schools favor the pension plan provided

With only a few weeks left before
the national convention is to meet,
the republican party is still very
much at sea as to it's candidate for
president. Many men are being men
toned for the nomination, but none
so far has a preponderating lead in
party favor. Judge Hughes would un-
doubtedly be the strongest candidate
if he can be drafted into the service

Dunn Road Law Criticised.

Warren, Mimi, April 10Th, 1916.
Editor Of Warren Sheaf,
Warren, MINI.
Dear Sir:
Will you kindly permit me thru
the medium of your wide-awake
paper to pay my respects to the.
Quinn Road Law? Since the law
went into effect the roads have been
in the poorest condition ever known.
Never has there been so little work
done on the roads as in the last three
years. More money has been spent on
road building in the last three years.
in Marshall and Polk counties than
in any other three years in the his
tory Of road building, and with all
most nothing to show for it. We
Judge Of the law by the results OBJ
tanned. Where has all the money
been spent? Not on the roads sure
ly. Where then? Most Of it be-
lieve in the County Court Houses,
in drawing blue prints, making plans
and specifications, advertising for
bids, and then frittering away the.
time till the next season for road
building rolls around, that's where
the money has gone. That is prac-
tically all we have to show for the
Dunn Road Law.
Should the road officials continue
to pursue the same do-nothing
the-roads policy as they have in the
|past, under the Dunn Road Law,
then I predict that the next session
of the State Legislature will be bonn
barded by those who have paid their
money for road building and got
nothing for it but blue prints, for
an immediate and unconditional re-
peal of the law, and a return to
Home Rule for road building. As
la tax payer, prefer good roads to
blue prints, contracts, surveys, speci-
fcations and the like.
Respectfully,
C. A. Tullar.

fact does not hinder US from joining
the Kennedy Star in paying high
tribute to our esteemed fellow
townsman, Julius ]. Olson, as a
suitable man for the toga. The
Star says editorially last week:
The partisans to each Of the pres
ent republican candidates for the u.
is. Senate are never firing Of boost
ing for their man and condemning
in ugly terms the opposing candi-
dates. All this noise and strife with
in the republican party ought to
convince thinking people that the
men so far named for this place do
not quite fill the requirements.
There is a man at Warren, Mimi, a
lawyer if you please, and a good
zone, who would make excellent sena-
torial timber and who would come
as near filling the bill as people
could find: Julius J. Olson. The
only time the people in this district
had chance to show that they con-
fide in and appreciate Julius J.
Olson, was this winter, when in his
absence they nominated and elected
him as District Delegate to the ma
tional convention, and this endorse
ment was unanimous. Julius j.
Olson is good, clean man, no
politician, honest. able and progress
i've. If the people of this state were
looking for man for this position,
that combined in his makeup these
qualities and in whom all the people
could place their full confidence.
Julius J. Olson of Warren, is the
man.

Several resolutions have been pass.
ed and the matter has been under
official consideration for severa
weeks. The Times says:
"a gigantic blunder in the Govern.
ment's acceptance. Of the STANDARD
Oil decree is believed by United
States officials to be responsible fol
the present gasoline situation.
It is necessary, they said to-day
to institute the announced new suit
for dissolution Of the present Stand
ard Oil Company system to gain re
lief.
The only possible hitch to new
| suit is that the former Supreme
Court decree was accepted without
reserve by the Government lawyers.
By the Supreme Court decree, the
combination Of thirty huge oil com
panies under the parent company Of
New Jersey, was dissolved. The
stock in the companies was ordered
separated from the New Jersey Com
pany. The result, it is said, was
that the Rockefellers, Archibald and
perhaps a dozen others absorbed
most Of the stock. VI
In recent cases, including those
against the Union Pacific and the
Harvester Company, the DEGREES
have especially stated that stock in
the subsidiary companies cannot be
held by stockholders in the Crust
company. This clause is the only
thing that makes the DEGREES effect
i've, officials said to-day" Sc
The leading counsel for the gov
eminent in the Standard Oil dissolu-
ton case was Frank B. Kellogg Of
st. Paul. The official hearing before
the House committee on EYpendi-
lures in the Department. Of Justice
show that Mr.. Kellogg received for
himself alone more than $4,000 for
his part in breaking" the Standard
Oil monopoly, independent Of and
outside Of several thousand dollars
of expense money.

