AMENDMENT SHOULD PASS.

WHEN lawyers agree it is a
pretty safe proposition that their
position is right. However the
matter of increasing the nnm-
Der of Supreme Court Judges
is not merely a matter Of con-
Germ to the lawyers, whose ex-
perience with the Supreme
Court has convinced them that
there should be more Judges.
People of the entire state are in
terested in this, and ali who have
investigated conditions agree
that the membership of the
court should be increased.
There is hardly a state in the
Union Of the importance Of Wis
consin that requires SO much of
its judges as Wisconsin, and the
members of the court have ap-
pealed to the people of the state
to relieve them. Lawyers prac-
ticing before the court are salts
fed that the appeal Of the judges
is warranted, and are unanimous
ly supporting the proposed
constitutional amendment in
creasing the number of the
Court from five to seven judges.
There is too much work piled
upon the Supreme Court of this
state, and the result is that iti-
cation cannot help but drag
along at times, greatly affecting
the work of the court and caus-
ing great embarrassment to liti-
giants. The state bar associa-
ton claims that the Supreme
Court judges of this state are
compelled to perform twice as
much work as those of any other
state in the union of equal i'm
portance with US. The fact that
the proposed constitutional
amendment was passed without
opposition by the legislature of
1901 and withouta single dissent,
ing vote by the legislature of this
year, is conclusive evidence that
the proposed amendment should
receive the support of the people
Of the state. The amendment is
simply to provide relief in the
only possible manner for an over
worked court, and to provide for
the proper administration of
justice. Do not foreget the
amendment when you come TO
vote next Tuesday.

THURSDAY. JANUARY 8. 1908:
Prospect and Retrospect.

Casting retrospective glance over
the past twelve months our people,
both Of town and county, find much
cause for congratulation. Com
pared with last year this time
the county is in prosperous
condition and the people are full Of
hope and energy born of confidence
in the future. The farmers of the
county have made good crops gener-
kally, which has enabled them to
peet their obligations and left more
br less surplus. Some who fell be-
bind last year have paid out in full
md once more are experiencing the
pleasant sensation of being out of
debt.
This state of things is extremely
gratifying to MS all and all the more
so when We contrast the present
conditions with those that obtained
a year ago, Every week or two last
fall. a merchant went into bank
ruptcy and his place Of business was
closed. These bankrupt stocks
being thrown on the market caused
an unnatural and unhealthy condi-
ton of trade and resulted in ruinors
competition.
The Bank of Kingstree was just
organized and there were those who
predicted that here was another pre-
obstinate failure.
Compare this condition with that
of the present. An of our merchants
have enjoyed fine trade this fall
and not a single business failure has
been reported. The Bank of King
stree, whose untoward fate was
lamented in advance, has grown to
be a lusty financial STRIPPING and
its stock is selling away above par.
Its net earnings. amounted to 1S5
per cent at the close of the first year
of its existence, as fine showing or
finer than any similar institution in
the State with the same amount of
,itak stock.
The outlook for Kipgstree seems
brighter than ever before. New
buildings are going. up and others
are being planned. Before the next
season opens We are promised one
tobacco ware house in town and
possibly two. We are also led to
believe that ere another new year
comes around we shall have a new
school building that will be an
ornament to the town and a credit to
our county. ), This is truly ga consumrt rt !
nation deyoutly to be hoped" :,97
The town has now great oppor-
tunity.to. 60 forward; let us stald
shoulder to shoulder and "seize the
day." Pulling in different directions
has too often exhausted our energies
and neutralized our efforts for ad-
vancement. In the language of
of D'Artagnan let us henceforth be
"one for all and all for one," and let
that one be Kipgstree.

or curved breast feathers mounted on
crinoline, are trained in this direc-
ton.

The system is of the so-called mono
rail type, that is, the engine and cars
rest upon one rail which is about half
way from the floor to the top of the
car. By arranging the seats back to
back like an Irish jaunting car, the
construction is such that each of the
carriages straddle the rail, and ex-
tends to trucks on either side below
the floor. On these trucks are set
wheels which lie horizontally and run
on the outside of two other rails. They
thus act as steadiers, and admit of
very high velocity with safety, and

Menace the Kiel Canal.

Among the German naval strase-
gists who are interested in the Brit
ish scheme for new naval base in
the Firth of Forth is Captain Revent-
low, a well-known writer on naval
affairs. In recent article in Ber-
lin periodical he asserts that the es-
adjustment of base and the pres
ence OF squadron in the Firth of
Forth will diminish enormously the
strategic value of the Kiel canal, by
enabling Great Britain, in the event
of war with Germany, to deliver sim
ultaneous attacks in the Baltic and
the North Sea.
