of Virginia, Minnesota was organiz-

about twelve years ago in the city
of Waseca tor establishing a Rest
Room for farmers wives. This Rest
Room was the first of it's kind in
this country, and has been in active
operation ever since it's organiza-

1t is safe to say that the duty OF
maintaining the general level of

WISH JURISDICTION RAISED
Municipal Judges Consider Many Questions
Of Mutual Concern al Meeting on
Wednesday.

At the meeting of the Association
of Municipal Judges held in Judge
Carey's court on Wednesday many
matters of not only mutual interest
but of interest to range residents
were discussed, with the result that
the coming session of the legisla-
ture will have before it the draft of
several new bills and amendments
to others.
Those in attendance at the meet
ing were Judge Prince, of Eveleth.
president of the Association, Judge
B. w. Freeman, of Chisholm, vice
president, Judge Thos. +. Brady, of
Hibbing, secretary, and Judge
James P. Carey, of this city, treas
urer, Judges Jury, of Ely. and Fuller,
of Tower, being detained from at
tendance by pressing business.
One of the matters before the
body was the formula tion of a bill
increasing the jurisdict1oa of num-
icipal judges from $500 to $1,000; a
bill to have uniform practice in
all municipal courts; bill permit
ting change of venue from the
court in Duluth to the nearest court
on the ranges, and permitting a
change from one court to another
nearest where the defendant may
live.
They will also RECOMMEND the
changing of the laws giving the
municipal courts jurisdiction over
all minors under II years of age.
considering the Judges in the vari.
Gus localities know more about the
cases in their different localities
than do the judges of the district
court at Duluth. Such a change
would also save much expense to
parents and guardians in the neces.
sary taking to Duluth of witnesses.
Another topic discussed was the
prevention instead of the punish
ment of crime, and to look more
carefully into the eantecedents of the
various "drunks" brought before
the bar of justice.
These various topics, looking to
the betterment of court service and
to the elimination OF expense of
court procedures, will be more fully
discussed at the next meeting of