$1.5o PER YEAR IN ADVANCE

The Argyle Banner has raised the
question Of placing the register of
deeds of this county on salary
basis somewhat in proportion to
what is paid other county officers,
the balance of the fees over and
above such salary to be turned into
the county treasury. We believe the
Banners proposition has much merit,
but we do not believe it would be
just and right to change the emolu-
ments of the office during the term
of the present incumbent. Don't
seem to US just right to cut down an
officers pay after he has been elect
ed. But the change to a salary basis
will no doubt be made, now that the
question has been called to the at
tention of the public. We remember
that some twenty years ago there
was much agitation in Polk and
many other counties to place all
officers on a salary basis. The Of
fees were then held by republicans
and the populists were anxious to
get in. We believe even that it was
proposed in some quarters to give
the Offices to the lowest bidders. In
Marshall county the offices were
mostly held by the populists, and no
hue and cry was raised to change
from the fee system. In large and
growing county like ours, the fee
system is the most profitable to the
officers. The legislature can no
doubt pass law enabling Marshall
county to change the manner of pay
ing the register of deeds.

and warllke spirit, his unbridled
tongue and his propensity to stir up
trouble, made himself an impossible
lily as a successful candidate. It
| still rankles in the breast of many
republicans that in the last cam
|paign he did not hesitate to place his
own ambition above party success,
left the party in fact, and by so do
ing turned the country over to the
mercy Of the democrats. He it was.
who in the first place dictated the
nomination Of Taft, and if there was
any fault to be found with the Taft
administration, Roosevelt was the one
most responsible. Between Roosevelt
and Wilson, many republicans do
prefer Wilson, much as they dislike
the latter. But the republican party
lis not limited to only two men. There
lis Cumn1ins, Of Iowa, who became
Minnesota's choice at the primary
election and whom our delegation is
in honor bound to support. He is a
good, clean, able man, and would
make a good president Then there
lis Burton Of Ohio, Fairbanks, Of
Indiana, Borah, of Idaho, Lafollette
and Lenroot Of Wisconsin, Esta-
brook of New York, Mann of Illinois
and many other presidential posibil-
ities,-all good and capable men.
Senator Clapp Of Minnesota has also
jbeen mentioned as good presidential
timber. But there is also another
man, who altho not candidate, yet
looms up strong on the political
horizon, and that is Henry Ford. S He
has already secured the delegations
from two states, Michigan and Ne
braska. This is significant and the
politicians at Washington and the
lingo press may we'll pause and pom
der. One thing is certain, that if
Roosevelt and Wilson become the
nominees of the two great parties,
then third party, a new Peoples
party, is sure to be formed by those
opposed to the policies of these two
leaders. Bryan or Ford may head
this new party. In spite of the
sneers of the lingo press, Bryan is
still POLITICAL power to be reckoned
with. He, more truly than any other
statesman of our day, represents the
heart and conscience of the nation,
the high ideals Of peace and pro-
gress, justice and freedom, which
have been cherished by this nation
since it was founded and which has
made it great. There is a mighty
undercurrent in the ranks of the
common people all over the nation
and especially in the middle west
against the "war craze" largely
manufactured, which has taken pos.
session of many of our public men.
Any effort to plunge this nation into
the maelstrom of European politics
and carnage, on whatever pretext, is
a crime against America and will be
downed overwhelmingly by public
opinion. We want no war lord to
rule over us.

