ADDRESS BY
MAYOR PARMLEY
Delivered to the Council Tuesday
April l6.

Gentlemen: There is an ancient
adage, "All's well that ends we'll"
What or how much the author en-
bodied in this maxim, we do not know.
AS there are at least two ends to most
things, we take it for granted that he
meant the first as we'll as the last end
ing. We have these both demonstrated
here tonight, - the administration that
closes with this meeting and the ad-
ministration that begins with this meet
ing. Of the former we can justly say,
1t ends we'll
In listening to the verdict of the
people, (who are the judges it may
be of interest to you to know that your
administration has been satisfactory
and that you go into history as bene-
factors. Now, we are hoping that
those Of you remaining may prove as
good leaven to the lump that is added
at this time. We shall look to you as
ballast to our ship to steady us through
the breakers.
We cannot at this time forget the
sadness occasioned by the death of our
young colleague, stricken down in his
youthful manhood just as he, with
bright hopes, was about to enter on his
duties with us. Surely we are remind
ed of the uncertainties of life. His pa
rents have our sincerest sympathy.
a.. I
ton of the wish of the people, in COM
mon parlance, 1t is up to you. You are
the peoples representatives. you are
the people But it is presumptious in me
to elaborate: you are experienced men,
and know your duties. The position |
am honored with / consider as second
servants of the people of Mineral Point
city. Let us as much as lieth in us
carry out their wishes in the better
ment of conditions that surround u.s.
coming to an agreeable compromise in
matters of dispute.
We shall hold that it is best not to
make radical changes in rules and Gus
toms long continued if these rules and
customs have proven satisfactory.
Knowing that laws and regulations
have been instituted among us for our
welfare, it will become our duty, as
much as possible, and as servants of
the people, to see that such laws and
regulations are enforced.
And as new questions from time to
time confront us, let us attempt to de-
eide impartially to all, and with special
privileges to none; and in our admins
tration make the maxim that we start
ed out with to read, All 8 we'll that
begins, continues, and ends we'll.
Now, councilmen, l have chosen you
as best l could as committeeman Civ
ing to the older members in the council
the harder places. Hoping that this
may meet your approval, l will read
giving my list to the clerk to be copied
later.

JUDGE MORGAN DEAD
ex-Chief Justice Of North Dakota
Passes in California.

Fargo. May 14.-David E. Morga1.,
ex-chief justice of the supreme court
of North Dakota died at Banning, Cal.
Judge Morgan resigned from the su-
preme bench more than a year ago,
owing to a physical breakdown. His
death was not unexpected. His pop.
ularity and reputation is attested by
the fact that the Republicans recently
nominated him for judge of the su-
preme court and his nomination was
Endorsed by the Democratic congress-
men. Judge Morgan was born in
Pomery county, Ohio, Nov. s., 1S49.
In 1898 he was elected to the state
supreme court and was later made
chief justice of that body. The re.
mains of Judge Morgan will be
brought back to his home at Devils
Lake, where the funeral services will
be held. No arrangements have been
made as yet.

New Orleans, May 13.-New Orleans

Louisiana was affected and thousands
OF people who live behind the already
terribly strained levees that hold back

points along the river it swept the

At New Orleans 5A inches of rain

four inches fell between Z and 8 o'clock.
The Mississippi river here was backed

BRANDT BACK IN JAIL

New York, May 10. - Folke q.
Brandt. formerly valet to Mortimer L.
Schiff. who was released from Dame
mora prison on a habeas corpus deci-
sion OF Justice Garard of the supreme
court, is again in the Tombs and may
be returned to prison to serve out the
30 years to which he was sentenced
i've years ago by Justice Rosalski in
the court of general sessions. The an.
pellate decision of the supreme court
reversed the decision of Justice Gerard
liberating the prisoner, whose case
caused much interest early this year
when he applied to Governor Dix for
executive clemency.
If the decision of the appellate d.
vision, which was unanimous. is an
pealed to the court of appeals, as coun-
sci for Brandt assert it will be-, the
former valet probably will remain at
the appellate division, Judge O'Sulli-
van, in the court of general sessions,
issued a bench warrant Tor Brandt's
arrest and he was committed to the
Tombs without bail.
After reviewing the history of the
case, Justice Miller, who wrote the
opinion, said in part:
1--WE have nothing to do with the
sentence except to determine whether
1t was in excess of the courts power.
Burglary in the first degree is punish
able by Imprisonment for life.
THE order should be reversed and
the writ dismissed. the prisoner re.
manded to the custody of the Defend

TAFT MEN CLAIMING % MORE
DECLARED EXECUTIVE NEEDS
ONLY 20 MORE VOTES.
Roosevelt Bureau, on the Other Hand,
Claims a Lead of Ninety
Over Taft.

Washington, May 14.-Although ad.
hitting their disappointment over the
result in the Maryland primaries, the
friends of President Taft find much
consolation in the fact that during the
past week there were added to the list
OF Taft delegates % Taft men, and to
the Roosevelt delegates only IL men,
without counting Maryland, which has
not yet formally recorded her choice
in convention.
Referring to the Montana results
the Taft bureau issued the following
and a comment upon the Texas re-
suits:
president Taft will control the
state convention by a majority of
more than 100 and Dixon was beaten
in his home county by five to one.
The eight votes of Montana will be
cast at Chicago for the president.
Three districts in Texas elected
delegates and President Taft got five
of the six delegates. The third dis.
trict in Arkansas also instructed it's
two delegates for him and the fifth
Alabama will send two delegates also
instructed for the president.
The president now has 492 dele
gates to the Chicago convention, and
if the Montana delegation be included,
he has an even 500, needing only 40
votes to nominate on the first ballot.
These 40 will be secured this week,
while Ohio will add to his total next
week a substantial number of dele
gates"
The Roosevelt national bureau gave
out the following lineup Of the dele
gates chosen to date:
