CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Grand Old Man of the Bench Fate was unkind to Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, of the federal supreme court, when he celebrated his eightyninth birthday as the grand old man of American jurisprudence, for destiny chose that day for striking down one of his colleagues and also his former and recent chief on the bench. Mr.

Justice Holmes merited a birthday free of such a double pall. Years, erudition, the great legal constructions his keen and incisive mind has lathered, his record as a citizen, his adventurous Civil even the fact that he was the great son of a great father, one of the novelties of hereditymade the attainment of 89 years deserving of a national acclaim. To many observers, especially those who know the law and its associated American traditions, Mr. Justice Holmes looms to the stature of the greatest legal mind of all the high tribunals of America, the most eminent jurist of not only the United States supreme court but conceivably ranking as such in a muster of the world's judicial leadership. There is a tendency in discussing him to link his appraisal comparably with the fame of John Marshall, as though he were a force in constitutional jurisprudence of the same precedent-pioneering temperament and intellect.

Professional analysts are led by a study of his supreme bench pronouncements to regard him as possessed of inspired concepts as to what is most salutary for the future course of the government at this time of twilight in the zone of states rights and federal encroachment. They feel that the tendency is to carry the Marshall exposition of the constitution too far. but that Justice Holmes not only is not of those so tending but is, in fact, a stabilizing force whose weight of authority would tend rather to halt the questionable drift to excessive federal concentration and restore the true balance between this trend and the old formula of states rights. March Harper's contains a brilliant appraisal of Mr. Justice Holmes, written by Harold J.

Laski, professor of political science at the University of London. Mr. Laski finds the greatness of Justice Holmes in the elasticity of his approach to the greater constitutional questions which still continue to arise. He expounds upon a background of evolution, and his equations always carfy the terms of changing conditions into the constitutional problems, Mr. Laski thinks.

It is in this quality that he is of the Marshall type of constitutional jurist. ceaselessly remembers. says Mr. Laski. the constitution is a road and not a The London analyst continues: has he been willing to fasten the grip of nineteenth-century individualism upon the activities of the federal government.

He has seen the new administrative possibilities make new law. He has recognized that the problems of 120,000.000 people in the modern and positive state are not the problems of the sparse and scattered communities in the America of Hamilton and Jefferson. Where congress has thought what, on the evidence, a reasonable man might think, he has refused to be outraged by the novelty or dismayed by the increase in power. He has asked only for proof that the authority asked is one not denied by the constitution. He has realized that the conception of statehood is not a dogma fixed eternally in 1787, but an elastic formula shaped by the experiences of mankind.

His refusal to make his own social philosophy the measure of congressional action has not been the least force in this last generation in making the constitution of the United States compatible with the enlargement of American Mr. Laski also says of Justice Holmes that John Marshall revealed to the American people what thennew constitution might imply, none has so clearly molded its texture as Mr. Justice Holmes. He stands out in history not merely as one of the two or three most significant figures in the record, but, also, as one of the supreme expositors of principles in the annals of common law. When, 25 years ago, John Morley visited America, he came back to affirm that in Mr.

Justice Holmes, America possessed the greatest judge of the Englishspeaking world. Time reinforces that emphasis; for it has made him a member of that supreme fellowship which reaches back to the endless past in which men sought a place for plan and order in human affairs. Gaius is there, and Ulpian. Mansfield and Marshall and Savigny and Maitland. I do not think they will resent the company of Mr.

Justice Predicts Republican England The Countess of Warwick, who is a restless English I noblewoman, descended on one side from Oliver Crom- well and on the other from Nell Gwynne, therefore a mixture of puritan Roundhead and gay Cavalier instincts if heredity counts, is turning prophet on the future. of I the British kingdom and predicts it will soon become seme sort of a republic. She writes to that effect in the March Cosmopolitan and to reinforce the faith of the reader that she knows whereof she is guessing, attention is called to her former close acquaintance with Queen Victoria and King Edward VII, which since has been replaced by adhesion to the Labor Party and the political comradeship of Premier Ramsay MacDonald. The British kingdom has been tending in the direction which the Countess of Warwick interprets as a step into republicanism ever since Victoria ascended the English throne and to some extent before that. One might say from the days of Cromwell, were it not for the interlude of the return of King Charles to the throne after the death of the great dictator.

The American colonies derived their trend toward independence from that strain in the gngiteh character. At first it was the barons who curtailed the overweaning authority assumed by the kings, then, some centuries later the people asserted themselves in reforms achieved in the arena of parliament which brought the prestige of the aristocratic classes down and the privileges of the people up. This Increasing democracy has been particularly mani- Jtoct in recent times. It has resulted in home rule for the -i dominions and influenced the assent to establishing the Irish PYee State. But for their surrender and the creation of new' lords to dilute the die-hards at the time of the Free State foundation, the house of lords might have found itself abolished.

