CHILD RETURNED.
Giles ESteIIe is Given His
Daughter.
Judge Cray Decides That the Courts
Former Order Shall Be Sustained
---Other Business.

Judge Cray Monday morning decided
to restore to Giles J. Estelle of Lake
Crystal his nine year old daughter,
who had returned to Mankato with her
! mother at the latter's solicitation or
encouragement, SO Mr.. Estelle claims
All of the parties were in court at
nine O'Clock, Mr.. and Mrs Estelle and
the daughter, Lulu. Judge Cray said
. that he could see no reason why the
previous order of the court, that the
child remain with her parents alter
nately, six months at time, should
not stand, and he directed that that
order be complied with. He thought
that the interests of the child were as
kindly looked after at the home of one
parent as at that of the other. AS for
any preference made by the child, she
was too young to make any selection.
The father, mother and daughter left
the court room together, and the child
will spend the ensuing five months at
her fathers home in Lake Crystal.
The condition of affairs is very
unfortunate one for the child, and will
be until the order of the court is COM
piled with in spirit as we'll as to the
letter.
The following is Judge Cray 8
memorandum, attached to his order:
But recently by agreement of par
ties hereto, the judgment of this court
was entered that the custody of this
child be had by parties hereto alter
nately, six months each ; no reason ap-
pears in the proofs or otherwise why
the parties should not obey--sa judg-
ment
SIT does not appear that the condi
tions or relations of the parties or of
the child in question have changed
since said Judgment was SO entered.
Parties cannot lightly disregard the
Judgment of the court entered at their
own solicitation. While the courts
will always regard as of the highest
Importance the interests of the child,
it does not necessarily follow that the
wishes of child of tender years
should be seriously regarded. l see no
reason why the interests of this chill d
will not be we'll protected by leaving
her in charge of the relator as provided
by the judgment in question.
Whatever may be said as to the
wisdom of an order granting the Gus
tody of child Of tender years first to
one parent and then to another, for
short periods of time, the judgment
of this court has been so entered by
agreement of the parties hereto.

shortly received an order to attend De-

how he came to return the salute. know
ing full well he was not entitled to it.

promptly answered:

Sugar as a Power.

1t is a curious fact that at this mo-
ment sugar is a leading factor in world
politics For the British Government
it is a revenue and tax question. For
Germany, whose yearly production is
!, 700 900 tons of beet sugar, nearly one
fourth of the total sugar production or
the world, it is tariff, bounty and ex-
port question. For Russia it is the
same. And in the United States it is
tariff and colonial question. The cane
sugar crop of Cuba plus that of Louis
lana and our inland possessions would
if Cuba were annexed-make the Am
erican sugar crop equal nearly 1,000,0Oo
tons a year, and annexationists claim
this would put us into formidable COM
petition with Germany for the sugar
trade of British and other non-sugar-
growing countries. But the tariff-prop-
ped interests of the Sugar Trust, on
the other hand, it is said, require that
Cuba shall be free and Independent,
at least sufficiently so to enable the
trust to maintain the tariff barrier
against her big sugar crop.-Baltimore
