JUDGE MCGEE.
(By Gunnar Bjornson.)

- ONE there who maintain that thos
! who take their own lives are towards. N,
one who knew Judge McGee will ever &C
cuse him of that. He was a man of both phys
cal and moral courage, as anyone we'll knows
who acquainted with him.
Before going on the bench two years ago
Judge MCGEE had been employed in different
public capacities. During the war period he
was fuel administrator for the federal govern
ment and took very active part in carrying
on war work. His uncompromisng Ameri
canism brought him many enemies at that time
1t was impossible for Judge MCGEE to do
anything half-heartedly He threw himself body
and soul, into anything he did
That is why he worked so hard as Judge and
tried to keep his court calendar up to date.
But the task was too great. *
He said in statement that he left behind
him that eighty per cent of the litigation of
the federal courts was liquor and narcotic cases
that should by rights be tried in the state courts.
In summing up his remarks on this he said:
II started in to try and end this litigation but
it has ended me-"
In another place in this statement he says
II wonder whether it is worth while to lead the
strenuous life that I have led? Or whether
a more normal and quiet, if more selfish, life
on the whole is not better? I do not know.
The people who benefit thereby willing that
a man do that which benefits them and when
the emergency is over they forget the sacrifices
made for them.
How strikingly true not the words o.
the Judge that, "the people forget the sacrifices
made for them"
The public is peculiar "animal" 1t has
little, if any, sense of gratitude. On the whole,
il pays its servants poorly and drives them with
the merciless hand Of unfeeling taskmaster.
No matter how conscientiously officials DO
their duty, most of the time they get but kicks
and knocks for their pains. AS whole the
people are tickle and unthinking and swayed by
little things.
The incentive for doing his best must come
to the public official through approval OF his
cwn conscience-the peoples readiness to reward
will never furnish such incentive.
Many man has spent life serving the
neople and in the end died of broken heart
few cared and still fewer understood
We have societies for the prevention OF cru
city to cats and dogs-why not devote little
time to the consideration of the cruelty vlslteh
upon the other animals, the public servant

And now It comes out that Alice Roosevelt
1onpworth has always worshipped the Apostle
-worshipped him to such an extent that she
has named her young daughter Paullna. III
moves one to wonder how Paul would regard TINS
devotee of his if he could revisit the earth. Ii
would seem that there is little for the "go-as-i-
please" Alice to worship in the austere and sacfl
fice-demandng Paul. But at least the world
will compliment Mrs. Longworth upon her Sc
lection of a hero.

this story of the late Marion Burton. We on.
time heard Mrs. Burton laughingly relate tn;

derneath the laugh it was easy to sense tn,
pride of wife in husband big enough to d.
this trivial, mental thing without protest"
1t was shortly after the Burtons had
moved in, and before they had become orient
ed to the requirements of the menage, that
they were called upon to entertain several
distinguished Britons who were visiting
American universities. Late that evening,
after the guests had retired, DR.. Burton
went about the house, assuring himself that
nothing remained undone for the comfort OF
his guests and the security Of the household.
He came into Mrs. Buttons room smiling
perplexedly and beckoned to his WIFE To-
gether they went out into the hall, and DR..
Burton pointed silently to the other door
ways. There, outside each door was a pair
of shoes for each occupant, placed in the
manner of Britons, for proper cleaning and
polishing. DR.. Burton looked at his wife.
1t was needless to remark to her their lack
of man servants. They had not, as yet,
butler house man in their establishment
Indeed, their servitors were two in number,
and long since retired after busy evening.
Then he smiled again, collected those shoes
and took them into the basement, where he
cleaned and polished them in his best man.

We are all in favor of drastic laws to re-
press the wrong doer-provided they do not
hit too close home, says an exchange We are
all agreed that bootlegging is sin, but in case
we should want to buy drink we ought to get
it without trouble. We know that auto speed
ing and careless driving should be punished, but
in case we happen to speed up to 55 miles on a
busy highway, no idiotc cop should be permitted
to interfere We know that all taxable property
should be properly assessed, but if we can just
get our own pared down bit, that's fine and
dandy. Laws are all very fine things, but only
for the other fellow-not us.-Albert Lea Tri-
