The St. Cloud Journal-Press
(republican) seems to be inclined
towards the idea of government
ownership of railroads, Judging
from the following clippings
from last weeks issue:
1.-THE United States took hold
of the big canal after individual
efforts had failed. The United
States can build tracks enough
to do the business of the
country, if the railroads cannot.
One thing is sure-the people OF
this country will not long con
tinue to raise crops and let them
go to waste. in the streets be.
cause they cannot be hauled tc
market. 1t is up to the rail
roads to get busy.
The letter of James J. Hill &c
John A. johnson is the most
potent argument for government
ownership of railroads present
ed to the public by any man.

Up to the LEGISLATURE.

Gov. Johnson's message "passing
it back" to the house on county option
was about what was to be expected of
him. The Gates resolution was ap-
parently designed to put the governor
in a hole, and the governor refused to
jump in. The house is now in the hole
itself. 1t has opened the subject of
county option and inasmuch as it is a
legislative question first it will have
either to tackle the subject or confess
that it is unprepared to deal with an
important question. There can be no
doubt that if constitutional and
workable county option bill reaches
Governor Johnson he will sign it.
Will the legislature supply such a
bill?-Minneapolis Journal.

JANUARY TERM SHORT
District Court Session Will Be Brief
Petit Jury Did Not Have Case
Ready for Trial This Week.

The January term of the District
court promises to be brief one, from
the standpoint of civil cases at any
rate. With three cases appealed from
lower courts, there were thirteen cases
on the civil calendar, none of which
were ready for trial this week. Judge
Qvale therefore dismissed the petit
jury until next Monday morning.
Among the cases not dismissed or
stricken off were the following:
A J. Ekander and O. Barnstad vs..
W. T. Markhus, ct ALTO be tried be-
fore Judge Powers in March without a
jury. This is case growing out Of
the municipal trouble at Willmar a
few years ago. The plaintiffs as
bondsmen for the city recorder settled
with the city officials for the shortage.
They now allege that members of the
finance committee and others knew of
the shortage but did not take such
action as they should have done in
the matter, and therefore they seek to
recover the amount paid as bonds
men by reason of such neglect.
Frank Krupke vs.. G. Wendtlandt,
case growing out of overflow caused
by ditching, will be tried out of term
in April on ten days notice.
Ed. Olson VS.. Joseph Pdlkrabek is
case appealed from Justice Smith S
court at Raymond. 1t will be tried by
the court.
Chas. BOSNIAN vs.. J. E. Pulkrabek
is a case appealed from Justice Abra.
hamson's court at Raymond, and will
be tried by jury.
O. r. Smith VS.. Louis N. Smith is a
