Vote for Good Roads.

Voters of Bemidji are urged to
vote for the amendment which is
the first one on the pink ballot which
will be handed out November 5.
Each of the other amendments is
worthy of serious consideration but
as there exists a difference of opin-
ion on their advisability, they are
not included in the recommendation
of the first.
The Dunn amendment is most i'm
.portant to Northern Minnesota and
those behind it have but one fear
that many will fail to vote either for
or against. Under the present state
law, vote neither way is a vote
against. If you don't want good roads
SAY so; if you do, mark an x after
yves" on the ballot. At any rate
keep off the fence

Good State Officials.

With but one exception, that of
Sam Y. Gordon, all of the present
state officials which ran in the pri-
maries were nominated. The rea-
son is apparent. They have made
good and the voters of the state are
too wise to turn out efficient offici-
ais. A business man who would dis
charge a good employee simply to
make room for an inexperienced man
who wanted the job would not last
long.
So it is with the state Governor
Eberart was nominated by good plu-
rality and received thiry-eight per
cent of the total vote in a field of
i've candidates. He will be re-elect-
ed and has promised to continue his
administration as one for the entire
state and not one section or interest.
Right down the ballot line, the
voter can find efficient men on the
Republican ticket. They have been
efficient in their several offices and
are not only entitled to reelection,
but the state cannot afford to lose
their experience.
Julius. Schmahl has conducted his
Office of secretary of state in such
manner that those who have had
business with him have marveled at
the rapidly with which their mat
tiers have been handled. The extra
session has made much extra work,
but the office force has been handled
to care for it. His long experience
with the corporations and corpora
tion laws makes him a man the state
needs in it's service.
Walter ]. Smith is a banker by
profession and so we'll versed in
money matters. The business of his
Office has grown from $2S6,900 in
1858 to $15,SO5,3O0 in the fiscal
year just closed An inexperienced
man cannot handle this amount of
business as it should be and a change
at this time is unnecessary.
The same may be said to Lyndon
A. Smith, present attorney general,
and Judge Mills and Charles Elm
quist, railroad and warehouse COM
missioners who are up for reelection.
General Smith has been discussed in
these columns before. Bemidji has
good cause to favor Mills and Elm
quist for had they not insisted, the
Nymore paving would have been put
off for some time to come.
The present state officials received
the O. K. of the party at the pri-
mary. They have made good and
will be returned November S by a
good plurality.

Atlanta March 12.-The democratic electorate of Georgia will express it's choice for President at presidential preference primary on May l, the date set by the state democratic executive committee al meeting held here to- day A plan for conducting the pri- mary and consolidating the returns also was adopted by the committee.

JURY MUST DECIDE
 THE PACKERS CASE
Judge Carpenter Refuses to Take Case From
 Jury

Chicago. March 12-Unlted States Dis trict Judge Carpenter today refused to take from the jury the case of the 10 packers charged with violating the federal law. and discharge the defendants. The effect of the ruling Is that the jury will decide whether the defendants are guilty or innocent.
 '"fhe arguments of the defendants counsel involved dissection of the evil dence as a basis" says Judge Carpenter. "In my view this is not sound in a charge Of conspiracy depending upon circumstan- tial evidence Taken apart, any compl- cated machine is harmless and useful only as junk. Assemble the parts and you may have powerful device to accomplish the design of it's makers"
 Tt is absurd to suppose that the direct ing minds or guiding hands of these enor- nous businesses did not know what was being done.'
 Tie court also overruled q. part of the motion of the defense to strike from the record all evidence bearing on matters prior to the statutory period covered by the indictment and the motion of the defense to exclude from the case the memoranda of the margins introduced by the government to connect J. ogden Armour and Thomas J. Corners, two of the defendants, with personal participation in the exchange of business Information in restraint Of trade.
 After Judge Carpenter had read his de- cisions, Attorney NJ. w Morders pre- scented motion that Defendants Edward Morris and Louis H. Haymen be dis charged on the ground that the alleged crimes charged in the complaint were at odds with the testimony in that 1t men, tioned Morris & Co. of New Jersey as be- ing in the fresh meat business. whereas Morris X Co. of Maine was the branch handling this line. The matter will be disposed of tomorrow morning. The pack CTS, it is expected. will begin their de- fense tomorrow and may take six weeks in nreeepting fheir defense.

