MIR. Robertson Says Judge. Hine Has

been M1s1mfOrm
To the Editor Of The Globe.
In your report of the discussion in the
chamber Of comtnerce yesterday. of the
bill to reorganize the. municipal court of
st. Paul, Judge Hine is made to say that
the matter originally started from the
fact that when he went into Office he
insisted that prisoners be relieved Of any
solicitation on the part of attorneys while
they were In the court room. This Gre
ated antagonism against him personally.
and some Of Judge Orr's acts produced
an antagonism In the minds Of other at
torneys These two facts united to pro-
duce this revolt"
As 1 drew the proposed law at the re-
quest of citizens, and taxpayers of this
city. who had only the welfare of the
public at heart this statement is unjust
to them, and I regret that Judge Hine
has been misinformed. My personal re-
lations with the judges Of the municipal
court have always been friendly and
expect them to continue so. AS an Illus
tration Of this l call attention to the fact
that the bill will continue both Of them
in office until the next election, instead of
ousting them and giving the appointment
OF their successors to the governor Of the
state, as is usual when a court is created.
In conclusion I desire to state that I
drew the bill without consultation with,
or suggestion from. any Of the members
Of the bar who practice on the crimina l
side Of the court. and to whom Judge
H1ne must: have had reference, and that
any i'll feeling any Of them may have had
toward to court could have in no manner
Influenced me. AS Judge Hine knows
that 1 do not practice in that branch Of
the court he could not have intended to
reflect on me personally. Yours truly,

THE UNIVERSAL, LAW

a statement given out by Mr.. Roberts,
United States treasurer. contains soma
statements of fact. aside from some con-
clusions he draws which need not be con-
sidered that should, with some exneri-
enees so recent as to be fresh in all
memories, set men who desire the truth
only to the use of their reasoning powers
Inc first fact he states is that appeals
to his office are coming from the South
west and West for notes of small de-
nominations; appeals that, he saws. are
absolutely piteous," a description that
? may be taken as overdrawn.S The fact that
a strong demand exists for small notes Is
ythe important point. 1t Is not necessary
to take his explanation of the cause of
TINS demand, the prosperity of the coun-
try, the growth of business and the ex
pansion of business" as the sufficing one
1t can be more readily and accurately
found In the application to human action
or the law of motion that runs on the
lines of least resistance The note of
small denomination takes the place and
does the work Of the cumbersome metal
lie coin, but with less outlay of exertion
Given his choice, any one will take the
notes that he can carry in a vest pocIet
In preference to the coin that would bur-
zen his pocket
Another fact stated by the treasurer
closely related. as to cause, to the first
one is that the treasury is oversowins
with gold coin. and more could be got if
the treasury would exchange notes for
It. The banks refuse to exchange their
United States notes of large denomina-
ton for those of small size, and refuse
10 exchange their notes for gold coin for
precisely the same reason that the house
holder, making his daily purchases. pre-
fers paper TO metallic money The notes
carry large representative values in small
compass and save the loss from abrasion
and the trouble of storing their gold
equivalents. The activities of the banker
and the; householder obey the same law
and seek to gain their ends with the least
expenditure of effort. This is universal
law, opera ting ON men as well as in ma
ture
Still another fact is worth noting as In
dicating a condition Of the present. filaan-
cial system that needs correction. He says

THE PITY OF 1T.

War at its best has more of pathos
than of glory. When It is waged against
oppression or when principles of honor
are at stake, it's triumphs are shadowed
by it's sacrifices. When the forces of
maturing civilization, great through free
pulse to liberty there is little left to war
but sadness. For the blood which is be-
ing poured out In the trenches at Manila
no adequate return is apparent. Men
like gallant Col. Egbert and Lieut.. Kray-
enbuhl have offered up their lives, and to
what purpose? To show that the Ameri-
can soldier Is able to die a soldiers
death Such proof was not wanted.
Death is too high price to prove a
/. valor that Is not questioned. And If not
for this. what then? To force our free
dom upon people who have their own
ideas of liberty? Freedom against frse-
dom. History has nothing to show in
parallel. Men have fought to Cypress
and have gloried In their triumph, but
never before has liberty been offered in
volleys. Obedient to his duty, fighting
in contravention to every principle Of his
life and education, the American soldier
at Manila is the noblest sacrifice that
wars annals can show.
1t is the pity of it all that Is most ap-
parent now. Free blood is cementing
bonds that, call them by what name you
will, represent In the end only slavery.
Why ours to bear this burden? The
present policy in the Philippines can be
excused only on the ground of selfish
ness. Yet selfishness has been disclaim-
ed The war is not one of conquest, the
country IS told. There is talk of manifest
destiny, and the progress of civilizato
catch phrases that mean nothing. The
truth Is that all this sacrifice Of life is
never indorse and which even It's authors
are afraid to admit In the day of reck-
oning, all evasions will be cleared away
and the responsibility either for gigan-
tic blunder or for an attempt at ag-
grandizement, will be fixed. Then it will
be time to punish; this Is the day for
only regret, for pity for the Filipino dead
in the trenches, for the boy in blue falling
in the advance

A STORY OF D1sHoNoR.

