Robert Buchanan, one of the pio-

Valley back in the early SOS when the

The Record has received request
! from Miss Ema VAIL, teacher in the
: Westtield country, TO announce that
her school has just received travel
ing library consisting Of forty books,
and that all those living in the neigh
borhood are invited to make use Of
, the same. We are glad to make note
: of the same, for we believe this is an
excellent idea and shows the teacher in
charge to be alive and up-to-date.
. The provisional supreme court con-
!, sistng of district judges have passed
! upon the question brought before them
! by the Nonpartisan justices as to when
9 they take office, and have ruled that
! the judges-elect must do the same as
: all Judges heretofore: wait until Jan
uary to begin drawing their pay
;, checks Carried to its logical con
!, clusion, their contention (Robinson,
), Bndscll and Grace) would bring us
: into that singuiarly unfortunate state
: of confusion where one body of men in
: office claim the right to sit and another,
/, not having possession asserted the
!, same right. The matter would then
have to be determined by purely the
4 right of possession on recourse to
physical force where the members of
:. the highest judicial branch of the gov
J. eminent must settle the disputed ques-
ton by the arbitration of arms. Such
ia humiliating spectacle in civilized so.
i Getty ought not to exist. Thus does
" the provisional court pay its respects
u to Robinson's contention that they had
