JUDGE HOMER b. DIBELL

Some of the country newspapers,
taking their cue from the corporation
controlled city dailies, profess to be-
lieve that Judge Dibell of Duluth is
a creature Of the steel trust. There is
no more honorable, able, upright and
fearless judge on the bench of Min
nesota today than Homer 3. Dibell
of the 18th judicial district. Com
menting on the hars h and unjust
criticism that has been bestowed upon
the eminent Duluth jurist the ST..
Cloud Journal. Press truthfully re-
marks: se%
"Judge Dibell is one of those men
who has high patriotic conception
of his official position, and in his
decisions expounds the law without
fear or favor. He is jurist, and the
constitution and the statutes are his
guides in his decisions, and he
renders his decisions upon the issues
presented, and the personnel of the in
terested parties are never considered
by him.
"He is a student, and not poll
tician. He believes that the Office OF
judge should come as the free offering
of the citizens and should not be
sought as politicians usually strive
for Office. His record is clean, and
he would have added ability and
prestige to the supreme court of the
state.
"We are moved to do him this
simple justice, because he has been
maligned and misrepresented. No
judge in the commonwealth is more
worthy of the honor his friends
sought to bestow upon him. Now
that he is no longer subjected to
attack from those who had other in
terests or candidates to serve, we trust
that the state press will have the de-
cency to do justice to one of the ablest
and purest men in Minnesota. -

Z WARNING.

:
The 9Th Minnesota district has q
lesson coming to it that will not be
many years deferred. The fight made
against Judge Lewis by portion Of
that district, on behalf of the steel
trust, is just such<a lesson in coarse
politics as the state needs to warn it
Of what may be expected in the future,
unless it promptly and permanently
puts a quietus on such attempts to
control the judiciary, by eliminating
men who have the courage to decide
cases on their merits, as Judge Lewis
did the s'wide open" tax law. In
view of their desire Tor reapportion-
ment this Lewis matter was in ex-
tremely poor judgment. The rest of
the state will hardly favor reappor-
tionment, when the result will be but
to strengthen the hand of the steel
trust in the game of politics. Cannon

So long as we have men like Judge
Lands of Chicago on the bench we

along the line of dissolving the trusts.
From his recent ruling sustaining the

restraint of trade it is but reasonable
to conclude that he is in sympathy
with at least this particular trust.

& THE POSTAL SAYINGS LAW.

The POSTAL SAYINGS W.
The postal savings bank measure
has become q law. Upon its surface
the law appears to meet the public de-
mand, but time alone will of course
determine whether it's provisions come
up to anticipations.
It provides for the designation of
postoffices as savings repositories
and the opening of such repositories
is left to the discretion Of a board of
trustees consisting of the postmaster
general, secretary of the treasury and
attorney general-th may select
such Offices for the purpose as they
deem fit. The amount which any in
dividual may have on deposit is
limited to $500 and. while a person
may bank as small a sum as one
dollar, he or she cannot place more
than 500 in the bank in any one
month. Two per cent per annum in
terest will be paid depositors and the
withdrawal of funds will be permitted
at any time. The funds accumulated
in the postoffices are to be placed in
the national and state hanks whare
such postoffices are located, and these
banks will pay 214 per cent interest
thereon: Five per cent will, however,
be- held by the secretary of the
treasury as a reserve fund to insure
the safety of deposits.

Mile Laos County Schools.

Annual returns from the rural
schools are all in for the past year.
The term reports show good gain in
attendance over year ago. Twenty
six hundred and forty pupils are en-
TITLED 70 apportionment. Nine
hundred and seventy are credited to
Princeton and Milaca schools. Six
teen hundred and seventy are in the
rural schools. Two hundred and
seventy three in the county have not
attended the required 40 days and
have thus cut off about 81, 200 income
for the schools next year. The above
number is falling off from previous
years owing, perhaps, to the
provisions of the compulsory school
law, but it is far in excess of what it
should be.
Applications for state aid will be
made this year in about 80 schools,
possibly one or two more. School
boards are making every effort to i'm
prove conditions throughout the
county. Heating and ventilating,
and improvement of grounds are
among the noticeable improvements
during the last two years.
Nearly all the schools require first
and second grade teachers, thereby
putting districts in a position to get
state aid ranging from S1OO to $500
according to grade of school. Many
OF the teachers of the first grade have
been engaged to retain the same posi-
tions next year. This action on the
part of school boards in retaining
teachers is a sure index as to what
the schools must be next year.
One hundred and forty-four pupils
of the eighth grade in the country
schools took the high school board
examinations, and one hundred and
seven received certificates passing
them, should they choose to go on, to
the high school work.
Nearly the entire force of teachers
are away at summer school in st.
Cloud or at the university preparing
themselves for next falls work.
