FRANCIS NJ. CROSBY, THIRTY
EIGHT YEARS A JUDGE, CALLED
TO HIGHER COURT. ~
LEADER OF MINNESOTA BENCH
Had Served as Judge in First judicial
District for Many Years.
Was Native Of the
State of>Vermont.

Hastings. - Judge F. NJ. Crosby
presiding over the first judicial district
for thirty-eight years, a record with
out parallel in Minnesota, died sud-
denly at his home here at the age
ot 80 years.
While he had been indisposed sev-
eral days, his illness was not consid-
cred serious and his death was entire
ly unexpected and came as a shock to
the community.
At the fall election in 1871 Mr..
Crosby was elected judge of the first
judicial district and entered upon his
duties in January, 1872. He was re-
elected to the Office in 1873, 1884,
1890, 1896, 1902, and 1908. Prior to the
beginning of this long term of service
he was Judge Of probate for two years,
of Dakota county.
Judge Crosby was born in Whining
ton, VT, Nov 13, 1880, and was brought
up on farm in that town. He was
the son of Eliel Crosby and Thankful
Allen, who were of Massachusetts an
cestry. He was educated in the public
schools of Wilmington and at Mount
Cesar seminary at Swansey, N. H. He
taught school and represented Will
mington in the Vermont legislature in
1856 and 1856.
He studied law in the Offices of
Oscar l.. Shafter at Wilmington, and
Daniel Roberts at Manchester, VT, and
was admitted to the bar at Bennington,
VT, in December, 1855. He removed
to Hastings in 1853.
Descendant Of Men Of '76.
Judge Crosby was a lineal descend
ant Of Stephen Forbes and Ebenezer
Allen, Massachusetts, revolutionary sol.
diers, and was a former president Of
the Minnesota society Of the Sons Of
the American Revolution. He was
also a member of the Society of Co.
ionial Wars.
Judge 'Crosby's cast of mind and
clearness of apprehension were strik-
ingly displayed in his conduct Of cases
tried to a jury. His aim in these
cases was to dispense with everything
that might befog the jurors or dis
tract their attention from the issues
which they we're called upon to try.
His charge to the jury was generally
brief, concise and at the same time
exhaustive. A jury in Judge Crosby's
court seldom failed to understand the
charge or to re-enter the court for
further instructions.
Long and. Rare, Experience.
Judge Crosby was an upright and
impartial Judge and an eminent and
patriotic citizen. His ideals were ever
high, his influence with the bar and
laity of his district always toward the
upright, honest and impartial admin
istration of the law. He was firm
believer in the participation of the
citizen in the administration of the
law, both as a grand and as petit
juryman, and this conviction he forti-
fed by an experience at the bench and
bar not equaled in length of time by
any judge now living in the state.
A splendid physique, the legacy Of
a vigorous, right-living Vermont an
cestry, enabled him to bear lightly his
added years, and time, as it passed,
only added to the keenness Of his in
tellect and mellowed the good quail
ties of his mind and heart.

Roach'S Good Record.

jefferson City. During Cornelius
RoaCh's first years incumbenCy Of
the office OF secretVry of state, his
department has shown a revenue
producing ability far in excess Of
any previous year. The state de-
partment in business transacted has
broken all previous records. The
receipts have jumped from $142,
151.05 in 1908 to $296,584.85, or
154,43380 more this year than last.
The 1908 figures above given in
clude the receipts from banks and
trust companies, while the 1909
business does not, the license tax
and fees for that class of corpora
tons the past year going to the
credit of the bank department, now
separate.
In 1909, charters were granted to
1875 corporations but there are
1918 to the credit of 1909 The
foreign corporation license taxed
were increased the past year as the
result of Mr.. Roach's compelling
such companies as the Adams Ex-
press Company. the American Ex-
press Company and the United
States Express Company to procure
license to do business in the state,
and his Interpretation of the law re-
quiring companies like the Chi
cago Great Western Railroad to pay
a license tax af $2,436.5O instead of
the regulation $3.50 heretofore
collected. In 1909, notorial COM
mission fees were $10,4400C, just
100000 more than the proceeding
year. AS a result of the shaking
up given to automobile owners by
the state department. the receipts
from that source were nearly
doubled, increasing from $11,O23OO
in 1908 to $20,280.00 in 1909. To
have received in state revenue
funds more in one year than in the
last two years of his predecessors
administration is an accomplish
ment worthy of note and especially
gratifying to the people responsible
for the election of Secretary of State
Roach.

social and political equality be-
tween the white people and the
negroes, which mean the deStruc-
ton of the white mans civilization
in the south and the contamina-
ton of Caucasian blood. If Mr.
Taft's views on the race problem
should be carried out, the white
people would ultimately be forced
to leave the south. He stands for
imperialism which is violative of
the genius of our government. He
stands for usurpation of power by
the federal judiciary. In other
words he is the incarnation of the
extreme infamies of the Republican
party gilded with an innocent smile.
If Mr.. Taft is close to the people of
the SOUTH he is only close to them
to corrupt the integity of the white
race. to plumber by law the people
who toll, that the few pets of the
Republican party may grow richer
still. To do everything against
interests and nothing for their in
terests, is what he stands for in pol
itics. About the only thing he is
willing to give the southern people
is the sunlight of his trademark
smile and a few hot air compli-
ments. And with all that, l think
Taft is a much better man politi-
cally, much truerto his convictions
and closer to the southern people,
than Dickinson. Taft is what he
pretends to be. Dickinson is as
much of a Republican as Taft, and
pretends to be a Democrat. pre-
