Morrison hates every paper in Minnesota out
eide the great and good ones he mentioned in
St. Paul, but his ruling was simply to show his
"a-thor-ity." 1t is wonderful how some men
will swell up nigh to bursting with Importance
when clothed with a little authority, and
"Jedge" Morrison appears to be no exception.
He will yet awaken to find that he has made q
big mistake and that the act of his miscon-

to be akin to fooling with the business end of

district court of st. Paul. wherein is involved
the question of whether the West St. Paul
Times is legal publication or not. The case
will be watched with interest, by editors and
lawyers alike. and if the case is decided
unfavorabiy to that paper, then there is not

all the more ridiculous from the fact that the

A Heavy Burden on Real Estate.

column and a half to the recent decision of
Judge Morrison, OF the probate court Brother
Parad1s is very ready writer and he ''rOasts''
the decision OF the probate court in fine shape.
The main point made by him, and it seems to
US to be well taken, is that the decision if con-
tie the title to a very large part of the proper
ty in st; Paul and herhaps throughout the
state. This Is necessary conclusion since the
mortgage and probate notices, if published in
Illegal papers, must not have been legally pub

less litigation to quiet titles, and will be q

The recent decision by Judge Wilkin regard

Bro. Paradis takes very conservative view of
the matter and makes prediction that, should
they be sustained will work great injury to

as not coming under the meaning of the law

right in the matter, only it seems that notices
