TRUST HELD LEGAL.
Trust Created by the late c. D. Gilflllan
for His Daughters.

In the Ramsey county district
court last Friday Judge Kelly filed
a decision in the Gilfillan trust case,
holding it good, and denying the
prayer of the executors of the will
of the late c. d. Gilfllan, to have it
declared void so that the principal
trust sum shall be paid into the es-
tate.
The title of the suit is the St. Paul
Trust company as trustee, under a
trust agreement with G. d. Gilfillan,
against Fanny Kingsland Smith and
others.
Mr.. Gilfllan made the agreement
with the trust company in 1896.
The trustee received FIVE United
States bonds of 5000 each, payable
to the trust company as trustees for
Fannie w. F. Gilfllan, Feb. /, 1925.
The present suit is brought by
the trust company for the purpose
of resigning it's trust and having a
successor appointed by the court.
After the execution and delivery
of the trust agreement and not long
before the commencement of this
action, G. D. Gilfillan demanded a
return of the bonds on the ground
that the trust was void. The ex-
ecutors of the will continue in this
position.
Judge Kelly finds that the trust is
legal and proper and that the resig-
nation of the trustee should be ac-
cepted.
Judge Kelly notices the position
of counsel for executors that the
bonds do not mature until 1925, or
twenty eight years from the delivery
of the agreement, and with twenty
two years yet to run that the two
lives in being at that time, Fannie
W. Gilfillan and Emma Gilffllan, may
pass out at any moment; that it fol
lows that this trust agreement re-
strains the alienation of the property
in trust for a period that may be
greater than the duration of these
two lives in being when the trust
was created, and for twenty-one
years and fraction beyond. And
if it does. it is claimed that it is in
violation of the law forbidding per-
petuities.
The court finds that the agreement
does not necessarily suspend the
power of alienation. The United
States might pay the bonds before
that time, or the district court might
direct the bonds sold, and the trust
as to Fannie Gilfi]lan (now Mrs.
Kingsland Smith) is separable from
the other trusts in the agreement.

In view of these facts-the cred
ence, the susceptibility, the reten-
titivenesss of the youthful mind-it
may be stated as general PROPOSE
ton that, in the absence of other in
fiuences, we are just what our read
ing makes us. To paraphrase a
hackneyed line of Shakespeare:
There's literature that shapes our
ends, regard it as we will. In sup
port of this I will cite the life of
Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln had
practically no education other than
that acquired by his reading. He
had few books, but they were good
books. 1t was fortunate that they
were good and equally fortunate
that there were but few, for on that
account he read them over and over;
and when he was not reading he
was thinking of what he had read,
and turning the new ideas, or new
truths over in his mind. His mind
assimilated what he read as his
body assimilated his food, until his
books became the fuel which gene
rated the warmth of his intellectual
life. They grew to be a part of
him, aud they could be seen in all
he said, all he did, all he was. 1t
is not unreasonable to believe that
Lincoln's books might have been of
a character that, instead of making
him world famous, would have kept
him in apparent obscurity.
Books of fiction commonly called
novels should perhaps receive sup
CRITICAL notice in this connection
There are many novels, particular
ly among the older and standard
works, which are both entertaining
and instructive. Still there is no
denying the fact that the novel, as
a whole, as book for general read
ing, has deteriorated during the
last decade. Many have been writ
ten from which nothing can be
learned, while others are positively
harmful. The world would be bet
ter off to-day if the manuscript for
the majority of the novels published
during this period had been thrown
into the fire. The novels known as
"yellow backs,''' and carried on rail
road trains by the CARLOAD are
veritable poison. There are, un-
fortunately, boys with more imagi-
nation than sense, and in such
hands these books are the instru-
ments which often lead to death by
bullet, or on the gallows, or incar-
ceration for life. There are other
novels, more pretentiOus in appear
ance, which often find their way in
to our libraries, that are also streak
ed with yellow. They are bound in
calf, but it is yellow calf, with a
yellow tale inside.
This subject will be continued in
the next number, and, incidentally,
the daily newspapers of the city
will be held up to view.

Ed. Journal: | wish to thank you

struct the canal has been appropri.

the government twenty years TO build

the building OF the branch lines OF

now being surveyed In Gillian coun.

portage road.
1nere is logic In your argument
that the portage road will Indirectly
accelerate the building of the canal,
by partially removing the motives for
delaying the construction OF the canal
The little portage al the Cascades did
have that effect there II seems pre-
posterous that the state of Oregon
should be asked 10 divert the fund for
building its portage road toward buy

need not fear that our congressional
delegation, and that OF Washington
and Idaho, win see that the govern
