JUSTICE HOLMES, AT 85, |s HON0RED BY
 HIS ASSOCIATES

WASHINGTON, March 19 (P). = This was a date of personal signifl. canoe to members of the Supreme Court It was the Seth birthday of the Senor Associate Justice, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
 The high esteem of which his as sociates hold Justice Holmes was re- gently disclosed during the argument of a case. An opinion rendered for the court in a previous case by the distinguished Massachusetts jurist was a serious obstacle in the way of success of counsel addressing the court, and he boldly assailed it, talk ing issue with the reasoning and the conclusions.
 A smile overspread the face of the Justice under criticism, but counsel was unabashed. Chief Justice Taft, at whose right sits the Senior Asso- ciate, chuckled and his sides shook as he enjoyed the spectacle. After he had had his laugh he advised the intrepid lawyer: You may oppose Justice Holmes, but we do not. We obey him.

horses are all feebleminded and as
fatal as can be. We are prone, as
we grow older, to look back with
distant distrust, and to say, in
words that smolder, that the old
things are the best. But the old
things were phoney as compared
with modern things, and an auto
beats pony all to smithereens, by

or buckskin or a bay, you'd be
saying things immoral every minute

grow wetter with the tears of vain
regret, for the world is growing bet
ter; progress is the one safe bet"

Not long ago, a travelling man
visited certain small town and
sold the proprietor of its general
store an order of jewelry When
the jewelry arrived, it was not as
represented and the merchant con-
sequently returned it.
But the wholesale house neverthe-
less attempted to collect The bill,
and drew a sight draft on the mer-
chant through local bank, which
returned the draft unhonored. The
wholesaler then wrote to the post
master about the financial standing
of the merchant, and the postmas-
ter replied that it was o. X. By
return mail the wholesale dealer re-
quested him to collect the bill and
he received the following reply:
"The undersigned is the merchant
on whom you attempted to palm
off your worthless goods. The un-
dersigned is president and owner of
the bank to which you sent your
sight draft. The undersigned is the
postmaster to whom you wrote, and

and all law-ablding citizens enough
the administrators of the laws
would become so frightened ana

zetti to escape their deserts for or
of the foulest crimes committed IN
this country.

set up a reign of anarchy. In all
probability, the sentence OF lie I'm,

not the bombings and killings taken
place and the ''itches," soviets
lists" and other foreign influences
tried to make a monkey OF the
courts and laws of the land. There
may have been sympathy among
others for the condemned but every
bombing and anti-government dem
onstration weakened the cause.
What the next move will be on
the part of the sundry paid col,
lectors, paid speakers and paid
lawyers for the defense committee
is hard to tell. A full statement
of the receipts and disbursements
OF the defense fund would prove in
teresting reading. Also a state
ment of the amount received by
them of the million for defense
on the part of the families of the
executed would not be amiss at this
.ime.
Now that the last chapter has
been written in the Sacco and Van
zetti case the defense fund col
lectors will probably have to go to
work which would be worse than
going to a good, clean American
prison for most of them. We have
a suggestion to make. Have the
government endow a defense fund
and then use it to buy one-way
tickets Tor several hundred anar-
chists in the country (this agita-
ton has shown are here) back to
the country they came from. Not
hearing anything to the contrary,
we second the motion.

After travelling several hundred
miles over Minnesota's highways
running into various sections of the
state, the writer has come to the
conclusion that there is not a state
in the Union where the highways
are so plainly marked as on the
B b cock highways criss-crossing
Minnesota. Every consideration has
been given to the safety of the mo-
torist; curves crossroads, railroad
crossings, narrow roads and danger
points are clearly marked, and the
greatest factor for safety lies in
the automobile drivers themselves.
Accidents may be minimized if mo-
florists will see that their brakes,
lights and steering gears are in good
conditions and will practice little
precaution where dangers are liable
to arise.-Osakis Review. This con-
clusion was arrived at after Editor
Bronson had returned to his home
after his trip to the North Shore
and Ely during the recent editorial
outing.

