JUDGE FESSLER
GUSTS PENIT|LA
CHARLES PENTTILA, COUNTY
COMMISSIONER ELECTED FOR
THE SIXTH DISTRICT REMOV-
ED FROM OFFICE-WILL AP-
PEAL. THE CUSTER.

Judge Bert Fessler in District
Court Tuesday handed down his de-
cision in the case of t~hirty-hve peti-
TONERS OF the sixth commissioner dis
trict against Charles Pentilla. elect
ed commissioner over Dan Mckenzie
by Clio votes to 5000 votes LOT
Mckenzie. ousting Penttila from the
office to which he was elected.
The charges found true by n
Judge were the promises made by
Penttilla TO several men of county
iobs in return for the support OF
these men in the election and his fali-
ure to file an accurate financial suate-
ment of his campaign expenses.
Pentila did not file notice Of the
fact that M. A. Murphy a gwen
him $500 about two or three days be-
fore the general election, or that
Emil Isaacson had given him $2o
prior 10 the election. 1t was testlhed,
during the trial held in Virginia ana
completed in Duluth Saturday, that
Isaacson had paid money to assure
himself a job, with his team, on n
roads in Pentilla's district.
Illegal promises of road jobs were
made to Elmo Harris, Matt Peterson
and Isaacson, it was found.
"While there may be a feren
of opinion as to some of the facts
found, it is probable that some that
were found not proven would nave
been found proven by another trlp-
unaL The majority of the otfenses
found true are all but admitted by
the respondent" Judge Fessler said,
in mart, in filing his memorandum
on the evidence.
His refusal at first to testify on
the ground that his answers might IN
criminate him rather ~discredited his
subsequent denials and explanations.
It is a right which the respondent
CPenttila) had, but rarely is such a
right asserted by an innocent a
TO accent the explanations made by
respondent to some of the most ser
ious charges would scarcely be more
than a pretext for the court TO escape
the performance of an unpleasant
duty"
l.
The decree rules that Penttila be
ousted from office forthwith, that n
election be declared null and void
and that the petitioners recover n
costs they met in bringing the custer
action.
H. B. Fryberger, M of Penttila's
attorneys announced that the case
would be appealed to the state sup
rene court Immediately after the
decision of Judge Fesler became
known. Penttile was granted a forty
day stay in which TO appeal the Ease.
He will continue as county commits
sioner until a final decision is made
by the supreme court. 1t Is expected
that the case may be decided within
the year as it will take nearly six
months for the supreme court to ar
rive at a decision.

Changes in the Trades
Duluth Hera1d)

Ways of living change with the changing times.
During the past two years the number of men work.
ing at the saddlery and harness-makng trade has
shrunk from 6.617 to 4,564. Improved harness-mak-
ing machinery has had nothing to do with this but
the most important factor is the automobile. You
don't need a saddle or harness to drive an auto
mobile. Horses are not plenty on the streets as
they were once.
The experts report also that apprentices are more
numerous than at any time since 1860, all trades
considered together. In fact, the pressure to be-
come journeymen manual workers must be very
great. There is no longer any feeling among the
intelligent that the white-collar man has any adj
vantage over the in overals. In fact it is quite
the other way. -
Draymen, hackmen and Transfers were very nu-
merous relatively in the past, but they are being
crowded back and the chauffeurs are coming to the
front. Many even now remember when the team
ster or coachman on his perch. driving his Shin
ing gallant pair. was the last word in development

The New Freedom in Russia

1t is hard to know the truth about 1.-THE new free
dom in Russia" So many people who 60 over
there to report conditions have their preconceptions
and find exactly what they 60 after.
But recently at lula, a small mining town near
Moscow, incident occurred that tells prac-
tically all we need to know about tho new freedom
and its limitations. anton. ~,
The Russian government controls the metal
works at lula. The men had gone strike and
threatening property damage. An asscmblage
collected, shouted "Down with the Soviet" and dis
obeyed orders to dispense.
What would have happened to such a gathering
in the days Of the cars? The answer is easy.
Police or soldiers would have fired into the crowd.
There would have been Deaths and not few would
have limped home bearing the wounds Of battle.
What happened under the present "beral' ruling
regime in Russia. Were the strikers told with words
that flowed like honey to "go home and be good
boys? We're they cautioned by all the standards Of
the new freedom" in Russia that strikes really in
the end didn't get anybody anything and were lot
of trouble anyhow?
What happened was this: Soviet militia opened
up their guns upon the strikers, and Is Of them
were killed and q wounded.
It seems to make little difference who owns the
property.
