THEN CHANGE THE LAW.

If Judge Reeds decision in the
Evitts case is law, every city, county
and district in the state is without
any protection in the matter of hav-
ing good. reputable, honest men IN
office; that is, without any protec.
tion except that of the ballot, which
in many cases comes too late, thanks
TO the uncertainty of human nature.
If the legislatures of Kentucky have
failed to provide means of removing
a man from office If he is morally I'M
fit, they have certainly overlooked d
very important point. We have no
reference to the case in point. We
do not presume to pass on the guilt
or innocence of the city jailer, or on
his fitness to hold office. Neither 10
we presume to question the correct
ness of Judge Reeds decision in the
case. But It is obvious to anyone
that if it is really the law, there is
no longer any moral qualification for
public officials. Any official from the
mayor down may be DR.. Jekyll ana
Mr.. Hyde with impunity He may
sink to the lowest depths of degrade
tion as a private citizen and still be
as immaculate as ever as a public Of
fetal, provided he discharges the du-
ties required of him.
This may be good law, but il is
bad morals. II is calculated to re.
move whatever vestige of restraint
may have held impetuous or immoral
officials in check.
The law as construed means by i'm.
plication, or perhaps it is by over
sight, that the state of Kentucky has
devised means of removing public
officials, but has defined nothing for
which an official may be removed, ex-
cept failure to discharge the duties of
Office.
If II is the law, we repeat. the Ken
lucky legislature should lose no time
in seeing that It is made more def
mite and comprehensive.
The people of Kentucky, nor of any
part of Kentucky, want their town.
county or district officers to think
that they can conduct themselves az
they please as men, without DANCE
of molestation as officials so long as
they discharge their duties as Off
cials. The principle is inconsistent
with the spirit and intent of our law
and can do nothing but work meal
culable harm in any state, county
or town where il is applied as law.

A decision of interest to policemen
was handed down by the supreme court
this morning in a case involving false
arrest at Moorhead. The court holds
that the municipality may properly re-
imburse the officer against whom a
Judgment had been secured for a mis-
taken arrest. Such reimbursements are
governed by charter provisions, how
ever, and the decision may thus not be
general in effect. The syllabus of the

RATES FROM N0RSK
PORTS ARE DOUBLED

Immigration from Norway and
Sweden is likely to come to a dead
stop for short time,' said a local
steamship company this morning, when
the announcement was received that
the rates between Scandinavian ports
and the United States have been almost
doubled, the $l8 rate having advanced
to $3.50.
The statistics recently published in
T he Journal showing that, while
the total immigration from Europe was
less in 1904 than in 1903, immigration
from Norway and Sweden was on the
increase, demonstrated that the low
rates had widespread influence.
1t is expected by the steamship au-
thorities that the decline in immigra,
tfon will be temporary, but it is not
likely that the high figures reported for
1904 among the Scandinavians will soon
be eQualed.

PARK BOARD MAY
FACE LITIGATION.
NEW ORDINANCES PROBABLY
WILL BE TESTED.
Property Owners Object to the Rule
that Trees Cannot Be Planted Out
side the Sidewalk Without Permis-
sion of the Board Most Popular
Trees Are Prohibited

Some interesting legal fights may re-
suit the coming spring from recent
amendments to the park ordinances.
Kicks are already beginning to
come in, and several persons have sig
nified their intention to test the ordi-
nances. ~ s
The courts have held that the park
board can control the trees planted out
side the sidewalk, and under this de-
clslon many changes have been made.
The one that occasions the most talk
is the new ordinance that requires the
property owner to get permission from
the park board when he wishes to
beautify his premises by planting trees
along the boulevard. Even with this
permission he cannot plant certain kinds
of trees and objections are frequent.
Boxelders and cottonwoods are pro-
hibited.
According to certain property owners,
the boxelder is the fastest growing Of
all the good shade trees, but the park
board says they are dirty and unfit as
well as fine homes for colonies of in
sects: The boxelder, however, is a
popular shade tree, especially in the
outlying districts, where new houses
are continually going up and the own
ers wish to grow trees as soon as posi-
BILE. Most Of the kicks come from the
suburban jewellers, and as some promise
to plant boxelders this spring the board
is looking for trouble.

PEOPLE, NOT VETERANS,
SHOULD ORDER PICTURE

~ heartily agree with Major G. B.
Heffelfnger that if the charge of the
First Minnesota at Gettysburg is to be
depicted among the mural decorations
at the state capitol it should come
about thru the people of the state, and
not thru the efforts of the survivors of
the First, said Judge William Lochren
%The first that I had heard of the
movements continued Judge Lochren,
twas in letter from George G. Squires,
now in New York, and former member
Of the bar in St. Paul. He spoke of
the artist Zogbaum. I also had an
other letter from Major Martin Magin-
mis-. of Helena, Mont, who was in the
charge, speaking Of the same artist. I
know nothing Of the artist, but believe
that if the work is to be done at all it
should be we'll done. There is no
reason that it should not be, as the
battlefield is still there and there are
many old soldiers who could point out
the exact position of the forces.
81 do not think that there has been
anything more than a discussion. The
First has been favorite regiment, and
if the people should decide to honor her
soldiers again, it would be. deeply APP;
preciated by the veterans. - ~'.@

TO EDUCATE SMOKERS

Affidavits from some twenty-five per-
sons who have eliminated smoke sue

in pamphlet form for distribution among
firms that are on the board g blacklist.
IF the hint contained in the pamphlet
is unheeded letters will be sent asking
for explanation. and when the final let
let is disregarded, legal proceedings
will be begun.
Dr.. P. N. Hall, health commissioner,
says DR.. Ohage Of St. Paul is back of ali
the stir; that he got into hot water when
trying to enforce the ST.. Paul ordi-
nance, and is now trying to drag the
Minneapolis office into the same tub.
He said further:

some time ago with a letter to the
"Improv ement league. He gave them to
understand that the ordinance was not
enforced as it should be-, but the crusade
that he hoped to set in motion did not
materialize This time he got the ear
of the real estate board and now he is
grinning UP his sleeve at the rumpus he
has started here
