THE position taken by the
Pioneer to the effect that Judge
Collins should either resign from
the bench or withdraw from the
political contest upon which he
has entered is being endorsed by
thinking men all over the state,
Every human mind is influenced
by its hopes and fears and with
the nomination for governor as
the goal of his ambitions it is im
possible that Judge Collins
should see questions whose de
cision might affect his candidacy
in exactly the impartial light
that he would view them had he
nothing personal at stake. It is
common custom that no judge
presides in the trial of a cause
wherein he even in the past
served as an attorney. Yet here
is a judge openly urging himself
for political preferment and at
the same time sitting in judg
ment in causes whose decision
may materially further or retard
his political preferment. has said that panics
never come when they are
feared. It is well said. And by
that token we may rest assured
that there will be no panic dur
ing the coming year. For more
than twelve months now business
men have been apprehensive of
"hard times." But until the
presidential campaign was well
under way times continued very
good, and we may be confident
that they will not be worse than
they always are the year of a
rational election.
THE Minnesota State Teach
er's Association is in session at
St. Paul this week., Minnesota's
progress in education has been
something marvelous and the
state is today, a pattern for well
nigh every other state in the
Union. The annual getting to
gether of the teachers of the
state lias helped this much and
the session of 1903 will doubtless
schools.
I MISERY really loves com-
pany the democrats of the nation
who can't find a candidate for
president and the republicans of
Minnesota whocan't findanybody
to go against Bob Dunn should get
together and tell each other
their troubles. The aforesaid
troubles are really not interest-
ing to anyone else.

MURDERE CHIL
Jane Williams Convicted of Ter
rible Crime at Brainerd
Last Saturday.
Jane Williams, a woman of the
town, who has been on trail at
Brainerd for the murder of her
child was found guilty of murder
in the first degree by the jury in
the trail shorty after six o'clock
last Saturday night. The crime
was one of the most heartless
and appalling ever committed in
the state and from the evidence
adduced the verdict of the jury
is regarded as an entirely just
one. The crime for which Mrs.
Williams was indicted and last
night found guilty was commited
on the morning of August 23,
last, when the little two and a
half year old daughter of Mrs.
Willians was murdered at Brai
nerd. On Friday August 21,
Mrs. Willians and her little
daughter were ejected from home
by the mother-in-law, Adelia
Williams. The mother and child
wandered about the street at
night and were finally given a
bed by the police officer. The
next day they shifted about until
early in the evening, when Mrs.
Willians met two men, John Bur
rig and George Dill, the three
walked about the city for some
time and finally Mrs. Willians,
Dill and the baby left Burrig,
went across the Mississippi river
west of town, comming back
about 12 o'clock at night. The
next morning the woman ap
peared on the street without the
child, saying that it had been
lost. Suspecion was aroused
and the river dragged with the
result that the little body was
found near the bridge. The evi
dence showed that the mother
had deliberately taken the baby
and thrown it into the river.
Cries of" Mamma" don't Mamma
don't hurt.," were heard across
the river which were afterwards
learned to have been those of the
little girl. Mrs. Willians, Dill,
and Burrig wers arrested, but
Burrig was dismissed at the pre
liminary hearing. An indictment
was returned against Dili on
the charge of adultery and yester
day he pleaded guilty, but was
not sentenced.
