SHOULD THEY RESIGN?
What Various Officials Think OF
the Extended Terms.


the Extended Terms.
But for the act of the legislature eX-
tending their terms, there would be an
election in ten weeks, for the purpose
of choosing successors to Mayor Ames,
Comptroller HOlbroOk, Treasurer MOul-
ton and Aldermen Titus Mareck. ID. NJ.
ClOugh, II. {. Morse, L. E. Downs and
George w. Cooley. There has been COLI
siderable talk Of the duty OF propriety,
or the reverse, of those officials tender
ing their designations. Mayor Ames has
already expressed himself. What some
OF the others say is appended:
+. M. MOulton, Republican, City
Treasurer certainly shall not resign,
for see no necessity for doing so. The
whole thing is contained in a nutshell.
The terms of the mayor, city cOmptrOl-
Ter and city treasurer were continued
by the legislature to avoid having two
and sometimes more elections every
year. 1t was done to save trouble and
expense, and was not a put-up job, as
many seem to think. If it had been, it
seems to me that we would have been
consulted i'll regard to the matter.
+. q. HOibroOk, Democrat, City
Comptroller do not think the city
officials whose terms expire this spring
should resign. There will be politics
enough next fall to suit the average
voter without unsettling things at pres
ent, to say nothing of the expense to
the city of a special election. There
would be only mayor and three alder
men to elect, as the charter provides
that in the case of vacancy in all other
offices the city council shall fill.
City Attorney Smith, Democrat-T
people who secured the legislation re-
garding our city last winter saw fit to
extend the term of Office of the city
officers until the next general state
election. That was satisfactory not
only to the people, but to the delegation
from this city, and believe that the
legislation was constitutional and can
see no reason why any officer whose
term was thus extended shOnld resign
or feel any delicacy in continuing the
full time. In any event the officers are
to be elected throughout in November Of
this year. 1t there should be a special
election the term would be very short,
and the new officers would hardly have
time to learn their duties before their
terms would expire, and such an cleo
ton would be attended by large ex-
penSe.

THE JUDICIAL WHIRLIGIG

Judge Rea.

Judge Searle, of st. Cloud, who has
been holding court in the front court
room at the court house during the past
week for Judge Rea, who has gone East

left for his own district yesterday, as
the regular term of court for Mile Lacs

opens to-day. He will be succeeded
here by Judge Severance, of Mankato,
who will hold court during the present
week, and will then give way to Judge
Start, of Rochester. who will occupy
the bench for the following week.
Judge Searle during his short stay in
the city has won many friends among
the members of the bar, none, of whom
have practiced before him but speak in
the highest terms of him as Judge and
lawyer. He seems 10 be one of a very
few men of genuine ability whom our

An Innovation in Checking Bag
gage

An Innovation in Checking Bag
gage.
Commencing Jan. 20 the Wisconsin
Central put into effect their new system
of checking baggage and transferring
passengers from hotels and residences
in Minneapolis and st. Paul through to
destination.
By this system baggage will be
checked from the passengers hotel or
residence to any point in the United
States or Canada, and the annoyance
and delay of looking after baggage at
the depOts will be entirely done away
with.
For baggage from Minneapolis orders
should be left at the Wisconsin Central
Office, No. 10, NicOllet house block. For
baggage from ST. Paul orders should be
left at the Wisconsin Central city ticket
Office, 173 East Third street.

an election under the new law would
cost about $4,000. AS concerns Mr..
MOulton and Mr.. Holbrook, if either of
them doubt the constitutionality of the
law under which they now hold office
they should resign at the expiration of
their terms, because their places can be
filled by the city council, and would not
require special election, and conse-
Quently save the election cost"

The Storm Ahatsd.

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 27-The
storm has abated and the sun is now
shining brightly. A survey of the
situation shows that no such destruc-
ton to property on this beach has been
known since the incorporation of the
city. Hundreds of property owners
from Philadelphia and other localities
have come down fearing their property
would be swept away last night. The
tide receded to-day and the sea under
the influence of northwest wind was
beaten down but the result
especially in the lower portions
of the city is one of almost complete
destruction. The work of the waves
was quick and complete and the indi
vidual losses are numerous. In the eX-
curSion house district the destruction
of property is enormous although un'
expected. as the survey shows that fol
twenty years the beach in that section
has changed but little and the danger
from storms was not anticipated. The
beach to-day was lined with thousands
of residents and visitors including pho
| tographers and artists sketching the
ruins. Many of the sufferers by the
storm are people of moderate means
and their losses will be severely felt il
! the coming winter.
