Was Taking No Chances,

An amusing incident occurred a few
days ago outside Maranz, Austria
A COW strayed from the pasturage and
came within reach of the fort. The
officer In command suspected the pres
ence of an automatic Photographic ap-
paratus, and had the beast seized and
closely examined and when he found
nothing to justify his suspicious he
turned the animal loose again, under
the observation of two of his men,
charged with the duty of following the
suspected home to ascertain whether
her owner was an Italian spy.

q good chance to get well acquainted

1.-THE right man in the right place.
Judge Phelan Is peculiarly fitted
flor the position. In the first place,
the has grown up with the world, rub
1bed shoulders with the people in
Humble walks of life and has thus
|been able to study the different phases
Rof humanity. Then, too, he IL pos
bsessed of more than an ordinary
kamount of good. common sense, the
k1dnd needed for the office OF Judge.
In addition to these qualifications, the
Judge, through his many years on the
bench. has become well yersed In the
practice OF criminal courts. His rul.
1ngs, however are usually based on q
common sense view OF the situation
before him, and IL is seldom that he
makes an error in Judgment. Few
OF his decisions have been reversed
BY the supreme court.
\ Another feature which makes
Juoge Phelan a success as recorder
Is that he sees the amusing side or
cases, particularly the ordinance con-
plants, which come before him. Thl3
Is strong point In his favor, because
it relieves the monotony OF the posi-
lion. Many a Judge would be irri'
table and peeyish in cases where
Judge Phelan is happy and right at
home, so to speak. Ii Is well thet
Judge Phelan is SO constituted, for he
can sit In court under all circum-
Stances and environment and give one
an all just trial and judgment. In
tie event of a stern, irritable mao
being on the bench, defendants would
not likely get the same justice that
they do under Judge Phelan.
y t'In view of all the capabilities and
tlie admirable personality OF Judge
Pheian, feel that the voters of De
troit ought to pay him the compliment
OF returning him to ONCE without op
position of any kind. He shouldn't
b opposed by any one. The business
men of the city are well pleased with
hS work as recorder, and don't
think any law-abiding citizen would

Therefore, say, let US, Democrats
