i — ‘A.L.THWING | a FOR JUDGE A Few Reasons Why he Should be Elected. The office of district judge is the most important office to be filled at the next general election. There is no public office that affects the real interests of all the people as does the Office of the judge of the district court. There is no public officer whose official acts, whose performance of the work of his office, of the duties required of him by law, affect more vitally the real interests of the people, than do the official acts and the per- formance of duty, of the judge of the district court. To a great extent, the welfare of every citizen, his personal security, his personal liberty and his private property, are in the keeping of the judge of the district court. It is of the utmost importance that the per- son holding this high, honorable and responsible office, shall measure up to its requirements. One of the great requisites of a good judge is that he shall be so mentally constituted, so endowed by nature, that he can see, understand and ap- preciate, the rights, duties and obli- gations of all the people under the law. itis also essential that he be sv constituted mentally, so endowed by nature, that he will have at all times, a high and controlling sense and appreciation of justice, of that which is honorable, of the right. A good judge should be one who believes in right because it is right; believes in justice for the sake of justice. The judge of the district court should appreciate the honorable position that he holds; the obligations resting upon him, and his responsibility to the people for the performance of the duties and functions of his office. In addition to these natural qualifi- cations, and endowments, the'district judge should be a man of good educa- tion, learned 1n the law and the posesser of a mird capable of con- tinous application and acquirement. No man can be a successful judge un- fess he is a student. He must be learned in the fundamental principles of the law, the foundations of legal jurisprudence. He must beastudent of and know the common law. The law of al®the states except as modi- fied by statute or changed by par- ticular or local custom. He must know the common law of this state as pronounced, by the courts. He must know and understand the statutes, the enactments of legislat- ures. He must be acquainted with the decisions of the courts of last re- sort, and he must be able to apply all this to the multitudinous and ever changing facts coming before him for consideration. All of these qualifica- tions combined, constitute what is termed a judicial mind, and a judicia! mind is necessary to a good judge. It is frequently the case that the characteristics and endowments which make a lawyer successful as a practi- tioner at the bar, as an advocate, will prevent or tend to prevent his being a success as a judge, and in this the public sometimes are deceived. Take the history of the United States, from the adoption of the constitution to the present time, and it is perhaps safe to say that ninety per cent of all the great and able judges who have adorned the bench, have not been or- ators. Manyof them could not in common parlance, even, deliver a speech, but they knew the law; had good judicial minds; had a high sense of justice and of right; could see both down ‘by the court, so ac- curately, fully and completely do they state and apply the law to the facts in the case. It is safe to say that no mao with only seven years’ practice at the bar cao see and under- stand the law applicable to the case io band, and brief the case and write an argument of the law, more ac- curatelv, fully and completely than can Mr. Thwing, and this fact is recognized by the courts, both the district court and the supreme court of the state. When Mr. Thwing stands up to argue a question of law before the supreme court of this state, he is listened to with respect by that tribunal, and that respect is based upon the fact that the supreme court koows that Mr. Thwing understands the law, and is applying it to the case as 1t should be applied. It is also safe to say that during the entire history of this state, no man within seven years from the time he commenced the practice, bas obtained or held a higher standing before the supreme court than does Mr. Thwing. While Mr. Thwing has been success- ful as a lawyer it is evident that he possesses in a very marked degree the qualifications necessary for a good judge, and that if placed upon the bench he will become one of the best judges in the state. Being astudent, aman capable and disposed to go to the bottom of things, to become fully informed, and educated especially in the law, if given opportunity by be- ing placed upon the bench at this time, there is no doubt that he will become not only one of the abie judges of this state but will be an honor to the county of Itasca. The opportunity is now presented to the people of this county to place this young man in this position for which he Is so eminently fitted both by nature and education. In addition to all of the above, itis of the utmost importance to the people of this county at this time that we should have a resident judge. It is well known that there is more litigation and legal business to be done in this county than in any other two counties in the district, and more than in three or four of some of the other counties, put together. One of the judges of the district should re- side and have his chambers in the county where the great bulk of the legal business is to be done. Not on- ly does this county have more legal business to be performed by the judge than do any other two counties in the district, but such business in this county is steadly increasing. If one of the judges of the district resided here and held court.at chambers Lere, a very large part of this business could be disposed of from day to day by the court at chambers, instead of being placed upon the calendar for trial at the regular term of the dis- trict court. If the court resided here, a great many cases could be tried to the court without a jury, instead of being continued to the district court and tried to the jury and thus the ex- pense to the ccunty be materially de- creased, and as the court cases could be tried as fast as issues were formed, it would shorten the terms of court. ‘The benefits to the people, to business interest and litigants generally, by being enable to dispose of their cases promptly before the court at cham- bers, without being compelled to go to the district court and wait some- times for days and even weeks before their case is called, will be almost ia- calculable, and now the opportunity is presented to the feople of this county to secure these results by the nomination and election of a judge residing in this county. Mr. Thwing sbould have no orposi- tion in this