was true friend in whom one could
place implicit trust.
AS lawyer he had few, if any
equals, in Southern Minnesota. He
was close student of law and hard
fighter in the trial of his cases. He
was attorney on one side or the 9TH
er in the most important litigation and
sensational trials that have been re-
corded in the history of Blue Earth
and other counties in this section. He
was possessed of keen satire which
he never failed to use to advantage
against the opposing counsel. He waa
lawyer of the old school, of which
Judge Severance and Andrew C. Dunn
who died yesterday at Winnebago,
were members.
In politics, Judge Pau was con-
sistent democrat. He was prominent
in the councils of his party and he
possessed political wisdom which was
sought by the managers of the party
organization during campaigns. In
those days political battles in Man.
kato and Blue Earth county tested
the physical and mental durability
of men who engaged in them. Mr..
Pfau was one of the hardest fighters
the republicans had to cope with.
Served Four Times As Mayor.
Many offices of public trust were
held by Judge Pfau. He served as
county attorney for seven years, and
as city attorney for three years. He
served six years as mayor of Mankato,
serving three terms in succession,
and later was elected to one term,
making four terms in all. In 1908 he
was appointed judge of the district
court by Governor Johnson, to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
Judge Lorin CRAY. and he continued
in that office until January 1, 1915. He
was a member of the Episcopal
church, charter member of the local
lodge of Elks, and was member of
the Mankato Commercial club and
the Mankato Automobile club. AL

matters of civic Improvement Judge
Pfau was always an important factor

EVIDENCE HARD TO GET
Believed That No Action Will Be
Taken Against William Huber,
Wells Resident.

Wells, January 30.-The examina-
lions of several persons who were at
the German Lutheran church here
Sunday, when William Huber, a
wealthy German of this vicinity, is al
legged to have challenged the an
nouncement of the pastor that the
women of the church would meet and
work for the Red Cross, has led to
the belief that the statements attrib-
uted to Mr.. Huber who spoke in Ger
man, cannot be verified.
M. w. Brewster, four minute man
examined several persons late yester-
day, but no two testified to having
heard the same remark made by Mr.
Huber. 1t is not believed that any
action will be taken against him.

cry will also close Monday and run
Tuesday instead.

TO GET THE GOODS

That exceptionally clever woman,
Miss Agnes. Laut, writes two strong
pages in the NeaD Republic on the subject
of "Averting Famine. She says many
good things on the subject. But she
doesn't seem to see that the way to
avert famine is to produce food. She
doesn't see that food has to be produced
from land, and that food cannot be pro-
duced from land that is held out of use.
She doesn't see that all land held out of
use can be taxed into use. A heavy
tax upon unused land would force
it's use and that would get us more food,
oil and minerals. Such production would
stimulate manufacture generally. A
tax such as referred to would not only
produce food. 1t would produce rev.
enue. By such taxation everything
could be done that price-fx king has tried
to do. If we untaxed the farmers
barns and houses and machinery and
improvements we'd keep down his
operating cost. So if we untaxed fac
tories and machines and tools we'd
increase the supply of manufactured
goods. A heavy tax upon land held out
of use will increase the supply of every
thing and do it sooner than any other
device yet suggested, if indeed any other
device will do it at all.
