There is not a man in the coun who can build good roads and brldg all over llorrv county to save h life in four years much less tw yet the people will go back on tl Supervisor because he don't ma good roads in one term when the is not one man in twenty-live who > willing to go out on the road a do an honest day's work like tho It requires. But yet, they want go roads, so T say give a man a fair tr and lets see what he will do befc we turn him dowu. Let us give IV Holt another term and soo what will do. Tt is no use t > swap a go horse that will work for one th has never been tried, so let us agree not to disagree and vo e I "W It Holt for Supervisor, W L M hoe, for Clerk of Court.

Does Not Approve of Commonwealths Being Made Subservient to Inferior Federal Courts?Would Uphold Constitution. Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota delivered at the dedication of the Minnesota monument on Sliiloh battle Held an address that will rank as one of the ablest public deliverances of recent times. Spoken on a battlefield ! that may be taken as the symbol of the ! great war for the 1'uion. the governor took occasion to tell of the peril that threatens our federal form of government. This peril was emplmsi/ed by the recent decision of the supreme court in the railway cases going up from Minnesota and North Carolina, which practically makes the state gov erniuents subservient to the Inferior federal courts. The significance of these decisions Is widely understood, and they have given rise to a general discussion of the question of the rights of the states, and Governor Johnson's speech will rank as an important contribution to that discussion. The dodl pnlnrtf u/1/lenoo 1?% r nil/1 J Iiiiiiivna ill | Ml i i iuiihwk; Representing the people of the commonwealth of Minnesota, we are assembled on one of the historic battle fields of the civil war to pay our tribute of respect and affection to the memory of the sons of Minnesota who here yielded up their lives that this might continue to he a united nation Their sacrifice was not for personal gain, hut was In response to duty and a contribution to the civilization of the ago and for the purpose of perpetuating tlie Institution of human liberty. I appreciate that nothing which 1 can say will add to or detract from the glory of their achievement, which In Itself Is an enduring monument to the patriotism and heroism of the American soldier. Their sacrifice, however, was not different from that which lias been made throughout all of the \ ages by those lovers of liberty who be- ' Hove In a government which might give to nil tlie people the right to life, liberty and property. The love liberty was not born In this couiLt^f? ,/| ours. It was cradled along th\\ v and about the shores rj^ . j w \\ even ^enI^^M11.c .pfplYrpnse of The Coo1' 1 ' solion and v r ",ul looclloJ tho ,imlt ejoi del Imperial grandeur. Increasing In Intensity with the passing of tlifc. centuries, It found Its highest expression in the older countries in the great i English charter of civil rights, which I forcvor guaranteed to the people of that land immunity from the despotism ' of those who claimed to rule by virtue of Divine right. ' Ono hundred and thirty-two years , 'ago the great contest of humanity was I 1 , transferred from the old world to the now, and here, because of the Isola. tlon of this country, because of the high character of the man who es) poused the causo of liberty and because of the signal victory achieved k by them in that struggle, an opportunity was afforded to crystallize Into j written law the aspirations of the pa triots of all the nges. The men who built the foundations of this govern [ mcnt wcro those who had submitted to the supreme tost of patriotism, for - those who Inspired the constitution of the United States were the same who > had pledged their lives, their properl* ties and their sacred honor to the causo of independence. While the primary object of a wrlt\ ten constitution is to define governmental powers and to limit govern mental departments, the overwhelming necessity for such an instrument is to i, prevent Insidious encroachments upon d the rights of the Individual citizen, botli from those In oQice and frojjq those who by reason of their wealth and power have an influence far great or than that possessed by tlie average citizen. And so the constitution of tlu United States was regarded by ib e framers as uu Instrument of the mos * sacred Import, an alteration of whicl ^ could only bo made by the people theni selves, in whom all ultimate power b j vested, and then only after the fillies as discussion uud widest publicity. 