Criticism of Public Men in the Nation’s Debate

The piece discusses how presidents Lincoln and Roosevelt faced harsh criticism from allies and opponents alike. It argues that Roosevelt faced strong attack from enemies and moneyed interests, yet insists his insistence on law for all does not show madness. It notes public fault finding often mixes ignorance and shortsightedness and that critics apply pressure on political leadership.

Alaska Commissioner's Appointments Bill Sparks Debate

Honest and Broad Minded Man Should Not Seek Preferment

A governor should not hold apportionment power as it risks packing offices for political gain. District judges, who appoint commissioners, remain in close touch with the work and can annul appointments when needed. The United States commissioner role is important and should stay closely connected to district court judges for proper oversight.

Inheritance by youngest son rules Black Forest farms

The Black Forest peasant system passes estates directly to the youngest son, not the eldest, with the current head abdicating to retire beside the Hof. The practice, named Vortel, aims to keep farms intact and avoided by elder brothers unless the younger sells. The custom mirrors older agrarian order and contrasts with France.

Vast coal land withdrawals hinder development efforts
