'That statement shows,'' Dr. Bent said, that the company has had no op portunity to express its view before the decision was made, by the chief law of ficer of the army, holding that the con tract was 'null and void.' " WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.

Mr. Watts will receive the great credit because he has carried on t he seemlier campnign. '"Top'lar" as he always has desired to be, he has been rather above the political trick of hammering the courts and browbeating them into re turning verdicts to his liking. The colonel respects the forms of tho law. lie would not lio in wait for a jury go ing out to make up its verdict, tell it to do the " pop 'hi r" thing, nor would he campaign for a verdict if he had a news paper; not a Democratic court, anyway. Kut Mr. Daniels will be entitled to the greater credit which Mr. Watts will receive. The court hardly couM have gone back on itself without stultification had Mr. Watts' order and his belief that I.e was doing tho "pop'lar" thing been unsupported. Mr. Daniels has conduct ed a most skillful campaign. By covert attack, by daily insinuations that big judges tire not big enough to pay a little tax, by demagogic devices such as print ing income tax Idanks on "royal fta slionery" to meet the wishes of a "priv ileged class," the party organ has ma neuvered the court into the inevitable position. The court could have been big in standing with its big predecessor, by recognizing both state and federal con stitutions as speaking unmistakably a gainut the "pop'lar" order of Mr. Watts. The judges, who are daily held up as royalists, as "privileged classes", I as tax-dodgers, as ton good for the dear l pcepul, must b supermen if they are not I humiliated and even enraged. Hut the debate is on no man's Inml, any way the ruling goes can be justified in law and in morals. The court will do the big : thing, ignore the little things, forget the insinuations and as Mr. Dooley suggests, i make the opinions of the courts follow I the "ilictinn returns." I This is guessing, but the prophecy fol lows a superheated trail. Hie opinion of former Judge (.leorgo II. Brown, of the Pupreme court is tutting no figure. Justice Brown iiritated even more than Kditor Daniels. There was but one way to receive his honor's communication, and that was with a horse lauh. In all the naive and knave stunts of the sen sual and frivolous part of mankind, nothing quite like unto the Brown somer sault has been recorded. The whole of the income tax ontrovrrsy may be sum medi up in a line: A keen mass psy chologist has nuid five big men a stibtie compliment by holding them daily up to vulgar contempt. But the psychologist docs not believe thev will do the perfect ly natural, the human thing, and slap his! jaws. TI.ey will be generous. That is the gossip. Thev Followed The Law. The letter of Judge Brown created n bit of sensation. It was a new i!e for him. He is a rich man, but nobody ever on the proposed nrliilnitioii clear ny to morrow, the mill managements were said to hayc doeided not to force the issue by an attempt at reopening today. Tawtueket, with several plants operat ing in part, was as quiet as the inopera tive Tawtueket valley mill towns to the south. Tickets appeared in the snow there also, but beyond the lines of the military forces, and without developing anv instances or soiicnauon in nomine I operatives that called for attention by the guards. The immediate propositi tor settlement of the Btatewide controversy is that mill owners and strikers put the issue of a 20 per cent wage reduction solely in the hands of Judge J. Jerome Halm, chair man of the special mediation board, al lowing him to set a temporary scale of wages under the former schedule of 4i hours, resume work and accept without retroactive effect whatever, any wage u ward he nuiy hand down.
