JUDGE BILL MAY FAIL.
Senators of Seventh District Are Generally
Opposed to it.

Opposed to it.
The bill for third Judge in the
Seventh judicial district, which passed
the house of representatives on March
-, is opposed in the senate by most of
the members in the senate and it will
be defeated unless the attitude of the
senators change.
1t will cause considerable disappoint-
ment in Little Falls if this is the case.
If the bill for a third Judge is not
passed there is a sentiment in favor of
transferring Morrison county from the
Seventh to the Fifteenth district The
latter district which includes Crow
Wing, Cass, Itasca, Aitkin, Hubbard
and Beltrami counties, has just been
allowed second judge, and they could
more easily care for the Morrison
county work than can the two Judges
in the Seventh district.
A telephone message from Repre-
sentative Rider states that the senators
from the counties in the Seventh Judi
elal district met on, Friday and the
only senators favor1ng the bill were
Ferris and Brewer. The others are
Barker, Wood, Ward, Batz. Cole and
Peterson, and all of them who were
present opposed it.-Little Falls Tran

CORNER STONE LAID.
The rlethodists Lay the Corner Stone
of the New Edifice With
Due Ceremony.
Rev. DR.. Forbes Delivered an ElO=
auent Sermon and Address
Last Sunday.

Palm Sunday, 1903, will be remem-
bered long time ly"those in Princeton
who heard Dr.. Forbes preach at the NJ.
E. church in the morning and who at
tended the laying of the corner stone
of the new church in the afternoon.
The day will always remain a great
landmark in the history of Methodis1n
in Princeton and vicinity, as the stone
that was placed in the new edifce will
indeed be i stepping stone to higher
things. The ceremony was impressive,
an event'of much import to the N. +.
church of Princeton but also because
of the fact that it shows the flow OF
great moral and religious tide in
Princeton and vicinity.
Rev. Dr.. Forbes came up from St.
Paul to he present and to otficiate at
the ceremony. He preached & sermon
rich with the spirit Of F.a5tertide and
most appropriate for the occasion. The
Alpha and Omega OF his sermon were
the forty-l:;llch chapter of Genesis and
the second chapter Of St. Luke. The
sermon described the pathway from the
days Of Abraham, I5;sac and jacob, along
through the ages to the cross and res
direction. An intimation of the star
of Bethlehem could be discerned when
Jacob called his sons TO his bedside as
he was about to die and placed the seal
of Messianic prophecy upon Judah.
THE scepter shall not depart from
Judah, nor g law giver from between
his feet until Shiloh come
The history Of the children Of Israel,
and their journey to the promised land
was pictured with great clearness and
power and when the prophet foretold
the birth of the Saviour as he looked
over the great cities of the world he
named none Of them for the birthplace
Of Christ. There was Rome in her
glory. Classic Athens with its great
culture and learning, Alexandria with
its wonderful libraries, and Babylon
with its magniticenco, but none of these
great cities were to be the birthplace
of the Saviour. But thou Bethlehem,
Ephratah, though thou be little among
the thousands of Judah, vet cut CT thee
shall he come forth unto NE that is to
be ruler OF Israel whose goings forth
have been Of old. from everlasting"
The birth Of Christ was to mean the
deiticaton OF man or the incarnation Of
the Diety. Eividly did Dr.. Forbes pic
ture the advent of the Great Retlee,ncr
and the death and resurrection and
ascension and how well he tod Of the

A MERITED ROAST.

for the Position He At
tempts to Fill.
Has no Regard for the Rights of Others
Provided He Achieves
Notoriety.


