Circuit Judge.

| On the 9Th of November next
iuaqe will be eleotedsfrom the counties
of Jefferson, Berkeley and Morgan
comprising the 18th judicial circuit.
The office is an important one to every
man woman aud child within the
counties, and to litigants who NAV
be required to come into the court
OF these counties.
| The present incumbent. Judge H..
BOYD Faulkner, has been nominated
by his party. and the republican
party through its regular channel has
announced that it will place no nomi-
nee in the field against BIN; there
fore. evey republican is left to deter.
mine for himself for whom he will
vote for that office. Both newspapers
and voters are at liberty to settle this
question for themselves and to advise
others as to what it is best to do
Judge Faulkner has been on the
bench some years has had great ex-
perience nobody disputes: that he is
an able. capable, honest, just and
impartial Judge and that he has no
superior as lawyer in the circuit; that
as citizen he ranks with the best :;
that he is laborious. studious, pains-
taxing in the investigation of cases,
prompt in the dispatch of business,
and has saved several thousands OF
dollars to the counties and litigents
by his systematic arrangement OF the
docket and trial of cases, and with
it all, is courteous to LAWYERS. suitors,
witnesses, officers and all who have
ANYTHING to do in or about the court.
Now, such being the case, WHY
should any republican hesitate for one
moment to vote for him. In several
circuits of the state the democrats
have refused to nominate against the
republican nominees when good and
experienced men have been played ID
nomination by the republicans. When
voter casts his vote in this instance
he knows exactly what character of
person he is voting for. There is no
unknown quantity about it.

Changing the Issue.

A desperate attempt is being made
by the democratic party to divert the
peoples attention from the great ma
tional issues of protection and pros
perity versus free trade aud poverty.
The word has been passed all along
the lins to the county workers to
drop all reference to tariff robbery.
Roosevelt's big stick, negro equality,
the man on horse back. constitution
wrecking. and all the other sins which
they charge the republican rartv with.
All the democratic orators and news
papers are ordered to turn their atten-
ton to the great "robber tax bill. >"
and to denouncv Dawson as its author,
forgetting that Henry G.. Davis and
Judge Holt were both sponsors of
the measure. However, after they
have howled themselves into a frenzy
over this thew will doubtless get tired
of this kind of jingoism aud try to
throw dust into the ewes OF the peo-
pie in some otherway.
The fact about the tax question can
be stated very simply. Enough
money can be raised on franchises
and licenses to run this state with
out any state tax, We're it not for
the fact that Hon. John J. Gornwell
and his adherents defeated the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
the state tax could and would have
been totally wiped out before 1908.
As it is. the small sum of cents on
the one hundred dollars has been left
on simply TO obey the law, not be-
cause it is needed, but as a monu-
ment to the republican party in spite
of the bitter OPPOSITION of the democrats
who W ished to make poverty a crime.
They tried to deprive poor man of
the right to vote by refusing TO per-
nit the amendment abolishing state
tax go through unless they we're 81.
lowed TO tack on an amendment deny-
ing the right to vote If those wlo
were too poor to nav their taxes.
The truth is that after 1908 the tax
question will he purely a local issue,
aud every county will have the right
to make their taxes just as low as they
please. But, under no consideration,
can thew go above 60 cents ON the
one hundred dollars including the levy
for road purposes. Therefore, ii be-
hooves the people to see who are
elected members of the county court
We do not hesitate to saw that if the
county court keeps on managing the
affairs of the county in the high
handed manner that it has in the past,
such as increasing the interest bearing
debt when there was no necessity for
it; paying interest illegally on county
orders; being too cowardly to raise
the levy; illegally paying the sheriff
interest ON county orders Ito which he
is entitled) that our county taxes are
bound to be higher

TRICKS THAT ARE VAIN.
Maine Indians Found Out in Making
 False Seals Noses.

Maine Indians Found Out in Making @-e False Seals Noses.
 Bangor Special.
 By the exposure this week of a re- nnarkable scheme of swindling. it has been demonstrated that the Maine Indian is not half so innocent as he looks. Some years ago the legislature passed a law providing for the payment of a bounty of $1 each on all seals killed in Maine waters, it having been represented that the animals were especially destructive to food fishes. The law provides that upon the presen- tation of the noses of the seals to the treasurer of the nearest town the bounty shall be paid, the town being reimbursed by the State. In this way many thou sands of dollars have been paid out, mostly to Indians, who are the greatest hunters along the coast.
 For some years the hunting of seals went on without any noticeable results, but 1t has been observed that some of the Passamaquoddy Indians have been killing surprisingly large number of seals and getting large amounts in bounties Two Indians apeared last week at the office of the town treasurer of Freeport with 200 seals noses. for which they. received S20O. This was the result of few nights work. At other towns scores of. seals noses were brought in for bounty. and the money was paid, with no questions asked. No offiical ever took the trouble to inspect the noses closely,

The money has always been paid, and then, according to law, the noses have been burned by the officials paying the bounty But last week one shrewd Yan- kee down the coast smelled a rat when two dissipated Indians had collected sI45 within two weeks in bountes. This sharp official held some of the noses up to the light and discovered that they were not natural. but artificial