county. If he is given siaes of every question and of eyery proposition, and were able to inter- pret, construe and apply the law with eminent fairness and justice. At the primary election to be heid on the 15th day of September, the electors of this county and of this judicial district, will be called upon to decide and will decide, who shall be nominated as a candidate for the Office of district judge. Without in any way questioning the fitness of the several candidates for the office, and! assuming that they each and all possess in a high degree, the endow- ments and qualifications for the of- fice, the people of Itasca county should unanimously and enthusiastically sup- port Mr. A. L. Thwing. There are many reasons why the candidacy of Mr. Thwing should appeal strongly to the people of this county. Seven years ago he located at Grand Rapids; opened an office and commenced the practice of the law. He wus then a young man, without previous ex- perience, without money or means, without any assistance or influence, depending entirely upon himself. From the start, he gave evidence of possessing in a high degree, a good ‘judicial mind, of being able to read, understand and apply the law. While Mr, Thwing has been successful in practicing law in this county, and has mnade a success of the general practice, his greatest success and his highest standing at the bar is in his ability to read, study, understand and apply the law, and his briefs pre- pared in his cases, both in the district and supreme courts, read like decisions that support that the occasion de- mands: if the people of this county are alive to their own best interests, there will be no doubt of the nomina- tion of Mr, Thwing in September. The Clerks Play Ball. It was a battle for blood that oc- cured on the south side ball grounds last Sunday when the clerks from the north side of the track met those from the south side. The prelim- inaries were quickly disposed of and with George Dewey as umpire the boys proceeded to play ball. It was good ball from start to finish and highly enjoyed by a large aut dience that was impartial in its ap- plause. The lineup was as follows: Northside Southside King ¢: ‘tSehoaf McLaughlin be) Whaling Drake + 1stb Whittemore Ranfranz 2nd b Jutrees Wheaton 83rd b Given Sherman rf Kiler Blood cf Campbell Grindell lf Meagher Seamans ss McLaughlin It was an errorless game from start to finish and the individual work was So uniformly good that it is impossible to make individual mention of the work of each player. At the close of the game the score stood 5 to 4 in favor of the south side Two Senatorial Newsboys. There are two former newsboys in the United States senate—Smith of Michigan and Curtis of Kansas. John F. Trebilcock. of Coleraine for The announcement of the candidacy of Joho F. Trebilcock of Coleraine, for commissioner for the third district make it apparent that the voters of that district know a good man when thev see one. Last Saturday’s Itasca Iron News says: Mr. Trebilcock was pushed into the field by citizens of the district who thought that toe im- portance of the third district deman- ded an experienced man, quatoted with local conditions as well affairs. A body of Coleraine business men called on Mr. Trebilcock Thurs- day and asked him to accept the of- fice, as there was no other candidate such as the district desired available. Mr. Trebilcock had no political am- bitions but after due consideration has decided to accept the-all. Mr. Trebilcock coming out a can- didate nominally means his election. Jack as superintendent of the explor- ation work going on in this vicinity is personally acquainted with almost every working man io the district, and he is popular with these as well as the business interests in the Can- isteo district. In sounding local setiment we find that Mr. Trebilcock will be heartily endorsed by Bovey business men, all of wohm have had dealings with him, and who have confidence in his ability and general integrity.” Hunting Season Close by. Local sportsman are shining up their guns and getting their hunting duds together for the first of Septem- |p: ber, when the season for turtle dove, snipe, prairie chicken, pinnated grouse. white breasted or sharp tailed grouse, woodcock, plover, wild duck, geese and all other aquatic fowl opens. The season for quail, partridge, ruffled grouse and pheasant does not open until the first of October, a month later than the chicken season. Octo- ber is an open month for both chicken and partridge. The partridge season lasts a month longer, through No- vember, while the game laws shut down on the killing of chickens on Oct. 31. For the hunter shooting only small game in his own county a license is unnecessary, but for one who intends to shoot in other counties a license must be secured, the fee being $1 and County Auditor Spang is now pre-|. paired to issne license tg all comers. It 1s reported that duck’s will be numerous this fall while the crop of partridge and grouse is not so good as usual. Goodland News Notes While out picking berries the other day, Mrs. Wm. Matthiesen met a large black bear who also was picking ber- ries; after eying each other for a few moments each fled in a difterent dir- ection. Quite a number of bears have been seen here lately. While Robert Haigh and Frank Brown were out picking berries the first of the week, Robert and his dog got into some wolf traps. Frank Brown not being able to release the victims, started for town but chanced to meet Alph Peck who went back and released the victims. Once out of the traps they did not stay long, but made a B line for town. The trapper has not yet received bounty on his catch. John Brackin and a bunch of kids is out at Twin lakes on a berring ex- pedition. John Peterson, Frank Peters, and Christ Johnson left for the harvest fields Monday. Mrs, Joe Corty and daughter, Viola, spent a few days visiting friends at Hibbing. Miss Florence Perry visited friends here Tuesday. C. W. Haigh returned from Grand Rapids where he had been on jury. _Amon Ebe has returned from his trip to Cumberland, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

At a small country meeting the judge, a local gen- tleman, had been indulging rather too freely, the weather being very sultry. One of the races was closely contested, the finish lying between a bay horse and a gray. “Which won, judge; the bay or the gray?” cried voices from the crowd. “Neither,” replied the judge, “the piebald won.’ Sealed bids will be received by the Board of Education of school district ‘No. 1, Ttasca county, Mion., up to 8 o’clock B- m., August Bist, 1908, for the conveying of High school Pupils trom Cohasset, Minn., to the High sel ty ve oe rs ey Yara thes asset ry school day during the schoo! year of 1908 tad 1909. s seed Dated at Grand Rapids Minn., August 19th, JAMES DORAN, - Olerk.
