U|VTANCLE BADNESS
Judge Dancer Stays Proceedings
in Sale of Armory Building
to Shriners.
COURT SETS DAY FOR
RE-0PENING OF CASE
Peoples Lawyer Making Good
Fight to Protect Principle
Of Referendum.

Judge H. A. Dancer in district court
Tuesday granted an order on motion
or Frank Crassweller, special council
Tor the city Of Duluth, staying all pro-
ceedings in the old Armory sale case
until May 13, when counsel for the
city will move the court for an order
vacating' the former Judgment and
granting the defendant city leave to
lille an amended answer.
Although the records of the district
court clerk in the case of Aad Temple
Building association against the city
OF Duluth, show that the case was re.
moved to the state supreme court and
there is no record Of it having been
returned, it was stated authoritatively
yesterday that the higher court had
RENTED the case to district court
here, and that the whole matter
stands as it did before, except that
Judge Dancers judgment of March 3,
ordering the city to deliver a deed to
the shrlners has not been vacated.
Issue Is Important.
The situation now is that the city
after May Is will appeal, and the
amended answer will accompany the
appeal to the supreme court.
The ScouneilS by special ordinance or:
'dered the old Armory sold to Aad
Temple association for $4,000. The
carrying out of a. contract to that ef-
feet between the parties, was inter-
rupted by the Intervention of a refer
endum petition under the city charter,
which City Clerk Bergen found in
sufficient and which was amended
after the Today period had elapsed,
as construed by the city authorities.
Aad Temple association, through
John Jenswold, counsel, appealed to
the district court asking for a judg-
ment from the court directing the
city to deliver deed accordingly.
Favored the Shriners.
Judge Dancer heard the case and
decided in favor Of the Temple asso-
citation, the city being represented by
City Attorney Samuelson. From this
decision, as stated, the city appealed
and in the meantime Frank Grass
weller was appointed special counsel
in the case.
The petition to reopen the case is
made upon the grounds that the mat
ter is one Of great Importance and
that since it is to be appealed to the
supreme court, it is necessary that the
evidence of the facts be set up, which
alone constitutes defense, and that
the evidence should be submitted to
the district court and the supreme
court, in order that the question of
the fight of referendum petitioners to
have 10 days. additional time, within
which to file supplemental petitions,
may be passed upon. It is argued that
there was no presumption that such
supplemental petitions would be filed,
and that there is no allegation in the
original answer, as server, that any
were filed. It is contended that the
fact Of su ch filing is solely g. matter Of
defense, and the question Of such pc
titions was not raised in the original
answer.

Dante Barton Makes Startling
Charges Against Members of
Present Congress.
PLUNDERERs HAVE BEST
PICKING IN 10 YEARS
Parcel Post Curbed-Big Water
Power Grab and Fake
Rural Credit.
(By Dante Barton,)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May H.
Privilege and special interests have
tried to set up complete control and
ownership over this present congress
Of the United States. And they have
come mighty near doing it. They will
do it in the next few weeks If the
people, the workers and farmers es-
pecially, don't realize mighty quickly
that while they, the people, are hay
ing their minds taken up by war talk
and preparations for war, vastly val
liable privileges and vastly valuable
sums of the public wealth are being
grabbed off right under their noses.
Not for ten years at least have
there been such bold attempts and so
many bold attempts to grab wealth
and power away from the people as
are being perpetrated right now in
the senate and the house of represen-
tatives Of this present congress.
Worst In Ten Years.
And not for ten years at least has
there been q congress with 50 much
Of a disposition to let the plunderers
get away with their plunder.
This is not a guess. Look at this
record: First, look at two things bad
as they can be, that have been actil-
ally done, one by the house and one
by the senate: .:4..-s
- Tho house of = representatives
adopted the Madden Amendment to
the present parcels post law limiting
the weight of parcel that could be
carried by. the United States postal
service to so pounds. That took away
the rightful authority which the post
master general now has to raise the
limit of weight on parcels and pack
ages to any amount the government
thought fit. Only the express COM
panies and allied interests wanted
that limit to so pounds put on. The
people all wanted to extend the pub
lie service of carrying things at as
near the bare cost Of the service as
possible.
Stabbed Parcel Post.
There was not any possibility of
mistaking the issue there presented,
because there were many speeches
and long debates on the floor of the
house. AS Lynn Haines says in his
"Searchlight on Congress-" "David
Lewis of Maryland" father of the
parcels post led fruitless fight to
make this branch of the postal ser
vice on a par with that Of the leading
European countries."
Now turn to the senate for another
completed transaction as far as the
senate could complete it, of what the
special interests are getting, or grab
bing at, at the expense of the public
service and the public wealth:
The indefensible Shields Water
Power bill, which has passed the sem
ate and is now in the house Of repre-
sentatives of congress, will give away,
forever and substantially without any
compensation to the people, all the
water power of all the navigable
rivers of the United States. IT, that,
remaining natural resource of wealth
and power were developed rightfully,

A monster crowd greeted Col. Fred

Fellow Citizens:
A few weeks ago we concluded one
Of the most spirited contests for the
nomination for Governor in the his
tory of the Democracy Of Missouri.
From the expressions received from
the distinguished Democrats who con-
tested the nomination with me and
from those who supported them, / be-
lieve l am justified in saying that
there isn't a Democrat in this great
commonwealth today who does not
consider that l am his candidate.
There shall be no Democratic fac
tons. l expect and know that l will
have all Democrats behind me and
after l am elected all will be taken
into the party's council. A divided
party is powerless to fulfill its pledges
to the public.
From one end of the state to the
other Democracy is united, confident

says Mr.. MillhoN. that the most reliabO .
method OF determining the correct air
pressure rs 10 disregard entirely the in
ternal pressure OF the tire and depend on
the distention or displacement. which
is to say the bulging of the tire under
Its load. Measure the top OF the tire
in Its normal condition where there il
no road pressure. then innate the tire
to a point where II will measure about
. per cent. greater at the bottom where
the road pressure or the weight OF the
car Is directly applied 10 the tire"
This is n very accurate method OF
determining the air necessary FOR any
