Sudden Death Of Judge Beattie

Our community was greatly stirred
Wednesday afternoon to hear OF the sud-
den death OF Hon. J. II. Beattie, of
Brunswick second assistant judge of
Essex County. He was sitting in the
Office of the Fitzgerald Land x Lumber
Co, bv whom he was frequently EN-
ployed as a surveyor, explorer and III
estimating timber lands, when he fell
from his chair seemingly in fit. DIR,
Sargent was called, but Judge Beattie
never recovered consciousness. and
passed away in less than a half an hour.
Mr.. Beattie was born in Maidstone,
January Il. 1917. In 1869 he located
in Brunswick, and has since resided
there. He represented Brunswick III the
General Assembly in ls72-73-74-75, and
Essex County in the State Senate 1896
81. In 1906 he was elected second
assistant Judge of this county. In addi-
ton he has been continually entrusted
nv his townsmen with the most import
ant town offices. November 30, 1873
he was married to Celia NJ. French of
| Brunswick, who with three children sur
yive him. To these so suddenly be.
reaved we tender our sincere sympathy

WATER INSURANCE

TT is shrewdly pointed out by keen
observer that the Wall street
4 men who are obtaining insurance
against the probable election Of Mr..
Bryan are really insuring the water in
the stocks of special privilege corpora
Nons. They are insuring their stocks
of water against damage by Organism,
which is a first rate "ism"-one that
really means something. These Wall
street men who think Bryan will be
elected are paying premiums of 10 per
cent for insurance on the water in
their stocks, and no better proof than
this could possibly be given of the
truth of all that has been charged
by Bryan and La Toilette with regard
to overcapitalization and stock water
ing. These timorous souls are paying
500 on $1,000 worth of stocks for three
and a half months insurance. This in
surance is most significant. 1t is a
confession that the Republican party
is the bulwark of privilege, it's pro-
tector, its fosterer, its guardian angel
or it's patron saint. No honest man
with an intellect accustomed to con-
scientious modes of thought would
assert that any legitimate business
could possibly be menaced by the cleo
ton of Mr. Bryan. But 1t is certain
that insurance is being taken, that rates
are being quoted, that transactions
are being effected, and The Herald has
already called attention to this latest
and not least curious phase of modern
politics. The fact is, the fear of
Bryan's election is as real within GER
tain business" circles as the figures
and transactions would indicate.
The "financiers" who are insuring the
privilege of compelling the public to
nav big dividends on inflated valua-
tions not only fear Bryan, but fear
the attorney general whom President
Bryan will appoint. The Wall street
gamblers and owners of special privi-
lege believe Bryan will be elected, be-
lieve a square deal government will be-
come a reality, not name, and the
spectacle presented by Wall street is
that of roguery in full retreat before
the army of Honesty and Americanism,
whose merry music is sounding louu
and clearly from lover the hills, NOT
far away"
