The only thing the Republicans have
found to say about Judge Parker is
that he is David B. Hills man. Well
if a man is to be condemned because of
his supporters let our Republican

Judge Francis Caldwell, of the Sth
judicial district, is likely to have oppo-
sition, says the Belle PLANE Herald, in
the person of Attorney Morrison Of
Norwood. Judge Caldwell is Demo-
crat, has served two terms and at each
election, to the credit of voters of the
district, was chosen from a non-parti-
san standpoint. He is one of the ablest
men in the district, conscientious and
painstaking, and we'll deserves a re-
nomination and reelection at the hands
of his fellowmen. Mr.. Morrison may
become his opponent, but it is not like
ly the voters of the Sth judicial district
will choose him for so important a
position as this.

OFFICIALS THOUGHT THE
CITY HALL WAS ON FIRE

solutely fire proof. but 1t is not so with
other parts of the building. For this rea-
son everyone should be very careful es-
peoially In the attic or fifth floor of the
building. Two military companies have
quarters up there and in my opinion
rules or laws should be adopted by the
CITY authorities prohibiting smoking in
the place.
..The attic is not finished up except with
rough pine. and the soldiers shoNd be
very careful. A fire could shoulder up
there for hours. and before the alarm
was given the entire floor could be on
fire. Cards should be printed telling all
who go up In the fifth MOOR not to smoke
or to strike matches"
In constructing the city hall provision
was made for two elevators but only
one was ever installed. Mr.. stockmar
said yesterday afternoon that he did not
think the second elevator would ever be
installed. The cost would be between
$4,000 and $4,000.
