good cheer and service to humanity and
has been the fundamentally of saving
the lives of many who otherwise would

Lamoille County Court opened in due
and ancient form at ten o'clock Tuesday

supported by Judges J. S. Leach and II.
| A. Jackson. S. B. Waite was at the
Clerks desk and Sheriff Town in his dock,
while in the lawyers seats were Messrs.

vile, after which court was officially
opened by Sheriff Town. The docket was
then gone through and many of thecases
therein were disposed of either by settle
ment or continuance. Of the eight cases
set for trial by jury half of them were an
nounceo as settled or continued.
What will probably be the most i'm
portant cases for trial are those of Geo.
E. White of Montpelier Lizzie A. White
of Hyde Park. One is an appeal from
probate court and the other grows out of
the settlement of his father estate. Mrs.
White is the plaintiffs stepmother and
the widow of Judge E. c. White, long
time pr obate judge of this county. These
cases will be taken up later. being con-
tinued because of the illness of Mr.. White.
Another important case which is set
for trial Monday, Dec 20, at 2 O'Clock,
is that of in re Roscoe S. Fuller's will
Gallon Stinson and l.. r. Stinson pro-
ponents, r. H. Fuller contestant. This is
an appeal from probate court. In this
case the proponents claim that Roscoe
Fuller, who died in 1906, left a will,
leaving about half of the property to the
Stinsons, who were not related except by |
marriage, and seek to prove the will by a |
claimed copy The existence of will at |
the time> of Fuller's death is denied by |
the contestant. This case will tried by a
'struck jury" and twelve will be selected

Modifrinr the senate Rnle,.

The caucus OF democratic senators at Wash
ington is counter with its old snag in the rules
for governing the senate The radical element
Of the majority party would like to adopt some
form OF cloture to make it easy to drive party
measures through with little or no considera-
ton on the floor. Under such rule any sort
Of ill-considered bill could be forced into life as
law. The experience Of the last congress af-
fords some Illuminating examples OF the danger
Of enacting laws without debate and under pres
sure OF party power. Inexcusabe defects in the
tariff and revenue laws, in the reserve banking
law and in other important measures we're
caught after passing the house. due to partisan
determination to prevent proper consideration
Of bills on the floor. Overlong debate may be
annoying to the party in the majority. but its
indulgence is not nearly dangerous the
threat OF legislation without debate. Caucus
control is servceable when IL does not hamper
proper expression OF opinion and interchange
Of reason in the open, and becomes menace
when 1t seeks to regulate public utterance. At
any rate, the democratic enthusiasts for DONNA
ton by the caucus are not likely to carry their
point.

Abolish Phone Tolls Inside City Limits,

The question Of telephone tolls between
Omaha and South Omaha, which has been held
in allegiance since the Greater Omaha merger
nearly six months ago, is again forcing itself on
the city council. The telephone people, natu-
rally, want to be permitted to go along as they
have been. making toll business OF calls between
Omaha and South Omaha, except where the sub
scriber pays an extra rate in lieu OF the tolls.
But there is no logical basis for treating South
Omaha different from Florence, Benson or
Dundee. except that II has been customary.
True. many South Omaha phone subscribers
who do not have much use for Omaha connec-
tons probably prefer the lower rate and limited
service they are enjoying, and II the tele-
phone company wants to make them a special
price for a one-exchange service, nothing pre-
vents. but no good reason exists why It should
exact tolls for South Omaha calls from the other
exchanges to make up the difference.
We doubt IL there is another city in the
country, barring measured service cities, in
which telephone tolls are collected between ex-
changes inside the city limits 1t is only mat
ter OF time ct most when the Omaha-to-South
Omaha toll will have to be abolished. And If
eventually why not now?
