New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-07-10

Among the babel of Fourth of July
oratory was heard the clarion voice
of Joseph Folk, reformer, democrat,
governor and presidential possibility,
crying aloud for the conservation of
the powers of the state. Governor
Folk views with alarm the growing
tendency toward Capitalization which
is stripping the states Of their powers.
The facility with which state legisla-
ton is blocked and rendered futile, by
the benumbing application of federal
court injunctions, arouses Governor
Folks indignant remonstrance. It has
come to the point, as he shows, that
states pass laws which are perfectly
valid and are prevented from even be-
ginning to enforce them. Some federal
judge is prevailed upon to step in with
an Injunction and the new law is hung
up high and dry for several pro6tless
years of litigation. In the end, it may
be declared perfectly constitutional,

eighty and state rights, but he brings
the doctrine down to date and applies
it to present conditions and present
problems. The states, he believes, are
the legal experiment stations where
the great problems of the moment, like
those in which the railroads figure,
are tried out. The fatal facility with
which state legislation directed against
the railroads is nullified by the feder.
al injunction process has certainly re.
suited in much popular irritation. II
the federal government was prepared
to step in and exercise complete regu.
j lative control over railroad evils, this
irritation would be allayed. But the
federal power is invoked to battle state

Rev. Esper, Catholic clergyman,
at ST. Joseph, Michigan, is decided
enemy to the "Teddy BEAR" In a
sermon on Sunday he denounced the
'sstuffed monstrosity" in scathing
terms. For example,:
Grace suicide, the gravest danger
which confronts this nation today, is
being fostered and encouraged by the
fad for supplanting the good old dolls
of our childhood with the horrible
monstrosity known as the Teddy
bear.
"The very instincts of motherhood
in growing girl are biunted and
often-times destroyed if the child is
allowed to lavish upon an unnatural
toy of this character the loving care
which is so beautiful when bestowed
upon a doll representing a helpless
infant.
"No more disgusting sight has ever
come to my eyes than is presented by
this spectacle of little girl fondling,
caressing, and even kissing these
psuedo animals. tits sham upon he
American people that it will suffer the
development of the instinct of mother
hood in its future women to be arrested
for fad for these bundles of horrid-
ness, the most harmful and repulsive
nature fakirs ever perpetrated. -

Official Paper of New Ulm.

With surplus of $3.50, 100000 and an
available cash balance of 1885, 900, 900
in the treasury, Representative Taw-
ney, of Minnesota, sounds the right
note when he says that/it is nearly
time to ease the load of tariff taxation
which the people of this country are
carrying.
AS chairman of the house committee
on appropriations in the last congress,
Mr.. Tawney knows that the govern
ment does not need all the money
which this tsp-heavy tariff brings in.
He knows that an excess of money in
any treasury, state or national, is a
temptation to extravaganza and
breeder of corruption among the law
makers.
He knows, moreover, as does former
Senator Mason, of Illinois, that the
authors of the Dingley act never in
tended that the American people
should be burdened as they are by the
Onerous schedules of the act, but that
these schedules should be modified by
reciprocity treaties with such countries
as would admit our products on
favorable terms to their markets.
But why should Mr.. Tawney post
pone the day of relief until after the
presidential election? It may be true
that TEMPORARY disturbances of bust
ness which might attend a readjust.
ment of prices following reduction
of tariff rates would not help the party
in the election. But justice to the
public should be higher law than
party expediency, and in the politics
of this country it has generally been
found expedient not too long to post
pone the correction of known wrongs.