Atlanta, March 12.-Owfng to nueer- tainty as to the condition of Eugene H. Grace. the preliminary trial. set for tomorrow, of his wife, Mrs. Daisy opie Grace. charged with shooting him. was postponed late today until Tues day, March 19.
 Earlier in the day counsel for both sides had announced that they were ready for the preliminary hearing to- morrow. Late this afternoon Attorney Lamar Hill, representing Grace. ap- peared before Justice J. E. Ridgely and presented formal motion for the post ponement. John w. Moore, attorney for Mrs. Grace, was present
 In asking for the postponement MT. Hill said:
 Your honor, l was informed by the physicians this afternoon that 1t was impossible for them to tell at the pres ent time just how serious Mr Grace s condition is. They stated that 1t prob ably would be the end of the4week be fore they could tnlf Whether lis inJhry is fatal We, therefore, ask for d post ponement, because at this time we dc not know whether to prosecute Mrs Grace upon a charge of attempted mur- der or murder"
 Justice Ridgely Immediately post poned the hearing.
 No application for bail for Mrs Grace was made today, but Attorney Moore her counsel. is credited with the state ment that he will consult with Grace S physicians tomorrow and then make application for his clients relase on bond.

TRIAL OF MRS.
 GRACE POSTPONED ONE WEEK

An N-ray examination of Grace s wound showed today that the bullet is resting against the spinal cord. Physi- clans state that it can be removed by a delicate operation which will be un- dertaken when the patients condition permits. They reiterated the former declaration that even If Grace lives he may be a cripple for life because of paralysis.
 When informed of the X-ray exam ination made on her husband, Mrs. Grace is quoted as saying: "l am sure he will live He must be gaining strength. His health and comfort means everything to me. some day he will made
 All that I ask Is that he get well. My love is greater than ever"
 Attorneys for the accused woman have issued orders barring all visitors while Mrs. Grace is in jail. They state anything she may have to say will be reserved until the hearing.
 In the latest decision of the Georgia Su- preme court is 10 he as a eliterior.sthe dyfnp Statement of Eugene Grace. should his wound prove fatal, could be used as material evidence in the prosecution of his wife, Daisy Opie Grace.
 In denying a new trial to Virgil Josey of Pike county. Georgia, convicted of the murder of his wife and sentenced to life imprisonment the supreme court today ruled as follows.
 "The dying declaration of any person, taken in the article of death, is admissible as evidence in the prosecution of homi- eide"
 The statement was unqualified by the court.

W.I.BRYAN AND COL.
 ROOSEVELT AGREE
Former IndOrses Latter's Doctrines at Columbus,
 Ohio

Columbus, March 12.-Wilian Jen- nings Bryan today gave the Ohio con stitutional convention his views on the making of the constitution. He spoke in favor of the initiative and refer Is an evolution rather than revolu- ton
 MT. Bryan further said:
 "The only difference between the re- call as now proposed and impeach- ment as it has been employed Is that in impeachments the trial is before n body of officials while the recall places the decision in the hands of the peo- ple1
 MT. Bryan said there was no dark CT page in our industrial life than that which recorded indifference to the well fare of children, the coming of divl- |dcnds out of childhood, the darkening of the prospects of rising genera ton and the impoverlshment of pos terity.'
 In champloning the inititiye and ref erendum. MT. Bryan said:
 Experience has shown that the de- fleets of our government are not in the people themselves. but in those who. acting as delegates of the people. embezzle power and turn Co their own advantage the authority given them for the advancement of the public veal 'erbe initiative and referendum do Inot decrease the sympathetic import ance of legislative bodies, nor do they withdraw authority from those who are elected to represent the people. on the contrary, when the people have the initiative and referendum with which to protect themselves, they. can safely confer larger authority upon their representatiyes'
 Concerning the courts and the recall of judges. MT. Bryan said: "The judge, like every other official, is inc servant of the people, and there lis no reason why he should be made permanent. independent of public lopinfon on questions more than funda- mental in nature. The judge who woiIId be swerved by fear of a recall would not be fit for the place. any how. If there is any position in which we need rigid, uncompromising up- righteousness. IL is on the bench and the recall instead of menacing the in ldependence of the Judiciary is more likely to improve the nature of those who occupy judicial positions.
 With the recall official terms may. with safety, be made longei,2
 MT. Bryan's views as expressed tod ax are opposite to those outlined by Gov. Jud- son Harmon, who addressed the charter makers several weeks ago. Governor liar mon urged them to wait until the inifi- atise. referendum and recall had been tried i'll some other states.
