not be given months in which to
pay a little at a time.
Seventh: That allcases should
be reported to the county, and
all fines collected by the court
and all fees belonging to the
office should be paid over.
Eighth: That the Judge oil
this Court has time and again
sentenced people to the Hospital
for the insane in order to secure
the fees, when he has no juris
diction over such cases that be
longing to the Office Of the county
Judge.
Ninth: That there should be
a court in which attorneys have
faith, and before which they will
be glad to practice.
! Tenth: That people have nc
confidence in the integrity of the
Court, and feel that in the trial
of their cases before this Court
that justice is not i'm partially adj
ministered, and that friendship,
politics and hatred govern large
ly the decisions, rather than law
and theclear presentation of facts.
Eleventh.: That when the Iron
River case came before this Court
in which one man with a blow of
a beer bottle cut out the eyes of
another man, binding him for
life, that the fact that the rela-
tives who were rich and power
full, spent several days here, Wis
iting most of the time at the
Municipal Court room, should
not have had any weight with
the Judge in deciding this case,
and that it was a burning shame
that a defendant SO accused
should go free, and be unpunish-
ed.
Twelfth: That the famous
Boudreau case tried before the
Municipal Court, and the spirit
ing OF the defendant out of the
country, and the attempt of
the Judge to thwart justice, and
the subsequent public threshing
given Judge Warden by Sheriff
Mckay, and the vindication of
thesheriff in the Circuit Court, is
evidence that the Municipal
Court is not properly handled or
conducted
Thirteenth: That the public
reprimand given by CircuitJ ndge
Parish of the manner in which
this court was conducted in GER
tain Of its dolngs, at the last term
of the Circuit Court, shows what
the higher Courts think of the
institution.
Fourteenth: That Judge
Warden's Office is kept in a
slovenly manner, that the re
cords are inaccurate and un-
fathomable, that the Judge is in
competent to act as a Judge;
that the Court is without dignity
and lacks the respect of the peo
pie.
Fifteenth: That the position
requires the best ability and alb
solute integrity-and that the
j Judge Of this Court brings
neither to the position.
Sixteenth: Because it is
claimed that in one particular
year that less was turned over
to the county treasurer for the
entire years business than was
collected by the Court in single
tine in a particular case.
Seventeenth: That the fact
that this Court has turned over
only 1901 to the county in the
last four years for fines and fees,
shows that it does not warrant
the paying of salary Of $500 a
year, which amount was secured
through the lobbying of Judge
Warden with the county board.
Eighteenth: Because we don't
believe in Kangaroo Courts.

burn returned in fines and fees

considerable less than $2O0-as

is mistaken in saying that the

is not the case. The Judge, how

we do not believe thai Judge
Warden is the proper D1anto hold
the Office of Municipal Judge and
have always said so. Our objec-
tions are not ola personal nature,
and we Ideny that we are preju-
diced againsthim. We do believe
though, in common with most
people who have watched the
workings ofthe Municipal Court,
that Judge Warden has no claim
to reelection, and will specify
not only our objection. but the
general objection, which prevails,
viz:
First: Judge Warden fire.
quently decides cases in which
he is at the time of making the
decision, or has been prior to the
trial, employed by one of the liti-
giants, as attorney to represent
their side of the case. He there
fore tries his own case before
himself, and the decision is a
foregone conclusion.
Second: The County OF Bay
field and the State of Wisconsin
have expended thousands of
dollars within the jurisdiction of
this Court for the enforcement
of the game laws, and tits motor
ious that there is no man in Bay
field county who has less respect
for those laws than Judge Ward
en-, who hunts the year round.
Third: That if the amount of
money turned over to the county
each year from the Municipal
Court really represents the coun-
tvs share in the division, that
the official records show chat the
court is an expensive luxury for
the taxpayers, and that the
Justice system would cost far
less.
Fourth: That the Judge of
this Court does not attempt to
try a very large number of cases
that come before him. and for
which he can show no plausible
excuse for not hearing; that in
these cases he calls a justice of
the peace to act in his stead, and
that such a course is an addition
al expense of several hundreds
of dollars to the county, which
the taxpayers ought not to bear,
and which is absolutely unjust,
and which has been talked of for
several years as a ''graft. /"
Fifth: That when large
number of witnesses appear

County Clerk for their court

THERE seems to be little doubt
but that the long discussed
mystery has been solved, and
that the new plant to be put in
four miles from this city will be
for the manufacturing of dyna-
mite on very large scale-it will
perhaps be the largest institu-
ton of the kind in the whole
country. Ashland and Washburn
people have been wondering for
a long time why it was that the
promoters of the enterprise con
tintally turned them the deaf
ear when anything was said about
getting them to locate in their
limits. Now tits all plain enough,
and there is little question but
that four miles from town is just
about convenient distance for
dynamite factory. The TIMES
knows but little regarding dyna.
mite, although an explosive read
er sometimes interviews US, and
from every indication, some of
them have been charged with
something fully as explosive as
the stuff that is to be made down
the bay. However we are in
formed that dynamite factories
are completely isolated, and that
the men employed in them usual
ly live three or four miles away
from Elephant. This means that
most Of the families will likely
come to Washburn to live-it
means that the coming sum
mer will most likely be one of !
great business prosperity and
many new buildings. Hundreds |
of new houses will have to be
built to accommodate all these
people, and the probabilities are
that most of these houses will be
built in this city. Of course
some of them may be built in
but even so there will
be great tide of new families to
drift this way. The chances are
that trains will leave here every
on the Omaha and Northern
Pacific to take these men to their
work, returning in the evening.
I'll ere is &, ing to be a demand to rent
houses to all these laborers, and
what's needed most is the houses,
because they are not here at the pre-
sent time. It's up to Washburn, and
the chances are that the town will
meet the new conditions. 1t has
been proposed, and the scheme will
likely meet with general favor, to
donate free of cost the town o fices TO
the new company in case they will
locate their Office here. Inasmuch
as we are to have new public

Used very well for public Offices.
