great instruments in keeping them in
love of the truth.
The second purpose of the Sun
day school is to train men and
women and boys and girls for every
department of church work. Here
the leaders of the future are to be
found and developed. Every Sum-
day school teacher is an artist.
Jesus is the model, The bible is
the tool. Human nature, the plastic

the model, and in all this world
there is no more important work
than this.
There are five principal qualifca-
tions for this work.
First, the teacher as we'll as the
father or mother of the child must
know the great model, Jesus Christ.
1t is absolutely impossible to direct
anyone in the way of life unless we
know it ourselves.
The second qualification of the

Municipal Court Opened.

Bemidji's new municipal court
was opened at 9 o'clock this morn
ing, Judge H. w. Bailey presiding.
Mr.. Bailey declared the court
opened and read his appointment as
judge by Governor Johnson and
stated that he had appointed Charles
D. Fisk as his clerk.
Mr.. Bailey also stated that here
after, until further notice, court
would convene at 9 o'clock each
morning except Sundays and all
legal holidays. The clerks office,
for the present, will be in room 9
of the Mayo Block, and the judges
chambers will be at Mr.. Bailey's
residence, COS Minnesota avenue.
At II o'clock the court took a
recess until this afternoon.

teacher is to know the bible, because
it is the tool with which he is to
fashion the child in the image of the
model. Without this knowledge
nothing can be done. The teachers
must know the book and the great
characters whose lives are shown in
the book.
The third qualification of a teacher
is to know human nature, that he
may work effectually. This is the
most difficult part of the art of
teaching. In every line of business
in which men are engaged books are
studied and every effort made 10
acquire at least a good working
knowledge of the business. There
are many books published dealing
with child study and the develop,
ment of character and the tendency
of boys and girls at different ages,
and the Sunday school teacher should
have a working library of books, in
order to know how God would have
us deal with the children.
In order to fit the teachers for
the great work to which they are
called, bible study classes or normal
classes should be organized in each
school, one of which, consisting of
the officers and teachers of the
Sunday school with the older
pupils, should meet during the week,
and the other, consisting of those

physical conditions is concerned
the whole county team ought to be
in fine fettle.
1t is somewhat different with the
members of the city team. How
ever, Mayor Pogue has had a strenu-
Gus year of it and it is safe to
presume that his physical condition
is about right. However, City Attor-
ney Gibbons and Chief of Police
Knox are in condition that would
rival the prize porker at a county
fair, and they must needs take off
some of their averdupois if they wish
to play in Saturdays game.
President Gould, being the head
of the new lumber company, is
always in good condition.
City Clerk Maloy will probably
not play, but he will undoubtedly be
present to lend his usual moral sup
port to Mayor Pogue.
Judge A. Gilmour of Blackjack
has been engaged to have charge of
the Kangaroo court and the spec
tators are warned to be decorous or
there will be trouble with the punish
ment of prison staring them in the
| face.
The net proceeds of the game will
be devoted toward paying the
balance due on the Chief Bemidji
monument.
Everyone should attend the game
as it is for ''blud" and no quarter
will be given at any stage of the
proceedings.

Friday Evening.

Rev. Grant Stroh presided.
Song service led by Prof. M. g..
Martin.
Address by Mr.. A. M. Locker,
secretary of the Minnesota State
Sunday School Association. Subject:
The Training of Sunday School
Teachers"
The Sunday school is the church
study of the word of God, and is in
large measure the teaching agency
of the church. If it is ministered to
the church in this way, who are to
be the teachers of the church? The
Sunday school officers and teachers?
If so, they must be thoroughly pre-
pared for this great undertaking.
The two great purposes of the
Sunday school are as follows:
First purpose in Sunday school
work is to lead every child to Christ.
This is the highest ideal, and
requires the best thoughts and
preparation and devotion on the
part of the teacher, for the teachers
have to stand before their classes,
representing Christ to those who are
placed in their charge.
They have better opportunities to
influence the members of their
classes than any evangelist, for
they know their pupils and can help
them towards the kingdom, and are