But Englanders cling tenaciously to their medieval heritage none the less for their democracy, and It is not likely, unless the Prince of Wales accelerates the tendency by some deliberate act In that direction, that the kingdom will give up its monarchial rule any more so than it has given up its Yeomen, its Beef Eaters or other trappings of immemorial days. The depressing conditions which after' effects have left in the wake of the war, in spite of the lengthening years since that world tragedy, inevitably must cause England to turn to some change as a way out of the economic difficulties besetting thq country so distressingly now, but a royalty which does not produce these difficulties, because it is sovereignty embodied in a figurehead, must not necessarily be discarded as a remedy for commercial and industrial degeneration. In fact, it would seem that in a possible attrition of parties, the king might prove the neutralizing piece of political mechanism to keep the nation in balance. II is Interesting in this connection to ponder the role of the reigning family of England. King George is liked by his subjects and the Prince of Wales, heir to the throne, is one of the most popular men in the world.

Says the countess: "It is not a question of whether we want hereditary kingship to cease or continue. It is ceasing whether we like it or not. "Today, however, if the present king is the last of his line, it will be because he and his few immediate ancestors have been such admirable monarchs that they have made their kingship entirely superfluous. They have ruled so democratically that the people have learned the art of government themselves; the guiding hand of a monarch no longer seems If the Prince ox Wales never becomes king, it will not be because of unpopularity, the countess says, adding that he is probably the most popular figure in public life at the present moment. "This heir to the tin-one, who hitherto, with the vigor of youth, may have followed sports and pleasures with untiring zest, is every day showing more clearly that he is a sclfconscious and deliberate the article continues, "He would make an admirable first president of a new Opulence and Divorce Exploration expeditions, isolated camps and settlements, and prisons bear out the well-known fact that a number of men, cooped together for months at a time, develop unreasoning hatreds among themselves.

The monotony of the same few faces, voices and habits day in and day out, year after year, is aggravated by cramped quarters. A Chicago clubwoman contends that the small apartment and furnished rooms for light housekeeping have the same psychological effect on young couples with the result that the divorce rate is high among them. She is convinced that the caging of couples in one, two or three rooms is one of the major causes of divorce. While the furnished room or small apartment may not be the most fertile field for cultivating matrimonial bliss, it certainly will not be argued that the divorce rate among those thus domiciled is as high as that among dwellers in palatial mansions and luxurious apartments with four baths and quarters. If it is higher than that among couples housed in dwellings and apartments of average size, then probably the cause is a general economic state which makes the poorer quarters necessary.

Moreover, inexpensive habitations contribute to a happy married life on limited means by reducing financial worries. And how could a love nest be cozy and spacious at tire same time? You can tell a man who yet bought a car of his own. the one who drops cigarct butts on the taxi floor. There are many persons who have schemes for helping themselves in ways that require no work. Editorial Comment Definition of a Farm Paul Dispatch) Everyone may think he knows what he is talking about when he speaks of a but he is wrong.

The census bureau says so. Defining a farm is not at all the simple thing it appears to be. If the matter is considered for a moment, it will be seen that the census bureau is quite right. A man owns 300 acres of land, cultivates 150 'acres himself and rents out 75 acres each to two tenants. Is this one farm, or three? For the purposes of the census to be taken next April it will go for three farms.

Again, a retired capitalist has a twenty-acre estate in the country. Is that a farm? The census bureau says not, unless the capitalist actually cultivates the soil. But here another difficulty arises. How much must he grow to qualify as a farmer? The census bureau throws up its hands and says that will be up to the judgment of each individual census enumerator. Again, a man raises vegetables on two acres of land on the edge of a town, devoting his whole time to the work but producing only about S2QO a year in truck.

His neighbor has an equal plot of ground works in the city but in his spare time grows produce worth S3OO a year. Are both of these men farmers or only one of them and if so which one? The rule adopted by the census bureau now for the first time is that no tract of land of less than three a ergs will be considered a farm unless it produces a crop worth at least $250 a year. Nothing else matters. On the ether hand larger tracts must be actually under cultivation. It seems a little arbitrary but since some rule is necessary this one is about as good as any.

Better, Not More Cows (Minneapolis Journal) Milk and butter production in the northwest have in- creased because of two things. One is an increase in the number of dairy cows. The other is the culling out of 1 cows, and their replacement by cows of larger milk production. The slump in butter prices is not wholly due to larger butter production; it is partly due to a greater use of butter substitutes. Yet the increase in butter production has played its part in reducing the individual income from this source.

