A VOTERS VIEW OF THE
JUDGESHIP OF THE
APPELLATE CnHRT

The LEDGER is running in It's edl-
torial columns an advertisement ex-
plotting the qualifications Of Judge
c. @. Bland FOR another twelve-year
term al Judge of st. Louis Court OF
Appeals, salary ffty-hve hundred
dollars a year, Considering the linn
tied amount Of campaign expenses
permissible under the law to a candi-
date, l do not see how this expensive
method Of campaigning can be under
taken. But, on the score Of FAIR
PLAY, l wish to call attention to the
following taken from the news columns
Of the St. Louis Republic:
"wILLIAM CHRIsTY BRYAN INDoRsED.
"An organized movement to further
the candidacy of W. Christy Bryan,
Democratic candidate for Judge OF
st. Louis Court of Appeals, was pro-
jected at an informal dinner for Mr..
Bryan at the Mercantile Club yester-
day afternoon by leading members Of
the St. Louis bar. There were nearly
one hundred representative lawyers at
the dinner, which was presided over
by Judge James A. Seldom. ="
Resolutions endorsing Mr.. Bryan's
nomination we're adopted at the
meeting and a committee appointed
to issue an address, from which the
following extract is made:
civilian hristY Bryan is a trained
lawyer, in the very prime Of life, be-
ing only Al years Of age on his next
birthday; he is thoroughly educated,
being a graduate Of both Princeton
University and the st. Louis Law
School; he was admitted to the bar in
1893, and has been In active practice
since that time; he is man Of clear
Judgment, patient industry and de-
cided fitness for judicial work; he is a
man in vigorous health, and he pos
sesses capacity for hard work, both Of
which are essential to meet the re-
%quirements Of the position. Mr..
Bryan is by birth a MiSsourian, having
been born in st. Louis in 1868, and
has strong and earnest friends In that
city of every shade OF political opin-
ion. 1t is a matter Of record that the
number of petitioners for his nomina-
tion is greater by about 1000 than for
any other candidate. 1t is safe to say
that the selection OF this gentleman
by the nominating Primary would in
, sure his election, as his record is
invulnerable to attack

Pathetic Tragedy of the War Between

the States.
Not all the sad stories of wartime
Nome from the battlefield. Many a
aeartbreak is not recorded on the list
Of the killed and wounded The civil
war knew no more tragic occurrence
than the following incident, taken
from the New York Sun: 4 soldier
had enlisted from his home In Georgia,
where his father remained undisturbed
through the struggle. The young man
fought through the war without
scratch, save a slight wound which
left him little deaf This afliiction
he never mentioned I'm his letters.
After the surrender he sent his ia
Their word that he would reach home
about certain date. Travel then was
uncertain, and he could not tell just
when he would arrive.
His father prepared to receive him.
He had brought out the best plate,
which had been secreted for long
lime, and with gold which had been
exhumed he bought such substantials
and dellcacies as the southern market
at that time afforded. AS many of the
old time neighbors as were living in
the vicinity were invited to the home
coming
The young soldier arrived on the
plantation the night before the earliest
date he had mentioned. 1t was late,
and the family had retired but the
dog heard the noise and began to bark.
The sound reused the father, who rose
and got his shotgun. The country was
overrun at the time with stragglers
and sneak thieves. The father, gun in
hand, went to the door, saw the APP
preaching figure and challenged II.
The young man, being deaf, made no
reply, but still advanced, whereupon
the father raised his gun and fred.
His son fell, shot through the heart.
II was a pitiful sight 20 see that al
most crazed father carrying his life
less son into the home which had been
made ready to welcome him. The
next day the guests arrived. Instead
Of Joyously greeting the returned sol
dler they gazed at the still form,
wrapped In the flag for which the
young man had bravely fought. Ev-
cry private burial ground had In II
grave made by the war. but no funeral
like that ever took place In the vicinity
or possibly In the whole south.

The death of Fred j. Loughead, son
of j. ;. Loughead an old and highly
respected resident of Sarnia, which oc-
CURED at the Sarnia General hospital
at a. m. Friday, was the source of
profound grief and regret to his friends
whom he numbered by legions. Some
weeks ago he was seized with an at
tack of appendicitis, and notwithstand-
ing the attendance of the best medical
skill his case was hopeless and he sue
cumbed. An operation was performed
a few days ago, London specialist
having been called in consultation, and
the operation was successful, but com
plications set in, which it was impossi-
BILE to overcome.
Fred Loughead was known all over
the continent as a champion bicycle
rider and he was one who made Sarnia
famous, winning trophies of value for
himself and honor for his home town.
After quitting the cinder track he be-
came associated with his father in the
hub, spoke and bent goods manufactu-
ring business. OF late the firm changed
and with his brother Harry, he had
been conducting the business under
the firm name of Loughead Bros.
His splendid energy and good bust
ness tactics had won for the firm
leading place among similar industries
throughout the country, as it is today
one of the leading industries of the
town. Deceased was popular, and in
the prime of vigorous manhood and
that he should be cut off is generally
regretted. He was aged 33 years and
eight months and leaves a widow and
infant son to mourn. Whole souled
sympathy goes out to the bereaved on
the part of the entire community.-Sar

