary energy and these individuals are thin and always tired or tire very easily.

Sincerely, Watcher Green Bav, Wis. Pointed Paragraphs FROM IRAQ TO WISCONSIN. After the king of Iraq drove his car into a ditch at midnight and was killed a mob gathered and slew the British consul. The mob had been informed by a jumble-headed spokesman that the British consul was somehow responsible for the accident because the king had gone to college in England. The wide gulf between peoples becomes evident when this incident is compared to the recent election of a justice of the supreme court in Wisconsin.

On the two days preceding the election the Milwaukee papers carried half page advertisements quoting at length "Attorney Henry E. Foelske of Milwaukee." What Mr. Foelske had to say about the supreme court was not complimentary but the article was aimed at Mr. Justice Rosenberry since he was a candidate for reelection. In due time, Mr.

Foelske implied, he will call the other justices up for a lecture to be delivered when they stand for reelection. But the things Mr. Foelske said about Mr. Justice Rosenberry and the shameful depths to which justice had descended in Wisconsin did not have the same effect that an equally wild and absurd declaration had in Iraq. We had no mob action.

Justice Rosenberry paid no attention to the articles and so far as we noticed neither did any of his friends or supporters. The people in the Milwaukee area read the articles and then went to the polls and voted for the justice in overwhelming masses. Here is a definite example of the advantages of education, generations of calm and tolerant thought and an acquaintance with our judicial system which instinctively made each reader of the article, however little he may have understood the precise legal propositions involved, say: "This can't be right." But over in Iraq untutored people, quick to embrace tales of crude slander or misstatement, become enraged without making even the superficial examination that might be suggested by questioning him who egged them on to their own undoing. Mr. Foelske severely criticized our supreme court because of its construction of a will written by a man who first left to his wife his property "for her use and enjoyment during her life." After her death the use of the balance was to go to six nephews and nieces.

And after they died whatever was left went to a Milwaukee hospital. Had Mr. Foelske declared at the outset that he was one of the nephews and the losing lawyer in the case and that the supreme court decision deprived him of a part of what he expected as an inheritance, he might have spiked his article but would have embraced candor with more elegance. The supreme court held under the peculiar facts of that case, the language of the will, the way the parties had lived, that it was the intention of the testator to permit his life's companion to use even more than the income if it were necessary. The couple had been using more than the income because such was required to sustain them.

But Mr. Foelske, champion of the people and upholder of justice, never mentioned his own personal interest and disappointment, but was fearful that the funds that might eventually go to the hospital would shrink and then who will "provide for the care of the poor and sick" and "God knows we thrifty citizens have to pay enough already." Mr. Foelske also spent part of his space to upbraid the court because it had not corrected Judge Risjord's lamentable error in sentencing Mr. Thomas Duncan for fourth degree manslaughter when he was found guilty of first degree. The proposition is rather moot today because Governor LaFollette's pardon would probably have more quickly followed upon the longer than the shorter sentence.

But Mr. Foelske was strangely silent in respect to some plain matters he should have stated if he wished to be fair either with the court or the public. He did not say anything about the fact that the right of the prosecution to appeal in a criminal case never existed in the state of Wisconsin until very recently and then only in a most limited manner. He might have said that this was one of the great gifts of the people to those accused of crime. If a jury finds an accused not guilty even though he shouts out loud all through the trial that he committed the offense, he goes scot free.

PHILLIPS not hold sufficient sugar, with the result that they were weak and under-nourished. In order to help the blood 1o hold and use more sugar, they were treated with a small dose of insulin (five units before breakfast and ten before lunch and dinner.) A number of these patients showed great improvement, an increase in the sense of well-being, gain in weight and increased appetite. The insulin raised the blood's ability to hold and use sugar. While Dr. Dorst is unable to explain just why insulin raises the curve' in the blood, he suggests that it may be that the insulin has the power of breaking down and using some of the sugar stored in the liver.

That this may explain the action of insulin is brought out by Dr. W. Bruhl, Berlin, whose experiments tend to prove that the functional (working ability) of the liver can now be made known by giving insulin and nothing the blood sugar curve.

Imports and Exports At present, the governor as a metal manufacturer is probably already aware, Wisconsin must import large quantities of petroleum products, pig iron, cast iron pipe, structural iron, copper, lead and zinc ingots, aluminum slabs, cement, brick, plaster, sewer pipe, fertilizer, soaps, flat glass, bottles, and tin cans. Wisconsin is a large tobacco producer, yet the state imports most of its finished tobacco. There are not enough hogs raised on Wisconsin farms to meet the state's packing demands; Wisconsin produces a surplus of rough stone and yet has to import large amounts of the finished material. There may be room for expansion of these industries within the state, the commerce experts suggested. Moreover, many Wisconsin quarries now ship to Minnesota finishing plants.

Although Wisconsin has ample reserves of limestone of high quality, she imports not only "white lime," but plaster. It was also brought out that transportation costs may favor establishment of new industries, and may also force established firms to open branch plants nearer their markets and raw materials.

America has something of a personal interest in that Albanian port called Durazzo. We helped take it away from Austro-Hungary so the miserable Teutons might not enslave the people and thus we preserved them for Roman culture and liberty. Indeed, one of the principal engagements, if not the most important, of our navy during the World war was its participation with French. British and Italian naval vessels in the bombardment and capture of this city with a name that sounds hke a raspberry. Then, as now.

the city was important to central Europe as a point from which submarines could be released into the Mediterranean. Of course it was fortified and mined. Our part of the attack consisted in its coun-ter-mininn to prevent submarine attack upon the flotilla designed to reduce it. Our vesr-ls sunk Austrian uhmarinrs but only after they had crippled one of the British cruisers. The capture of the city was hailed as a pi eat victory because it permitted the landing of an arrnv to the rear of the Austnans and Bulua nans and quickened the final surrender of their forces.

It all looks rather ironic now to have made the Albanians free from the Austrian yoke just in time for the fitting on of the Italian collar. But such are the unaccountable results of American adventures in European wars. Durazzo was a very evil place in American eyes during those feverish days. We were inspired by a misplaced idealism to undertake the suicide job of making it safe for freedom or something or other. Our r.ext assignment may be to take it away from the Italians.
