A Democrats Views on the Judgeship

Editor of the Tribune:
Out in the country we have been
too busy to pay sufficient attention
to the moves on the political checker
board as is our duty as citizens of
Marshall county 1t was reported
that the Democratic County Central
Committee had called "Snap con-
vention" in the interest of "Hon.
Judge Bernetha," and that no Demo
cratic lawyer from Marshall county
would enter the race at this late hour.
I am pleased to know that the Hon.
Adam F. Wise, who represents no
"click" or faction, but always Dem
ocrat. has announced for "one term
only" and it would seem to "Reub'
that with the salary connected with
the Judges office six years is plenty
for one man. How many of you
would support a candidate for sheriff,
treasurer, surveyor or any well paid
official for twelve consecutive years?
1t seems to me that the Demo
cratic County Central Committee
should receive the aid and assistance
of every Democrat in Marshall county
in nominating man from our home
county. The record of Fulton county
has always been to enter the race
with one candidate-and with two or
three candidates from Marshall, has
at all times succeeded in making a
landing.
Six years ago the Marshall county
delegation voted for every member
OF the Marshall county bar and at no
time in either judicial convention did
any attorney from Marshall county
receive a single vote from Fulton
county.
AT the primary Fulton countv will
vote practically solid for Judge Ber-
tina as they would for any member
of the Fulton County bar Why
should not Mr. Wise receive every
Democratic vote of Marshall county.
Some will say the present encum-
bent is popular, has made a good
Judge and hence will receive the Full
ton county vote solid at the primary
election. Democrats these arguments
may be true but Fulton county al
ters not who he is what his quail
6cations may be-
Fellow Democrats let as one
man, arise and with sufficient home
pride to go to the primary and vote
for Adam F. Wise. Let us talk it
from now until we get an opportunity
to vote it. What do you say?

posed, viz: That the Standard Oil

sion rests are as follows:

POSSIBLE.

The favorable action of the North
ern Indiana conference at Anderson
last week in regard to the acceptance
OF the proposed gift of $4,000 by
William Chopson for the establish
ment of Methodist Memorial Home
for the aged at Warren, practically
insures the building of the institu-
ton.
The conference adopted the follow
ing resolutions in regard to the mat
ter without single dissenting voice:

other assets, which shall be secured
by the field secretary or otherwise
Said board of trustees to prepare and
file articles of incorporation at the
earliest possible date.
8. That the trustee be empowered
to consider and act upon any other
proposition for the establishment of
such a home"
Rev. Harlan who has been the field
secretary for the Institution during
the past five years, was highly COM
plimented on the results he had been
able to obtain in spite of the many
obstacles which had hampered him.
He was, retained in the same position
for another year.
The following were elected to the
board of t+rstees: Ministerial-C. u.
Wade, Fit Wayne; B. S. Holopeter,
Wabash; G. G. Brown, Newcastle; ].
A. Beatty, Huntington; F. p Morris,

men--C. Q. Shull. Montpelier; A. B.
Cline. Bluffton; c. c. Cartwright, E.
P. Miller and T. R. Black, Warren.
"A meeting will be held as soon as
possible and an organization of the
trustees made. Applicatior will also
be made as soon as Possible for the
articles of incorporation, End in the
meantime Rev. Harlan will continue
hrs work as field secretary and will
bend every effort to the accomplish
ment of the work TO which he has
been appointed OF the $4,000 nee
essary for the establishment of the
home, $4,000 have been raised, and
the remaining S13,50o will, without a
doubt, be in the hands of the trustees
before the next meeting of the North
ern Indiana conference
While the people of Warren have
responded. nobly to the call, there
is yet plenty of opportunity for fur
ther gifts.
The trustees will probably go ahead
with the purchase of the Beard heirs
farm, and everything will be in shape
for the actual work of building the
home as soon as the amount of
money necessary is raised.

rotary Taft has under consideration
the names of seven men, any one of

SO far the chief obstacle which
seems to bar the path to military
life Is the fact that occupations in
civil walks offer higher income than
the arm is supposed to provide. Those
who have made a study of the sub
ject insist that the pay Of a soldier,
although by no means munificent, Is
far from being meagrc, and that
many opportunities for advancement
are offered. Increase of pay and con-
scTiption have both been suggested
as methods Of making up deficiency