MT. Fnirhnnlx. on The Tariff

New York Sun.
 Within a short time the other con- tenders for, the Republican. nomination for President will be seen chamber ing painfully but as quickly as may be up to the tariff platform that Charles Warren Fairbanks nailed together at Indianapolis yesterday. Mir. Fair. banks, over whose "timidity'' and caution" his opponents have had much mirth, not only believes the tariff should be revised, but he dares to fix a date in the immediate future which he says the readjustment of the rates should begin.
 This none of the other candidates has done. All are for revision heart and soul, but they have not decided yet when the matter should be taken up. Mir. Fairbanks, to scoff at whom Is always in order. is the first to pro- pose a serious consideration of the subject. Mr. Cannon has got so far as to admit that the Dingley law "is not sacred" MT. Taft bubbles with honorable intentions, Mir. Hughes is solemn and Delphic, Mir. Fairbanks alone dares to say formally what he believes.
 The Vice President may not get the nomination for President. His Is not a sensational or disturbing nature. This is against him. He may. however, have the satisfaction of reading nat ional platform that bears in its par agraph on the tariff a closer resemb- lance to the State platform adopted at his suggestion than to those dictat- ed by his rivals. This would not be without happiness for Mir. Fairbanks. :.

HOW THE MONEY GOES.

Senator Hale of Maine. in a protest in the Senate against the size of the army appropriation bill declared that gro per cent. of the revenues of the Government is devoted to paying the expense of past. present and future wars" Facing an almost certain de- ficit.s comments The Philadelphia Re- c6rd, @and staggering under the weight of the late financial collapse. the na- ton is to be saddled with the cost of a great standing army of 125.oo0 men and of an augmented navy second in offensive power only to that of Great Britain. Of course this gunpowder program, if adopted. will make 1t im- possible to improve our inland water ways or to undertake other schemes of admitted necessity and utility requiring governmental and. An army once or- ganized becomes a permanent addition to the sum of national expenditure. Battleships soon go to the scrap heap. and the cost of repairs and mainten- ance, while they are afoat foots up a frightful annual aggregate. No won- der the wise heads in the Senate begin to raise an outcry of protest"
 "And that's the way the money goes Pop goes the weasel" What's the good of cutting up about it? Is not this a great nation. and should we not be prepared to bulldoze and bullyrag all other countries? Yea. and verify; also, just so. AS long as the race of tingoes fiourishes. in Congress. on the stump and in newspaper onices. just that long will the money be wasted to keep up big armies. build big war ves- sels and buy expensive munitions. The present condition of this country is that of a blusterer and 1t is fast merg- ing towards the status of the bully, The money filched from the people by high tariffs. trust exactions and other methods of which a reputable Govern ment should he ashamed must go to- wards making of the United States q nation to be feared, not respected.
 Senator Hale is no doubt correct in his estimates, and they are not of a kind to be proud of. The war be- tween the States closed forty-three years ago yet the pension list and oth- CT expenses connected with that con- hict still absorbs hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. To that 1t is proposed to add other hundreds of mill lions for debts contracted in other wars, and there it is proposed to large ly increase the standing army and build number of costly battleships to rot and decay and finally be brok en up and sold for old junk. Oh, yes; we are a nation, and are trying to be some thing more.

rrw KIND or oAMrAreNrre.


 Something was 3okingiy said in these columns few days ago about man running for once in . balloon. and the remark was made that 1t look cd more like flying for once. but it seems that it is to be something more than a joke, after all. At least. Mir. Becker. who has . desire to be Gov ernor of Wisconsin does not propose to make merry jest of 1t, for he se- riousiy declares that he is going to use a balloon for campaigning purposes.
 This is certainly an innovation. and It's very uniuueness may make it all the more effective. Mir. Becker says that there are a number of counties in the Northern part of wisconsin which cannot be reached by railroad and are dificult of access in any other way. and he proposes to fly to them. There's where he will have a big ad- vantage over his competitors for the ofice. and where he stands a good show to fly away with the votes of those hill billy citizens hidden away in the hills and woods. While the other candidates are making their 1aborious and perilous way through the forests and over the mountains to places of meeting Mir. Becker win sail over them like a buzzard, and when his rivals get there they will find that he has cornered the market and left them nothing for their labor and pains.
 We are ready to pronounce 1t bully scheme. and shall feel very much sur prised if it fails to work as expected. great many people are easily at- tracted and influenced by something new. and this is the newest thing in campaigning that we have read about. When the rural voters see man coming down to them in a>bal- loon. with flags flying and probably the band playing they will cotton to him at once and tell the other cam didates to go hang.
 It is true that the plan has its un- certainties, and possibly it's perils. Balloons are almost as uncertain as mules in some respects. and unless MT. Becker has found a way to control one better than most others have done he may be entering into a whole lot of trouble before all is done. Just when he finds himself almost in sight of a large concourse of waiting and ex- pectant fellow citizens his flyer may burst and scatter him all over the community, and then the subsequent proceedings will interest him no more. Again. while he is sailing serenely to- wards his destination a cross current may strike him and land him in Cam ada or some other outlying country where canvassing for votes will be unprofitable. These are some of the disadvantages of MT. Beeker's project. but if he goes at it, and nothing un- toward occurs to set him back. he plainly has a good thing in the way of campaigning however it may turn out as a vote-getter.

 Contrary to the usual custom there will be two candidates for Governor in the Georgia election this year. Since the constitutional convention in 1877, at which time it was deemed wise To limit the service of Governor to four years, each Governor has served two terms, except Governor A. H. stephens who died in office. It has been an un- broken custom to give the successful candidate a second term without op. position. But at the primaries next June Governor Hoke Smith will be opposed by Joseph B. Brown. Mir Brown was dismissed from service as a Railroad Commissioner by Governor Smith last year. and now seeks retail ation or vindication by opposing Mir Smith for the second term.
