COUNTY JUDGE FEES.

The Walhalla Mountaineer seems to
agree with our editorial of last week, in
refe renee to raising the fees of the pro-
bate Office and clerk of court, so that
these Offices shall become at least self
supporting, but advances another idea
that we cannot agree with, and that is
that the law prohjbi,in county judges
from doing the work of attorneys should
be repealed. While it is true that in
many minor cases that come before the
county judge, with little assistance
from him, there would be no need of an
attorney, yet it must be borne in mind,
that there IRE many cases of ofconsiderable
importance, some OF which are contested
before the county Judge with as much
vigor as are cases in the district court
and in which the judge must give inn
partial decisions. 1t is qnlte evident that
in some cases ifthe judge began the case
as an attorney, he might later be COM
PEELED to pass upon his own work as a
judge, and til people on the her side
would naturally fear that he would be
biased by his first clients and work in
the case, and the Judge, Of course. can
not tell what comp iGations may occur
at the inception of any new case. In the
district court the judge is always very
careful not to even express an opinion
on any question unless the case is
brought before him with both 81 les rep
resented, and the functions OF tn. CO nty
Judge are practically the same as those
of the district Judge.
| The Mountatneer gives as All instance,
where widow had to pay attorneys
81 900 to collect life insurance ot.$2, 900
but we hardly see how the county
judge could have helped that, for unless
the attorneys fee was really less rob-
berry than it would appear TO be, he
could hardly be expected to do that
much work in connection with the duties
of his office without a good Zee. and if
he did the same work, we don't see why
the fee should not be as much. On the
other hand, if the fee was the robbery it
appears to be, then. if the matter had
been reported to the county judge. un-
der any circumstances he would very
likely have exercised his jurisdiction
over the attorney.

A farmer friend suggests that we
ought, editorialIy to advocate the abolish
ment of road poll aud highway taxes as
at present worked out. 1t needs no
argument to prove that under the pres
ent system that the tax as levied aud
"worked"is many cases good deal OF
humhug and that results in the shape
OF good roads are not what they should
be. While we think that many local
tiles have got SO used to the old slipshod
way of road making and repairing that
they would be slow to change,ye! we be-
lieve, if the legislature would amend the
law So tn It townships could vote on the
question and allowing them by majority
vote to raise their road taxes as special
fund to be expended under contract, that
large number of toMnships, would take
advantage of The privilege.

WHEAT INSPECTION.

The grading of wheat is subject that
very few people know much about, ex-
cept from the standpoint Of the producer
and shipper. We ship our wheat and let
the fellow at the other end do the grad
ing, or, if we sell to the elevator, the ele-
vator agent is bound to grade the wheat
as low as possible, as he is subject to the
same thing. So far the State of Mime
sofa, or in reality the millers and elevator
men of Minneapolis and Duluth, have
been the sole judges of the wheat grown
IN North Dakota. These have been our
sole markets. All our wheat goes into
their elevators or their mills. If millers
or dealers from the East or Europe de.
sire our wheat, they have to buy 1t
from Minneapolis or Duluth people and
again these same people have the privi-
lege OF doing the grading. Now Mime
apolis and Dulutii buy considerable
wheat of an inferior grade from places
farther south and taking, it altogether
they seem to have pretty soft thing
with our hard wheat They fix the grade
when they buy, they have an opportunity
to mix, and then to again fix the grades
when they sell. They can play both ends
against the middle. OF course, we would
not be understood as; saying that the
good people residing in the cities named
would do anything to wrong their neigh
bors in North Dakota, but the fact is, it
IS certainly wrong for us to put so great
q temptation in their way, and, if posi-
bic, we should do all we could to re-
move the occasion. Hence we are
heartily in favor Of having another board
OF examiners at W.st Superior, and one
OF them to: be a North Dakota man, as
proposed by the citizens ofthat city, and
who are now, asking favorable action
from our state legislature. Senator Nc
Cumber IS also endeavoring to get,a bill
through the Senate to create national
board Of grain inspectors, and we are
also in favor ot this bill. As we said.
we don't profess to Know much about
the ms and out's Of wheat grading, but
1t occurs e Us that it would not hurt the
grade Of our wheat if there were more
places for is insps psction, and particularly
il one or more of these places were not

Two primary election bills have been
introduced, one in The house and another
in tn esenate. 1t is evident neither of the
authors of these bills has ever read the
returns of the late primary elections in
Kittson county, Minnesota, which, in
brief, were that the Popullsts and Demo.
Gratis agreed beforehand on the ticket,
dividing the county officers belweer,
the two parties, and just forty.nine
of the two parties mentioned voted
for this put up ticket; the rest, about 600
in number, mostly voted the republican
ticket in the, primary and the democratic
ticket at the election. If we were Of the
democratic faith in this state, we certain
ly would favor primary elections. The
plan as worked in a large number Of in.
stances in Minnesota is, first 10 agree
on your own party ticket (alwaSs an easy
matter in minority party and then help
the other party to fight each other; aud ii
the latter is done with the judgment al
ready shown by the democrats across The
Red rivei, the minority can elect their
man nan every time. Primary elections Are
good for 9 minority party because they
reduce the organic ation ot tae dominant
party to individual effort, which is SIM

