NoN.PARTIsAM JUDICIARY

In framing our form of government the
final guarantee of the preservation of the
liberties of the people was vested in the
judiciary 1t was deemed that an inde-
pendent judiciary was sufficient protection
against oppression and unconstitutional
legislation. 1t is felt that under our pres
ent system OF selecting judges, through
partisan conventions, these objects are not
fully attained. There is a general demand
for some change in the system of select
ing the judiciary. To accomplish change
from our present system two methods
have. been suggested. one being founded
upon the national ideas of appointment
and life tenure, the other by a separate
election held in the spring OF the year
at lifetime of the annual town and village
elections. OF the two systems the latter
in my opinion is preferable. Under pri-
mary election law it is impossible to nomi-
nate bipartisan judiciary. and would
therefore, recommend that this law be
so amended as to eliminate judicial Of
fees from its provisions and that a law
be enacted which viii provide for sepa-
rate judIciaI election realize that no radi-
cal innovation would be adopted by the
legislature, but the question being Of

STATE MONUMENT

In 1851 the national government effected
a treaty with the Sioux Indians whereby
there was opened for settlement what is
of our state. The treaty was was one Of the
most important ever made by the ma
tional government with the Indians, as it
involved tract of land so great as to be
an empire in extent. 1t would be proper
for the state to mark the spot where this
treaty occurred, and as there are but few
survivors of that scene, action should not
be too long deferred. A small appropria-
tion should provide for suitable nlonu

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

a very important work done in the pub

vision OF the state board of health In
general, everything relating to the work
of this board has grown enormously dur
ing the past decade. Not only has the
board undertaken work of a general san
itary nature. but it is doing and has done
splendid work in the matter of infectious
and contagious diseases. 1t has also per-
formed good service in dealing with in
fictitious diseases of animals. The work
Should be facilitated by every possible en-

board that every county should have an
