Semi Annual Oris of Justice and Equity Ground Out by Mill over Which Judge Weetover Presides CITY MUST MOVE SEPTIC TANK CITY SCHOOL NOTES Good Work of Teachers and Stud ents Showe Up Well for First Half of School Year SEMESTER EXAMINATIONS An exchange asks, "If the post wasters' and poet oflfe influence Is M bad upon politics qj it H some times claimed to be, how will It be when the telegraphs witli the mil lions of operators are added to th? department?" It has always been the cry of those who opposed gov ernment ownership of public facill t4es that the Increase In the number of government employes would be politically detrimental 4o he coun try This would be true under the spoils system of appointing govern ment employes for .political purposes atid as reward for partisan service, but not necessarily it rue under the righit kind of eytem Place tele graph operators, as well as other government employed, in the classi fied service, and most of the evils of corrupt political ma chines will be IKVolded OMM "I n a tluie a gentleman whose pert sayings have since made hlni famous remarked, "The mills of i lie gods grind slow but they grind exceeding small." It is pretty inuc'i Hie same way with some other mils, sometimes Including the mills oi Jus tlce. The work of Hie present term of district court for Hox Hirtte coun ty was about cleaned up yeiterciay except such business as may be brought before It by the grand Jury which Is still In session. Whether the grinding was slow or not, It has been thorough. A good many cases disposed of are of little or no Inter est except to the parties directly concerned, but ihore are some of general Interest. A case (that Is of great Interest to a larger numoer or persons uian any other is the one entitled Anna Fredericks vs. City of Alliance, et al.. In which an Injunction was asked against further use of the septic tank southetujt of the city, into which the eewer system empties, and require the removal of the same to a point farther away. The citi zens of Alliance almost without ex ception, we think, will he pleased to learn that the injunction was grant ed and an order for the removal of the septic tank made, work to begin on same within twenty days. This term of district court seemed to be pretty niuah of a divorce mill, there being thirteen cases on the docket. The case of Mary Dunn vs. John F. Dunn was dismissed at plara"ff's cost. Joseph Bark'hurst vs. Evelina Barkhurst was dismissed at plaintiff's cont. the defendant be in' allowed $100 for attorneys' fees. Charlotte Pearl Blerman vs. Henry W.