be reached. What does the word
"APPRovED" mean as here used?
What is its legal significance? In
this construction and definition
lies the gist of this controversy,
and it is to this particular propo-
sition that purpose directing my
attention. 1t is a we'll settled rule
of statutory construction that a
Legislative act is always to be con-
sidered with reference to the pre-
existing body of law to which it IS
added and of which it is thence
forth to form a part. The inten-
ton of the legislature in enacting
particular statute is not to be
ascertained by Interpreting the
statute by itself alone, and accord
ing to the mere literal meaning of
its word. Every statute, must be
construed in connection with the
whole system of which it forms a
part and in the light of previous
statutes on the same subject, and
the Legislature is not to be lightly
presumed to have intended to in
troduce fundamental change in
long established principles of law.
! Robinson's Case, 131 Mass. 367.
Every new statute should be
considered in connection with
those already existing in relation
to the same subject matter, and all
should be made to harmonic and
stand together, if that can be done
by any fair and reasonable inter-
probation.
Crouch v. Hayes, 90 N. Y. 183.
In the light of this we'll known
and fully recognized principle OF
Interpretation it becomes neces-
sary to inquire what prior legisla-
ton there is, if any, bearing upon
the question at issue. This at
once brings us to the considera-
ton of the Charter under which
the city of Bem1dji exists and un-
der which the mayor derives his
powers, for municipal charter is
statute of the state and the or
ganic law of the corporation. In
furtherance of local self govern
ment and the right of the people
of particular communities to de-
termine for themselves their local
needs and necessities and the con-
duct of their own affairs, the leg
islature in 1903 passed statute
by which each local community
could, under certain limitations
and restrictions, frame their own
charters. By virtue of this legis-
latlve grant, namely, Chapter 238,
General laws of 1903, the inhabit-
ants of the then village of Bemidji
adopted a home rule charter which
became effective at midnight Ct
October 18TH, 1905. That Charter,
in so far as it pertains to the
powers and duties of the office OF
Mayor, is to be found in Chapter
III, sections one and two, and so
far as here pertinent reads as
follows:
"Section I. The mayor shall
be the chief magistrate of the city,
and shall be vested with and au.
thorized to exercise all powers
which may be conferred upon him
by the laws of the stare, or by this
"Section z. Every ordinance
or resolution of the city council
shall, before it takes effect, be
presented to the mayor for ap.
proval. If he approve it, he shall
sign the same, but if he disapprove
| 1t, he shall return it to the city
council with his objections thereto,

MEMORANDUM.

This is an order to show cause
why the city of Bemidji and its
officers should not be restrained
and enjoined from purchasing
supplies for the Municipal Court
of the city of Benaidji. The COM
plant, in substance, states that
the plaintiff IS tax payer of said
city; that said city attempted, by
resolution, to organize a Municipal
Court pursuant to the provisions
Of Chapter V. of the Revised Laws
of 1905; that the Mayor of said
city vetoed the same and that the
city council passed said resolution
over said veto by a unanimous
vote of it's entire body; and that
said council IS about to expend
money for supplies for said court.
To this complaint the City and its
officers demurred on the ground
that the complaint did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action. II. w. Bailey, the per-
son appointed by the Governor to
fill the office of Judge of the Mu-
nicipal Court created by the reso-
luton thus passed by the council,
interviewed in this action, and upon
the argument raised the question
that this is not proper proceed
ing in which to try title to office.
That position is conceded by the
plaintiff and is the undoubted law.
But the case goes far beyond this
in that the plaintiff seeks to call
in question the legality and valid
ity of the proceedings by which
the court was created, and upon
this latter ground I prefer to base
my opinion. The real question
then is, was the Municipal Court
of the city of Bemidji legally Gre
ated? In answering this question
regard must be given, not alone to
the general law under which the
council purported to act, but to
charter of the city of Bemidji as
we'll. -
Prior to the enactment of the
Revised Laws of 1905, which laws
became operative March 1st, 1906,
there was no general statutory
provision by which municipal
courts could be created, Such
Revised Laws, however, estab-
lished certain Municipal Courts
and provided for the organization
of the same IS follows:
Section 125. NEW COURTS,
HOW ESTABLISHED-A court
of record to be known as 1.-THE
Municipal Court of. ............"
is hereby established in and for
every city, and in and tor every
incorporated village which has or
shall have two thousand inhabit-
ants or more, in which city or vii
lage no municipal court shall exist
when the Revised Laws take ef-
feet; but no court thus established
shall be organized until the city or
village council SO determine by a
resolution, adopted by four-hfths
majority of it's members, AND APP
PROVED BY ITS MAYOR OR PRESIDENT,
providing suitable place for hold
ing it's sessions, prescribing the
number OF. judges and other ofic-
ials thereof, and fixing their COM
pensation."
1t was under the authority OF
this legislative enactment that the
council of the City of Bemidji
passed the resolution involved
herein and it is upon the construc-
ton of this statue-and especially
of the meaning of the words "AND
APPROVED BY ITS MAYoR"-that a
conclusion in the case at bar must
