Princeton Union: There has been
a great deal OF talk about taking the
judiciary out of politics and nominal
ing men for the bench regardless OF
their political affiliations. The re-
publicans of the state are going to be
put to the test in this matter. There
is but one democratic judge on the
supreme bench at the present time,
Judge Thomas u. . Brien of st. Paul.
He was a prominent member of the
Ramsey county bar before Governor
johnson was elected governor. The
governor appointed him insurance
commissioner because at that time a
strong man was needed in that I'M
portant office. He became one OF the
most influential commissioners in the
country and was one OF Governor
Johnson's most influential advisers
during his three administrations, and
was the greatest moral and intellectual
force in it. He was high class
man, and when vacancy occurred in
the supreme court, Governor johnson
appointed him to that position, and it
was one of the most creditable ap-
pointments of his administration.
During the time he has served on the
bench he has served most credltabiy,
and IT the republican party has any
sense of the fitness of things, and any
, desire to do that which will commend
them to the people of the state, 1T Will
not pull the supreme court into
politics but will srerominote Judge
O'Brlen, Notwithstanding he was q

Springfield Republican: Justice
Lurton Is certainly appreciatlve OF
the presidents appointment of HIM
to the supreme court. He is quoted
as saying in an interview at
Cincinnati late last week that he
never saw Mr.. Taft "more cheerful,
more optimistic or more sure of him
self and the country" than when
he left Washington day or two
before. And he added: There is a
great and powerful wave of sentiment
now sweeping over the country in
favor of the president, and his
critics are rapidly being confused. l
am glad to be able to tell the people
of Cincinnati this It IS to be
feared that the Justice Is carrying
that wave of sentient around in his
own pocket. 1t is certainly not travel.
ing otherwise by ordinary railroad
routes, and it's sweep by other high.
ways of travel is not clearly dis
cernlble.

The comptroller of the currency says
national banks must curb their farm
loans. He says they are putting too
much into ''slow loans. We suppose
such loans as the Hefelfinger loans IN
Minneapolis, wherein both city and
county banks and individuals were
caught for large sums, were hardly
SLOW" loans. Their money went SO
fast and appears to have been
squandered in SO many ways that

more fast loans like those of

some strongly. and campaign in
that direction has come to successful
termination. The street is very wide
one, and it has been paved with brick
on both sides, and parked area
through the center has been developed
with lawns and shrubs.
The work was in the meantime ex-
tended to the school and library
grounds. where flowers, shrubs and
lawns were called upon to do their re-
spective parts This all led to a great
er interest in home grounds and de-
sire for suggestions as to how to de-
velop these successfully. A landscape
architect was called in to help, and
he spent several days going over the
home grounds and making suggestions
as to the best methods Of develop
ment.
One Of the results was that two car
loads of shrubs were ordered. and it Is
an easy inference that they were used
to good purpose.

The death of State Treasurer
Clarence G.. Dlnehart is so untimely,
coming just when he was apparently
on the threshold of brilliant and
promising career, that it profoundly
xrieves and shocks the people OF the
state. Mr.. Dinehart was only 81
years of age, and had achieved high
position at an early age. He had
many splendid traits OF character, was
always courteous. kind and genial,
and friends once made chung to him.
This very sad death will not only be
slow to his party and to the state, but
X, the thousands of young men who
looked on him with affection, and
found in his triumphs inspiration
and announcement.

Railroad Head Agree 70 With
. ]. draw Increased Rates.
GOVERNMENT \! 10. DROP SUIT
Injunction Now in Force viii
Be Dismissed.

