JOHN BARNES.
An Honest. Able Fearless, and Up
right Man.

John Barnes, now a candidate for
justice of the Supreme Court, was born
on farm in Manitowoc county in 1859;
was educated in the common schools,
Manitowoc high school, and Oshkosh
normal. Taught school, studied law
and graduated from the law school of
Wisconsin University in 1888. For two
years he worked in law office; then
settled at Rhinelander and devoted
himself to the practice of his profession.
Was chosen municipal Judge of Onei-
da county almost unanimously, and
declined re-election; served as presi-
dent of the school board, and was ac-
lively identified with the cause of educa-
ton in that city, giving literally of his
time to public affairs, but he has never
been an active politician.
When Mr.. Barnes settled at Rhine
lander, the northern half of the state
was wilderness, and during its en-
tire development he has been actively
identified with the settlement of all
the legal questions which have arisen
in that part of the state. His practice
has covered all fields of litigation.
Pioneer settlements, logging, lurp ber-
ing, mining, farming, manufacturing
and water power development are all
subjects which have called for his skill
in both advice and litigation. In the
important subject of taxation and tax
titles he has figured more prominently
than any other lawyer in that part of
the state, as will be shown by refer
ences to the reports of the Supreme
Court. He has been engaged as coun-
sci in the most important cases arising
in that section, and particularly in
cases involving the collection of taxes
against large property owners. No
locality has furnished to the practicing
lawyer anywhere near so wide range
of experience, and few lawyers have so
completely covered the whole field of
general practice as has Mr.. Barnes.
His fame as lawyer is not local, and
he has been, for number of years
recognized as one of the leading law
yers of the state, and when the import
ant legal questions involved in the La
Follette-Cook controversy were before
the Supreme Court for settlement, Mr..
Barnes was chosen, by reason of his
peculiar fitness and ability, and not be-
cause of any political affiliations to
represent Governor La Toilette in that
celebrated career

in June, 1905 member of the newly

The Independent Record Herald

The Independent Record Herald
1t just now seems as if Walter Well
man, the correspondent of the Chicago
Record Herald, had received his orders
from the editorial management of that
paper to shut off all further favorable
mention of William Jennings Bryan.
In recent dispatch he very adroitly
demonstrates the difference between
tweedle dunl and tweedle dee and goes
on to show that from Middleton to
Middleton is fourteen miles and that
if Roosevelt has appropriated Bryan's
policies, and that if Bryan wculd pur-
sue the Roosevelt policies, were he
elected, what would be the use in
changing from Roosevelt or from Taft,
who would be Roosevelts proxy, to
Bryan.
Ii has been a faxorite game of the
Chicago Record Herald for years to
pose as an independent paper, to i'm.
press the public with its fairness and
and impartiahty and in this way worm
itself into public confidence and sup
port up to what might be termed the
psychological moment and then, like
an attorney in criminal case, bend its
energies TO sway the jury that it's client
may be spared.

The Wave Of AnarchfSn.

1.-The wave of anarchism which seems
to be moving over the country merits
summary treatment, and that is the
sort of treatment, apparently, which it
is to get in some quarters. The activi-
ties of the police and the rigorous or
ders issued by the Secretary of Com.
merce and Labor are wholesome.
No thoughtful person will argue that
anarchism is an easy thing to suppress
Its adherents oppose all restraint, and
therefore they are averse to all law.
Their hatred of restraint grows in in

GROVER CLEVELAND, the only living
ex.president of the United States, was
seventy-one years old Thursday, March
18th. He has lived in practical retire
ment since he left the White House
more than ten years ago. Felicitous
greetings came from all sections of the
country and from men and women in all
walks of life and of all shades of politi-
cal belief. At seventy-one years of age
Mr.. Cleveland is still in pretty good
health, which he attributes to his fish
ing and hunting trips AID other forms
of outdoor enjoyment.

Mr.. BAsHFoRD is from the city of
Madison. Judge Siebecker is also of
the city of Madison. Six of the judges
of the Supreme court as now constituted
are from practically the southerly third
of Wisconsin. There is now but one
judge from the northern two-thirds of
Wisconsin on the Supreme bench.
Why is not the northerly two-thirds of
Wisconsin more entitled to two judges
IN that high court than the city of
Madison? The northern half of Wis
consin has had, and still has. legal
problems peculiar to that section of the
state, a line of litigation with which
John Barnes, by reason of his eminent
ability and long and successful exper-
fence as practicing attorney, is emf
nently fitted to deal. By reason of
these facts he would be a valuable &C
QUESTION to the Supreme court.

5 IL inches, and this was said to
be a record
Last season, however. in this city.
Miss Fitzgerald bettered that height
by an inch and a half, and can top it
already this year without training.
The remarkable feature of Miss Fitz.

that she is only feet g inches in