10 uuuer wie ueuuncuin governnienc hi ill established the nation has prosperei at and the iieoplo are happy. One greo cloud came upon tho nation In tlx ky form of an awful civil war, in whlel (.'K two sections of the country were ii 8 coullict with each other. Tho heroe ,0' who rest hero gave their lives that tlii |10 nation might be maintained as it cam from our forefathers. On another bnl *!(> tlefield of that war Abraham I.lncol 18 said: "It is for us, the living, rather t n" be dedicated to tho unfinished wor they have thus far so nobly carried oi ? . It Is rather for us to be here dedicate ,a' to tho great task remaining before ut j1'0 that from these holiored dead we tak 'r< Increased devotion for that cnuso fc Hi which they here gave tho last fu measure of devotion; that wo highly r< 1{yj solve that these dead shnll not hav , died In vain; that the nation shall ui ,or der Ood have a new birth of freedon 18~ and that the government of the peopli by the people and for the people sha I 0 not perish from tho earth/' c Our concern Is not of the past no <. < Y wholly with the proHMit, hut much With the future. If the destiny of the republic Is in the hands of the American of today, then it becomes him to Ik? guided and ptvcrncil only hy putil otic Impulse and the dcsLre to do that which will most largely contribute to the permanency of republican Institutions. Advancing our civilization so that we will not, by recognizing tho false claims of selfish interests and for getting the American maxim that car object should he to attain the greatest good for the greatest number, incur the penalty which other people have paid, rather let ns hold ever In mind that those who framed our government believed In tho equality of the people and that tho chief aim of government is to maintain that equality. Under our system of government the nation has reached a material development hitherto unknown. The people have prospered beyond the dreams of those who lived a century ago. Hut with the development of the country and changes in economic conditions, and particularly with tho growth of great priv: te corporations performing many of tho functions of government, has come the necessity for the exercise of strict governmental control and, n rigid enforcement of all the laws ennoted t< restrain tho rich and powerful from encroaching upon the natural and legal rights of the poor and weak. The constitution of the ancient republic of ltome, which for 500 years had recognized the voice of the people as supre.no. was expanded by executive interpretation and contracted by executive administration until Home had so completely outgrown its democratic conditions as to become only a tragedy and a tradition. Let us Implore tho aid of him on high to preserve us from tho errors which ruined Home, by tho avoidance of which America may travel on to that destiny and realize that fulfillment which will he the Inspiration of right thinking men of all ages yet to come. ?Mir government Is divided into three I separate ami ^ distinct co-ordinate hranehes?the legislative, the cxceutivoi and the Judicial. Danger will sure income to this republic when any of these departments of government attempt in the slightest degree to/usurp the functions of the other. And, while now and then it may be that, a court of the land in construing tho -constItu tlon may nullify a section oC'tt. I have the faith to feel that the "pcA'ple of the country will rise above the fa nihility of judicial tribunals and assert and preserve their own right#. Our duty is not to criticise the exochtiN \ the D,,jvc, litfnro or tho Judiciary. I A-'. J\ ery recently t>her?,(, Jo * " ' ifio highest judiiw. ,ilw.i S has come'from decision .?r u \y.c s ' " y VaJ tribunal in tho land let,,in, ' vital interest .'And con1 the American people, because it has established a principle, as stated by one. member of the court, which "would work a radical change in our g< /cru.mcntul system and would Inaugurate a new era in the American Judl cial system and in the relations of the national and state governments. It, would enable the subordinate tuderal courts to supervise and control the odiclal action of tho states as though they were dependencies or provinces. It: would place the states of the I'ulon in a condition of inferiority never droamj cd of when the constitution was adoptlI oil or when the eleventh nn\cndim?nr was made a part of (he supreme la_\v* of the lanil." If this Is (he result of (his decision, it is, lo my mind, one of the unhappy incidents in the history of. our republic, because the very theory, of our guvviuaient is based upon tih; right of the slates to control absolute^ their own domestic affairs.