IN THE FEDERAL COURT.
Number Of Cases Disposed Of-SOn
Takes All The Blame.

| 4%a# AunSo mas iuC uiuihGs
In the Federal court, which is
in session in Raleigh this week,
many cases from Durham is be-
ing heard. Among them are the
follosing:
Sol. Webb, a negro who lived
in East Durham, was given one
year in the federal prison for
selling whiskey in violation of
the federal laws. He was not
cons dered such a bad negro and
few thought that he was a reg
ular, blind tiger" yet when his
case came up the evidence was
such that he was convicted and
sentenced to the prison in Allan
ia. II
Eugene Dorsett a white man,
son of Newton Dorset, goes to
the county Jail for six months.
Dorsett entered a plea of guilty,
saying that he was the one to be
punished if there should be pun
ishment in the case. Back of all
this is a story that shows loyalty
and devotion, even in crime. The
federal authorities found an illi-
cit distillery on the plantation of
old man Newton Dorset and
some of the stuff used was found
in the home of John Dorsett, his
son. Eugene was connected
with the matter and all three
men were arrested. When it
came to a show down Eugene
admitted that he was guilty
that he alone was responsible for
the plant-in this getting him.
self into certain trouble and yet
giving his father and brother a
fighting chance to get out of the
chaige. The case against the
other two defendants was set for
trial Tuesday but was not called
for some reason. Newton Dor
sett, the senior of this trio, was
in Raleigh with his attorney, r.
o. Everett, and the two came
back on the afternoon train. The
case will not be taken up until
after the holidays.
Dan Marsh, colored a youth of
a negro who is known about the
town and especially in police
circles, as Long Boy" was
tried on the charge of imperson-
ating a federal officer. He vas
convicted and goes to the Atlanta
penitentiary for a year and a day.
Dan went to a negro man and
made him believe that he was a
federal officer and secured from
him a small sum of money, this,
as ne said, in order to give him
protection. or rather not to have
him pulled. The negro thought
that the young negro was really
an officer and when Marsh placed
his hands on him and told him to
come along" the old man secur-
ed what little cash. he had ard
paid it over.
Marsh was first arraigned in
the state superior court on the
charge of getting money under
false pretense or something of
that kind. and was discharged.
Then he. fell into the hands of
the revenue officers and he now
finds himself on the way to At
lanta. Marsh has been in all
kinds of trouble here, spending
of his time on the
roads Of the county.

TWO COURTS FOR JANUARY.
The First a Criminal Term and Then
Two Weeks a Civil Court.

Z "a u i
There will be two terms OF
court held in this county during
the month of January. The first
court, which will be a one week
term and will convene on Jan.
uary 6, will be for the trial OF
criminal cases. The second term,
which will be for two weeks. will
convene on January 20, and will
be for the trial of civil cases.
Judge James l.. Webb; f Shell.
by, the twelfth judicial district,
will be on the bench at both
terms of court, this being his
first official visit to the city. He
has been on the bench for some
time and is just now reaching
this part of this district. He
has the reputation of being a
very fine judge.
The docket for the criminal
term of court is now being made
out in the office of Clerk of Court
c. B. Green. His assistant,
Sneed Sasser, is getting every
thing in regard to the docket in
shape so that there will be no
hitch when the time come. 1t
looks now as If there will be a
very large docket: this partially
on account Of the fact that such
such a large number of cases
we're continued from the past
term Of court. Then the docket
was crowded as never before
and to add to this Judge Cooke
was called home on account of
the dying condition of his son.
As a matter Of fact. a large num-
Der Of cases had to be continued
from that term. These are now
on the docket Of this term and
added are the many warrant
cases that have been sent up by
mayor and magistrates. Ii is
more than probable that all of
the time of the court will be TAX
en- in the trial of the cases to be
heard. and then that the docket
will not be cleared.
The civil term viii convene on
the 10Th of January. While there
is a large docket it is thought
that practically all of the work
that viii be disposed of during
the two weeks that Judge Webb
will hold the court here. There
are a number Of important eases
on docket. but as the calender
has not been arranged a. yet it
is not known which of the cases
will be ready for trial. IL is safe
to say, however. that the court
will be one Of interest.
The following jurors have been
drawn for the criminal term of
court, which convenes on Jan
uary 6. from one week:

ago became convinced that the