April 18th, 1916.
John ?. Mattson, Esq, Editor,
The Warren Sheaf,
| Warren, Minnesota.
Ny dear Mr.. Mattson:
i want to thank you for your
favorable mention of me in a re-.
cent issue Of your paper which I
appreciate very highly at this time
when some discordant notes are be-
ing heard.
It is well to remember that on this
question of warning American citi-
zens from travelling on armed mer-
chant vessels Of belligerents the
great majority Of Republicans in. the
House voted the same as I did, in
Guiding Mr. James R. Mann, Re
publican floor leader, Mr.. Philip P.
Campbell, ranking Republican mem
Der Of the Committee on Rules, and
Mr.. Henry A. Cooper, ranking Re
publican member Of the Committee
on Foreign Relations. So far the
Republican organization Of the
House is concerned, the ranking Re-
publican member Of a committee,
like Mr.. Cooper, on the Committee
on Foreign Relations, is looked upon
as representing the Republican views
on important public questions before
his committee, and in most cases his
leadership is follwed by the members
of the party. I am sending you a
copy Of Mr.. Cooper's speech which
explains the situation as it was at
the time, and the reason for the vote
on our side. It should also be re-
membered that in the Senate the Re
publicans divided nearly equally, and
the Republican leader in the Senate,
Mr.. Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
voted the same as I did, and so did
Senator Cummins, Minnesota's choice
for President Of the United States,
and Senators Borah, of Idaho, La
Toilette, Of Wisconsin, and Sherman,
of Illinois, all aspirants for the Re
publican nomination for the presi-
dency, having the support of their
respective states.
The general belief expressed on
both sides at the time was that the
President had determined to embroil
us in the European War, and but
for the sentiment expressed during
the agitation on this question, this
would probably have occurred.
7 If newspaper reports are to be
credited, Mr.. A. G. Anderson is to
/ be a candidate for Congress. He
was elected a delegate to the Re-
publican National Convention,
pledged to support Senator Cummins
who voted just the same as I did on
the warning qestion. Now he comes
out and charges that that vote was
unpatriotic and ,1un-American. He
stands pledged in writing to support
for President of the United States a
man who voted the same way as I
did. His position, therefore, must
be that it was unpatriotic and I'M
American for a Representative to
vote to warn citizens of the United
States off armed merchant vessels
Of belligerents, but that it was pa
triotic and American to so do for
the man whom he is pledged to vote
for for the presidency. Such ire
concilable inconsistency will be ap-
parent to everybody.
We are very busy here in Con-
gress at present, and as I am a mem
Der Of the conference committee on
postal bills, I probably shall not be
liable to visit my district for some
time; but l am sure that my friends
Twill look out for my interests at
home.
Yours very truly,
H. Stevenson.

Andrew Ostrand ct al. defendants.
! Andrew Ostrand ct al, respon-
dents.
Syllabls: First-The vendee in a
contract for the sale of lands may
abandon his unprotected equitable
title. s3st s.
Second The statute, G. S. 1918,
Section 8081, r. L. 1915, Section
NAP, as amended by Laws 1913. c..
1876, provides the exclusive method
by which the vendor in contract of
sale may terminate the rights Of the
vendee because Of defaults in per-
Torrance, but it does not relieve the
vendee from the effect of abandon
ment which the vendor elects to
treat as such and in which he ac-
|quiesces.
Third The evidence is sufficient to
Justify a finding of mutual abandon
ment of a contract of sale Of lands,
tina is, an abandonment by. the de-
PENDANT which the plaintiff elected
to treat as such and in which he ac-
|quiesced.
Order affirmed. Dibells, G..
Marshall County.
Conrad Anderson, respondent, VS..
Ida Wilson ct al, appellants.
Syllabus: First-A chattel mort
gage stands as security for the
mortgage debt until the debt is paid,
even though the evidence of the debt
is changed in form. The parties
may, however, agree that the pay
ment Of part Of the debt and the
giving Of a new note for the balance
shall operate as satisfaction Of
the debt. If the mortgage debt is
satisfied, the mortgage loses all vi
tally though no formal release is
given.
Second The evidence in this case
sustains finding that the payment
of part of notes secured by a mort
gage upon a team Of horses and the
giving of a new note were agreed to
be in payment Of the mortgage debt.
An agreement to take the money
and "clear the horses" and take a
splain note for the balance operates
as an acceptance Of the money and
the new note in payment Of the
mortgage debt.
Third The property having been
converted by an attempted fore
foreclosure and sale by the former
mortgage, the amount of the new
note cannot be deducted from the
damage awarded without pleading
and proof Of the note.
Order affirmed. Hallam, J
