CIRCUIT COURT NOTES

In the case of Schultz VS.. Andrews
and Co. the jury answered the ques-
tions in, the special verdict in favor of
Schultz. He bought tire company stock
for $696 and claimed that the defend
ant company had misrepresented
things to induce him to buy.
A case that excited considerable in
terest was criminal case against
p. w. Cavanaugh of Maple Grove who
was charged with having obstructed
public highway. The road that runs
north from the Reedsville east limits
was laid out past Cavanaugh's farm
about seventeen years ago. 1t has
never been used in the summer and
Cavanaugh claimed it was not a high
way and fenced it up. No work had
been done on it except very little the
first few years. The defendant made
a considerable showing that the road
had never been a highway or if it had
been that it ceased to be a highway by
public neglect His own recognition
of it as highway in former years was
against him. A jury in Municipal
court convicted him and on this ap-
peal under very explicit instructions
as to the law by the court the jury
again found him guilty.
The court on Friday took up the
case against Edward Miller, a barber,
charged with having tapped the till of
his employer, John Kaufman, after
bsiness hours. The principal testi-
mony against Miller is a confession
made to the police He says that he
understood them to promise him i'm
munity if he confessed and that he
agreed to admit the commission of the
offense but asserted his Innocence at
the same time. The police admit that
he said he was not guilty Immediately
after the confession.
The case went to the jury about
o'clock Monday afternoon and they
returned in about half hour with a
verdict of mot guilty" and the young
man was discharged.
The court then took up the trial of
Behnke VS.. Reinhard Kroening, a fore
closure in which both sides allege
fraud. These allegations are probably
what moved the court to put it on the
jury calendar. The defendant, seeking
to prevent foreclosure asserts that he
gave the mortgage years ago without
real consideration when he screwed
himself to be in danger of having a
large judgment rendered against him
and that the present owner of the
mortgage knew all about this situa-
tion when he took the mortgage from
the original holder. 1t is long COM
plicated story without much in it to
the credit of any of the parties con-
cerned.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening with all members
present,
Mr.. C. c. West for the Shipbuilding
Co. asked for permission to withdraw
the petition for the vacation of Cedar
street on the island" saying that the
company had not anticipated that
there could be any opposition to the
request as no one would appear to be
affected except the company. The mat
ter is closed

Salaries for the year were fixed as
reported by the finance committee at
the last previous meeting without the
change of a figure. Requests for addi-
tional increases for the city treasurer
and the utility superintendent were
| ignored. Although the aldermens sti-
pend was boosted from 500 per an
mum to $500, only the seven aldermen
elected in April this year will get the
raise. The other seven holdovers can
not under the law get the benefit OF
their own act in increasing the salary.
| The mayor elected this spring will get
the new salary of $500. This has al
ways been considered a contingent
fund" which, although not accounted
for, was supposed to be used mainly
| for public purposes for which no
funds were available, or emergencies.
The big paving project looks like
reality. The preliminary proceedings
were pushed along. The underground
work on the streets to be paved will be
commenced as soon as the weather
permits. Specifications for the paving
were submitted. 1t will probably all
be concrete surfacing.
Clerk Zander, Attorney Il. l.. Kel-
ley and Alderman Wergin were named
as a legislative committee to look aft
er pending legislation at Madison af-
fecting cities. The state Municipal
Leagues lobby keeps cities posted on
such matters and notified of commit
tee hearings on them.
On Yogels initiative bowling team
representing official Manitowoc will
compete at the big state tournament
to be held at Green Bay next week.
The city will try to land the 1920
tourney. There are 53S five men teams
entered.
Vogel made a vigorous protest
against the street car company leav-
ing the paving torn up at rail points
all winter. He thought better tempor-
airy repairs could be made till the
welding could be done.
The city came to a settlement with
the White Construction Co. on the
small balance due for paving in 1912.
They accepted $400 on claim of $500.
Schenian objected again to allowing
contractors claims upon the mere re-
port of the city engineer as to the per-
| formance of the work, time honored
custom, and insisted that no payment
of this kind should be authorized un-
| less verified claims are on file. The
matter was referred.

A canary's ears are at the back OF

no outer ear such as animals have,
but simply small opening which is
covered by feathers. 1t is quite sur

very acute hearing which they do
while lacking the lleshy flap which en-
ables the animals to catch sounds.

STATES WANT ALL PUBLIC LAND

One of the biggest jokes of the United States and all the states in the United States since John Smith and Pocahontas' time has been the pub. lie land" question. With all the criticism of the general land office" there was always one thing in their favor: They kept so far behind the times that they could make money by procrasti- nation-f0r the government. However, the land office did not figure it that way; they figured that prompt action would put them out of busi- ness. A few hundred years one way or the other would not hurt the land; in fact, the soil would grow richer as years passed, if some darned rancher did not take toll from it. And, since all the available land back East had been given over to the people who stood in on the $1.00 acreage why should it be necessary to let lot of wild and woolly people get in on the deal out West and make living?
 Now there is a well-defined movement to have all public land turned over by the govern ment to the different states and let the states handle it. The Sun believes such action would result badly for the settlers and would be home steaders and stockmen. They should see what is being done now with state lands and govern themselves accordingly. As it is the government land officials can not discriminate very much un- der the present system-at least it necessitates a few trips to Washington. If the public lands were turned over to the state, the least that can be said is that carfare is a heap cheaper to Phoenix, and the wheels within wheels are closer to the touch, but not sufficiently so to materially benefit the little man" who happens to get in the way.

LARK, FROM THE TOMB!

Claude Kitchin made an old-fashioned Demo- cratic speech against protection the other day in the House of Representatives. He declared that the effect of protective tariff was to increase the cost of the necessities of life, make the rich richer and the poor poorer, build up trusts and monopolies--all the old free-trade stuff Evi- dently Mir. Kitchin overlooks the fact that we have had his kind of tariff law on the statute books for five years. Has it solved, according to promise the high cost of living problem? Has it wiped out the plutocrats? More millionaires have been created under it, by speculative rather than productive operations, too, than had been developed during the entire previous history of the nation. Has it removed from the peoples backs the burden of federal taxation? Kitchin's ways an1 means committee levied more taxes than had been imposed on the people in all the nations previous history.
 . How ludricrous today are the old-time Dem- ocratic skibboleths! We have today a Demo- cratic tariff and cost of living from two to three times as high as in the days of the "damnable Payne-Aldrich law" We have more profteering, more unjust exploitation of the public, than ever before was known in American history. The statesman who now perpetrates the old bunk about the tariff being the mother of trusts and profiteers belongs in the same class with Brother Jordan, who declared: "The sun do more." By repeating it now he proves that he never believed it himself, and in it's utterance he was merely demagogical and insincere.
