One of the amusing things of the
week is a letter written by James Do
Ian of Platteville, to the Fcnnimore
Times. Mr.. Dolan compliments the
Times for it's fairness
Mr.. Dolans letter will probably not
be answered in the Times but for the
benefit of our public we will give it
here as it represents in it's full flow
er the ingenious reasoning actuating
the mental processes of thoce who are
for" the municipal courts. Here it
is:
Platteville, Wis, May 2S, 1919.
FennimOre Times.
Gentlemen:
AS one feeling a deep interest, prin-
cipally as a citizen, in the proposed
law establishing g. municipal court
for this county, | wish to express nv
appreciation of your paper for it's ut
most fairness as shown in articles
pertaining to this court. You have
given us, your readers, a full, fair and
unbiased report of all proceedings on
this matter to date
While there has been some feeling in
the matter can not see how it would
be possible for any one, wishing to
be fair, to criticise in any way the
part your paper has taken. We, who
are in favor of the court, feel salts
fled that it will become just as popu-
lar when established as the county
court in this city. Any attempt to
abolish holding terms of the county
court here would meet with the con-
demnation of every citizen of the
southern part of Grant county. | hon
estly feel that the new court, when
established will become just as pop
ular in short time
With best wishes to yourself, to
the Times and all connected with it,
1 remain very sincerely yours,
JAS. DOLAN.
Will Henry succumb to sweet words
and support the bill or will he oppose
it? The people await his decision
with interest. This is the crucial
point in Henry Roethe's career.

The Herald has pitifully dared" to
ask several times why, if the people
would welcome the court if they "un-
derstood." they have neither been in
formed when the matter was taken
before the legislature nor consulted
in the matter? Evidently the "educa-
ton" will begin after the matter has
been rammed down their threats. We
have listened in vain for an answer
but none was forthcoming.
Dob
In effect those pro-court admit that
the people are against their idea and
their sole argument is that THEY
ARE CONVINCED" that the court
would be popular in the course of
time. The argument is unconvincing
to say the least

while not meeting the Federal aid
by sSIS,l5s. the report OF the sub
committee recommends that the auto

be used on county roads under the

must match this 100000 per year with
county funds. the Fcderal-aid fund of

continue TO proclaim tho absurdity of
appropriating money for county roads,
which the counties must match with
an equal amount. when the money TO
match the state funds to the extent of

About 80 per cent of the automo-
