Congressman Kinkead of New Jersey voiced
the principle that governs our navy-yard pol

modest bill providing that the New York yard

j., Hendrick in Golfers.
The war in Europe has served one
good purpose at least. With the real
ization that we are woefully weak
from military viewpoint, despite the
fact that from 1901 to 1912 the United
States expended a grand total of 3d.
!948,719,197 on its army and navy as
compared to $2,11o,508,119 expended
by Germany during the same period,
has come an indignant protest against

congress. The people are getting tired

The Duluth Evening Herald paid a
nice compliment to the country press
of the state, when it announced that
hereafter the Herald will exchange on
an even basis with it's rural contem-
poraries. Formerly the weekly pa
pers were asked to run an advertise
ment for the Herald, and realizing
that there is considerable difference
in the cost of producing big daily as
compared to a weekly, the country
press cheerfully complied. The Her
aid says in this connection: "The
country press tells us more about
what the state is thinking about, what
it needs, what it is doing, what it ought
to be doing, than we could learn from
any other source. Since that's what
we want to know, and since that is
what we get out Of our weekly
exchanges, Of course it isn't right to
ask them therefore, to pay us-.in adj
vertising or otherwise for giving it

Frederick T. Price has been con-
victed Of the murder of his wife,
Mary Fridley Price. It was the most
brutal, cold-blooded premeditated MUIR
der in the aa1nnauls of Minnesota.
Neither the murderer or his fourth
wife are entitled to any sympathy
whatever. The only regret is that
capital punishment has been abolished
in this state and that the death penalty
cannot be inflicted. He should be in
carcerated in the penitentiary without
delay and no favors should be shown
him by the officers of that institution.
He should be treated as dangerous
criminal, subjected to the most rigid
discipline and never permitted to go
the prison walls until his life.

The attack on the Minnesota county
option law reached the supreme court
Monday. The case is an appeal by the
officials of International Falls from
the action Of the lower court in en-
joining the council in it's effort to is
sue liquor license. International
Falls is in Koochiching county, which
recently voted out saloons under the
provisions Of the county option law.
The attempt to break down the stat
ute is based on the assumption that
the state cannot take away what the
constitution gave, and that cities with
home rule charters are permitted to
regulate their own affairs, regardless
of what the option of the county at
large may be. The state, on the other
hand, contends that the county option
act supersedes everything else. The
outcome will be awaited with interest.

Detroit, one of the first Minnesota
municipalities made ,"dry" by the en-
forcement of the Indain treaty Of
1855, furnishes a new and decidedly
interesting development in the "wet"'
and 'dry" controversy. At the last
session Of the Detroit city council a
quartet Of former salookeepers pre-
sented bills aggregating $28,500, al
leging that this sum was due them be-
cause the city had collected that
amount from them in the way of
liquor licenses, and that this collec-
ton was illegal under the Indian treaty.
The Detroit Record den6unces the at
tempt as an outrage, and, in view Of
the fact that the saloonkeepers oper-
ated their places of business during.
the years the licenses were issued, it
does SAVIOR of gall.

Makes a Precedent.


Judge Roeser has made precedent
that will attract statewide interest.
In bastardy case, the, jury after be-
ing out for "a hours, reported that it
was not able to bring in unanimous
verdict. The Judge then instructed
them to bring in a fve-sixths verdict
if possible. A verdict was then re-
turned, IL for conviction and one for
acquittal. It is close question, ac-
cording to attorneys, whether the deci-
sion will be sustained by the supreme
court. This case, while prosecuted
by the state, is not in the strict sense
of the word criminal proceeding, be-
cause the purpose is to determine the
father of the child, to provide for its
support. There is no penalty provid-
ed by law, other than that. It is
therefore more of civil suit than a
criminal prosecution. We understand
the Judge believed it better to secure
a verdict in this way than to have a
disagreement. The decision of Judge
Roeser is based on good common sense
but it remains to be seen whether the
supreme court will decide it to be in
strict accordance with the statutes
made and provided. A il to one YER
dict is a pretty conclusive verdict any,
how.1LSt. Cloud Journal Press. 90

The postal savings system is re-
turning some profit to the government
although as the law now stands only
$500 may be deposited in one month,
and $500 is the limit to one person. Is
there any reason why the United
States should limit the amount of
money that can be deposited in a
postal savings bank? With the limit
ations- removed the system would I'M
doubtedly return a substantial profit,
and considerable money that is now
hidden away would be placed in cir
culation.

Hon. Charles H. Warner of Aitk;n

Hon. Charles H. Warner of Aitkin
announces that if he is a candidate for
any office this year it will not be for
congress but for reelection to the
legislature. Mr.. Warner is wise. He
can render the state valuable service
IN the legislature. No man welded
more influence in the last house than
he did. He has the ability and the ex-
perience to make an excellent presid-
ing officer, and if returned to the
house, as he undoubtedly will be if he
is candidate, he could be elected
speaker without much of an effort on
his part. -" -"

Hon. James A. Peterson has filed
as republican candidate for lieuten-

particularly care forthe Office, but in
obedience to the wishes of all factions

an excellent candidate as Mr.. Peterson
there should be no question Of. his
nomination and election.
