From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Judge James H. Quinn of FairmOnt
today filed his decision in the manda-
mus proceeding of the state of Min
nesota ex rel Fred Kron, relator, VS.
John b. Hodapp, city recorder of the
city of Aankato.
The court finds as matters of fact
that on June 2, 1906, Lorin Cray and
wife made and executed contract
for deed for the property on North
Fourth street to be used for public
park purposes; that on Dec. 2, 1906
there fell due S24l.20, being the first
installment of interest on the note
that on May l, 1907, Judge Cray as
Fred Kron; that on May 3, 1907, the
council allowed the bill for the inter-
est, but the city recorder refused to
draw the order when requested to do
so by Mayor Andrews and Mr.. Kron
that on Sept. 2l, 1906, the council
made an assessment of $500 to be
raised by taxation for the purpose
of improving the premises described in
the contract.
As conclusions of law the court finds
that Mr.. Kron is entitled to a per-
emptory writ of mandamus command
ing Mr.. Hodapp to make, issue, coun-
tersign and deliver to Mr.. Kron an
order on the city treasurer for sea- 20
Mr.. Kron is also given his costs and
disbursements.
Mr.. Hodapp stated this afternoon
that he had not yet consulted his
attorneys, but that he thought that
the case would be appealed to the SUI
preme court. He said that he would
not draw the order pending further
proceedings.
Judge Cray today filed an order
denying the motion of the defendant
for an order setting aside judgment
and all subsequent proceedings and al
lowing the defendant to file and serve
his proposed answer and defend in the
action of Miller Brothers VS.. Anil
Kletschke. The court said that in
view of the plaintiffs affidatits he
thought the default of the defendant
not sufficiently explained.
In the same case the court grant
ed motion. by the plaintiff for an
order striking out the name of Amel
Kletschke in the papers in the pro-
ceedino and inserting the name En-
manuel Kletschke.

CHANGING SENTIMENT.

In this age of dynamic progress,
It is a compliment to a man to have
1t said that he has changed his mind
on political questions, Never before
in the history of the world were new
policies of state unfolding as rapidly
or as urgently as now. No man can
afford to stand still. He will soon
be left behind, will soon be out of
date. He must grow or stagnate.
Therefore. if men change their
politics in this day and age it is a
compliment to them. Democratic
principles Of today, specific demo-
cratic doctrines are not like those of
half a century ago. The country has
completely changed in political and
industrial life and entirely new issues
are before the people,
The republlcanism of Grant and
Garfield has been outgrown. Their
doctrines were good in their day and
were necessary, but national unfold
ment, race progression, has made a
new set Of doctrines new code Of
political faith necessary and conse-
quently Theodore Roosevelts policies
while essentially republican, are not
like those of so years ago, in detail.
Party names are nothing. The es-
sential doctrines which effect the
people as they make progress, are
the only standards. oregon, although
a republican state, has adopted prin-
clples which republicans would have
and did scorn. as populistic 10 years
ago. But progress has made them
necessary and the entire citizenship
Of Oregon has changed its sentiment
and will continue to change.
It is not coplimentary to a man to
have it said that he has not changed
or that he will never change. The
world will soon leave him behind. The
marvellous Industrial development Of
the country has made a new govern
ment policy necessary and new set
Of ideas and sentiments must be
adopted to meet this growth.
The parties Of today will soon be
forgotten. Even now the disintegra-
ton is IN progress. The people are
dividing and reuniting on entirely diff
ferent lines from those which have
marked the borders Of democratic and
republican parties heretofore. The
change is going on everywhere. Your
neighbor has changed his mind; you
are not what you were two, three,
four years ago. 1t is in the very air.
