IIlE L.
District Court judges May
Quit After TwentyYears'
Service

h0proS00C8ClV0 ADAMS mas 1QCrO-
duced bill providing that when a
district court judge has been twenty
years on the bench, and attained the
age OF seventy, he may retire on half
pay:
at present who are seventy years or
more in age, as follows: Judge
Francis NJ. Crosby of the First dis
trict, who Is seventy nine; Judge
William G. Williston of the First
district, who is seventy; Judge
Thomas s. Buckham of the Fifth dis
trict. who is seventy Judge Luther l..
Baxter of the Seventh district. who is
seventy seven, and Judge Josiah D.
Ensign of the Eleventh district, who
is seveny.slx. It IS also believed that
Judge Gorham Powers of the Twelfth
district, would come within the pro-
visions of tho law, although his age ia
not given in the Legislative manual.
He was discharged from the army
forty five years ago, and it is surmised
that he IS near the seventy mark.
Chief Justice Charles NJ. Start of the
supreme court, is sixty nine years old,
being the Oldest of the judges of this
tribunal. Judge Arthur Fl. Snow Of
the Third district, IS in his sixty
ninth year.
Judge Williston of Red Wing has
been unable for some time past to
write an opinion, because of lnfirmity.
He has not drawn his salary as judge
for several years, because he could not
make the affidavit which the law pre-
cribtes, to the effect that he has dis
posed OF all of the cases which have
come before him for final adjudication
within a six months limit. He now
has $14, 735.06 tied up in the state
treasury.
Mr.. Adams argument in favor of
his bill, is that to permit Judges to
retire on half pay would increase the
amount OF business which the courts
could transact through more active
and younger men. When the aglta-
tion for a new judge In the Fifteenth
judicial district was before the house,
Mr.. Adams gave figures tending to
show that Wisconsin at the present
time has fewer judges than Minnesota,
although l1tigtion in that state IS just
as heavy as in this. He suggested
that the necessity of providing add1
t1on judges might be eliminated by
retiring some Of the present judges
and redistricting the state. His
present bill proposes to carry out one
Of the suggestions he made at that
time.

THINKS LINDBERGH WILL HAVE
FOURTEEN MORE ENEMIES.

st. Cloud Journal Press: There are
fifteen candidates for postmaster IN
Little Falls. A filing fee is required
to get their names on the ticket to be
voted, and as there are fourteen re-
publicans and one democrat in the
running it is almost certain that the
democrat will get the largest vote, and
then will be turned down. It is
very ridiculous proposition. Congress.
man Lindbergh will have at least
fourteen more enemies when he gets
through with this farce than he had
before he made his experiment. The
people of Little Falls have been
worked up into factions, and there is
much bitterness and at considerable
expenditure of time and money. But
1t has this merritt gives our enter
prising up-river neighbors something
to occupy their time while they are
waiting for the Armour plant.
