Judge Dike made a much needed distinction
in las charge to the grand jury the other day
in the matter ol moving picture allows. "They
are,' he said, "a product of American genius
and afford amusement to thousands of our
citizens. They have come to stay. 1 am not
fighting the existence of these shows • •
but the abuse of them." '
lie might have added that the amusement
they turnish is in the main wholesome, and not
infrequently instructive, that they bring within
reach of limited purses exhibitions that before
their advent were only available for the rela-
tively well-to-do, and that, except in the few
cases where they are in the hands of unworthy
operators, the whole effect of the so-called uiov-
ing picture ' craze has been good.

revision ot the prae- (,au..
legislature
Supreme Court Justice Day. the bosom friend of the
late President MeKinley. had this to sav at an af.cr
dinner speech in Xew York:
"I am not one of those who lake a pessimistic view
of the future of the country. 1 believe we are grow
ing better and not worse. I believe that practices tol-
erated m the lives of public men a generation ago,
would, if followed by (he men of today, lead to their
complete downfall. I Micve that with rare exceptions,
the conduct of the national government is in the hands
f men honestly striving to'do their dutv and do it
well."
from tune to time somebody gets up jn church, iu
school, in congress, in the woods, and loudlv demands
that onr state and national executives need more pow-
er. But there is an overwhelming and wholesome senti-
ment, based upon the knowledge that for more than
a hundred years the United States has existed as the
freest of nations, in favor of maintaining our present
triangular arrangement—executive, legislative and ju-
dicial—guarding each with jealous and zealous care and
making sure that neither shall lap over into the other.
It is exceedingly likely that this wise and well te«ted
arrangement will continue for some years to come.

He said that the appellate court is o
with business, but this is because the
affords an easy appeal to that court.
Said he:—
I lie trouble is iu the appellate court its
\\ lien it can decide that ecrtain matter in ;
is scandalous and must be stricken from the records
and then, can take the same case up and declare
that the matter is not scandalous a all and not libel-
ous, what are the common people to think, and what
respect can they have for a court that thus reverses
its own opinion and blow*, hot and cold with the
same breath'.' Courts fall into contempt when thev
indulge iu technicalities and lose si-lit of justice
in hair-splitting and deference to precedent. No-
thing shocked the moral sense of the nation so
much as the decision of the United States supreme
court in the Dred Scott case, where they went out
side the issue to declare that a negro has no rights
that a white man is bound to respect. It was a
plain intimation to the nation that the slave power
intended to extend the peculiar system over all the
states, and it led to that wonderful uprising that
finally terminated in the Civil war the extinelioi,
of slavery. In all that conflict the courts generally
held that the slave owner had a right to his pro-
perty and the judges were never weary of asserting
that government was for protection of property.
Only one judge in New Hampshire ventured to dis-
sent to this and when a slave holder appeared be-
fore his court, claiming a slave, lie required the re-
puted owner to produce his title deed from the Al-
mighty. saying thai this was the only authority
that could give one man the right to possess an
other. We must not forget that reforms are always
made in spite of the courts, and not by them."

GETTING UP HIGHER.
From Kingfisher Star.
If appropriations already made and
others in contemplation aggregating over
S7,non,000 for the ensuing two years, isn't
getting up on a financial "high horse,!'
we don't know what is.
If their present plans are carried out,
tiie Oklahoma democrats will run a cl°se
race with congress in disposing of the
peop'o's money in their reckless legis-
lative appropriations, and will soon
reach the billion dollar mark.
Compiling ami passing appropriation
bills has been the principal part of their
'abom so far. and we look irt vain over
tho list of passed measures for a single
one of the much needed laws recom-
mended by Gov. Cruce or announced on
their legislative program at the begin-
? of the session.
i a speech Monday, Senator Franklin,
who was .'peaking on his resolution for
djournment on March 4, said:
"lr Is absolutely necessary for this
legislature to get down to work.
We have done practically nothing* to
pay for our coming here. Even if
there is a special session, we will
not take up the work where we left
off. and there are just a few things
that the governor would authorize us
to do at that season."
The truth is that Oklahoma is again
illustrating the characteristic demo-
cratic lack of initiative and constructive
ability.
They went off in one grand, pyrotech-
nical explosion of lcgislati e originality

hausted their entire supply. Since that
