J. F. Stewart for County Judge

In the candidacy of J. F. Stewart
for County Judge, the people of
Lincoln county are to be congratula-
ted. For this Office the incumbent
should be fair, unbiased and able.
Mr.. Stewart combines these qualities,
and in addition is man that is alb
solutely independent. He will wear
no man or set of mems collar. He
came to Lincoln county at the time
the county was first organized, and
has ever since been a strong factor
in every work looking to the upbuild-
ing and development of the county.
He served the county as County
Judge for four years, his term eno-
ing in 1902, and his administration
was marked with ability and fairness,
He has served the City of Toledo
with credit both as city Recorder anC
as a councilman. For many year:
he has been on the school board O.
the Toledo school district and has
been strong factor in building NJ
Toledo's c,e litable and profcien
school system. He was one of tn,
moving spirits in creating the Por
of Toledo, and is now serving tht
people as one of the members of tn
Port Commission.
The election of Judge Stewar
would mean fair, honest busines
admin ;tration of the County's at
fairs. The voters can make no mis-
take in voting for Mr.. Stewart.

JUDGE THos. BURKE. of Seattle. a
candidate on the republican ticket for
United States senator. was feeling the
pulse of the people OF Spokane last
week. The whirl-a-gig Of time work,
strange changes. The first time the
writer met Judge Burke was at the
democratic territorial convention held
at Walla Valla in lss3. where the late
Chas. ;. voorhees, received the nOmi-
nation for congress. In those days the
line Of political demarkation was very
marked. Republicans were hide
bound" a word that straddlers. and
the weakened. and shuttle-cock par
- men take delight in throwing at
those true TO their party allegiance.
and democrats were no less loyal to
their party The territory was sup
posed 10 be irretrieyably republican,
and the Walla Walla convention had
great difficulty picking out acandidate
for the expected slaughter. The mar
tyr's crown was protfered to Tom
Burke. then in intellect and ability
head and shoulders above any man in
the territory, but the willy politician
gracefully waved aside the honor. Joe
Kuhn was urged TO accept. but could
not be tempted. Nearly every demo-
c at Of any prominence in the conven-
ton was rendered the nomination. but
firmly and vigorously the proposition
was turned down, and it seemed at one
time that no one could be prevailed
upon 10 enter the lists. Finally Mr..
voorhees,, then young man and little
known, was named as the democratic
standard bearer. Furthermore he
made strenuous campaign, and great
ly to the surprise Of his party, and to
the confusion OF his over-confdent op-
ponents. won out. Had any of the
greater lights Of the democratic party
believed for a moment that success was
within the bounds OF possibility the
prize never would have fallen to the
young man from Colfax. And few in
that Walla Walla convention could
have been made to believe that the
time would ever come when Tom Burke
would be seeking political honors thro'
the hands OF the republican party. The
world may not change. but men do.
Not only Is that whilom democratic
war horse. Burke, appealing to repub-
licans FOR preferment. but another re-
cruit from the democratic ranks who
changed his politics for Office, and is

him to high position. is anxious to
don the senatorial toga through the in
huence of republican votes, while 9TH
er recent democrats, the echo of their
abuse Of republicanism as yet hardly
dying out, are appealing for republi-

ter with republicans standing for re-
publicans when there are Offices to fill?

declined. To those so ready 70 take
up the cudgel in defense of local op-
ton the statement already made will
be reiterated. Insofar as the question
OF local option is concerned in Oroville.
at this time, and under the petition
submitted 10 the council, there is no
principle involved, and the question
never would have been mooted had the
same influence succeeded in securing a
license for another saloon. This atti-
tude removes any index Of honesty Of
motive On the part OF those most ac-
tive in forcing the question TO an issue,
and those who can endorse that method
Of procedure must be suspected Of ia
yoring that craft and deceit which in
sists that the end justities the means.
The proprietors Of this paper do not
consider that the time is propitious
for enforcing local option in this place.

privilege which is their perfect right.
The conditions prevailing here at pres
ent are different than in places where
local option have been tried. Almost
the entire income Of the town is de-
rived from saloon license. 1t is all
very well. especially for those at
distance who are not called upon to
contribute, TO say let the merchants be
heavily taxed through the medium of
license to pay the several thousand
dollars derived from saloons. but the
application Of this annual tax does not
look 50 enticing to those who have to dig
up. If those who insist upon inforcing
local option are willing to donate the
revenue that would thus be cut off
there might be some ground for sup
porting the measure.