The story of the handling Of the pine
and the Indian reservations has been one
long narrative of fraud, corruption and
theft Since the state auditors Office
beginning in 1891 and since continued. be-
gan the work of systematically watching
depredations, those lands have been COM
paratively free from undetected and un-
punished theft; and the statement Of
Special United States Attorney Stryker,
made In Sundays G o b e, showed how
extensive had been the looting of the
pine on land still owned by the general
government. But probably neither the
state nor the federal government have
been so preyed upon as have the Chippe-
was. through connivance of government
agents and lumbermen. Under the act
Of 1889 the pine on their reservati ton was
to be estimated by men appointed by the
commissioner Of the general land office,
and the pine was to be sold at not less
than 50 per Thousand feet of standing
accepted for the quantity of pine on the
tract
There followed the same old story Of
corrupted estimators reporting the guam
tity Of standing pine at scandalously low
figures, and the lumbermen buying at the
estimates made by men whom they had
corrupted. Administrations changed, and
the corps of estimators charged, only to
$6 a day. was charged to the Indians
against the fund derived from sales
of pine. Then was added the dead
AMI down feature of the scandal. the
1ured by fires. under which were per-
patrated the outright thefts, an instance
of which Mr.. Stry!Ser gave, where a per-
nit to cut 2.5O 900 was assigned by the
Indian. grantees to 1u1nbermen who cut
22,900,000. The Chtppewas protested; sent
delegation after delegation to Washing
ton to represent them. but got very
little consideration.
II one may accept the explanation OF re-
cent events, made by those in position to
know the facts. In the order Of Land
Commissioner Hermann to sell the pine
on the ceded land, the protest of She
legislature against the sale Of the I.eech
lake pine, and the commissioner with
drawal of it from his intended SALE we
md the same old influences at work, the
same old story repeated. The explana-
ton is that the threatening attitude of
the Chippewas around Leech lake, cul-
minating IN the outbreak of last year
SO alarmed the estimatorS that they
actually made fairly accurate estimate,
while that of the pine on the ceded land
is after the old style of Understanding.
II the Leech lake sale can be deferred
until the storm blows over. another set Of
estimators may be induced to put fig
ures on the amount of standing pine that
will enable the lumilermen, at the mini
mum of s. a thousand. to get the pine
at nominal sum
Whether this explanation is the correct

from records of states wise enough to
demand by law a complete registration of
deaths and diseases. Outside these regis
tratiOn states there will be no repetition
Of the investigation.
Another purely novel characteristic OF
the new census scheme is that it will not
refer to the year 1900 alone. Only the
statistics Of population, agricultural prod
ucts, mechanical and manufacturing es-
adjustments and of mortality and vital
statistics need refer particularly to that
year. What are to be known as Special
reports" are to cover many other inter-
estfng problems, but will be delayed un-
til after the regular reports are out. If
the actual field work for these misceI-
laneous Investigations is made in 1905,
for instance. the agents will gather data
relating to that year and not to 1900.
THE INSANE.
The investigation of the condition of the
insane, feeble minded, deaf, dumb, blind
paupers. criminals, delinquent boys and
girls. etc, crossed off the list of ques-
tions asked In each household, will be
left entirely to special agents, who will
visit all asylums, almshouses, prisons re-
formatories, benevolent institutions, ETC.,
and gather their data directly from the
officials. One special investigation will
be devoted to social statistics of cities
alone. another to public Indebtedness
valuation. taxation and expenditures An
interesting special report will relate sole
ly to religious bodies. Special agents will
count the number Of denominations, Of
organizations, Of ministers, of commune
cants of members, of churches, Sunday
schools, parsonages, etc, and the seating
capacity of all edifces used for religious
worship. A special investigation will be
made into the fast growing electric light
and power, telegraph and telephone bust
ness; another to transportation by water,
street railways and express companies
