Devils Lake Jurist Must Stand Trial
Before Senate-So Says the Hovoo
by Vote Of 81 to IS, When Matter
was Reconsidered.

BY vote Of Ga to IS, the house q
representatives in reconsidering tho
Judge Cowan matter, decided that 10
should be given a trial before the
senate. In other words, Judge Cow.
an has been impeached, tho he is not
necessarily guilty. 1t will be up to
the senate to dertimine that. The
matter cannot come before the senate
before twenty days, and during the
meantime, there will be some lively
skirmishing. j
When the house last Friday - Q
vote OF 55 to 45 decided to accept To
majority report Of the inveetigatang
committee, thereby vindicatinS Judge
Cowan, without submitting any ~
dence before that body, a great howl
went up in all parts Of the stats.
Protest meetings were hold and poet
tions we're sent to the members Of the
legislature at once. Public seutt-
ment clamored for a fair trial for tho
Judge, even tho the house had viuA1-
Gated Cowan. The house virtually
was impeached by the public, and
when Representative Ployhar Of Val
ley City introduced resolutio1s pro-
viding for reviewing the evidence that
had been presented before tho CON-
mittee, fight ensued on the floor Of
the house such as the state never cav
before. Cowan's friends grew elo-
quent in his defense and declared thst
it was nothing more or less than ~
insurgent movement.
Chairman Jordal of the investiGat-
ing committee gave a long review o1
the evidence that had been submitted
The evidence given by a number a
attorneys including Greenleaf and Lo
sueur of Minot tended to show that
Judge Cowan had long delayed the
decision of number of cases. 4
deposition of Nellie schults of Ruaby
was read, in which Judge Cowan was
accused Of insulting her, in January
1909. AS it had been learned that
the Judge was not in Rugby In Jan
uary, but in June, somebody had made
an erasure and q correction. ArD.
Schultz had asked that the deposit5o1
be not read.
Entering upon the testimony Of tho
defense, Chairman Jorda1 gave Cow-
ans explanation of a number Of the
charges against him. He had denied
insulting Nellie Schultz. Concernin0
the alleged drunken row in which he
was said to have participated at
Hansboro, he said that he was not
drunk, but that he had met a boy.

ling match, his shirt had been torn

A committee of three of Minots
prominent ladies, selected from
large number of those who inspected
the hospital Monday, waited upon the
county commissioners Tuesday mora'
ing, and presented a petition asking
that Miss Windell be retained az ma
tron, until such time as the hospdtal
WILL be closed. Resolutions were also
presented to the commissioners which
owing to their nature, were OF utmost
importance. The commissioners are
sald to have received the committee
In . very courteous manner. and while

declared that they would Givs their

The committee who waited upon
the commissioners consisted Of Mrs.
Carr, Mrs. Goss and Mrs. Storey
They tried in vain to get the com
missioners to give them some real
reason why Miss Windell had been
discharged, and the modern Portias
plead their case as only women can.
For more than a hour Jens eyed one
spot on the table and once or twice
he weakly tried to defend the action
Of the board. He remarked that II
Miss Windell was . lady she would
have resigned, inasmuch as the COM
missioners, whose power is supposed
TO be supreme, asked it. Mrs. Goss
quickly challenged Glein by making
tho statement that Miss Windell cer-
tainly was lady.
Mrs. Carr said the ladies would b

commissioners had to find with Aiss

there would be charges enough. but

Mr.. Ryerson admitted that the
commissioners we're only human and
no doubt had made mistakes where

Miss Windell was quite human, also.
One of the commissioners states
that their action in closing the hos
pital was based upon economy for the
county, but failed to explain why the
board had not considered such thing
before, and only resorted to this &C.
ton when they saw that the public
Was not going to sit idly by and let
them remove q capable matron for one

The session was extremely inter

what good big hornets nest has

people who will develop the land
and be producers of what the peo-
pie in the city consume, while the
latter become consumers of the pro-
ducts of the city's industries. They
realize that in the reconstruction of
our social fabric we must recognize
our interdependence.
Applying the principles alluded to
locally, many of the people of Balti-
more are waking to the facts. They
are studying the conditions, and
have started movement to dis
count the future. Baltimore has
many factories, and is great trade
center; but it needs more industries
to keep employed it's growing popu-
lation. 1t must take care of its
market, and extend it. To ac-
complish this requires wise legisla-
ton, active cooperation of it's citi-
zens in an organized way, and lot
of trade evangelizing.
The South is, primarily, Balti-
more 'Nsesade territory. But in the

jobbin Aouses, while other North
ern ciCrSs are sending their emissar-
les TO seduce trade away from Bal
timore to themselves.
Business is largely built upon
mutual confidence growing out OF
acquaintanceship. A new genera
ton and new people who have but
a hazy knowledge of Baltimore are
filling her claimed trade territory
the Southern States-and her own
cities are assiduously cultivatins ac-
quaintanceship in that territory.
If Baltimore would hold her own
in a trade way in her accredited
territory, she must get busy. She
must cultivate the acquaintanceshlp
of the business men OF the South.
She must treat the communities nt
the South IN the same way that a
successful mercantile establishment
treats its potential customers at
home to build up patronage. Baltl-
more's business men must visit the
people in her trade territory and
get acquainted and establish conf
dence between seller and patron.
While doing this, the country at
home must not be neglected. Mea-
sures must be taken for establish
ing a better mutual understanding
between the people of the counties
and of the city. In this connection,
the Associated Boards of Trade OF
Maryland is doing an invaluable
work; and Maryland Week will ac,
complish wonders. We can make
our own community prosperous by
teamwork. The Greater Baltimore
Committee has been organized fol
the promotion of this kind of work.

