Garden Grove Depot Open Nights.

For some time there has been an
effort made to get the Burlington
railroad to open their station at this
point for the late evening passenger
lain and the early morning passen-
ger trains. 1t seemed that the town
was to meet disappointment in the
matter as the company seemed to
take little notice of our request, but
last week word was received from
headquarters to have the station
opened for these two trains for the
of the public and Ell
da Mcdowell, who has been assistant
to agent Stroll at the depot, was en-
gagged to act as agent for the two
passenger trains indicated. We as
sure you the public very much ap-
preciate having the station opened.
The company, for some weeks past
has been having the waiting room
left open, but the room was at times,
being made use off by parties who
had no business at the station, it
making an excellent place for young
people to congregate of evenings,
and the danger from fire was very
great. Garden Grove Express.

MARSHALL is RIGHT.

Vice President Marshall observes
that people appreciated public institu.
tions maintained by them more than
they did Carnegie library or any form
of charity arising from predatory
wealth. Recently in speaking before
the young mems Christian association
in the municipal auditorium at Spring
Held, Mass, he said:
"ln my travels have been impressed
by tho eagerness with which citizens
have pointed out their public institu
tions. But ! generally have to ask to
see Carnegie library if there in one
in town"
The Vice President has the correct
view point; and his vision il clear. His
spirit is manly and he believes in the
people maintaining their own institu
tions.
This has long been the attitude of
this paper, The face of the Democrat
has been set against every suggestion
to secure Carnegie library for Min
eral Point. The glorious privilege Of
being independent is something greatly
to be priced. Cultivate independence
1t is the true American spirit.

A LOCAL NATTER.

There are peculiar dangers in Min
eral Point attending traffic with
automobiles, OR with horses for that
matter. The grades are unusually
steep; and many corners are sharp
and somewhat hidden from view;
and as there is only one thoroughly
improved street in the town the
travel is very much congestcd on
that street. Many drivers of ma
chimes are very careful, and fortu-
nately SO far no very serious accident
has occurred. While rejoicing in
this good fortune The Democrat
deems il wise at this time, when
travel with machines is Just fairly
commencing for the season, to ask
streets of Mineral Point as safe as
possible for travel, - by foot, horse,
and machine. Particularly do we
call upon the Marshal to enforce the
laws made and provided for the safe
ty of the public. The state laws
should be enforced Under the law
cars are not allowed to run with
mufflcrs open within the limits of
city. But the law in this regard, and
in regard to speeding, is violated
in Mineral Point every day. Some
tangible evidence at the outset this
spring that the authorities will re-
quire mufflcrs to be closed, and will
stop undue speed, would be very
saIutary.

TO BE COUNTY JUDGE.

The following from the Legislative
notes in the Milwaukee News will be
read with pleasure by friends Of Robert
Kirkland in this portion of Wisconsin,:
Robert kirkland is to be county judge
of Jefferson county. The decision Of
Mr.. Kirkland to accept the position has
been made public and is the result of
great pressure which has been brought
to bear on him by the citizens Of the
county to take the place. The salary of
the position is to be fixed at 80 800 a
year, IN increase Of about ~ 600 over
what the position pays now. The court
is to be given extensive civil jurisdiction
and many matters which are now heard
in circuit court will hereafter be heard
in the court over which Mr.. Kirkland
is expected to preside. The bill fixing
the salary at $500 for the court is
being passed through the legislature
and is being warmly supported by citi-
Zens of jefferson county.

The discussion occasioned by the dis

the State department and the Morgan
group of bankers is enlightning 10 the
public. 1t shows in striking manner
that statesmen of the Aldrich type,
who dominated the Roosevelt and Taft

not wrong for the government to guar

payment through the collection of un .

SOME GOOD WORDS FOR THE

During our long connection with The
Democrat, many printers have been
associated with us in the work of the
office. Some of these printers are now
publishers of daily papers and have
become prominent in the newspaper
field. One of these is A. f. Tuttle
who is vice president and superinten-
tent OF The Reporter Printing company
OF Fond du Lac. Words of commend
alton from him are, therefore. exceed
ingly pleasing to us. He writes as
follows:

oiate your efforts in giving them a
paper that is a credit to the place.
The printing game is hard one and
to make it II success requires the loval
cooperation of the public. 70 me it
looks as though you had it.
