GUARD THE JUDICIARY

No other issue in this campaign in
Minnesota can or ought to take prece-
dence- of the demand that we save the
judiciary Of the state from the con-
taminating blight of politics. We set
this entirely, aside from the claims of
party. 1t is not and ought not to be a
party question. 1t is matter Of
fundamental ethics, and the conscience
and honor of the people should rise su-
perior to all other thought Or consid-
GRAFTON in dealing with it.
Where, the rule of an elective ju-
dietary prevails a great duty is i'm
posed upon the people. This is to see
that the wisest, the ablest, the purest
and the best only obtain judicial Office.
If party claim is allowed to prevail, if
the judgeships are thrown into political
conventions to be squabbled for and
traded for and covered over with the
slime of political bargaining, God save
the state. If the fountain of justice be
corrupted, impurity covers the land,
and no private right and no public in
stftution is safe. The remedy and the
safeguard are in the hands of the peo-
pie themselves. 1t is for them to in
sist that the judiciary be elevated
above the political firing line and the
judgeships apportioned on ground of
fitness only. The way to bring this
about is to insist upon the nomina-
tion by both parties Of fit and proper
men, and to choose from among these
for the bench practically equal num-
Der Of men from both organizations.
The opportunity to do this is here.
The conditions are perfect Without
asserting or discussing any claim OF
superior virtue in this matter for the
Democratic party, it is enough to say
that both on the score of personal
qualification and on the score of the
principle Of -partisanship it's can
didates ought to have the unanimous
support of the people at this time
The party has declared for a nom
partisan judiciary. It has placed itself
on record, and to that pledge it may be
held. If it attempts to throw it aside
in the future, let that be the occasion
for punishment.
1t, has guaranteed it's good faith by
nominating for the supreme court of
the state two Republican candidates in
association with two Democrats. 1t
has proved its faith by its works.
One of these men is at present on the
supreme bench, a man who was not
renominated by the Republicans solely
because he was sold out and traded
away in the disgraceful proceedings of
the state Republican convention. As
sociated with these two men are two
Democrats of the highest character
and ability. Judge Otis and Hon. O..
NJ Hail would do honor to any bench
and give authority and force to any
judicial ruling.
In Ramsey county the issue is as
straightly defined. Here again the Re-
publican party has practically partisan
lied the bench and nominated, in the
usual way and by the usual methods re-
sorted to in political conventions, strict
ly party candidates, basing their claims
on party service; whose election would
remove from the bench of the district
court its only Democratic occupant. a
man whose record is not only so un-
blemished but SO brilliant that no enc
my can be found to criticise him.
The Democratic party has renomi-

With election day only two weeks

principal figure in the Republican
state canvass. With all the vast and

to efface himself and the studied at
tempts of his advocates to make the
voters believe that he is not the issue
have failed. His candidate for gov

SWIM CHANNEL.
William j. Glover, Jr, Champion OF
Maryland, Will Attempt the
Difficult Feat,

Baltimore, Md, ian. 30.-Unless
something unforeseen occurs William
j. Glover, jr., the champion long dis
lance swimmer of Maryland, will
surely attempt to swim the English
channel during the coming summer.
For several weeks Glover has been
making preparations to attempt the
wonderful feat, but the necessary
financial backing was lacking. This
greatest of all Glover's difficulties has
been overcome.
Glover is % years of age and a very
muscular young man. he became
famous as a swimmer by swimming
from COLCHESTER Beach to RivervieW
Park on June 25, 1901, a distance Of
twenty-three miles. owing to thu
strong current it is claimed that Glow
er was carried at least two miles out
of his course. Last summer he at
tempted twice to swim from Poole's
Island at the mouth of the Elk river,
to Baltimore, a distance of twenty
| five miles. The first time he was COM
PEELED to abandon the trip after SWIM
| ming about four miles on account OF
| the r~oughness of the sea. His second
attempt would have been successful
but for a heavy electrical storm. He
had been in the water for ten hours
and was within about two miles or
finishing when his trainers compelled
| him to abandon the trip for fear all
hands would lose their lives. Glover
would not give up and had to be
pulled from the water.

BABY BURNED TO DEATH
Sisters Put Little One in Hot Oven to

La Crosse, Wis, Jan. 2S.-As a result
Of momentary negligence on h part
IF Mrs. Edward Schmidt, Matilda, a
l6-months-old baby, was placed in an
wen by Mary, aged 5, and burned to a
crisp.
Mrs. Schmidt had heated the oven
preparatory to baking bread n it was
almost red hot. She left three little
girls including the baby in the kitchen
while she chopped more fuel in the
Hoodshed about fifty feet from the
house. When she returned the baby
was missing, but her questions to the
,ther children brought no information.
After searching the house h smelt
an odor of cooking flesh, and, rushing
% the stove, jerked open the oven door.
The child's body, baked to a crisp, was
disclosed.
It appears that the ~5-year-old sister,
believing the infant was cold, sought
20 warm it, and pushing it into the
oven closed the door, then forgot it.
When the mother opened the oven
door the draft caused the clothing Of
the child to burst into flames and
charred its already blackened body un~
Ill it vas almost unrecognizable. I'm
able to pull the flaming corpse from the
stove, the frantic mother ran scream
ing for help, and when the body was at
asst recovered little remained.

Ann Arbor Students Will Take
Increasing Doses Of
Deadly Drug.
AND STUDY THE EFFECTS
BY This Cheerful Process They Hope

Venom for Medical Pur-

Ann Arbor, Mich, Jan. 2S.-Upper
tlassmen of the Alpha Sigma fraterni-
~ at the University of Michigan have
decided to drink an unknown poison
till it's effects on the human system are

poison and not a snake venom.
Begin with Small Doses.
Beginning with a minute draft taken
once every two hours, the potion Will
be increased every week till the men
IAN stand a quantity Of poison which
might be fatal at first. This will con-

symptoms are to be made every TWO
hours and will be sent to New York

A searching threefold examination Of
physical, mental n moral character Is
given each patient before his expert

nents but his mental eccentricities are
recorded by each man with consclen-
sious thoroughness.
A bad habit, bad temper. or other
~!diosyncrasy is to be tested under the
drugs effect as thoroughly as the heal
action. Ordinary bad habits are to be
continued during the poison period;
smoking is allowed, but all alcoholic
drinking must stop.
Test Is to Last Three Months.
The treatment will begin in Febru
