Judge PEBBLES created a genuine
sensation in New Hanover Superior
court last Saturday when he an
nounced from the bench that he
never expected to try another muir
der case in that county, and there
upon peremptorily removed the trial
of a murder case from that county
to an adjoining county. Judge
PEBBLES said it was no trouble to
pnck Jury in New Hanover county
so as to acquit the defendant, 10
matter what the charge might be.
That is bad for New Hanover, but in
this respect that county does not
stand alone. There are other good
counties in the State where juries
have been known to he packed in
this way, and the acquittal OF red
handed murderers thereby secured
without any trouble. If all the
Judges in the State would take the
same stand that Judge PEBBLES has
taken, and promptly remove imp0'-
tant cases from counties where jurie S
are known to he packed, it would no
doubt have n wholesome effect.

WILL SEND DELEGATION
Bemidji to be Represented at High
School Board Meeting.

At the meeting 4ofszthe Bemidji
Board of Education, held last even.
ing, it was decided that the board
should send a delegation to St. Paul
next Friday to attend the meeting of
the State High School Board, which
will be held in that city at that time.
The purpose of so sending dele.
cation is to try and induce the
board to give the Bemidji high
school one of the 20, $4,000 ap-
preparations for the aid of agricui-
tural departments in high schools
throughout the state, as was
authorized by the legislature now in
session.
The legislature of two years ago
allowed ten schools to be assisted in
this manner, and these ten have
made so much progress that it was
with a unanimous vote that the law
makers voted to establish 20 more
this year.
AS there were about IS applica-
tons from high schools throughout
the state for the 10 appropriations,
there is every reason to believe that
there will be about 200 applications
this year, on the face of the success
with which the departments have
met with. It is for this reason that
the school board has voted to send
a oelagation, and try and show the
state board that Bemidji is in earn
est in its endeavors to land the
state aid.
1t is expected that the COM
mercial club will also send dele.

addressed the legislature last Friday
he spoke against including the
judiciary in the recall and this is
said to have Influenced the senate in
deciding to omit the judges. A con-
ference committee has been appoint.
ed by each House to endeavor to
put the bill in shape for final pas
sage.
Because the Western Union Tele.
graph Company would not pay its
state taxes, suit was begun against it
several months ago and a victory
was won in the lower courts, but an
appeal was taken to the United
States supreme court Attorney
General Simpson yesterday sent a
communication to both Houses of
the legislature announcing that the
telegraph company had offered to
compromise, asking for authority to
effect such an agreement. The
House acted favorably with only one
member offering opposition, but in
the senate there was a lively tilt over
the idea of the state entering into
any compromise and none was
authorized.
The types have a way of juggling
themselves into aggravating con.
structions. An example is to be
found in the Pioneers reference to
Theodore Roosevelt's speech which
said his gestures while speaking
were of the rapidity and speed of a
prizefghter." Probably the reader
grasped the meaning but "rapidity
and speed is just a little too swift
for even the former president.
