Joined with the senate in sending
word to the President that congress
had convened and stood ready to
read his message on the State Of
the Union.
The President delivered his mes
sage to congress Wednesday in per-
son. Both bodies Of congress as
sembled in the house chamber in
joint session for the occasion.
Admitting that the vital need Is
not alteration in fundamental law
but an enlightened view with re-
ference to it, President Roosevelt
summoned courts of the land yes
terday to do their part in making
democracy successful within the
frame work of the Constitution.
His plea comes at time when, he
stated, militarism has leaped for
ward abroad.
Addressing a joint session Of
congress from the speakers dias
the President referred to the MIRA
saying that the broad detectives
Of the provision were sound and
added: THE statute of MIRA has
been outlawed. The problems have
not. They are still with u.s."
While the President did not re-
fer by name to the Supreme Court
he said in the course of his adj
dress: Because all of us believe
that our democratic form of gov
eminent can cope adequately with
modern problems as they arise, 1t is
patriotic as well as logical for us
to prove that we can meet new ma
tional needs with new laws consist
ent with the historical constitu-
tion." He asked courts to face the
new task which was placed before
them that of interpreting literally
laws consistent with the frame
work Of the Constitution. Theirs is
to prove that Democracy is still
practical.
Among far reaching problems
still in need of solution, President
Roosevelt included: A housing
menace of habitations failing ito
provide the physical benefits of
modern civilization" improvement
and broadening of the social secur-
ity system; and unemployment.

long before the planting season for
1887 begins.
This week Form NCR-12 "Appli-
cation for Payments" are being
mailed to every farmer in the coun-
ty who cooperated on the soils pro-
gram for 1886. These applications
are being returned to the county
agents office and will be transmit
ted for payment to the state office
at st. Paul. On the soils conserva-
ton program this year payments
will be made through a disbursing
office in the Twin Cities rather
than have all the forms go to
Washington for payment as was
the case with the old programs.
This will cause the payments to
reach the people much earlier after
they are transmitted than was the
case in former years with the var
ious AAA programs.
The soils conservation program
for 1896 will result in distribution
Of more than 100000 in Stearns
county. This will be distributed
among about 1850 farmers.

KEEP HYDRANTS FREE FROM
SNOW

Following the heavy snowfall
many people covered the water n.y.
drants while shoveling their side
walks. This is a dangerous practice,
and an infractfon of the state law.
There is a severe penalty for OBJ
structing the hydrants. Under the
law the view to MIGRANTS must be
unobstructed for distance of IL
feet. Chief George Fish advises all
people to keep the MIGRANTS unob-
structed so that the fire department
may have easy access to them in
case Of fire. This precaution may
save your property from destruc-
ton by fire.

WHAT OTHERS THINK

From the Long Prairie Leader
comes this clipping manifesting the
spirit of cooperation that has
sprung up between the communi-
ties.
Members of the local fire depart
ment who assisted the Sank Gen.
tire, Melrose and Osakis depart
ments in hating the conflagration
in Sank Centre several weeks ago,
were guests of Sank Centre bust
ness men at banquet Tuesday
night.
Among department members
from here who attended were: C.
E. Blunt, I. F. Lano, John Wolf,
Clifford Denny, Art Bliese, E. w.
Wolfarth, Hiram Peterson and
George Dinkel.
The dinner was given by owners
Of property adjoining those des-
troyed in the Sank Centre blaze to
show the appreciation Of the bus
mess men for the efforts the men,
bers Of the four departments ex-
erted to save the business district
from destruction.
AS one of the Long Prairie men,
bers stated upon his return, There
1t was. A roast goose dinner with
all the trimmings and a mighty
fine entertainment all around. We
did not expect anything of the kind
but 1t certainly was fine gesture
on the part Of the Sank Centre bus
mess men,"
The Sank Centre incident called
attention to a fine spirit Of coop
Grafton that exists among commun-
tiles in this part Of the state. The
Long Prairie department, having
number Of years ago received as
sistance from the Sank Centre COM
pany. was naturally glad to be able
to repay in some measure that past
gesture Of friendliness on the part
of Main Street.

came as a surprise. Business and
city officials Of Sank Centre had
previously extended their apprecia-
tion Of what the visiting depart
ments did and were extravagant in
the praise showered upon neighbor-
ing companies.

