COUNTY MUST DEFEND SUIT |
BACKED BY ROAD BUILDERS.
Foley Brothers eoa Want $50 900 Additional for Work
on Pond o. Lace rea.han Road, Built ~ St. Lou. 4
County = Wisconsin and Carlton County, Mimi.

Messrs. Fryberger, Fulton, Hoshour &
zeismer, Of Duluth, are of counsel.
Just what the kindly old county has
to say in defense in this demand for
over $S3, 900, is not real plain. The
legal matters incident to the suit are
in the hands Of Charles E. Adams. So
far. he has failed TO file his answer
with the clerk Of the district court, al
though he certainly has served his re.
ply on the plaintiffs. They, in turn,
have filed a general denial Of the coun.
ty s allegations in its answer. whatever
they may be. Here is a public docu-
ment not yet accessible to the public.
It is known, however, that the county
radically disagrees with Messrs. Foley
Bros. as to the quantity of different
materials moved in the. construction Of
the Fond du Lac Wrenshall road. :,
The contractors claim pay for moving
50, s87 Gu. yds. of earth and the county
admits the handling of 109, 949 Gu. yds.
As stated, the contract price was 81
cents a yard for earth excavation.
The contractors demand payment for
handling 1879 Gu. yds. Of loose rock,
while the county admits that they
moved $500 yards at $1.10 per yard.
The plaintiffs in this action claim to
have handled 1882 Gu. yds. of solid
rock, while the county admits that only
1877 EN-. yards at $2.25 q yard were
moved. F. -r-... -
The difference in figures between the
contractors and the road engineers is
said 10 be due to differences in the in
depreciation Of the specifications. The
road engineers believe that the specifi-
cations mean and should mean what
they they say, If the Rip-saw has the
correct idea, while the contractors in
terpfet loose rock as an intermediate
classification, hence it need not be rock
at all. The question seems, therefore.
to be one for the court to decide and,
outside Of the heavy expense Of litiga.
tion, that fact is welcomed by county
and state road engineers. In the future,
after a decision from the highest court
OF the state, where the case certainly
will 60, it is assumed that then there
win be no grounds for differences of
opinion between county or state and
contractors. ~. - t.....
Local road engineers maintain that
the county has no power to classify ma

IN THE LIGHT OF FRANkNESS

The report of a preliminary meet
ling of delegates to the convention at
Baltimore of the League of Women
Voters places certain matters con-
nected with that movement in the
light OF frankncss, which may prove
interesting to our readers.
1t appears from this that Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the
New York City League of Women
Voters called a meeting of delegates
present the day before the opening of
the convention. Addressing this
meeting she asked: is anyone sat
isfied with the way it (the League)
works? Wouldn't you like to see it
put more women into office?"
This appearing to meet with quite
general approval she continued:
I'VE ought to cut out the welfare
and hygiene bills, or at least lessen
our efforts for them" she said. Now,
| believe in child welfare and all that
just as much as anybody does, but
don't think that is the job of the
League of Women Voters. There are
plenty of people to do that. We ought
to go in for women in political posi-
tions and go in hard. We ought to
have more women in Congress. And
we ought to have one woman al least
in, bo ia nd Lot
of them in the state legislatures"
The Oklahoma delegation strolled
into the room just as Miss Hay took a
shot at the woman now in Congress,
Miss Alice Robertson, of Oklahoma.
I'VE want to say that Oklahoma
women are not supporters of the
Oklahoma Representative" declared
tn r spokesman, amid cheers.
We are under the impression that
Aunt Alice" was elected to office be-
cause she had done such effective
welfare work among her people. To
ho sure she is opposed to the Shep-
pard- Towncr bill and as an anti-suf-
fragist was opposed to many Of the
women now prominent in the Okla
homa delegation to the convention,
which in part at least will explain
their evident hostility to her. We
think the impression given by Miss
Robertson in her recent visit to
Maine and in her record in Congress
is that of capable. honest, compe-
tent legislator. The platform on
which she was elected was: II am
Christian, I am an American, l am
Republican" She received l.1SS
votes and her Democratic opponent
received 1890. This is a small mar
(gin to go and come on, especially

The disaster at Monastir evokes the
sympathy of the civilized world. This
was the historic city from which the
Serbs, after the long hesitation of the
Allies under Sarrail at Monasti~,
marched up the Nardar Valley TO the
rescue of their own land, completing
the long circuit that began in 1915
when the Austrians at last broke in
at Belgrade.
Generous private p!lila nthropy on
the part of Americans has received
the grateful recognition of King Al
exander and his people. But Serbia
has set a fine example OF sclf-help to
her neichbors. "The Poor Mans Par

were proportionately reduced In
this question of a standing army in
America we are thinking little if any
about our relations with foreign
countries, though the need of a
genuine nucleus for big army is APP
parent We are thinking especially
of the need of policing the country.
Certainly the request of General
Pershing and Secretary Weeks is not
indicative of any desire for aggrand-
izement nor does it contain any men,

national affairs. Moreover they both
are conservative men OF excellent

what they are talking about So far
as We have been able to learn their
judgment should meet with approval.

HOW BIG AN ARMY?

There are few competent to deter
mine out of their own knowledge
the limit that should he placed on
our standing army, All seem to
agree that II shouldn't he any larger
than is practical. No one is sug-
costing that II is needed to annex
territory, tight Canada, Mexico or the
.rarancsr. Probably large ma jority
believe our chief dependence should
be in a properly trained militia
rather than in large standing army.
But this cannot he without officers
20 train that militia. There are In
this country around a hundred and
ten million people and one hundred
and nifty thousand soldiers is not
biz army IN comparison.
General Pershing-and surely no
one is better convcrsant with the
evils Of unpreparedness than is he
expresses the opinion that had this
country been prepared there would
have been no war with Germany
and that the like would have hap
pened IL the North had been better
prepared before the Civil War. This
IL OF course contrary to what many
preach and some believe. They argue
that the nations that begin a war are
those which are prepared. that hav-
ing power they are tempted to mis-
use II. Yet in arriving at their con-
fdence in their own ability to win
they undoubtedly make comparisons
with the conditions OF preparedness
in other countries and from these
draw conclusions. Nations no more
than individuals do not in cool blood
pick a fight with those who appear
capable Of whipping them. For these
reasons 4 suitable proportion in pre-
paredness Is seen to exert very
great influence toward keeping the
peace. That is why there is so much
OF promise in the naval Limitations Of