Ice Cream For All Occasions.

winter months the Farms made reg

weather has come again these ship
ments have increased tremendously
Middletown Farms have demonstra
ted that they can make a splendid

New York, May 31.-Henry M. Mac
Cracken, chancellor emeritus of New
York university, who has returned al
ter a years tour OF the Far East, mas
this to say of the public schools in the
Philippines:
The schools there are in good
shape and follow closely the lines
adopted in Japan. In India the educa-
tional system is not so good. Children
between the ages of seven and twelve
years there have but little opportunity
to learn, whereas in Japan education
is compulsory at that age. Compulsory
education will, | believe, soon be
adopted in the Philippines
The doctor said that the unrest
among the people in India was very
marked, and there seems to be a
strong undercurrent OF hostility &c

LEE A CANDIDATE.
Montgomery Senator Expected to
Announce His Candidacy in a
Few Days.

Wa.Aiuie. May 29.-Blair Lee,
Of Montgomery, will be candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Maryland. This is GER
tain. He wishes to prepare a for
NAL announcement of his candidacy
and this he has not done.
He believes that the time inter-
vening before the date of the pri-
maries is none too long for direct
appeal to the voters from one end
of the State to the other, SO the
announcement can be expected in
a few days, not later than Wednes-
day, in fact, for then legal matter
will occupy his attention.
Mr.. Lee has been twice elected
as State Senator from Montgomery.
He had passed the direct primary
law for his county and later led in
the fight to extend the said law to
all the counties of Maryland. This
is the Lee primary election law un-
der which the contest for all nomi-
nations will be made in the coming
primary contest.
That this law should be made ef-
fective and that it's provisions are
operative is the firm belief of Sen
ator Lee, and he feels that it is
<'up to him" in measure to prove
that the law is good one from
every point of view.
This fact cannot be assured un-
less there is a Statewide contest
and Senator Lee is determined to
make it. He recognizes that there
are other issues in the fight; but
the basic principle of all, in his
opinion, is the demonstration of the
fact that the people can rule,if they
will, and the direct law for voting
gives them the opportunity.
'sThat the direct primary law does
not interfere with intelligent leader
ship when it is responsive to the
will of the people is proved" he
said, ''by the results in Montgom-
", where it was first tried out.

Pesccee Again PreVei|s.

The departure from this city of
representatives of labor organiza-
tions seems to indicate that the ef-
fort to create strife among the en-
ployees of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road has been abandoned. for the
present at least This will be well
come news to our citizens generally,
and particularly to the thousands OF
shopmen who have been annoyed by
the activities Of these gentlemen
The feeling of unrest WI :ch has pre-
vailed for several weeks ought to
be speedily superseded by the calm
and contentment which are charac-
teristic of the community and which
were the principal preventive of
the conditions which organizers SOU
ght to establish.
When the actual situation was dis
closed to workingmen, who made an
investigation divorced from the
wild and irresponsible statements of
those who had everything to gain
by exaggeration, the bottom fell out
of the agitation. 1t doubtless was
a sore disappointment to working
men who have been induced to leave
their employment, upon the assur-
ance of organizers that the small
army of Altoona shopmen were in
revolt and were awaiting tho word
to precipitate a strike, to learn that
they had been deceived. They found
that conditions here were actually
as they have been stated by the
Altoona newspapers-that the orga-
nizers were making no impression
and that a strike was at no time
imminent.
The extent of the disturbance In
other districts has been consistently
misrepresented by the gentlemen
who have endeavored to SOW seeds
of discord here, a fact which is now
apparent to those who were deceiv-
ed and believed that our papers
were not telling the truth. Moth
ing is gained by eXaggerating or
minimizing the extent CT industrial
warfare. Those papers who publish,
ed sensational stories of the extent
of the strike accepted their 1nfor-
nation from sources which were in
terested in having it appear thai
/ disaffection was widespread, because
of the moral effect Of such false
statements.
! 1t is a matter of qualification tha
Altoona workingmen have remained
loyal to their home town. They
fully realize what it would mean t.
accept the advice of strangers who
have no real sympathy for then!
and whose only interest was TO use
them as catspaws to pull chestnut:
which become too warm to handla
Under the circumstances which have
attended this agitation, strike il
this city would have been & blow
from which we would not have re
covered in years. Everybody Woult
have been adversely affected, ant
Altoona's progress, in which all o
us are vitality interested, would b.
at an end. Bitterness, priVatlol
and innumerable failures would hav
been the harvest had the organic
