has been revealed to show that
st. Elizabeth's is one OF the worst

best, a model for all the othe"s.
There is no doubt at all that old
soldiers have been very badly

day of reckoning, however. and 1t
is quite probable that great good

with horror when cruelty is devel-

The President has accepted an
invitation to deliver an address in
October at the dedication of the
new State Capitol Building at
Harrisburg, Pa. This address is
expected to be a most important
one for the Republican Party, for
it will come just before the Fall
elections, ano there bids fair to be
trouble in Pennsylvania, inasmuch
as the Democrats and Independ-
ents threaten to do all sorts of
things to the party in power.

Senator Morgan's bill providing for
a sea-level canal for the Isthmus, ex-
cept through Culebra. where he pro-
poses locks. was ordered laid on the
table by the Senate Committee on In
teroceanic Canals. Mr.. Morgan gave
notice that he would not accept the
verdict of the Committee, but would
urge the Senate TO take up the bill. The
action of the Committee is in accord
with its decision not to consider bill
determining the type of canal, but to
permit the President to proceed to the
construction of lock canal under the

Recent importations of macaroni,

by the Bureau of Chemistry of the
Agricultural Department show that
these goods sometimes contain chemical

In view of this fact, the Department

servative will be permitted after June

JUDGE BURKE
On the Qualifications! of Knauf.

If any man is competent to Judge the
ability of Judge Knauf as lawyer and
practitioner, it should be the judge of
the court before which he practices. In
this connection the following statement
from Judge Burke, of the fifth judicial
district, residing at Valley City, in
which district Judge Knauf has been
practicing for years, is worth thous-
and times more as proof of ability than
the political clamorings of a crowd of
lawyers and law students who do not
know the man. Judge Burke has au-
thorized the following statement:
"Yes, we have some seventy eight
lawyers in the Fifth district, and eight
are opposed 10 Knauf while over sixty
are actively supporting him. Knaufs
practice has been pretty much confined
to the Fifth district and the James
river valley counties. In Benson coun-
ty where he has practiced all but two of
the attorneys are for him. In Cakes
where he has practiced every attorney
is for him. In Bismarck and Dickinson
where he has had some practice every
attorney is for him except one.
Not bad record for an attorney from
my district is it? Knauf has practiced
before me since 1 have been on the
bench. He is hard fighter, a good
lawyer Of fine temperament, and in ev-
cry way qualified to sit on the supreme
bench. Grand Forks Times.

Dear Sir: l received one of
your circular letters signed by
yourself and another as Com
mittee on Funds In this you
say you have been appointed to
'solicit funds to defray expenses
in the interests OF Judge Fisk's
candidacy for the supreme
court" and you say, and truth
fully too, eve can add nothing
to what has already been said,
except, to make an effective cam
paign, considerable expense in
reaching the voters with litera-
ture, so as to call their attention
to the qualifications OF the two
aspirants for the office in ques-
ton will necessarily be incurred. .
How true your statement is: is
evidenced by what must have
been the cost Of such stuff as
your committees have been put.
ting out over the state.
Still again you say, "this bur
den (the expense) will have to be
borne by those who are interest
ed both directly and indirectly in
the personnel Of the supreme
court" So you would have
those "who are interested" buy
the way OF the supreme court?
We want to know! You say

The general practice lawyers
ought not to want you ''inter-
ested," railroad and corporation
attorneys of Fargo and Grand
Forks and your interested"
clients to name the supreme
court Judges. The Judges ought
not to be responsible to you, but
should be responsible to the peo-
pie of the great state. The ''rot"
your committee sends out. the
methods you adopt, all show
you think not so much OF the
purity Of the court, as you do
whether the ''court is right"
railroad men say Judge Knauf
does not ride on a railroad pass.
Can you say that OF your candi,
date?
1t is said that when you sent
Judge knauf a pass that he re-
turned it and likewise as to the
N. p. passes. Does this influ-
ence you and other railroad at
tOrneys against knauf? Is that
why you and "others interested"
desire his defeat? Are you Gin
fuenced??" l beg leave, there
fore, to refuse to send you "the
contribution" demanded and l
hope against your success. | am
told that you are a democrat, is
that true?
Now, I know Judge Knauf in
court and out, in his private and
public life, and know him to be
a frst-class lawyer. Your rot"
about Knauf not being qualified
is worthy Of the thoroughbred
politician in which art you seem
an adept though you are a great
railroad attorney. Knauf is quail
fed in point Of education, train
ing, age, temperament and char
acter to act on the supreme
bench. Yours truly,