The department of agriculture still urges farmers to eliminate their poor cows, and that advice is always good. Through the cow-testing associations it is possible to learn accurately when a dairy cow has become a liability. By eliminating every such animal, the farmer increases his net income. He can produce an equal amount of butterfat from fewer cows, with less feed consumption. If he keeps the same number of cows, his production will Increase.

Losses might be turned into profits. It is evident that the dairy farmer, collectively, has made a mistake by increasing his herds in number, as well as improving their quality. Government figures shows an increase of 1.9 per cent in Minnesota last year in the number of dairy cows, but milk production increased 4.5 per cent. Wisconsin increased its dairy cows three per cent, and the average for eight northwestern states was 2.4 per cent, with a national increase of 2.6 per cent. Experts say that an annual increase of one per cent is all that is necessary to keep up with increasing demand.

If the average yield per cow is to be increased by culling and better breeding, then no increase in the number of cows is needed at all. Obviously, the farmer who quits wasting feed on poor producers is wise, and the higher average production is a good sign. But greater total production, under the present conditions, can be a calamity. Greater efficiency in dairying means a better living for the producer, but dairying, like any other industry, can be overdone. It is always wise to ull out the But when production passes demand, it may not be co wise to fill with efficient cows, all the gaps made in the herd through these eliminations THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1930 Never Know What Thrills Are Till You Take Up Gliding!

ULCERS OF THE STOMACH AND DUODENUM Ulcers of the stomach and duodenum do not heal as rapidly as ulcers in other parts of the body because of being subject to the action of the digestive juices. An ulcer of this sort may be caused by anything which will weaken the protective mucous surface-lining, and allow the powerful juices to actually into the muscular tissue. Seventy-five per cent of stomach ulcers are located in the small area toward the pyloric end of the stomach and the upper and back walls.

In ulcer of the duodenum, the ulcer is usually located in the first inch and a half in at least ninety-five per cent of the cases. The size of an ulcer may vary from a pinhead to quite a large surface. It may occur in several places, although usually only one place is ulcerated at a time. At first, the ulcer involves only thei under mucous membrane or the mucous tissue, but as it deepens it affects the muscular wall and may even penetrate through this. Where the ulcers have been in develbpment for some time, adhesions or scar tissue result from the continued inflammation, and sometimes the stomach will become adherent to adjacent surfaces, such as the pancreas, the small intestine.

liver, spleen or gall bladder. When the scar tissue is extensive, the condition becomes quite serious. Sometimes a mass of inflamed tissue may block the pyloric valve so that complete emptying of the stomach contents is impossible. There is usually an excessive gastric secretion. The stomach may contain as much as from one to five hundred CC of highly acid gastric juice which causes an unusual burning and makes the patient wish to vomit, or to be nauseated.

On vomiting he feels relieved. He may raise as much as a quart of this material. After a few of these daily attacks the patient gets into a thoughtful habit of providing his bedside with some soda and water just to have it handy in case the too familiar symptoms arouse him again. 0 be worse before it's over." and never can be one. so It was no go, and Tish herself told me to go right on being myself.

Other patients get into the trick of eating something when the pain is most acute, which has a tendency to dilute the acid and lessen the degree of irritation. The distress may be slight or only a feeling of construction, or the stomacn may feel heavy, and the most severe pain is possible. The pain is often described as boring, gnawing, cutting, tearing or cramping. More pain seems to be caused by the acid contents of the stomach rather than from the mechanical grating from the food particles. Foods which are rough or which tend to stimulate the formation of hydrochloric acid will retard recovery, and for this reason a strict diet becomes imperative.

The common tendency among general practitioners is to prescribe a diet up of gruels and puddings. This sometimes relieves temporarily but the after effects soon felt from this kind of a diet encouraging the formation of more of the over acid gastric juice and the patient is in dispair of an operation as he too often is led to believe that if the soft diet does not work well there is no other hope but the knife.

S.

F. asks: it advisable for one afflicted with floating kidney to wear a belt? If so, what shape should it be, and should it be worn night and Answer: There is very little advantage in wearing a belt, us it must be worn so tight as to be very uncomfortable, if the kidney is going to be raised at all. Sometimes by wearing a comfoitably fitting support the patient will feel more like walking and exercising due to the fact that all of the organs in the kidney section will be firmly supported, but it is very difficult to use a support with enough pressure to raise the organs. The cure for prolapsed kidney depends entirely upon exercising the abdominal and back muscles so as to produce your own natural muscular corset which will encourage the kidney to return to a better position.

It is not necessary to go from one place to another in order to regain health. Of course, it is true that getting away from unhappy environments is often of some help.
