Spring Term of Court.

49,. Spring Term of Court.
: Judge G. W. Stanton presided
throughout the February term of
district court. He is not only entitled
to, credit for having presided at one
of the shortest. terms of court ever
held in this county but is also en-
titled to credit for bringing about
that result. The expense of holding
court for jury trials costs the tax
payers of this county at least 800
each day court is in session. Judge
Stanton realizes this fact keenly and
from the time the petit jury reported
on February &c until the last case
was called the wheels of justice were
kept grinding. Attorneys who show
ed any signs of dilatory practice were
reminded Of the fact that time was
money and each case was tried as
called or dismissed.
The people, of this county should
be proud of County Attorney Tor
rance and they have right to feel
proud. They elected man who has
proved to be working for the county
and not for himself. Much credit is
due him for the promptness and
punctuality with which the cases
were dispatched. The fact that not
single case was lost to the state is
proof that the voters of Beltrami
county have not made a mistake in
their confidence of his ability. Realiz-
ing that each day meant added ex-
pense to the county, he used his ef-
forts to urge speedy action at all
times. The result was that the tax
payers will be saved over $1,000 of
expense in this one term Of court.
The jurors justly earned their full
share of favorable comment. They
worked faithfully in business like
manner and their verdicts have met
with the hearty approval of all those
wuo have followed the courts pro-
ceedings. There were no disagree
ments, no "soldiering," no staying
out for meals or for double time.
This is true of not only those on the
regular panel but also those selected
by Sheriff Andrew Johnson on special
venires There was no suggestion of
playing politics, personal feeling, or
anything except desire to do. JUS
tice and to do, it promptly. The jur.
OFFS at this term of court have set
high standard for other juries to fol-
low. .~e. -, L..
i, 1.-THE best term of court ever
saw" commented Sheriff Andrew
Johnson. :They certainly made us
go some,' but that's what we like"
A number of special veniries were
issued to the sheriff, returnable
within from one to three hours.
They were all returned on time
and the men summoned were the
kind of men referred to above. 81

While the.

ate on general orders. While the
opinion in the house was one way, the
senate appears to be somewhat divid-
ed as Senator Dan Gum, of Grand
Rapids, yesterday blocked the pro-
gress of the bill.
The measure was introduced by W.
I. Nolan, of Minneapolis, and amends
the present public corporation law by
allowing the governing body of any
city or village to prescribe and limit
the charges which any such corpora
ton may demand and receive for the
commodities or services furnished. by
it to the community. It is provided.
however, that no charge shall be
made lower than the price stated in
any contract between the city and the
company. "
The unanimity with which the bill
passed the house should be an indica-
ton of it's true worth. 1t is we'll
known that the nresent senate ia not
as progressive as the house and some
of the old time senators are appar-
emily trying to block the bill. 1t is
a measure for the common people and
should be passed by the senate with
out opposition.
