The matter of contributing to the
European relief fund was discussed
and it was decided that the PROPOSE
ton be held up until w. H. Smith
could communicate with the American
Red Cross and ascertain whether or
not the local Red Cross funds could
be used for this purpose.
It was voted to empower the presi-
dent to appoint committee of three
to solicit funds for European relief if
it were found impossible to use the
local Rcd Cross funds.
The president called for a report
from the special road committee as to
what action the Sherburne county
commissioners had taken relative to
the matter of rebuilding the Baldwin
Spencer Brook road leading into the
village. Fred Newton reported that
conditions looked very favorable for
getting considerable good work done
on this road the coming season and
that assurances had been given by
the Shcrburne county board that it
would do all in its power to push the
project through this year.
A resolution was adopted to the
effect that the commercial club is
strongly in favor of the village council
using all available road and bridge
funds for putting in good shape the
village streets connecting the Bald
win-Spenccr Brook road where the
same enters the corporate limits with
the Scenic highway in said village
and that the club recommends such &C.
ton. The roads committee was in
structed to invite all farmers, county
commissioners and town board mem
bers interested in this Baldwin-Spen-
Ger Brook road proposition to meet
with the club at it's next meeting on
March % for the purpose of discus
sing ways and means Of assisting in
making the project success, and the
entertainment committee was instruct
ed to provide refreshments and smokes
for the occasion. All good roads en-
thusiasts should put forth an effort to
attend.
The next regular meeting will be
held on April 10.

Governor Prcus acted wisely when
he decided not to call special election
to fill the seat rendered vacant by the
death of Senator Nord of Interna-
tional Falls. The session will be vary
near its close before the election could
be completed end the new senator
could not arrive in time to take any
part in the deliberations of the legis-
lature. An election would therefore
impose needless expense on the peo-
pie of the sixty-second district.

PREUS' MESSAGE TIMELY.


We supported j. A. O. Preus in the
campaign last fall because we be-
lieved he would make a mighty good
governor. Whatever Mr.. Preus' enc
mics may say of him they must admit
that he is no weakling and Minnesota
needs a strong man in the governors
chair. The message that he delivered
to the legislature last Friday on the
necessity Of enforcing law and order
in this state was exceedingly timely.
In commenting on the murder of
Lisle Nicely last December the Union
stated that it was high time for the
county or state officials to take a
hand in matters if the police in St.
Paul and Minneapolis could not handle
the crime situation in those cities.
Governor Preus respects his oath Of
office and intends to fulfill the duties
imposed upon him by the constitution
of this state, including the enforce
ment of law and order in the state.
His message will be read by hundreds
of criminals and potential criminals,
and those men and women will realize
that a note Of warning has been
sounded which it will be exceedingly
prudent to heed. Discretion is the
better part of valor and Governor
Preus' attitude will undoubtedly have
a wholesome effect on the crime situa-
ton in Minnesota.

Will Hays is combing the country
for a $4,000 a year railroad man to
appoint to the office Of assistant post
master general, which pays $4,000 a
year. This man would have the super
vision of the railway mail service, the
air mail service and allied activities.
1t doesn't seem possible that Post
master General Hays can secure an
official of this sort for the stipend
attached to the office, but, as Will is
declared to be miracle man, he may
perhaps succeed by appealing to the
patriotism of some capable person
who puts country above remunera-
ton.

The State

JUDGE SEASE HEARD
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Charge to Grand Jury at Ahdsfson
Call. Attention to Violations
of the Law.

! The State.
Anderson, Feb. Tn the opening
! of the court Of general sessions here
| today Judge Thomas S. Sease pade
strong charge to the grand jury.
In this charge Judge Sease said that
! claws are enforced to make life,
| property and liberty safe. How many
of you jurors believe your folk are
safe at home? They would be safe
if the laws were enforced.
"This spasm of Nav enforcement
may be all very good, but It there IS
wave of crime, it is the result OF
our mistakes in the pasts the result OF
our relaxation of laws. # a man
knows that if he carries d deadly wea-
pan or violates the laws his punish
ment will be swift and sure, he will
think often before he commits the
act, but if he thinks he can pull the
wool over the eyes Of the jury, ne
will hardly hesitate to wreak his own
vengeance, violate the laws and hope
to be acquitted through perjured tes-
timony by fool jury.
."What is the cause? There is more
than one man killed each day in the
wear in South Carolina. We should,
however, reflect that IS per cent. OF
these case are negroes, who kill each
other, and though the law is admin
istered Justly to both white and black
alike. we must assume the response
ibilitv for the record made by these,
the. negroes who are, even now, bu'
a very few centuries removed from
barbarisn,. In heather Japan not one
twentieth homicides occur as in South
Carolina, yet at church you often see
2 collection taken for the heathen to
Christianize them. Not that foreign
missions are not al! right, but before
we 90 too far, it might be well to
sweep before our own doorstep.
1t is an appalling fact that 365
men must bite the dust before the
guns of murderers in South Carolina
every year. Some of you jurors or
YOU petit jurors or even l may be
among the 365 this year.
"The court must listen both for
and against, however, for the en-
forcement of law is surely the poor
mans benefit. Law enforcement
means acquitting the innocent as
much as conviction Of the guilty."

"Why even it is said by some gen.
