The KeeleU Laws And Other laws.

We can't quite agree with our es-
teemed correspondent "Ole Oleson''
on some Of his conclusions regarding
the Kelley cure law.
No doubt the Kelley treatment is a
good thing for men who have CON
tracted an appetite for strong drink,
but it does not necessarily follow that
the county should be taxed for
persons desiring and needing treat
ment. There.are many good things
that the county cannot reasonably be
expected to support.
If drunkenness is a disease, as is
claimed by the Keeleyites, why should
it be treated at the county's expense
any more than lung fever, catarrh or
indigestion should be?
Taking the Kelley cure like taking
other. medical treatment is private
matter and the expense should be
borne blythe patient himself or his
friends. Buff public funds were to be
used they should come from the city
or town where the patient resides,
rather than from the county at large.
We can hardly agree either that
poor men are SO badly used in this
country. G They have the same pro-
lection from assault and violence that
the rich have Their children are
educated at the. public expense. The
privilege to vote is freely granted
without regard to property.qualifica-
tons. Many other blessings might be
enumerated 1t is hard to be poor
but we should not be too hasty in
blaming the law for our unfortunate
condition. Ii law could make nybody
rich this would be very different
world from what il is.

The U. 5. consul at Erzeroum re-
ports that the number Of Armenian
children under 2 years Of age made
orphans by the massacres of 1896
alone, amounts to over 10000. In
the face Of such awful conditions,
known to the whole civilized world,
how hollow,is the pretense that We
accept the doctrine that all men are
brothers and that the claims of hui
mainly for protection are world wide!

The New Premier.


Senator Sherman began public life
fifty years ago. He was delegate to
the Wing National convention in 184S,
and again in 1852. lie was the presi
dent Of the first Republican state con-
vention held in Ohio in 1855. He
entered Congress in 1856 and re-
manned in the lower house till '6I
when he was promoted to the senate,
serving there continuously till 1877,
when he became secretary of the
treasury in Pres. Hayes cabinet. He
returned to the senate in 1881 and
has remained there ever since.
Senator Sherman's great reputation
as a legislator was built up chiefly
through his mastery management of
financial measures. yet he has always
been close aud earnest student of
foreign relations, and since his return
to the senate in 1881 he has been a
leading member and for, the greater
part D The time chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee.

The New York Tribune calls atten-
ton to the fact that every State that
cast its vote for Abraham Lincoln in
1850, in 1896 voted for VIM. Mckinley
and all the States that cast their
electoral votes for Jefferson Davis in
500, also voted for VIM. j. Bryan in
1896. These facts are among the
most remarkable in our political his
tory. 1t is also worthy of remark
that Mr. McKinley's majorities were
larger in all the States he carried than
were those Of Mr.. Lincoln in 1860.

SeCtarian Instruction.

MADISON. WIS. Jan 21-Assem-
blyman Frank T. Tucker OF Omro, has
nearlg completed the draft of bill
which he will probably introduce
next week. The bill provides that
no pa bile moneys shall be paid to any
school district in the state in the
scho IS of which seetarian instruction
is giseu. It is provided in the state
con- tuition that no sectarlan instruc-
ton shall be allowed in the public

wh 3 Q school began giving sectarian
ms ruction It ceased to be a public
sshool within the meaning of the con
sti'ution, and he accordingly set out
circulars TO this effect From the de-
cision Of the Supreme court in the
Edgerton Bible case it might be in
ferred that if the matter were to be
tested in The court it would be held
that schools in which sectarian in
struction was given were irregular
but that the giving Of such instruc-
ton did not deprive them OF their
rights rs public schools under the

were to be withheld from such schools

Election OF County Judge.

The county judgeship is the most
important trust in the power OF the
people of the county to confer. The
amount OF business that passes
through the Office is large, the legal
questions that arise are numerous and
perplexing, the points in law and
equity wherein the iudgeJmust exer-
else his discretion require a man of
profound knowledge, broad views and
liberal common sense. Not every
well-informed lawyer would make a
good Judge Not every able jurist
would satisfactorily I'LL the position
of county Judge. for in addition to the
strictly judicial duties of the office
there is the grave responsibility of
guardianship. The judge is in a
sense guardian of the heirs-widows
and orphans-of deceased property
owners of the county, He must see
to it that the weak and ignorant are
not defrauded out of their own, nor
left to battle alone with the strong
ana unscrupulous.
The gifts Of mind and training that
make a good county judge are not
common and when an officer has been
tried in the place and has proven him
self thoroughly competent for its
many and arduous duties, it is not
wise to make change. The princi-
pie of rotation in office has no proper
application to offices where experience
counts for so much
The Office Of county Judge during
Geo. b. Carriers term has been admir-
ably conducted Mr.. Carter is thor
ough, well versed in law, painstaking
and eminently fair and just in all his
official decisions. 1t is generally con-
coded that he is a superior Judge.
For these reasons we advocate the
denomination and election Of Judge
SArtef lie Is IN the prime OF lie,
active and vigorous. and may reason
ably be expected to administer the
Office with efficiency and to the salts
faction Of the people.
There are numerous other gentle
men mentioned for the place who
would probably learn the duties of
the Office and fill it with credit. But
it must be emembered that every
such change is an experiment and
while we might get good Judge at
the first trial we might also find sew
eral mistits before securing an officer
who fills the responsible position with
the success and ability that Judge
Carter does

Notwithstanding that farm insti-

large and that there should be moth

scheming in them, there has been a
very determined effort made to use
them as means of boosting distln-