It took Manager Forsyth, of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone COM
pany, three trips to reach troubled
lines near Osakis. Thursday on the
third attempt he reached the
trouble on the toll circuit through
which passes the programs of the
National Broadcasting Company
chain. Until trouble could be clear
ed programs were rerouted through
Omaha. Prompted by the weather
and impossible roads the last day
oe 1886 set a new peak in placed
calls with the telephone company.
According to records 1862 long dis
lance calls were placed that day, or
about 200 more than on an average
day. Local calls handled were esti-
mated at near the 1000 mark for
the day. The daily average for To-
cal service runs at about $500.
When school buses were unable
to travel their routes Monday,
many rural pupils had an extend

ed this week 80 pupils were absent
in the junior high school assembly
alone. It is probable that 200 pupils
were kept out of school by the
drifted roads.
In this city Is or 20 men have
been employed on snow removal.
Clearing the drifts from Main
Street and the business section,
the men were busy getting the
Street back to its former level. Gar
ages were pressed for room as
marooned travelling men and local
residents fastened to seek shelter
for their cars. Wreckers and crews
were out at all hours hauling hap
less motorists from bitches and
drifts.

The Community and Delinquency

Before a community can do effect
i've work to check Or prevent delin-
quency, it is quite important that it
first inform itself as to actual condi-
tions existing therein. In addition to
these facts enumerated in our last re-
port, there may be numerous other
local conditions unfavorably influence
ing our youth.
Who should make the investigation
for the community?
individuals hesitate to do it. ANY one
organization dislikes to make itself
conspicuous. 1t is therefore suggested
that cooperative action, of ali social
agencies OF the community, might be
the most effective roa+bod ~ 49,.

PIANO TEACHER
 SEEKS DIVORCE
Newspaper CartOOnist De- fendant-DecisiOn of
 Petition Reserved

Criminal action for abandonment against a temperamental "artiste' was suggested by Judge Frank P. McEvoy today, after he had heard the details of the divorce action of Fanny Horowitz of Derby against Eli Horowitz of WilkeS-Barre, Penn. Decision in the divorce petition was reserved.
 Mrs. HorowitE, who seeks only @ divorce from her husband, an artist and newspaper cartoonist, was ad- verse to the judges suggestion of criminal action, and would have none of 1t. The claimant, 8 piano teacher in Derby, offered the infor-
 nation that she was married May l6, 1880, but that her husband de- serted her permanently September Is, 1883, after severe previous "va- cations" It was testified in court today that the husband was "artis- lically temperamental" and that his words to hls wife when finally leaV- ing were, "as an artist should be free and unencumbered by 8 wife" He departed in 1883 and she has not seen him since.
 An attempt at reconciliation is said to have been made by MT. Hor- Owitz, but the last answer to her letter stated you have your job and have my career. l wish you luck" Judge McEvoy termed the letter, "supercilious" and stated he was becoming tired of sitting on the bench week after week and hearing evidences of persons disregarding their marriage VOWS. He said he had long been seeking a suitable case to use as an example and would like to use this one. Section 623O of the statutes, which deals with aban- donment. provides a penalty of not more than three years imprison- ment.
 Attorney Jacob H. Bellin, of An- sonia, who represented Mrs. Horo- witz, here asked Judge McEvoy for a short recess in which he could confer with his client on the mat ter. Mrs. Horowitz would not even consider criminal action, and At- torney Bellins then sought confer ence with the judge. Judge McEvoy stated that he would delight in turning the case over to States At- torney Lawrence L. Lewis for prose- cution.
