SORRY FOR JOHN MARTIN
Once a Leading Citizen and Lawyer Hum
bled by His Ambition.

Once a Leading Citizen and Lawyer Hum
bled by His Ambition.
A gentleman who saw John Martin in
this city day before yesterday describes
him in the most pathetic language as
an exemplification of the ruinous prin-
ciple of permitting politics to interfere
with business. 81 used to know John
Martin very we'll in the days of his
glory he said, ''and when l saw him
this time l felt sorry for him. Just
think of it: Martin is a man who held
a high position IN the politics of the
state and people went TO him 10 request
him 10 be a candidate. Now he comes
down to the people begging that they
honor him with a position that would
be rendered to him on silver server
only a few years ago. During the IN
tervening time he has been United
States senator but came out a smaller
man than when he went in. Greatness
is very fleeing thing. John Martin
is now a caStaway politician scarcely
in touch with anybody. He is practical
~ a stranger in the courts where he
once shone respondent and all because
of his ambition TO be a politician. Il IS
my opinion that in a few years more
he will be forgotten entirely and allow
ed 10 grow aged. cTusty and rusty like
so many men who have sacrificed their
natural occupations and professions 70
become politicians and statesmen. In
personal appearance he shows that he
is not prosperous and even the general
manner that once characterized him
are going fast. If he had let politics
alone he would still be a prominent man
and always an honored and fiattered
citizen -

LAW BUSINESS Is DECLINING
Lawyers HIVE a Very Blue Outlook Before
Them Now

How to make a living is the serious
problem that confronts large percent
age of the lawyers of Wichita at the
present time. II IS occupying more of
their attentions than are the great prob
lens and policies of state and national
government. They are not bothered
over how the government is getting
| along financially, but are bothered over
how they are to get along financially
themselves. A group of them were talk
ing seriously about the matter in the
district court yesterday and all agreed
that the future of the law business
looks pretty dark and diScoura ging.
Judge Dale came down off the bench
and talked with them while StenOgraph-
er Frank Dean and Balif Joe Furnish
were also interested spectators and lis
teners. Everybody remembers how
crowded the court was q. few years ago
with business. People thought there
would be work ahead for five years. In
stead of that the court is now practical
" idle and If law business don't i'm
prove Judge Dale will have more than
half his time unoccupied after the next
term. Then again all the cases pend
ing are little ones that do not involve
more than 500 and the fees for trying
them must necessarily be very small.
For days at a time there is not a case
filed in the district court and that not
only effects the lawyers but it material
ly effects the prosperity Sof the district
clerk and his employees, the stenograph-
ers and balifs and the sheriff and his
deputies. None of the officers connected
with the court is a snap any more-that
is, none of them is the snap that it used
TO be.
Lawyers all over the west have the
same complaint. Judge Dale said that
he has recently talked with the judges
of neighboring districts as well as some
from other western states and that they
all have observed the decline of the law
business.
1t is said that when the people pros
per the law business is going in the 9th
er direction. If that is the case the peO-
pie are prospecting greatly.
What is true Of the law business in
the district court is also true of the To-
cal courts. The three justices of the
city have not enough business on hand
to keep one of them half way busy.

Last night the Republican COMMITTEES
Of the Third ward met and filled the va
cancy caused by the resignation Of Mr..
Hart with Mr.. William Inness, the gen.
tleman who so ably represented the
Third ward in the city council at pres
ent.
The committee were unanimous n
their selection OF Mr.. Innes and made
it in obedience TO the desire of represen-
tative business men who have long since
recognized the work of Mr.. Innes as =
faithful representative Of the business
interests.
Mr.. lines is the senior member of the
firm Of lines & Ross Of North Main
street. He was elected TO the council
two years ago. II was the first official
position of a political nature that he
ever held, but from the start he parti-
cipated in all the doings and delibera
tons of the council and none of them
has done better work He filed two
or three Of the important committees
and he did the work assigned TO him
with as much care as If 1t was part of
his own private business.
In the council he has always been a
most genial and courteous gentleman
and is well liked by every member al
though he is outspoken and aggressive
in whatever he believes TO be right
There is no question about his election.
Business man and progressive liberal
and level-headed men of every party
will vote for him. His nomination will
help the entire ticket as he has a great
many friends who will register in his
interest.
Registration is now the thing to be
considered. Compared with this time
in other years il is 90 per cent lighter
than il has ever been. OF course there
will be something like a full registra-
ton but it will be slow in getting on the
books. This is not right. There is
no reason why people should wait for
the last day and then crowd the clerk $
office. Business is not altogether so
rushing but what every man san take a
few moments off TO go to the City build
ing and register. This should be espec-
tally the case with businehs men and
taxpayers. They, especially. feel the
necessity and Importance Of electing
good men both in the council and the
school board TO the end that there shah
be no squandering of the city finance
but that every dollar shall be paid out
in accordance with the contemplation of
the law and in conformity with good
business principles.
There will be a strong opposition tic
ket-strong in the sense that a terrible
fight will be made for il. II will not
be a Disbursements or taxpayers ticket,
but ii will be made TO command the sup
port OF the local politicians to the end
that IL a part of il is elected IL may
encourage the contemplated fusion in
opposition to the Republican ticket this
fall
1t is very essential that all Republi-
cans should register. not for the pur-
pose of helping people into good Offices
as is usually the case in county elections
but for the purpose of electing men TO a
position of trust who have the honesty
and ability and the willingness to work
for the best interests OF the city, the
schools and the taxpayers.
