DISTRICT COURT
WORK IS RAPID
Many Civil and Criminal
Cases Get Attention
Since Opening.
Regular Fall Session is Al
most Completed at
Pine City.

District court continued in session
at Pine City this week. Several cases
having been completed over the week
end and others will be up for trial
soon. The first civil case listed as
Edward A. Challeen versus Parrish
Boo Lumber Company was taken from
the calendar as a jury case and is
to be tried as a court case. The case
of Karl R. Won Schenk was dismissed
as was also the case of Mary Babiaz
versus ]. E. Skully. Case number
six, Liela YuilI versus C. o. Hedlund
was tried by a jury and a verdict was
rendered for the plaintiff in the
amount of twenty-five hundred dol
lars. The case of Lenard H. Lund
versus Hannes Rypkema which grew
out of the accident occurring at the
time Mr. Rypkema was injured was
settled out of court.
Two cases were taken from the list
of jury cases and verdict rendered
for the defendant, by the court.
These were the cases of Gertrude
Holler versus First National Bank of
Pine City, corporation, and John v.
Holler versus First National Bank of
Pine City, a corporation. In the case
of Pearl Jones versus George E.
Rodgerson considerable interest was
aroused in court as the plaintiff was
suing the defendant on the allegation
that the defendant came to her house
and posed as a member of the Dill
linger gang thereby causing her to
suffer from shock. This case went
to the jury on Tuesday afternoon. A
number of other civil cases were
transferred from the list of jury cases
to that of court cases and will be
so tried. There will be five hearings
on petitions for divorce to come be-
fore the court.
Bandits Draw Ten Years.
In the case of the State of Min
nesota versus George Gustafson and
Orville Martinson, who were tried for
holding up an oil station at Sand
stone, the defendants were found
guilty and a sentence pronounced by
Judge Stolberg, sending them to Still
water state prison for ten years. One
other criminal case yet to be heard
is that of the State of Minnesota ver-
sus Martin RomanOski.

GOPHERS EXPECT
TO BEAT MICHIGAN
Winning the Event Is Periodic but
Periods Have Been Rather
Far Apart.

Minnesota and Michigan football
coaches will exchange compliments.
each telling the other how good he
is and how the opposing team is sure
to win when they make brief speeches
as a feature Of the annual Homecom-
ing Banquet in the Minnesota Union,
at the University, Friday night, No.
vember 2. The banquet is the tradi-
tional annual rally of Gopher alumni
that precedes the big home game Of
the year. President L. d. Coffman
also will make a brief address.
Minnesotans believe this will be
one of the celebrated upper case years
when Minnesota beats Michigan on
the gridiron. In recent years this
has taken place only in 1919 and
1927, the event being periodic, like
drouths. depressions and the like.
Whether Minnesota's efforts to
smooth out this curve is due to the
heavier industries of Michigan or the
more rapid pigskin turnover at Ann
Arbor remains for members of
learned institutes to unravel. Some
maintain that the records look the
way they do because Minnesota suf-
fers from a plain, old-fashioned in
feriority complex, and it is true that
in past years some Minnesota teams
have lost to inferior teams wearing
the maize and blue of the Wolverine.
Another theory is that intensive
punting, passing and praying by
Yosts teams have been altogether too
much for the Gophers, who at times
have excelled at one or even two of
the famous aerial routes, but seldom
in all three at the same time.
The first complete sellout of Men,
orial Stadium in five years is ex-
pected, and even now practically no
seats are left.

Impressions of the
Chief Executive in
Speech at Askov
By BERT MERLING.

Without money-men, women and
children are slaves. There is no free
dom without economic security for
all. Money is as necessary as the
air we breathe. Therefore the SUI
preme injustice to the race is the
Withholding of money and its con-
centration in the hands of the few.
The possessorS of wealth have not been
chosen by God, or because of eXcep-
tional gifts and wisdom. Through in
sensate greed, often in ancient times
actual banditry, fortunes were
founded. 1t is this ruthless rapacity
which has permitted gigantic fortunes
to double themselves not by what the
possessors do, but because of what
they have. The money autocracy does
not reciprocate with agriculture or
labor. 1t represents the transformed
toll of others-it does the reaping
but not the sowing. 1t forces the
farmer to come empty handed to the
nations table which his labor has
supplied with every food. 1t forces
the worker to create wealth but de-
MES him his rightful share. Because
one family has millions in wealth
that single family can cut coupons
and reap as much as a thousand men
who toll all day when work is avail
able, merely because they have"
The foregoing sentences remem-
bered from previous readings ran
through my mind as l glimpsed on
Kettle river bridge the bronzed viking
head of our governor. His own utter
ancesS were kin to the above facts.
His every struggle has been to bring
about social justice. And there he
stands, a Viking of old, addressing
his people!
What a setting for this enlightened
leader of the people. A balmy Indian
summer afternoon. A cloudless sky,
blue as indigo, arches his well
moulded head His strong and SEN
sitive face is decidedly nordic. One
could easily imagine the silver
winged helmet of the Viking, the
shield of Sweden's fighters, the ideal
istic brotherhood of lone for all and
all for one," of the Danes,-a COM
pOsite of all in the heroic figure of
the Governor. And packed tightly on
three sides of the platform is throng
of Scandinavians, their predcminantly
blue eyes focused sympathetically
upon the states chief executive.
They instinctively sense the real
leader whom no SANDER, vituperatiOn
nor castigation can vanquish. They
see the marks engraved upon his fore
head by the ignorant, biased and pre-
JUDGED abuse of the selfish and un-
thinking. They are touched when the

