the New Orleans Picayune shows the
present trend of things:
But all hope .! reducing the taxes
must be gwen up. So far from cutting
down the tax burden. il must be in

men who are posted in the financial
situation realize that the entire tariff
has got to be handled very delicately.
It NAV be revised and resdjusted so as

The Approaching Election,

Tie annual Spring election takes
place Oh the first Tuesday in April.
Besides the Town officers there is also a
County and supreme Judge to Be cleo
ted What the people Of Grant county
are interested most III is the election OF
Probate Judge. Itls without doubt the
most important ctlce in the county.
Every person having property wants to
he sure that in case Of death, and his
estate is TO be administered upon, that
the County Judge knows the rights of
the widow and the fatherless and has
the honesty and integrity to preserve
these rights.
There is an impression prevailing in
certain quarters, and it is being rapidly
taken up and used h Judge Carter
enemies. that ii is more expensive 10
close up an estate now than it used to
BE during the time Judge McGonigal
held the Office; that Judge McGonigal
did not require parties to employ an
attorney eNcep; in extraordinary cases.
That matter was pretty fully answered
in previous issue Of the HERALD. 1t
will be seen by reading that article that
now Judge Carter is not allowed to act as
a,I attorney but that ne must sat a. tie
Judge in all cases that come before him.
This is the law from which there can be
no deviation Now. inasmuch as this
is the case was there ever ANYTHING
more Supremacy silly than to compel an
attorney before he can practice in the
courts to pass rigid examination as to
his competency and qualification ard
then to elect as Judge to decide between
such trained attorneys. man who has

For Justice of Supreme Court

For many years past it has been the
custom in Wisconsin, IN selecting the
Judges of the Supreme Court. 10 avoid.
so far as has been possible, making
that high Office. which ought to be en-
tirely divorced from politics, a thing to
be scrambled or fought for ass polt cal
pride. or given as reward for services
already rendered, or in anticipation of
services, thereafter to be rendered to
any political party.
That custom has worked admirably
1t has resulted in making the Judges of
that Court. IS they ought to be. pgacti.
cally questions, independent in their
decisions upon political questions as
though they wereappointed for lie
This admirable system ought no. to be
destroyed
Judge Webb stands before the voters
of the state today as the embodiment
and representative of that principle,
In politics he is republican and has
been since the organization Of that
party. But it is not as a republican
candidate that he is presented. He
has been called to stand as candidate
for that nigh Office, because of his emf
nent fitness for it, by men of every
shade of political opinion. Those who
know him best are his most ardent
supporters, without regard to their
political opinions. In the part of the
state where he lives and IS known, he
has the hearty support of almost every
leading citizen, whatever may be his
politics, business, trade, occupation or
profession. Such support is the best
possible voucher for his moral charac-
ter ability and fitness for that position.
For these reasons aud because we
know him to be deserving Of support,
the undersigned earnestly appeal to the
voters Of Grant County to cast their
votes at the election on April 9Th. 1898,
for Judge Charles N Webb Of Grand
Rapids, Tor Judge Of the Supreme
Court Of Wisconsin.

SOME of the conductors Of newspapers
in this county seem to think that Judi
cial election is to be decided By caum-
ny abuse and prejudice but the voter
is not to be 50 easily fooled. The voter
knows that it is a business matter he is
ralled upon to decide April ith whether
he shall help elect judge who knows
his duties and has filled the office with
credit to himself and benefit to the tax =
payer, or whether he shall help elect a
man who admits he has no experience
in the law but that he hopes to get some.
TINS election is important to the tax
payer as matter of business. Since
Judge Carter has occupied that bench
the appeals from his decisions have
arranged less than one each year. II a
Judge sits there whose Judgments are
not so respected. appeals must increase.
