INVESTIGATE.

One OF the duties that every voter
owes to himself and the state is to
inform himself as carefully as rossi-
BILE as to the character and capabli-
ties OF the men who are now candi-
dates for the three positions on the
state supreme bench.
The work of the Judge is not OF the
spectacu sort. 1t is performed,
necessarily. among books and docu-
n,ents and not on the public platform
The judge is seldom brought into di-
rect contact with the general public
individuals do not make their pleas
before him. He listens to the arEu-
n1ents of lawyers. investigates the
records OF cases. and applies the law
as he understands it. The average
voter is. therefore. not in a position
to decide on the merits Of a judicial
candidate as he may he able TO decide
some other office.
There are few communities in the
state however. il which the voter
cannot find some man in whose recti-
tude and judsmeut he has confidence
who is familiar With the record of
one or more of the present supreme
court candidates. The voter is not
doing himself justice. and he is not
performing his duty as a citizen If he
neglects to avail himself OF such In
formation. There should he taken
into consideration in deciding among
these candidates the personal charac-
ter of the man. his standing in his
own community, the reputation which
he has among professional men en-
gagged in his own line OF work. the
manner in which he has acquitted
himself as a lawyer, and, in the case
Of men who are now or have been
members OF the court. the records
which they have made In that capac-
Ity.
The office is too important, II deals
with matters OF too vital importance
to every citizen. to be dealt with
lightly or negligently Let the voter
Inform himself accurately, and then
let him act on his information.

Advance-Nurnerous
Western Lots In.

South St. Paul Oct. 24.-The sheep
house drew a liberal supply of stock
notwithstanding the fact that great
many cars Of stuff arrived on through
billing. Natives and westerners of all
descriptions We're included in the re-
ceipt column of this section and the
numerous lots prompted an early
start in the activities Of the dealers:
Two packer buyers were selecting
supplies from the days crop.
The lamb market held steady. as
did most markets at outside points.
For a lot Of North Dakota spring
lambs packer paid 1896 a hundred
weight early, but they We're described
as sort of premium lot and entitled
to the extra money they earned, as
were few lots at ss.75. Outside OF
this particular instance lambs topped
at $3.50, the same as at the close last
week with good many selling around
the 50 mark although the sort-out
kinds were quoted from 81 to sS.75.
Outlet for mature stock remained
unchanged for the most part. Some
strength was noted in the disposition
of good ewes, top for this kind being
boosted to $6.75 whereas the close
of last week saw the same kinds being
taken over at $3.50.
Early sales in the wether division
did not include anything over the
$3.50 mark, the same paid at the
close Of the week previous for such
stock.
The list of late sales on Saturday
included a big delegation of 116
pound western wethers which landed
at $S.
Early scaleward movement includ-
ed some lots which were picked up
by buyers of feeders and breeders.
Market on this kind held steady.
Some North Dakota feeding lambs
sold at 50 and thin ewes from the
| same state earned $6.25.
Estimated receipts here were 20,-
900 compared with 23,109 q week
ago and 12,434 year ago.
Receipts at nine principal markets
were 100000 compared with $4,000
week ago.

HOG BIDS FIRM
WITH TOP Up
Porker Market Healthy with
Big Run on Hand-Sales
$3.50 to 1910.

South st. Paul. Oct. 24.-Notwith-
standing the fact that traders on
this market were greeted with lib
eral hog run and outside markets
sent in reports of downward sliding
of schedule right from the start. the
deal here held up we'll. In fact. the
buying end called it a stronger mar
ket than that which featured the close
last week when dime gain was
shown Most of the selling talent,
however, rated it a steady PROPOSE
tion throughout.
The range of prices on such q lib
eral run was narrow, sales being reg
istered from $500 to $9.75 and the
bulk was quoted at $3.50 to $40. 1t
was piggy sort that sold around
$500.
The fact that the market was able
to hold to the level it attained on
Saturday, the highest since the close
last month, probably was due to the
presence of three packer buyers all
Of whom had heavy orders to fill out
of the crop. Competition for the
stuff was very good and trading wal
active.
The assortment included some good
lots but the general quality of the
run was described as fair by dealers
Mondays quota was made up of stuff
which was shipped from nearly every
point which has been represented
here before although the bulk of the
run was right from Minnesota and
North Dakota points.
The pig market took on strength