Washington, June IA complete
agreement. between the government
and the recently enjoined railroads of
the Western Trunk Line association
was reached at White House con-
ference which lasted for more than
four hours.
The railroads represented agreed to
withdraw all rate increases filed, to
be effective on or after June 1, and
agreed to file no more increases until
the bill in congress, which gives the
Interstate commerce commission pow.
er to Investigate and suspend in
creases that are not justified. becomes
q law and goes into effect.
President Taft thereupon stated the
administrations purpose in bringing
the Injunction suit had been accom-.
plished and the suit would be discon.
tinued. The discontinuance will not
be entered, however, until after the
new railroad law is signed.
The belief was expressed that all
of the other railroads of the country
which have filed increased rates or.
have had such plan under considera-
ton will abide by the agreement
reached with the twenty-four railroads
named as defendants in the recent
suit.
There will be another conference at
the White House, in which President
Brown Of the New York Central rail-
road. President McCrea of the Penn
sylvania and other officials represent
ing railroads in the Eastern and Cen
trail territory will participate.
Will Not Increase Rates.
That they will acquiesce in Presi-
dent Taft's proposition and hold up
the proposed increases until after the
new law becomes effective is practical
~ taken for granted here.
Every one connected with the con-
ference seemed grati11ed over the out.
come. All that President Taft has de-
sired is that the interstate commerce
commission should have authority to
Investigate increases in rates to deter
mine whether or not they are justified
by prevailing conditions and are just
to the shippers. This power is to be
conferred under the new law.
The railroads, on the other hand, it
Is pointed out, are to be relieved Of
embarrassing litigation, are assured of
q square DEAF when their case is pre-
scented to the interstate commerce
commission, and are free to resume
the contracts for improvements and
extensions which they threatened to
cancel had the court proceedings con-
tinued.
The new railroad bill contains a
clause which gives it effect sixty days
after being signed by the president. It
will be necessary to make the provi-
sion as to the supervision of rates by
the interstate commerce commission
Immediately effective, and for this rea-
son, as President Taft indicated, it
will be necessary to send the bill TO
conference.
President Taft summoned Attorney
General Wickersham, Secretary of
State Knox, Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Nagel and Chairman Knapp
and Mr. Lane of the interstate COM
merce> commission to the conference.

E Well, / hear you say, :".They promise

And isn't your time worth more to
you than fritting it away in CORE

that IL its reply isn't satisfactory you
can't pack your hand grip and go and

Perhaps you say, Il can't get what

be so, but have you really tried? 1t
may be worth your while to 60 lit

ing at home. If Smith on the street

perhaps Brown, two squares away, has
it, or Robinson, quarter Of mile

it takes less time to try to get the
things you want at home than it does
to write for them and wait for them to
come from some city far away, doesn't
it?
think hear you say, tThe prices
at home are higher than they are in

sure that, quality for quality. the
prices are higher? And even If they
are slightly higher it is worth some
thing to you to buy at home and not
spend your time writing for goods
and waiting for them. Perhaps If you
and your friends who send so much
money away from home to the houses
far away were to patronize your
neighbor he could afford to put In
better and more varied stock and thus
give you more and better goods for
your money.
Then there are the other advantages
of buying at home-the helping Of
your neighbor who is struggling hard
to support himself and his family. the
helping to build up your home town
by keeping your money at home and
the return to yourself of part at least
of the money you spend at home.
Think it over, friend!

Springfield Republican: It IS worth
noting that the German government

of the parcels post, and charges for
the same weight increase according to
zone distances. Some plan of this
kind will have to be adopted in the
United States If an extended parcels
post is ever to find favor outside OF the
great trade centers which, on the
basis of transportation charges the
same for all distances, on retail orders

petition made out in 1904 asking that
q road be laid out south of town,
which was practically the route
covered by the road to Oakland
cemetery, and which was granted by
the county board, but as most of the
road mentioned is in the city limits,
where the county board had no
jurisdiction, the road was illegally
established. AS the several different
roads were used during the past years
and not any particular one for any

others that 1T had become a legal road
may not hold, and one will have to be

weeks issue on the probability OF

Lindbergh men for control of the Nor.
Tison county delegation to the state
convention, Congressman Lindbergh
has sent us the following letter, show.
ing his personal opinion in the matter
OF endorsement by conventions OF pub
BIC servants elected directly by the
people. It is as follows:
To The Herald:
I wish to state IN regard to the
eounty convention for the election OF
delegates, my own opinion IS that 1t is
not Wise for conventions to endorse
members of congress to the people Tor
reelection. NV reason tor this is that
members OF congress are nominated
and elected by the direct vote OF the
people, and delegates at county con-
7entions are selected at primaries for
the purpose OF nominating delegates
TO the state convention to nominate
state officers and to do other proper
business at the state convention. At
the primaries in selecting delegates
the voters know full we'll that there is
no question before them involving the
SELECTION of congressman and their
election of delegates ought not pe
encountered with that issue.
It would please me to see people 8
and not a boss delegation 90 to the
state convention, hut in no event is
my candidacy involved in the selec-
tion Of delegates to the county or
state convention.
While the ideas above stated are
those of Representative Lindbergh,
they do not seem to be those OF his
supporters, nor of those who claim to be
with him, but who would stick knife
into his political vitals at the least
opportunity. It is quite we'll known
