THE new CHIEF JUSTICE
MIR. Samuel B. Wilson, Protestant,
Mason, Shriner, Elk. In Every
Sense a Self-made Man.

The death of Chief Justice, Calvin
L. Brown, left vacancy that created
much speculation in political circles
as to whom the high place of honor
would be offered. The politicians OF
the state made many guesses, but
practically all Of them guessed entire
ly wrong. Mr.. Samuel B. Wilson OF
Mankato was the final choice of Gov
ernor Preus, and a most excellent ap-
pointment the Governor made, this
time.
Mr.. Wilson has been practicing law
in Mankato for many years. Early In
his adult life, seemingly, decided not
to be an ordinary ofice-hunting poll
tician for he has not been candidate
for an elective since he was a young
man.
Chief Justice Wilson Che is proper
" so named now was born in Mis-
souri, fifty years ago. He received his
early education in the public schools
and later entered the Mankato Nor
NAL School (now Mankato State
Teachers College,. When he finished
his course in that institution he at
tended the University of Minnesota
and was graduated in 1896. He was
admitted to the state bar the same
year.
Two years later, Chief Justice Will
son served as probate judge Of Blue
Earth country and lated served three
terms as county attorney.
Chief Justice Wilson 32-Degree Mason
During the World war he served in
various capacities. First as director
of the safety commission for Blue
Earth county; then as government ap-
peal agent and food administrator
and later director of the Bureau OF
War Industries for his district. He
also represented the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance as field agent. In ad-
dition to these duties he served as
president of the Blue Earth County
Safety association and was member
of the legal advisory board.
Chief Justice Wilson is a member
of the national, state and county bar
associations. He is Protestant and
a thirty-second degree Mason, a
Shriner and an Elk.
Never Been a Corporation Lawyer
While he has been identified prom
inently with state politics, he has al
ways taken an active interest and has
been of the leaders in his district. He
has never been a corporation lawyer.
He has never before been appointed
to political Office. His law practice
was one of the largest in the state.
He married Mankato school teach
er, Miss Daisy Sheehan, in 1899.
They have three children, S. Bailey
Wilson, the only son, is senior at
the University of Minnesota; two
daughters Phyllis, IA years old and
Carol, IL years old. They attend the
public schools of Mankato.
On good authority we learn that
Chief Justice Wilson did not seek the
appointment.
Mr.. Wilson enjoys golf and loves
Guernsey cows. He has a fine herd
of cows in which he takes keen
interest. The new Chief Justice is a
self-made having worked his way
through college never asking favors
contending always that honest, hard
work brought due rewards.

PALISADE AMUSEMENT PARK
STILL DRAWING CROWDS

recently-returned-home English
man upon being asked how the United
States struck him replied, Every
thing jolly well splendid, the women
beautiful, the men excellent chaps
and New York marvellous city; only
one thing against them-they have no
bananas" And so it is with Palisades
Amusement Park-everything going
along spendidly. An average of well
over 100000 pass the turnstiles week
ly. Sixty huge sightseeing buses are
meeting all the New York ferries and
carrying patrons from a twenty-five
mile radius into the Park without any
confusion, delay, trouble Of any kind
or high-handed methods. The press is
in high acclaim over the cleanliness
and wholesomeness of this hundred
acre pleasure amphitheater, rapidly
assuming the proportions of nation
al institution, and, as the Englishman
remarked, they have no trouble"

PARAMOUNT WEEK AT
THE LOCAL THEATRES

Next week is known all over the
country as Paramount Week, mean
ing, of course, that the leading thea
tres in the various towns and cities Of
the country are to exhibit Paramount
pictures during that period.
The local theatres are up-to-the-min-
ute, and all have booked some splen-
did Paramount productions. We take
pleasure in referring to the Para
mount advertisement that appears in
tkis issue, and you will see for your
self the character of the productions
which you will be privileged to wit
ness.
Directing Manager Carney of the
Grantwood theatre is booking as many
Paramount pictures this year as pos
sible because, he says. they rank
among the finest an exhibitor can OBJ
tain.
Take advantage of the special book
irgs that are advertised and see these
big-town pictures at small-town prices.

Silzer Said to Want
End Trolley Strike

Governor Silzer, irritated at the
failure of other state and municipal
agencies to secure resumption of troll
ley service throughout the state, will
himself act today to get the cars OF
the Public Service Railway Company
in operation.
The nature Of the action he will
take is not known, but there is every
reason to believe that 1t will be Wig
orous and expeditions.
No information could be obtained
from the executive in verification of
the report. and as a corollary no in
formation could be obtained from him
as to the nature Of the proposed
action.
The Governor, it is known, while
not talking during the progress OF the
negotiations to end the trouble, has
been doing some intense "watchful
waiting" and, with the training of his
judicial experience, has been analyz-
ing the situation from legal stand
point. He now plans to apply his
studies after the multiplicity of dick.
ers have proven useless.
Courses Open to Executive
Several courses of action are open
to the Governor, according to various
lawyers, and he may exercise two or
even three, either in the State Court
Of Chancery or in the federal courts.
One is the application of rule Of
equity, sanctioned from ancient times.
This is to apply for the appointment
of a receiver to manage the property
in the interest of the public.
Another possible course is for the
Governor to throw one of the sub
sidiary lines of the Public Service
Corporation into the hands of state
receiver under the general railroad
act. This particular line is the Public
Service Railroad Company, part or
the system between Elizabeth and
Trenton, which is incorporated under
the same law as steam railroads and
not under that applying to street rail-
ways.-Hudson Dispatch, Friday.