CHOPS FOOT OFF
BULL TO ESCAPE

Joe Derrick of Parkers Prairie, had
to chop a leg off a bull to escape,
but after all, he figured, the leg of a
bull wasn't worth his own hide! Der
rick was fixing the fence on his farm
when he was surprised and knocked
down by the bull. He would have
been gored to death, but as he lay
on the ground he felt the axe with
which he had been pounding the fence
posts, and as the bull made a second
attack, he dashed out with the axe
and neatly cut the front foot off the
animal. The surprised bull, minus
one foot, promptly flopped to the
ground, giving Derrick time to get
to safety.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

On November 3, CASTOR DOumerSue,
prime minister of France, will lay
before the chamber of deputies one
of the boldest propositions ever pre-
scented to that body, for, as he has
already foreshadowed in a series of
radio speeches, he will seek consti-
tutional authority for his own office
and wants to reserve to himself
and to the president of the republic
the right to dissolve the chamber,
thus suppressing the senate's present
veto power; also he will insist that
the government obtains the right to
propose expenditures right tradi-
tionally belonging to the chamber
and wants to impose upon government
employees the duty to speak well of
the cabinet-in other words, if he sue
ceeds, such employees will not be per-
mitted to criticize the government.
French opposition groups consider
Doumergue's plans an approach to
fascism, and it is quite likely that
they will be strenuously attacked.
Militarism.
AS readers of these surveys may
have gathered, France has been the
chief antagonist of international dis
armament moves always insisting
that security must precede a reduc-
tion of ornaments.
Statistics, released by the Foreign
Policy Association in Washington, do
net, however, show that the arma-
ments increase during recent years
has been greater in France than in
other countries; what they do show
can be thus summed up:
Comparing the two years, 1913 and
1884, the military expenditures of
France have increased 25.S per cent;
those of Italy, 1858; Great Britain's
4SS; Russias $50; those of the
United States 1909 per cent and
Japan's, 3SS per cent.
In a second table the percentage
relationship of national budgets and
socalled defense" expenditures is
given as follows:
France, 1913 per cent; Germany,
III; Great Britain, 1874; Italy, 20.S;
Japan, 437; the United States, 17.9;
Russia-not given.
All this in an age when attention
is said to be focused on the prob
lem of reducing and limiting arma-
mentS!''
CHASTITY Joke.
Altogether, disarmament talk has
turned out to be a rather CHASTITY
joke. Right now the representatives
of the United States, Great Britain
and Japan are gathered in London
for the purpose of paving the way
for an extension of the 1880 London
naval treaty. This agreement, pur
ported to aim at the reduction of
navies, resulted in a consistent in
crease of the navies of the great
powers, but with the clearly defined
understanding that Japan's navy was
to be the smallest.
Japan has objected to this, the Nip
ponese argument being that what
should be sought is smaller navies,
and Japan's not smaller than those
of the two great English-speaking ma
tions. The United States and Great
Britain are not willing to concede
equality to Japan, and for that rea-
son there is a possibility that Japan
will denounce the 1880 treaty and re-
fuse to sign any renewed agreement.

BERT BERTRAM
ABANDONS IDEA
LITTLE THEATER
ACTOR, PRODUCER CLAIMS
LACK OF PROPER SUPPORT
FORCES MOVEMENT UNDER
WAY TO BE DROPPED

Bert Bertram, actor, producer
and director, does not believe it
will be possible at this time to per-
feet his plans for the organization
of a Little Theater in Key West.
In a letter to The Citizen, Mr..
Bertram sets forth his reactions as
follows:
ave regret that after five
weeks of attempting to organize
Little Theater in Key West we
are abandoning the idea.
eve would very much like to
have had the opportunity of show
ing the people of this city what
such a movement really means to
a community.
"At a meeting in the Chamber
of Commerce it was decided that
a registration fee of so cents per
wear would be the only charge
made for membership in The Lit
tie Theater group. And for this
so cents members would be en-
titled to full course in the Thea
ter including: The drama and all
of its branches, makeup, deport-
mef1t, voice culture, stage lighting
and effects, dancing and scene
painting.
"The money collected from reg
istrations would be spent on pro-
duclng plays, the profit from these
plays to go towards the renting
of d theater permanently wherein
we could produce bigger and bet
ter plays.
"Those who attended the meet
ing were enthusiastic. but, with the
exception of the press and a very
few other citizens we were dis
couraged at every turn. And so
we decided to withdraw from the
movement. This does not mean,
of course, that the few enthusiasts
may not carry one. We sincerely
hope they do.
1--WE wish it were in our pow
er to impress the people of Key
West with the Importance of the
Little Theater and appeal to them
to support the movement if an OPP
porthnity presents itself.
~ Little Theater is as import
ant ito community as is a good
library.
with all good. wishes to the
few enthusiasts and gratitude to
the press.
