himself a progressive could be.

influential factor and he is agin
La Folletteism. The best La Fol-
lette could do in the Ninth would
be to make fight.
He couldn't today, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if he ever will be
able to carry the Seventh. There
are one or two papers crying for
him, but they are far from voicing
the sentiments of the vicinity in
which they are published. Volstead
is not La Toilette man though he
has progressive notions. 1t is doubt
full if five leading politicians Of the
district would give La Toilette their
support. The leading papers like
the News Messenger, the Minneota
Mascot, The Independent Press, the
Granite Falls Tribune and Journal,
The Morris Sun are none of them
backing La Toilette though none of
them is a stand patter.
In other words it will be dark
and dreary day when La Toilette

from the Ninth congressional dis

of the last house wrote to the Du-

It seems to me that your estimate
of the votes in favor of passing the
gross earnings tax bill at an extra
session is too conservative. For in
stance, my colleague, Alva Henion,
voted for the bill last winter and

more there are other members in
the same position he is, but did not
write you-no doubt result OF
oversight. 1t seems absolutely GER

would be promptly passed by the

if an extra session be called for that
purpose. Yours truly,

Carter News: Just because some
of the would.be bad men have been
taking advantage of the fact that Car
ter has no Jail and the city marshal
was unable TO Jail those who We're
disorderly, the town council in special
session last Tuesday morning, consid'
cred bids and let the contract for the
erection of a temporary building to
be used for that purpose, until the
time when the town will be able to
build a more substantial one, There
has been a great deal going on of
late on our streets which has not been
approved by the law abiding citizens
of our city, but owing to the fact that
we were not prepared to handle the
law breakers, the authorities were
forced to pass them up. But there is
an old saying, that when you give
them an inch they will take a yard,
and ii is because the offenders be-
came too strong that the board took
immediate action, and at this writing
Carter can boast of having a Jail. The
quick action of the board in this mat
ter should be appreciated by every
law abiding citizen in our town, as
the presence of the little building will
have a tendency to make the bad
men" good and will aid the marshal
materially in keeping order upon our
streets.

London, Jan. 9.-Those who have
recently been Boosting of the speed
with which English justice is dis
pensed can hardly point with pride
to the case of Peddar and Howard VS..
Woodward, which was resumed today
after having been hanging fire for
nearly six centuries.
The case was originally filed in
1348, during the reign of Edward IL,
and was brought by the Abbot of st.
Osyth, Essex, against Richard de
Maundeville, the point at issue being
the right of Richard to hold market
in Stowmarket. The abbot, as the
lord of the manor, alleged that Maun-
deville's grant was Illegally obtained
and sought to have it set aside. Maun-
deville went away to the wars in
France and claimed the kings pro-
lection during his absence, causing
the case to be adjourned. G. F. How
ard and c. N. Peddar are the modern
representatives of Maundeyille, and
they object to the right of the present
| day representative of the abbott, G..
| A. Woodward, to set up a rival mar
ket Extracts from the pleadings Of
the abbot and of Maundeville are ex-
pected to play an important part in
the hearing, which was resumed last
November, but almost Immediately
adjourned until today. At that time
the justice held that there was no
need for haste in deciding case
which had been continued for 563
