For nearly ten years Hon.
Roderick Rose has visited Coop
erstown in his capacity as judge
of this district. Leaving out his
official administration of the
affairs of this Office, no one man
has more friends than Mr.. Rose.
He is a gentleman whom to know
is to admire; he is a friend to
everyone and everybody is his
friend. His retirement from the
bench will be felt by a large
circle of friends. Judge Rose
has tried to give everybody a
fair show in his court-and out.
side of the ''blind pig" cases
no one has any fault to find, and
we feel sure he has been in some
cases unduly censured in these
matters. The Courier has moth
ing but best wishes to offer to
one of the warmest hearted
judges that ever sat on the
bench.

Sea Serpent.

The Inkster Tribune tells this story
of petrification: a remarkable pre-
historic find was dug up on j. c.
Mahon's model farm last week. A
gang of worltmen engaged in digging
an irrigation ditch from Forest River
to the center of the farm found the fos-
siliZed remains of what looked to be q
sea serpent or something of that
nature. The serpent is about thirty
feet in length. The specimen was
carefully dug up and arrangements
were at once made TO ship it to the
Smithsonian institute. but while load
ing it on q fiat car it was let fall
smashing it into innumerable pieces.
Mr.. Mahon has on exhibition Il Sec

It would be a very commendable
act on the part of the jamestown
Alert and Grand Forks Plain
dealer to let up on their whining
and wailing about the result of
the late election. We feel sure
that it would give their patrons
a treat by so doing. Every issue
of these pop sheets contains
some pessimistic view of the
situation and forbodes due GALA
nifty to the country. Such silli-
ness on the part of these, sup
posed to be, leading papers OF
this state is enough to give every
one of their readers the face
ache. OF course it is a little
hard to see visions of estate

the big republican majority but
the people would have it so, boys.

Voting Machines.

With all its merits, the Australian
ballot is proving very cumbersome, as
we'll as expensive. The apparatus of
the Australian system is estimated to
have cost the people between s12,O00,-
00o and sl5, 900, 900 at the recent cleo
ton. Added to this is the great labor
involved iu the counting of the votes,
although with the amendments Of the
existing law elsewhere proposed it
need not involve the amount of delay
in announcing the result, which is
borne with no little impatience by the
people.
Realizing these conditions, the new
constitutions OF New York and Mas
sachusetts give permission for the use
of voting machines in any couney or
precinct that may decree their employ
ment. This is the first year in which
they have been tried at q presidential
election. Worcester, Mass, a town
somewhat smaller than St. Paul, cast
its vote last Tuesday by means of
fortiy-eight such machines. The ap-
paratus is said to be something
(which deties the sorceries and tricks
of the most depravca ballot box stuff
fer. 1t is something that cannot be
beaten, that registers certainly and
secretly the will of every voter"
The apparatus is in principle the
same as a cash register. The voting
is done by simply pushing in a knob
for each ticket or each candidate
voted for. A knob once pushed in
does not return until the voter leaves
the booth, so that repeating" is i'm
possible. The machine counts and
records each vote as it is put in; and
when the polls close door on the
back is opened and the total number
OF votes given for each candidate is
seen at a glance. There is no count
ing of ballots, and no possibility OF
disturbing the count as registered. II
reduces the cost of elections to a
minimum. insures absolute secrecy
and, in short, seems to have SO much
to recommend it that it will not be
surprising if at the next presidential
election it will he found in extensive
use in many of the states. The
Pioneer Press has for years advocated
the use of these voting machines, and
now that experiment has proved their
success. it cannot be long before the
people of the United States will be
voting by machinery.

Hon. S. L. Glaspell defeated
Judge Rose in the fifth district
by over 700 votes-a regular
landslide, as it were. Judge
Glaspen is recognized as a very
able lawyer and has all the neces-
sary requirements to make an
excellent Judge. The fight has
been made against Judge Rose
on the lines that he did not carry
out the wishes Of the people in
regard to the enforcement of the
prohibition law. We do not care
to go into Judge Roses past re-
cord in these matters-because
we believe that Judge Rose was
criticized where he should not
have been, and he probably was
a little slack in some instances,
too. At the same time the state
attorneys in the different coun-
ties are just as much to blame
in many instances as the presid-
ing judge. Mr.. Glaspen is elect
ed. He knows what the people
want. Will he enforce the laws?
Time will tell. He has chance
to make himself popular Judge.
IF he does not do his duty the
people will no doubt let him
know it next election. In the
meantime we extend congratula-
tions to Mr.. Glaspel and wish
him every success in his official
capacity.

One week has SO materially changed
the business conditions of st. Paul
that a blind man could appreciate it,,
though lost to vision. Everything
was dull and disappointing last week,
business was dull in all lines and
practically suspended in others. The
wholesalers were doing little and were
uncertain about the future. Money
was scarce and hard to get. Nobody
knew how much tighter and harder it
was going to be to raise the means re-
quired to carry on trade. Everything
was uncertain and the outlook was
gloomy, although many thought that
election day would clear the skies.
But hopes cut no figure with the cold
facts existing as they did at that time.
This week was a change and a
change that was, it is claimed, more
noticeable than anything experienced
heretofore, in st. Paul. Tuesday
night when the announcement of Nc
Kinley's election became known a
different feeling possessed st. Paul's
business men and this took definite
form Wednes day morning. Changed
conditions were noticeable at once
and since that time business has
shown remarkable revival. The
business houses have been receiving
an increased amount of mail and in
stead OF letters of discouragement and
apprehension, have come those of
good cheer. It has been a week of
Christmas greetings: or more. as
orders have been pouring in even be-
fore the travelling statesmen have had

case has not any member Of the Grand

The Grand Jury has full power in
the matter. The eyes of the people
are on the Grand Jury to see if the
pull Of the ring is sufficiently strong
to swerve these men from their duty.
Robert Logan is the Foreman, it is
his duty to to see tina the case is pre-
scented if the Z. S. District Attorney
overlooks his duty. If Logan over
looks his, any juryman can call the