meanors and making much of the few
good deeds of the State public exam
lner: the Republican newspapers of
the twin cities and an influential polit-
lcal element which is back of them
have an axe to grind. None but those
who will not see could be so blind to
the condition of affairs in the Office of
the examiner, which is fast becoming a
State scandal.
A recent publication declares that
1T is evident that the people who are
urging the removal of Mr.. johnson are
not familiar with the character of the
service he is rendering the State in his
capacity as public examiner The
people Of Minnesota who are urging
MIR. Johnson's removal are altogether
too familiar with the character of the
service which that gentleman is rem
dering. Granting, for the moment and
for the sake of argument, that Mr..
johnson has done every specific thing
that has been claimed for him, the peo-
pie Of northern Minnesota declare, from
knowledge founded on experience, that
he is utterly unfit for the duties and
responsibilities of the high Office of
public examiner.
The office of public examiner is one
of heavy responsibility He must be
fearless in exposing wrong doing, yet
exceedingly jealous Of imputing wrong
to the innocent. The incumbent of
such an Office should be a man of high
character, keen and courageous in the
discharge of his duties but sensitive in
the extreme to the rights of Others
Such man, the present incumbent
| emphatically is not. His official career
demonstrates his utter irresponsibility.
We grant that Mr.. johnson has been
active but his activity has been that of
a man who runs amuck. Mr.. Johnson's
doings in northern Minnesota are
enough to condemn him forever as a
public official. He spent months in
Polk, Norman, Red Lake and Marshall
counties Investigating the records of
different county officials. At the con-
clusion of his labors, he announced that
he had discovered that the people of
| these counties had been robbed of
thousands Of dollars by their public
officials. An investigation followed and
1t was demonstrated that not only had
the people of these counties not been
robbed of 4 dollar, but that public bust
ness had been conducted with an in
tegrity and efficiency that had saved
these counties thousands of dollars.
MIR. johnson was unable to produce one
particle Of evidence to support his
grave charges. The inquiry which he
set on foot simply demonstrated that
he had made his charges out of whole
cloth.
Any man so utterly irresponsible is
wholly unfit for the Office Of public en-
amlner. The petitions for his removal
are based on facts that can be proved.
The interests of the State demand that
this matter shall no longer be hushed
up but that it shall be fully investi-
gated. Times.

The sermon was a masterpiece of
hope and faith and Dr.. Forbes made all

The ceremony of laying the corner

the afternoon at 3 o'clock. The event

sisted by Rev. Gratz. The address
was delivered, by Dr.. Forbes and his re-
marks were most fitting for the occas-
sion. He said that We were told to
subduc the world, and that man was
Gods agent il unfolding His great
plans. We build homes and places of

ship his Creator builds churches.
Home was the world first institution,
but with all its Influences for good. it
could never ia :le the place of the
church, where the Young. those in
their prime and the aged kneel at the
chancel where the sacramental seal is
placed on the brow: and the ordinance
OF baptism i, administered: where the
babe is brought to christen. where
bride anu: groom Join hands forever,
and where at last the coffin with it's
dead IS placed when the last sad rites
are said. The pulpit was the great
educator Of the American people. and
the legislature and the church work
hand ana hand. The legislature makes
the laws, while the church aids largely
in crystalizing public sentiment. in
shaping legislation and in helping to
enforce laws. The church was also
the great singing school of the nation.
1t teaches us to sing All Hail the
Power Of Jesus Name" Jesus, Lover
of My Soul" ''Rock of Ages and all
the great songs that have cheered
thousands from childhood to old ace.
The church was the mother of song
and poetry. No inidel ever wrote
great song Or poem. There were
three things from which we could not
escape, sin, sorrow and death. The
church was Gods remedy for sin. 1t
stood for those things that taught men
how to live and how to die.
DR.. Forbes paid a tribute to the
Methodist Episcopal church, and told
OF its great work in religious fields. It
was broad and liberal and it's only re-
qulrement was that man should flee
from the wrath that is to come. It's
religion was simple religion and was
marked by warmth of heart and re-
quired no great intellect.
After the address the Rev. w. Ell.
Gratz read the following brief sketch of
the Methodist church of Princeton:
In the year 1914 the Rock River Con-
ference appointed Rev. Joseph Hurl-
burt to the St. Croix River Mission.
This Mission included all of the SETTLE
ments of the Mississippi and it's tribu-
taries above the head of Lake Pepin.

Many reasons might be given to show

That this boy at this age of great ap-
probability and impressiveness, is
being lost to the Sunday school, we
all acknowledge, and Il is for me to
suggest some reasons why. I do not
expect that you win all agree with me
at this point. but j trust that some OF
these suggestions may be productive Of
thought:
First. Because of sterotyped meth
DDS, traditions. uniformity, etc.
Second. Because of a lack OF SYM
pathy between teacher and pupil.
Third Because Of a lack of incen-
tive.
Fourth. Because of a lack Of point OF
contact with real life. Three things
are necessary in teaching boys: Real
ity. nationality, service.
What remedy shall we adopt?
First Recognize and apply the gang
instinct.
Second. Study the needs of boys
and as far as possible, supply them.
Third. Encourage and develop his
all too rapid development as found at
this age. You can do more with than
for boys.
Fourth. Be natural. frank, noble
manly, heroic and kind.