looked to be about 10 cents higher,

DISSATISFACTION AT THE BOR.
DER,

The Herald has recently published
Q letter written by member Of a
North Dakota company now at the
Mexican border expressing disgust
with the monotony Of camp life and
Q strong desire to get back home. That
letter is typical Of many private mis-
sives which have been received. al
though the letters that are sent out
for publication are usually in a some
what different tone. For various
reasons 1t is not polite for the guards
men to criticise too openly or too
sweepingly.
The feeling which this writer ex-
presses is quite natural. The guards
men are young men. vigorous and act
I've. They went south in the expecta-
ton that there was to be something
doing. They were hot and eager II
they had been ordered into Mexico
they would have oheyed enthusiastic
ally. and they would have acquitted
themselves valiantly. But the slow
routine OF camp life has become mo-
notonous. They are weary of it, and
sysry naturally.

A MAN AND A MILLION.

1t has often been said that no man
can honestly mako a million dollars.
The statement is based on the theory
that for every dollar that a man re-
ceives he should contribute to society
dollars WORT Of service in SON
form or other. and that there should
be no such thing as profits on spec
ulation OF any kind. It is conceded
that many large fortunes have been
accumulated in violation Of this prin-
ciple. Immense sums have sometimes
been gained through increased prices
in lands or other property to whose
enhanced value the holder has con-
trihuted nothing. In such cases,
While the individual may have put
forth effort and exhibited commercial
shrewdness Of a high order, he has
not rendered to society an equivalent
for the large fortune which he has
acquired.
But the statement that no man can
make q million dollars honestly Is un-
true. nevertheless. A few days ago
the birthday anniversary of Thames
the birthday anniversary Of Thomas
know how many million dollars may
stand to the credit Of Mr.. Edison. 1t
does not matter. He has made many
more. But. if the measure Of mans
wealth is the value OF his achievement.
Edison would rightfully be entitled.
not only to millions, but to hundreds
or thousands OF millions.
Edison has been capable Of just
about as much physical labor as the
ordinary man Of vigor and activity.
been entitled to just about the wages
OF ordinary labor. But Edison, by his
inventive genius, has multiplied many
fold the productive powers of many
millions of men. He has made it pos
sible for men to do what they could
not otherwise have done. and to enjoy
comforts which they could not other
wise have enjoyed. And, whatever
the wealth which he may have occu-
nrulated. he has contributed many
times its value to society.
1t is not alone in what We term in
ventiveness that some men are able to
render great service to the world.
Wherever men are engaged in work
| OF any kind there is always opportu
nifty for the organizer and developer
for the man who. by the exercise Of
his own peculiar qualities. is able to
render the work of others more eff
cient and more productive. Such men
| often make milliona hnt thew Rava
more millions to others.

THE WORLD TRIBUNAL.

The Episcopal convention at st.
Louis has recommended the establish
ment OF world tribunal as a means
Of preserving peace. This tribunal. 1t
is suggested. should exercise over the
affairs OF the nations an authority
similar to that which Is exercised over
the affairs OF the states by the Amer
lean supreme court.
THIS idea, of course. Ia not new. In
some form or other tho world tribunal
is the basic element in every note
worthy plan for the preservation Of
peace among the nations. Plans for
the use Of such n body vary from Its
us rs a mere board Of arbitration
which shall have power to make rec
ommeut!ations. but not to enforce
them 70 that Of the federation Of all
of the nations in some such manner as
the states OF our union are federated.
In order to avoid confusion on this
subject it is necessary to remember
that both free will and force lie at the
base of all government. First. there
must be the voluntary assent Of the
members OF preporderant element
to merge certain of their rights in a
common body. Second. there must
be, on the part Of a sufficiently pow
erful element, determination to en-
force its DEGREES as against individu-
ais. Without those two things there
can be no government. Men must
agree. first. that there shall be gov
ernment. They must determine. Sec
ond. that the edicts of government
shall be made effective by the use OF
physical force, II necessary. And. un-
committed to the use Of force to make
effective those decisions which the
common sense Of the nations has de.
cided are for the common good. how
ever useful our international tribunal:
may be in formulating rules and
shaping sentiment, they must fail al
critical moments.
We have long recognized in our do.
mesttc legislation that 1t is not suffi'
cient merely to order and prohibit
Legislatures may enact, and court:
may sustain. but without the imposi
ton OF penalty for disobedience. ant
without the physical force to give ef
feet to that penalty. our laws would
be worthless. Some day we will hav'
an international court. backed by al
international police. and then we will
begin to see the end Of war.
