Judge Reeder's claim on the Voter.
He was for many years Railroad
Attorney, and if he has given up his
free pass, it should be made known at
once.
He has been reversed in ten out of
eighteen cases in the Supreme Court of
Kansas.
1t has cost $9375. 10 to run the District
Court of Ellis County three and one half
years. Nineteen men went to the
Penitentiary, and eighteen of whom
pied guilty.
He has shown how he allowed attor-
ney's fees to his brother and others,
nine times as large as Judge Monroe
did.
In the matter of the estate of Lent
$5110; Attys Fees $685..
In the matter of the Mormon parti-
tion $3841, Attys Fees $1,000.
Judge Monroe allowed 5000 in a case
which had $9375 involved. Compare
the size Eof: the estate and the attorney S
fees.
he has raised one lawyer from the
lposition of an ordinary practioneer
very, to one of the most sought after
attorneys in the district; when this at
torney appears and dead mans money
pays the bill, he seems to command a
greater fee than that of the best legal
talent in the State of Kansas.
That he has followed the law in
protecting orphans. Has he in the Lent
and Mormon cases?
He was so busy fixing up fences that
he did not care to listen to any cases in
Trego county, and did not make an ap-
pearance at all in Sharon Springs on
the 9th.
The man who is busy explaining his
record by broad casting the District
with hand bills showing how just and
equitable he is and will continue to be.
The man who says that the reading
of public record is an attack.
Many other good and sufficient
reasons why Judge Reeder should be
defeated Chm. D. J. c.. Adv

Our Prophecy.

While we are not prophet nor the
son of prophet but it is becoming a
fad to give weather forecasts, so here
is our prediction for November. During
the first half there will be some brisk
winds from the north, but every day
the sun will rise, and often there will
be gloomy skies; some days, however,
may be fair, with southern winds and
mellow skies, Those things will hap
pen sure we know, because they always
happen so. This good months moon
will be full, and Office seekers work a
''pull." Some lucky ones will land the
prize, while other men esteemed as
wise will fail in all they undertake and
find they've made sad mistake, for
Charlatans to fortune ride while modest
worth is thrown aside. These things
will happen, we know, because they've
always happened so. In this good
month of 1906, the boys and girls will
have their fun. They'll go to parties,
dance and spark; they'll kiss each other
in the dark; they'll marry and begin
their life, happy, hopeful man and
wife; and sometime they will own kid
just like their dads and mammies did.
These things will happen sure we
know, because they've always happen
ed so.

Normal Entertainment.

The Madrigal Lady Entertainers at
Normal Auditorium last Saturday even
ing was a rare treat in the line of mus
ical entertainments Almost every
number was encored and the violinist,
Mrs. Hite, was brought back for a
third selection. If the other four en-
tertainments are as high class as the
first one we are safe in predicting that
no one will have to ask "Pa" Picker
for his money back.
We have one kick to register, though
against the Normal stage. The ladder
like entrance is very inconvenient a.
we'll as ungraceful; we hereby move
that the management construct a new
and more suitable stage entrance be

Judge Reeder is explaining" the
Lent and the Mormon cases and how
it happened that $685. were allowed in
attornies' fees. The Judge says he was
powerless. Turn to Secs. no. 5115 and
5116 of the General Statutes of Kansas
1901. 1t happens to be the law that
governs in such cases where land is to
be divided says distinctly that the
Court has the ''fullpower" and further
"and to make orders that may be neces-
sary to make just and equitable par
tition between the parties and to Sc
cure their respective interests" Was
it absolutely necessary to do the right
thing to allow such big attorneys
fees? Chm. D. j. C.-Adv.

Judge Reeder Explains

The 1885 fee and the $1,000 fee has
been explained by a printed circular.
1t is claimed that the parties agreed
on everything and that was why such
fees were allowed" If you read it
this is the way you will think about
the whole matter: what would have
happened if there had been more coun-
SELF"
"The Explanation" fails to notice
that Gen. Stat. 5115 & SIG has any
thing to say about an equitable parti-
tion.
Figures never lie. The records show
that the last four years of Judge Mon
roe come to over $500 and Judge Reed
er's administration little over $4,000
So far so good. But ask these quest
ions about the two administrations. =