same fight, got bullet instead, and lie
in unknown graves. A few years ago
one brave admiral won everlasting fame
and fortune at Manila. few months af-
ter, another brave admiral, while in the
line of duty, happened to be twelve miles
away when opportunity" happened TO
come along, and now lies in what is per-
haps premature grave because he miss
ed his opportunity through no fault of
his own.
We hardly care say that we believe in
luck, because that would be pretty near
to acknowledging ourselves heathen at
once; but when we see the way some
people get along in the world and how
some other peopse-better, brighter and
far harder workers-don't get along, at
least, we don't wonder if the boy some
times. gels little confused as to the diff.
ference between the opportunity" that
he is taught to seize and the ''uck, i'll
which he is taught to d,sbelieve.
But this is true, that almost any boy
can become successful man, in the
sense that he may be good and useful
man, and have the regard and respect oI
his fellows, and that this may be in a
comparatively humble position in lite;
While to be rich or powerful is not nec-
essarily to be successful, for some yer,
mean men attain such distinction anc

OPPORTUNITY.

Every boy has the opportunity of be-
ing distinguished man." This is a
time honored saying, and while we would
hardly care to dispute its truth, yet it
don't follow that every boy will become
distinguished man, or that he is lack
ing in brains or any other good quality,
or is in any way failure in life, if he
doesn't become distinguished.
1t may be true Of any ordinary boy, il
he will bend all his energies to one pur-
pose5in life, he may become distinguish
ed in some special line, if he be adapted
to that line; but even here we are wrong
in our premises, as such a boy would
not be an ordinary boy" It seems to
us that it is much nearer the real facts to
say, that=the ordinary boy will be the
average man; and ifhe succeeds in be-
coming that, he need not be ashamed of
his part III life. AS it goes now, the boy
gets sort Of idea that if he aims al any.
thing lower in life than to be President
of the United States, he has no ambition
to speak of, and should be somewhat
ashamed Of himself. And yet, 3aen he
studies his text books in school, and
finds that there are about 70, 600, 600 9TH
er boys who aae being taught the same
nonsense. he wonders what kind 81 a
show he really would have even il .he
had the necessary ambition. u

begun on the Manhattan tower foun-
dation. On April Ia, 1901, the first
wire for the temporary foot bridge was
strung, while the first wire for the per-
manent cable was stretched across the
following November. The cables were
finished in August of 1902.
The opening of the new bridge is
expected to relieve somewhat the over
burden of traffic on the Brooklyn
bridge. This measure of relief, how
ever, will not be nearly so great as
might be supposed at a first glance at
the situation, for the reason that the
great bulk of traffic that will use the
new structure have heretofore crossed
the river by ferry and have not used
the Brooklyn bridge to any extent. The
ultimate relief of the Brooklyn bridge
crush lies in the completion of the third
bridge across the East river already
under construction at a point about
between the Brooklyn bridge
and the Williamsburg structure opened
today. In addition to these three
bridges a fourth is to connect Man
haitian with the Brooklyn shore by way
of Blackwelrs Island. so that New
York in a few years will be able to lay,i
claim to the title of the city of mag
nificent bridges.

WITH FITTING CEREMONIES

in Building and Far ExcelIs the Old
Brooklyn Bridge

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller }
NEW YORK, Dec. 19-Big ships and
little ships tugboats and rowboats,
naptha launches and steam launches,
and scows and craft of every conceiv-
able size and description swarmed in
the East river opposite the Brooklyn
navy yard today and screeched their
whistles and fired their guns to apprise
all within hearing that the new Will
liamsburg bridge, after an expenditure
of $20,000,000 and eight years of toll,
was at last an accomplished fact. 1t
was a day of jubilation for New York
in general and for Williamsburg in par
ticular, for to the people of the last
named section of the metropolis the
completion of the new bridge means
freedom from the dangerous crush they
have been obliged to contend with for
years in crossing the Brooklyn bridge.
The ceremonies attending the formal
opening We're simple but impressive
The chief officials of the city, together
with representatives of the federal gov
eminent, army and naval officers. dis
tinguished engineers and other invited
guests, assembled in the center of the
gigantic span across the river and list
ened to orations appropriate to occa-
sion delivered by Mayor Low. Bridge
Commissioner Lindenthal and Borough
President Canter and Swanstorm.
Commissioner Lindenthal made the
opening address formally turning the
bridge over to the city, The speech
of acceptance was delivered by Mayor
Low and was the chief featre of the
ceremonies. The completion of the ex-
ercises was marked by the booming
of cannon and the unfurling of flags
throughout the great length of the
structure.
The general public was not permit
ted to cross the bridge today and thus
was avoided the possibility of a crush
such as was witnessed at the opening
of the Brooklyn bridge and which re-
slted in the deaths of more than a
score of persons. But one roadway
of the new bridge is entirely completed
and this will probably be opened to
traff1c tomorrow or Monday. II is
expected that the other roadway and |
the paths for pedestrians win be !
ready within a few weeks.
