It is only fair, when you see men about to place themselves in a posi- tion from which they may find it un- expectedly hard to escape, to give them warning of what to expect. That is what we hereby endeavor to do in the case of the legislators who propose to visit this section of the state, says the Duluth Herald. There may be some in that party who have never been up here before. If there are, we want them to under- stand in advance that many who have traveled to this country have, like those who went among the lotus eat- ers, found themselves unable to en- dure the thought of going away again. Of course there may be a few ven- turesome and skeptical ones who will scoff at this. All we have to say is, ‘“remember you were warned.” We could go on and argue forever and a day about the things that keep people here—the scenery, the water, the opportunities, the reality of life, the climate, the solid enjoyment of merely living in such a place and surroundings and climate as those in this part of the world. But what would be the use? These doubters wouldn’t believe it, or if they did believe it they wouldn’t even wait to close up their necessary business af- fairs, but would rush things to a fin- ish and jump on the first train-head- ed this way. But we aren’t selfish about it. Not a bit. We are glad to have other folks realize what kind of a place we have here, and the more there are who realize it the better we are pleased. So we will welcome these promised visitors; welcome them the very best we know how. We are as eager for their arrival as they would be to get there if they only knew more about us. But it does seem only fair to warn them that if they once get here and realize what they have found, they will never be satis- fied again in any other part of the world.

In repose he is soft spoken: He'is a judge. A few years ago he began to expound the theory that boys and girls who violated the laws never- theless- had souls. He believed that a boy in short trousers, or still in his ’teens who went astray was not necessarily damned for the rest of his life. Then he put these theories into practice. Things that he said began to carry weight. People. list- ened to him, and this quiet, little judge, whose heart went out to boys and girls, began to talk. It devel- oped that the same tongue which spoke only words of encouragement, advice and cheer for wayward young folks, had a veritable. saw-edge for, certain grown-ups. The little judge wrote a book. It was called “The Beast and the Jun- gle.” It exposed ome of the worst conditions of political corruption in the country. The corruption was right in the judge’s home , town— Denver. A terrible wail went up. And for twelve years now Judge Ben B. Lindsey, of the Denver juvenile court —for that is wha this little judge is—has been fighting. In twelve years Judge Lindsey has been forced to run for election seven times; made fights for appointment three times, and has faced the pros- pect of two recall elections. Neither of these, however, progressed to the point of coming to a vote. But that isn’t all. Every legislature since 1905 has brought forth some sort of “anti-Lindsey” bill. This year is no exception. Each new attack upon Judge Lind- sey attracts attention, but they are really only incidents in the general assault which, as Judge Lindsey will tell you, is designed to ‘“wear me out and impoverish me, physically as well as financially.” The harrassing part of the thing— from the standpoint of ‘“The Beast” —nhas been that Lindsey has kept right on talking, and every time he talked he hit something. The cry ‘was taken up that the judge was giv- ing Denver -“unfavorable publicity.” By exposing corruption and hitting at the grafters he was said to be giv- ing the city an unsavory reputation. So the fight has been conducted on the theory that if they could remove Judge Lindsey from the juvenile bench where he first attracted atten- tion, what he had to say would-cease to attract attention. The recall was first tried in the fall of 1913. Judge Lindsey had just been confined for three -months in the hospital. Public meetings {were held and recall petitions were circulated, but “The Beast” could not get enough signatures. ‘When the judge went east with the wives of striking miners in the spring of 1914 to plead their cause, the recall endeavor was revived. It failed again. In addition to being elected seven times, the judge has also been ap- pointed three times, twice by hostile boards of city commissioners and once by Mayor Robert W. Speer, one of his political enemies. Two years -ago Judge Lindsey was elected - by 35,000 majority out of 60,000 votes.cast for the office. ‘The bills introduced by the. leg- islature directed against Lindsey have been -as-varied .in character as the different angles of the fight against him. When -Judge Lindsey has-left the city on speaking trips he has employ- ed a judge to take his place on the beneh. One of the early bills, there- fore, was.intended to prohibit the employment of an outside judge. An- other- prohibited the- juvenile judge from ‘leaving the state except during the month of July. Then came the attempt. to place the juvenile court under the district court. This-is the step the present legis- lature is considering. The bills pre- sented:provide for the appointment of a new district judge, the transfer of the- juvenile work to-the juris- diction.of the district-court, and the naming of a new judge for this|. bench. Judge Lindsey has the “fighting- test” of his fighting clothes on. The |fight will probably go on, and Judge Lindsey will be battling to the end.

About the middle of the last century the Lord Rosebery of that time was in Paris, and in paying a call one day he ‘was recelved so rudely by the butler that he complained to his friend of the servant's conduct. But the butler had been a noncommissioned officer in the French army, and as such he chal- lenged Lord Rosebery to & duel. The earl accepted, and two shots were ex- changed without result. But Lord ;| Rosebery was angered at his own con- descension and afraid his antagonist: might lay aside his military rank and "| resume his duties as a servant, thus exposing an earl to. the reproach of having: fought with a butler. So he settled an annuity of £250 on the man on condition that he did not return to domestic service. The condition was faithfully observed on both sides. 0. E.
