Revivlng the Chauncey-Wass Case.

The Albert Lea Standard, nominally
DemOcratic-P opulist, but yielding it's
good sense to the environment that sur
rounds a local candidate, goes back a
long way to find an objection to Judge
Mitchell in the Chauncey-Was case
that created such an uproar some fff-
teen years ago. That decision consti-
tutes, in its judgment, sufficient cause
for defeating Judge Mitchell and elect
ing Mr.. Lovely. The years that have
Standard for criminal libel have had
that notifying influence which time
exerts and made that lovely now which
was abhOrrent then.
This revival of accusation against
Judge Mitchell and his colleagues on
the bench for that decision is but an
accusation against them for not MAX
ing law by overturning law that had
stood ever since courts administered it.
1t is stale because the legislature that
met after the rendition Of that deci-
sion amended it's law so that the facts
on which that case went form a COM
plete defense in any like case. The de-
cisiOn held that the fact that a man
had paid the taxes levied upon his land.
for which he held a treasurer's receipt,
was no defense in an action brought by
the purchaser of the land for the same
tax as delinquent. The decision shock
ed the sense of justice, and there was
a loud cutlery against it. 1t is the
echo Of this cry that the Standard re-
wives. The legislature, the following
session, provided that payment should
be a complete defense to any suit
brought on a sale for the tax.
The fault was not with the court,
but with our system Of tax collections.
That substituted judicial proceedings
for the ordinary civil process. It made
the process to enforce the payment of
taxes legal action in which the pub
lication of the delinquent list was the
service of summons on the owner of
the land to appear in court and show
cause why judgment for the tax should
not be entered. 1t was che equivalent

Picking the Winners.

If all signs do not fail, the convention
that is to meet this morning in Market
hall will name the officials of Ramsey
county for the next two years. The
star. of the Democracy is in the as
cendant, and it only needs that the con-
vention select men peculiarly fitted for
the offices to which they aspire in or
der that the Democrats may carry the
county.
Ramsey county is naturally and ira
ditionally Democratic. For the first
time In some years the Democracy is
united. There is no evidence of any
bitterness of contention, on personal
lines, over the nominations. 1t is prac-
tically certain that the best minds of
the party will lead in the convention,
and there is every reason to hope that
the ticket nominated will shine by
comparison with the nominees of the
Plunderbund. The Democrats must UT
derstand that the people of the county,
aside from the Republican politicians,
are looking to the Democratic conVen-
ton to put in nomination ticket that
will give assurance of honest and eff
ficient administration of county affairs.
The ticket selected by the convention
must name a man for county auditor
who is something more than a practical
ward politician with a capacity for or
ganiZing precincts and trading votes.
The Republican candidate for the Of
flee has no claim whatever on the peo-
PIE of the county by reason of fitness.
He is journeyman politician; he
knows nothing, cares nothing, for the
rights of the people, and his elevation
to the important office of county au-
ditor would mean the perpetuation or
clerical and executive incompetency
and political jobbery in the office.
A candidate must be named for
sheriff who will insure honest and fair
administration Of that office in opposi-
ton to the candidate of the spokesman
named by the Republicans. candi-
date for treasurer who will administer
the finances of the county as they have
not been administered for four years,
at least. and who will keep the hands
of the heelers out of the public treasury
must be nominated.
The convention must name a cam
didate for county attorney who Will In
sure the conduct of the Office of public
prosecutor on SuCn lilies DIS Will lIeC
it from the odium that has attached
to it for two years. Other candidates
for office must be selected who will
have such personal fitness for the
places to which they aspire that the
mere contrast of the men with the Re-
publican candidates will be enough to
convince the honest voter. A judicial
ticket must be nominated including
men learned in the law and Of such
high personal character that a proper
rebuke may be administered by them
to the attempt to make the judicial Of
flee the reward of the practical politI-
clan.
These things are very important.
They should be we'll considered by the
Democratic party in convention, and
the men elected to the convention
should consider themselves\ personal
guarantees Of the intention Of the
Democracy to advance only such men
as are capable, efficient and peculiarly
fit for the places they aim to occupy.

''Now. I'll tell you the best thing in the

WOMEN AND ORDERS OF MERIT

The Order of the Torch was conferred ex-
clusively upon women, and it was created In
114S at the siege of Tortosa by the Moors. So
hard pressed were the men that the women
plunged into the battle and fought shoulder
to shoulder with the men, their courage
shining like torch-hence the name of the
order.
Even in Turkey an order exists exclusively
for women. 1t was founded in 1850 by Sultan
Abdul Hamid, and is among the youngest
OF the orders for women 1t was first won by
simple Turkish girl, who enlisted In the
army instead of her brother. the sole support
Of the family, and served three years with
distinction. The order is a five-pointed star
borne upon wreath. In the center of the
star is a circular band containing the words
in Turkish, Love of man." Help and
Charity"
Napoleon made a special provision
when the Cross of the Legion of Honor
was founded in 1902 that women should be
debarred from the right of winning it: but
when informed Of the remarkable exploits of
young girl, Virginie Ghesqure, who dis
guised her SEX and, enlisting in the place
of her invalid brother, distinguished herself
on the battlefield, he was induced to revoke
MS decision and since that time women as
we'll as men in France have won this badge
of honor Marie Schelling, a Belgian girl
fought with the French armies at Jemappes,
Jena. and Austerlitz, and was wounded again
and again. She rose to the rank of sub
lieutenant, when, her sex being accidentally
discovered, she was retired with the Cross
Of the Legion Of Honor and considerable
pension.
This order of merit was conferred upon
little ten-year-old American girl in 1888
the year of the Worlds fair. The child

day while walking along country road that

thusiasm were unbounded, and not long
afterward Jeanne was decorated with the
