 Greene a Candidate. ...-t
 Judge Samuel E. Greene of the Jefferson County Criminal Court. will be candi- date for Probate Judge of Jefferson County in the next election, November, 1904.
 Fer some days the friends of Judge Greene have had the matter under dis cussion, and while he has not formally announced for the position and has. 60 far as is known. made no public utter ance as to his intention, 1t is understood that he has been consulted upon the sub- ject and that he will not decline to make the race
 At present Judge Greene Is engaged in the trial of the case of Glen Havis, charged with the killing of Elias M. Lafhem, and he preferred not to be quoted at this time when approached by re- porter.
 Judge Greene has been on the bench in the Criminal Court since its creation, over fifteen years ago. and has made an ervfable record. If he formally enters the race for Probate Judge, a position now held by Judge J. P. Stiles, the race will no doubt be one of the most inter- esting witnessed in Jefferson County in years, especially so should Judge Stiles seek to succeed himself, which is alto- gether probable.

Of common sense for the statement,
that the rain falls on the just and the
unjust alike. When the hand of the
Lord is heavy upon any body of men.
the wisdom of man can do but little.
Now and then in our country drought,
floods, pestilence, trouble and mis-.
fortune will come, but oh, my friends,
now as l look at you, men and women
of this state, l know that all our
troubles are temporary, that misfor-
tunes will be met and overcome, be-
cause in heart and hand an American
citizen is able to win his way in the
long run.
When a misfortune that human
wisdom cannot avoid comes, of course
there will be suffering and misery.
Those of us who are free from it must
try to tighten it all we can, but we
cannot help the fact that there will
be much suffering. Furthermore, If
Trough our own folly we do what is
wrong, if we act wrongly in matters

ger agent of the Illinois Central rail-

fights when he has to, but how that
same type behaves in peace. Just ex-
acey as it is with the citizen so it
should be with the nation.
Don't fight unless you have to-"

to, let the other man know there has