The National Industrial Board an
nounced that the purchasing price
Of a dollar stood at the highest
point since the year 1924. On the
basis of living costs the board said
the dollar this month stands at GIT
as compared with the 1914 dollar.
1t was lowest in June 1920 when its
purchasing power shrunk to 48.9
per cent of the pre-war dollar. De-
clining living costs were given by
the board as the reason for the in
crease in the dollars purchasing
power. Average wage earnings,
the board said, show a remarkably
steady upward trend, average earn
ings per worker employed in June
being even slightly higher than
they were at the beginning of 1925.
The average total cost of living in
the United States, as computed by
the board, decreased 1.6 per cent
from the middle of June to the mid
die of July, due mostly to an aver
age decline in retail food prices of
3.S per cent. Contributing factors,
rents and retail clothing prices.

CORRECT! OSCAR.

A stranger visited Warren bust
ness places a few days prior to the
opening of the Marshall county fair
and solicited advertising for a pro-
gram that was to be distributed to
fair patrons. He collected for the
space in advance, ordered his pro-
gram from the office of the Warren
Sheaf but was to pay for them
when he called for them for distri-
button. He failed to show up and
the Sheaf and business men of War
rem held the sack. 1t would be i'm
possible for the local newspapers to
"pulr' such a stunt but people will
trust the clever strange SOLICITOR
Red Lake Falls Gazette.
And that is not the half of it,
either. A week hardly passes but
what some smooth-tongued solicitor
for printed matter makes the rounds
of the business men in every COM
munity, placing before the prospec-
tive customer the FACT that "we
make a speciality of this class of
work and can save you money"
Many of them fall for it but sooner
or later they discover the F',CT
that the local printer could have
done the job and perhaps the charge
would not have been as large as the
price asked by the solicitor. And
during all this time the merchants
are asking the newspapers to assist
in every way the ''trade at home"
campaign that is being waged to
educate people to the FACT that
the spending of their money at
home is a dividend paying PROPOSE

FOREST FIRES.

The rain of Saturday was God
send to the Arrowhead '.ountry.
Forest fires had started in several
out-of -the-way sections and forest
crews were kept busy fighting the
four or more fires in as many di-
rections. The fire in the HOBO Lake
was extinguished after
about an acre had been burned over.
The crews got to the fire shortly
after the report of its location was
received over the Ely-Buyck trail.
Without the trail it would have re-
quired something over six hours to
reach this section. Other fires were
confined to a very limited area by
reason of prompt ingress. The rain
of Saturday put stop to threat
ened bad fires in several parts of
the country.
All the fires reported were started
through carelessness on the part of
berry-pickers and fishermen. For
tunately no great damage was done.
1t is almost unbelievable that there
are people in the woods so careless
as to leave their coffee fires without
thoroughly quenching them in the
face of the continued warnings
given by the forest service through
posters and through the press.
Ordinary prudence in handling
camp fires and a little intelligence
combined make it so easy to put
out fires in the camping stage. At
ter a comparatively small fire gets
away from the camper it cannot be
stopped except by trained fighters
and large crews All this takes
time and costs money which could
be avoided by just little care in
handling camp fires, matches and
cigarettes,
While the tourist is being blamed
for most of the fires started in
places not easily accessible it is a
fact that tourists are not the Of
tenders. The recent fires have
demonstrated that the home grown
berry picker and fisherman were
the principal causes. The tourist,
when away from the beaten paths,
is usually in charge of a competent
guide who makes it a point to see
that no fire is left. If everyone
was as careful as the ordinary tour
list, there would be minimum of
fires.

writer. The trouble is that after
a while they take another look.
Another shipment of four tons of
catalogs arrived at Baudette last
week to add to the burdens of the
rural mail carriers and to make life
miserable for the merchants who
don't advertise.
This may or may not be true, but
anyway they are telling it on

the other day: "Have you still got
