The Duluth dailies, finding. re-
liable news a most painful scare
ity, on Tuesday produced a ca.
nard from whole cloth in effect
that Judge Moer had modified
his decision in injunction case of
E. S. Smith against the board of
county commissioners so as tol
allow the building of nineteen
miles of the road from a point
near the Tower & Itasca road to
the head Of lake Vermilion. The
power of the district Judge 20 so
modify his decision should he
see fit is unquestioned, but the
utter absurdity of a modification
of this nature was too patent to
permit Of serious consideration
by anyone competent of UNDER
standing the full meaning of such
an order, and should the road
ever be extended northerly from
this city it will be only after the
dissolution of the restraining or
der by a higher court. Such re
verse decision or need thereof to
meet the end apparently aimed
at by the county board under the
direction of Chairman Morcom
will doubtless be obvlated by the
squandering of the surplus cash
in the road fund by it's expendi
ture on the Floodwood, Swan
Lake and other roads in the south
end OF the county, if the threats
made by the board and its bench
men are carried out. The evil
dent feeling Of the board since
the commencement OF the suit
has been that might is right
that they are the masters and
not the servants of the people,
and that if their will is to be
thwarted by the people in one
way they will still show that they
are the masters by taking IRE