"Just Fighting"

Dorothy and Junior were playing.
Something went wrong, and the two
came to blows. Dorothy, the larger,
was giving Junior pummeling when
a neighbor ran out to save Junior,
who, however, was offering resistance.
"My goodness!" she cried. What are
YOU children doing?" Dorothy looked
up shyly through her long lashes and
replied sweetly, "Oh, we are just fight

Wedding Rings for Men

At one time most men wore rings to
Indicate the state of their affections.
An eighteenth century writer aftirms;
"If a gentleman wants a wife he wears
a ring on the first finger OF the left
hand; if he is engaged he wears 1t on
the second finger; if married, on the
third, and on the fourth if he never

"Of the first water" means "of the

is used as a gauge of the transparency
of precious stones, especially dia-
monds. A perfectly fiawless stone is
one "of the first water" Hence, "a

Anderson A. C. Wins Doubleheader
Displaying their old time speed and
skill, the Anderson A. c. won a dou-
bleheader on Sunday with apparent
case.
In the first game they decisively
beat the Fort Lee Juniors for the Sec
ond time within a month. yelling
horst allowed two scattered hits and
but for errors would have scored a
shutout. The A. A. c. scored nine
times to their opponents three. The
game was practically won after the
second inning, in which the Grant
wood nine scored four times.
On Sunday afternoon the Palisade
Park Juniors travelled to the A. A.
C.'s diamond at Palisade and return
ed home sadder but wiser team.
Led by Wellinghorst, who smashed
out three doubles and two singles out
of five times at bat, the home team
won by the score of 1915. Every man
on the team made at least one hit.
Red" Korb continued his heavy bat
ting streak making four safe blows
out of seven times at bat for the
two games.
Over the weekend the Anderson
A. C. will play host to three strong
teams. On Saturday, Sunday and
Monday afternoons at 8 p. IN. they
will be seen in action at the Pali-
sade Fairgrounds Sigel, Anderson
and Wellinghorst are slated to pitch.

ing to be elected mayor of this bor-
ough regardless of whether he is a
Democrat or a Republican and largely
through Republican votes because of
the present existence of the political
machine that has adopted and lived
up to policy Of rule or ruin" ever
since l have been in the borough.
You canot deny 1t. 1t is always the
same. 1t does not make any differ
ence how many appeals or dissents
are made over things that the bor-
cugh fathers undertake to do in this
borough. No appeal will change any
thing. Did you ever see an action of
the council changed by any appeal?
Not yet you haven't. The time has
not come and won't come when things
can be run right until you change the
system. Personally l do not mind
saying that the great desideratum,
the great demand, the most urgent
need we have in this borough today is
leadership. We are the most indiffer
ent people, in the full meaning of the
word, that | have ever seen. There is
not a man in the borough who has the
CUTS to get up and face the people and
do it with such undeniable emphasis
and that great essential that l am
speaking Of ere-determination and
of demanding fair play for the people,
that his leadership will force convic-
ton. You see in the report Of the
meeting the other night t1e idea of
begging a man to take an office.
What you need to do is to take club
and force him in IL he is worthy.
Draft him If you have to. Mayor
White did not need to be coerced ex-
cept for the show of the thing. You
can bet your last bottom dollar that
he wants to be mayor Of this town or
he would not let his name go before
the people. Mayor White is no ad-
miring friend of mine, but l will say
definitely and positively that l have
nothing against the man, but l have
always abominated some Of his meth
ods. / will always abominate the
ways Of man who will go into an
election like he did the last time he
was chosen mayor of the borough
and say to the people, ELECT me this
time and l will Immediately place be-
fore the people petition for commits
sion government" and then not keep
his word. l have understood that he
was prevented by two men in Palisade
from keeping his word, and / would
like to know If that is true. If 1t is
true it shows how little OF man he
really is or at least how small man
he was at that time. l don't care
what you do In the way Of calling mo-
tions or naming candidates, but just
getting up in meetings like this and
putting up a man as an excuse to fill
party requirements is not the kind OF
stuff think elections should be made
of.
The officers nominated were, Samuel
Corker, mayor; Arthur Kerwein,
George Kipp, councilmen; John Soul
lion, assessor; Charles Bender, collec-
tor; Recorder William E. Ennis, JUS
tice of the peace.
Following a little talk by Mr.. Cor
ker, in which he promised If elected
to be mayor of all the people, the
meeting adjourned.
