SENSE IN COURT.

1, be learned in the law is a great
 irement. To add to this q keen
 eciation of human nature and all xaleidoscopic colorings is an ac- plishment that distinguishes the e from. the lawyer. To couple two intrinsic qualifications with cd sense of responsibility to the
 and state, and nation, is the of judicial attainment. These ys have been manifest in the local e court ever since the legisla-
 designated James T. Meskill as e of that tribunal.
 dge Meskilrs native ability and special qualifications he possesses 1 brought him recognition from bar and public. There is rarely " goes by that he does not dem -ate the wisdom of tho General mbly in making this particular .ial appointment. As he exerts omplcte hold on the broader gs pertaining to the jurisdiction his court he nonetheless has an for detail. In all his actions non sense is ever present. This hing in court Judge Mesklll reH1- rated against the repeated con- snce of a minor case because it hved a night policeman, the prlh-
 witness for the prosecution, or Heep to which he is entitled. Fo- hen are only human. Like other Ials, they must have the rest that Ire prescribes for the restoration lind and body, if they are to et- htly carry on the duties of their 'on in life. ..
 dYe Meskill is to be commenced ais view in this case. As in all dealings with those who come be Ehim he has again exercised the common sense that means so h to so many Looking after the hre of a policeman may seem a hl thing: but the little things in are what count. Common sense burt. while not exactly a "rara F is still deserving of notice.

At Mornings Door.

It isn't for me-is what l say. To rail at the world as it rolls away In the light. or over the Nights black To the stations the Lord has lit with
 stars, It isn't for me. with a sigh or song, To tell the brethren: "Shes rollins
 wrong.' For still comes the messge-oer an You're always standing at Mornings Door! When only the sorrowing Night I see That is the word O the Stars to me; And I look to the Light through the
 shadows of Night Where the world rolls into the Morn-
 ing bright; For still, though the shadows for vic-
 tory fight, Word from God makes the dark
 ness white; And true rings the messa age--o'er and
 OCT; We're always standing at Morning. 8 Doorr' So it isn't for me-is what I say. TO rail at the world as it rolls away; Over the thorn the Rose is born, Though the blood of the Rose still
 may drip from the thorn And Love is leading us on and on From the depths O. tho dark to the
 brow O the dawn; Still more of Heaven than we knew
 before; We are always standing at Mornings s Door!"

Peace Prize Committee, 8 gathering of lntellects highly enlightened by the Colonel s remarks. If detailed outline is needed then there is what the Colonel had to say about the World League to Enforce Peace of Righteousness which will be found. of course, in America and the World War;" the book he published more than two years ago. The surprising thing about this is that the book was not published sooner than that; but then there was no world war before 1914 and the Colonel did not have time to study the question. Although we have not yet come across any pas sage in the Bible written by the Colonel we are almost ce tain that careful analysis of Genesis would reveal some of his writings Surely Moses did not have a monopoly on that book. Also, as the days go on. we are more certain than ever that Balnbrldge Colby was right when he said at the Lyceum on the night of November ? last:-"The Colonel requires, for the mastery of any novel or intricate problem, only a stenographer. Then the Colonel is impatient to have his notes transcribed presented in type written form, and, when he has read the revised proof he has exhausted every known source of information.
 On second thought, Colby was ab- so),,telv right. The Colonel is the alpha and omega of all knowledge.

 in Tartan Clad.

The famous Scottish Bagpipe band fo Hartford, composed of fifteen pipers and drummers has been espec- ially enga ged by Clan Douglas for the big concert in Turner hall, Friday evening. The band is very expensive attraction and has created favorable comment wherever it has performed. The highland dress is of the genuine Scotch tartan, and is newly imported direct from Scotland
 The big drummer is a wonder. He has yet to celebrate his twentieth birthday, and measures over six feet tall. When not beatin' the drum he is bcatin it from the ladies, all or whom seem to be nightly interested in this particular member of the band.
 The band will give a short street parade before the concert should tho weather permit. and will be the first number on the program and also will lead the grand march for the dancing. The concert will begin promptly at S:1 and indications are that the $. i'. O. sign will be very much in evidence before the concert starts.

necessity of transporting lumber from greater and greater distances. Rail road freights now take a fifth or more of the consumers price, retailers about the same amount, and manufac- turers, on the average, little more than one-half. The high cost of lum- Der is thus due in large part to local timber shortage, resulting from the rapid using up of forests without pro- vision for their renewal. The report, which lays special emphasis upon the fact that such waste in the use of our natural forest wealth as is now taking place will inevitably lead to disaster points out that the people of the whole country have live interest in the economical use of present timber sup plies and in continued forest produc- tion after logging.
 Little Is being done to restock the forest lands logged for their virgin timber. The total use of wood in the United States exceeds by a good deal the aggregate growth of it's forests: and unless the enormous area of cut over land, to which millions of acres are adNed every year, are put to grow ing new forests, the Forest Service thinks that the danger of a nation wide shortage of timber and high prices for all wood products will be- come acute. According to these ex perts there is no surplus of forest re- sources above the countrys needs There Is rather a lack of forests, par t1cularly of growing forests to take the place of the reservoirs of virgin tim Der now being drained.
 There is no doubt chat the country faces one of it's biggest problems in the conservation of its natural forest wealth. It is also apparent that a national mistake was made in allow ing such rapid passage of title to tim mberlands in the public dom ain. For, as this timely and highly valuable report shows, this generosity on tho part of the governme ent has acted as a
 
 taking over of these lands on such a wholesale scale was beyond all inn mediate needs for local or industrial development. Private ownership now, hard pressed to carry these staggering quantities of timber during the long periods which must necessarily elapse before they can be converted into lumber, is sacrificing them in. part by wasteful use because of financial exigencies The carrying of this future resource Is a public rather than a private function, the Forest Service declares, and urges that the obvious remedy be applied, the taking back of part of the Western timberlands. To which the majority of. people in the nation will agree. Otherwise the country will shortly face a lumb Der scarcity.

DR.. Christian Johnson, who feels that
this utterance, vindicates the position
he took in opposing the establishing
Of a sanatorium In this county. 1t will
be recalled that some time ago Dr.
Johnson and DR.. Hill of the State
Board discussed the question in joint
debate before the Willmar Commerc

ton that the county sanatOriums were
expensive experiments, and that oul
county could we'll afford to await the
results Of those being built at thai
time in other counties.
