JUDGESHIP CONTEST
MANY CANDIDATES FOR POLICE
COURT BENCH.

The contest for the judgeship of the Po-
lice Court made vacant by the recent
death of Judge Scott. is still being prose-
cuted with vigor by the friends of the sew
eral candidates. 1t Is understood that
leading business man who is on terms of
some intimacy with President Roosevelt
has written him a letter which. while 1t is
not In the nature of an Endorsement for
any of those named for the place, is
said to set forth the requirements that
should be possessed by the man who is to
be appointed.
The writer uses the late Judge Thomas
Miller of the Police Court as an example
OF the qualities that should be possessed
by the appointee. He says a complete
knowledge of law Is not as necessary for a
judge of the lower court as is an extern
sive knowledge of human nature. The
Police Court judge, 1t Is stated, should be
able quickly to decide between the con-
firmed lawbreaker and the unfortunate Of
life who require sympathy and moral sua-
sion more often than they do punishment.
Also that the new judge, whoever he may
be, should be man who can temper JUS
tics with mercy and who is absolutely
free from fanaticism or prejudice. In
word a man of the people and the world.
It Is also stated that the Presidents
known views coincide with those OF the
business man who has written to him.
AddltlOnai endorsements, nave been SUBJ
mitted, 1T Is understood, In favor of Judge
Lewis /. O'Neal and Judge Anson s. Tay-
lor, both of whom have received backing
from soldier organizations.
Rumors Of Dark Horse.
There are still rumors that certain dark
horse has taken leading place in the race
and it is said his name will not be de-
veloped unless he is appointed to fill the
vacancy.

Mental Cases Cause Concern.

THE most serious problem at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year was how to properly
care for and promptly dispose Of the In
creasing number OF mental cases sent to
the asylum hospital for observation and
treatment. The receiving ward, in which
they were detained. was neither properly
arranged nor sufficiently secure for this
class Of patients, nor were visiting physi-
clans always available to make examina-
tions to insure the prompt removal Of pa
tients to the Hospital for the Insane. The
proper &C vltion Of the diflculty would
have been the erection Of a weil-appointed
house OF detention for mental suspects

PLAN TO BOND MEN
In FOREST SERVICE

Washington, Sept. 12.--While in the
northwest Secretary Wilson, will inves-
tigate the forest service with a view to
ascertaining whether it will not be de-
sirable to place the forest rangers and
supervisors under bonds. Arrange
ments have already been made to put
these officials in uniform and if the
bonding project seems proper Secretary
Wilson, will perfect The details, and
then ask. congress for appropriate legis-
lation.
The general government has now thru
it's extensive forest reservations gone
into the lumber business, as Secretary
Wilson puts it. In single season the
forest RINGERS and supervisors collect
as much as 100000 in deposits from
! lumbermen who want to cut ripe and
dead and down timber. At present
there is no plan for the bonding of
these officials, and while no corruption
has thus far been discovered, ordinary
| business precaution seems to demand
/ that the service be organized along reg
ular business ires. Within a few
years the government will probably con
/ troll the sale Of pine valued at from
! $2,O00o0O to $12,000,000 annually.

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 12.-An effort
is being made to change again the con.
tract grade on the Duluth Board OF
Trade. Early in the summer the grade
was changed from No. l northern to
No. 2 northern. At that time many
believed the grade should be left No.
1 northern, but that N. 2 should be
made deliverable at a fixed penalty.
That view did not find majority, how
ever, and the change was made.
Now an effort is being made to
change the grade back to No. l North,
ern, but with No. deliverable at a
penalty. The required number Of mem
bers have petitioned for a meeting to
discuss the ACCESSIBILITY Of this.
If this plan is favored, the directors
will prepare a resolution and submit
the matter to vote. The trading at
present is practically all in the old Sep
TENDER option, which calls for No. /
northern, while there is very little do
ing in the new, which calls for No: 2.
Many members, however. believe that
the change has not been in existence
Ion genough to demonstrate its success
or failure, and the change petitioned
for may not be made.
