Court REPORTS
TO Be OFFERED
AS EVIDENCE

Court records of Ramsey county fo
the term of district court in January
February and March, 1909, were in
troduced in evidence in the Cowar
impeachment case this morning to i'm
peach testimony offered by the prose
cution when Monroe Branchflower, d
Devils Lake pharmacist, was on the
witness stand, his evidence being to
the effect that one day during that
term he was in the court room in the
morning when CoWan came in, mount
ed the bench and adjourned court
without cause till the day following,
and being intoxicated at the time in
question. Branchflower was also wit
ness with reference to the drugstore
charges. Records indicate that during
the entire term Of court, either when
Judge Kneeshaw presided or when
Judge Cowan presided, there was no
adjournment of court except over holi-
days, and that full days busines was
transacted each and every regular
day of the term.
Herman Stenseth, clerk of court of
Ramsey county, was a witness through
which records of the court were placed
in evidence.
Mr.. Stenseth also showed that there
had been petition filed by attorneys
of Devils Lake asking that no June
term of court be held last year, but
that it be adjourned until November.
This was for the purpose of refuting
charges that Cowan had failed to hold
regular terms of court:
Witness was also asked if he was
able to tell how many cases had been
tried by Cowan in Ramsey county, but
the question was objected to, such OBJ
lection being sustained.
Then Mr.. Stenseth was asked If he
was able to tell how many blindpiggers
had been sentenced in Ramsey county,
and another objection was made and
sustained.
81 Think" replied Tracy Bangs, that
if we can show that Judge Cowan has
sentenced l04 blindpiggers in Ramsey
county during his term, that it is rele-
want to issue.'
And this manner of getting the rec
ord before the court brought forth a
good laugh all around.
Requests were made by several sena-
tors that Stenseth be allowed to an
swer question, but on roll call of SEN
ate only ten voted that way, twenty
seven being opposed, as follows:
For-Baker, Carter, Duncan, El-
lingson, Ganssle, Gronvold, Gunder-
son, Jacobson, Martin, Stevens and
Trimble.
Against-Allen, Bessesen, Cashel,
Davis, Elken, Garden, Hookway,
Johnson, Kretschmar, LaMoure,
Linde, Mcdowell, Mclean, Overson.
Plain, Ruzicka. Simpson, Steele Of
Stutsman, Steele of Renville, Talcott,
Turner, Wallin, Walton, WEIGH,
Whitcher, Williams and Young.
Next witness called was Chris. o.
son, farmer and banker Of Towner
county. testifying that he had never
seen Cowan drunk in a twenty-six year
acquaintance, and that he had seen
him very often. He also declared that
he had never heard of Cowan being
drunk till these proceedings were COM
menced. Several efforts were made by

There is no doubt that the former
governor of Wisconsin is right in his
contention and there is no doubt that
the management OF the international
Dairy Show, which will be held in
Milwaukee, October 10 to is, are
right in their contention that the COW
is the basis of the dairy industry.
Greater efforts than ever before have
been put forth and are being exer-
cised by the cattle breeders and dairy
farmers who have established the In
ternational show to make it show Of
1000 cows. That their efforts are to
be rewarded is already assured by the
large entry list of the leading speci-
mems Of all breeds.
While the COW will be the basis of
the International Dairy Show, no
branch Of the dairy industry will be
overlooked. Dairy machinery is an
essential Of such a SHOW and it will
be an important factor in the expo
sition. Machinery, in the dairy in
dustry, is time and labor saver and
a money saver. Every factor in the
machinery line that will economic
for the dairyman, the buttermaker,
the cheesemaker, the milk man, the
ice cream manufacturer and others in
the handling of dairy products, will
be shown. 1t will be comprehensive
show, an instructive show, but the
COW, thousand of them, will be the
foundation of the show
An appreciation of this fact and
purpose was given wide circulation
recently by one of the leading dairy
publications of the east.

"Those in charge of the Interna-
tional Dairy Show, to be held at the
Auditorium, Milwaukee, Wis, Oct
10th to 18th, are thoroughly con-
cfnced that the dairy COW is the ba-
sis OF profitable dairying; that she
should be given first place in dairy
shows rather than dairy machinery;
and that the success of the dairy show
should depend on the COW exhibit and
not be dependent on manufacturers
of dairy appliances.
1.-THE Practical Dairyman is in
thorough accord with these princi-
pies. We have repeatedly seen the
dairy cow relegated to the back
ground in dairy shows and the place
of honor given to the manufacturers.
Just as there can be no dairying
Eithout COWS, SO there can be no sue
cessful dairy show without pure bred
dairy cattle. So long as dairy shows
depend on the money paid by the
manufacturers of dairy appliances to
conduct their shows, SO long will
those shows be built on foundations
of sand. The principle is fundamen-
tally wrong"
1t is the desire of the management
to make the section devoted to cattle
a model from the point of sanitation
and cleanliness. This is important
in the interest of the cattle owners
and also from the viewpoint of the
public, as they wish them to carry
away the best impression regarding
dairy cattle and their surroundings
For this reason the exhibitors have
been requested to give their best at
tention to the appearance Of their
helpers, and the cleanliness and or
der of the cattle quarters, all of which
will tend to make the cattle depart
ment the one moot interesting and
pleasing to the public.
"The cow is the basis of the dairy
industry said q. A. Cannon, 5ocre-
tary and manager ct the Information
al show. She has been mans best
friend Upon the products of this
beneficent creature has been built
magnificent industry whose products
represent money value of over one
billion dollars annually 1t is high
ly fitting and proper, therefore, that
at a great show expository Of dairy
ing IN all it's forms, that the cow
should be placed foremost-that
at this great annual dairy show the
best in accomplishment should be
placed before the breeder, the dairy
farmer and the consuming public.
The cattle quarters in the Audito-
rum are ideal; clean, we'll lighted
and well ventilated. Under the SUI
perv1sion of Professor King, former
ly of the University of Wisconsin,
whose, reputation is foremost in the
dairy world as an authority on sani-
tatlon, sytem of forced ventilation
has been placed in the Auditorium
which will result in a continuous
change of air. The space available
for stalls is ample, and every care
will be exercised for the comfortable
and cleanly housing of the cattle. In
the main arena where the cattle judg-
ing ring is to be located there will
be room for 1 ,000 spectators to watch
the Judges pass upon the individual
COWS and bulls and the many great
herds of the United States and Can
ada that have been entered"
