Before graduating, however, he had
already secured position at Copper
Harbor where he taught school during
the summer of 1887. After his gradu-
alton, he taught for two years in the
school at Copper Falls in Keweenaw
county, after which he studied law at
the Normal school at Valparaiso, Ind,
from which he was graduated in 1891.
In the same year, Mr.. O'Brien entered
the practice of the law in Superior,
Wis.,, where he continued to reside I'M
til July, 1899. since which time he has
been resident of Laurium.
Mr.. O'Brien is admitted to practice
in the supreme courts of Michigan and
Wisconsin, and also is a practitioner in
the United States courts of both Min
nesota and Michigan. His practice,
both in Superior and at Calumet, has
been of character to bring him in
contact with some of the best lawyers
in the northwest.
A great deal of Mr.. O'Brien's time
is spent in active court work. His
friends believe that his wide experience
as a trial lawyer, as well as his genera
knowledge of the law eminently qualify
him to perform the duties of circuit
judge.

Senator James of this district to limit

stringent measure of its kind ever in

bill touching every possible way to pre-
vent fraud and corruption at the pri-
maries and general elections. 1t re-
quires candidates to fill an itemized ac-
count of money spent and limits them
to Is per cent Of one years salary ex-
cept that they may spend at least 500.

dates, also corporations of all kinds.
are prohibited from aiding or prevent

worst evils in our primaries and cleo

been the practice for everybody who

Anent Primary Money Distribution.

L. l.. Wright, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, in an interview
with the press correspondents today in
relation to the proposed amendment to
the constitution relating to the dis
tribution of primary money, says:
II urge the adoption of the proposed
amendment because under the present
system of distribution large number
of school districts receive more prim-
airy money than they use. The teach
ers' wages in the state approximate
So, 600, 900 annually. The amount of
primary money distributed annually
approximate sc, 900, 900. There are ap-
proximately one thousand districts in
the state which now have on hand
enough money or more than enough to
pay the teachers wages and all tuition
charges for period of two years in
advance. The census enrolment in
these districts approximate $1,000. If
this amendment shall be adopted, when
we come to distribute the primary
money we shall not count these 65, 0OC
pupils in making up the apportionment.
Heretofore, in making the apportion.
ment we have divided approximately
Sc, 10000 by approximately 756, 900.
If this amendment prevails, we shall
divide the Sc, 600, 900 by 691, 900. This
will make the per capita apportion-
ment larger by about eight per cent
No primary money will go to those dis
tricts which have on hand enough mon
ey to pay their expenses for two years
or more until their surplus is reduced
to point sufficient for two-year sup
ply. They will then again participate
All the money will be distributed t.
the districts which have not two-yeal
supply on hand. This will insure the
active use and expenditure of all the
primary money distributed.

AS The Mercury Sees 1t.

A letter to the Mercury from a
prosperous community in Monroe
county asks why big landowners
and money-lenders are as a rule
opposed to building new court
house and are fighting the PROPOSE
ton. The explanation is not diff
fieult. The man who loans money,
besides being chemically opposed
to taxation of any kind, has moth
ing at stake. His mortgages may
burn, but the man who owns the
land would have to bear the cost
of quietiDg title in case of fire and
he rests content, knowing that
when the expensive litigation is
over and the title cleared his be-
loved plaster will be there, Also
that MIR. small landowner will be
pressing need of more money, and
and that there will be a chance to
gobble some good dirt. The big
landowner, the man who has been
adding farm to farm for years.
doesn't want to sell, never expects

Sound Advice from Shelbina.


On September IL Monroe county
will vote on the proposition to
build a 100000 courthouse. 1t is
unnecessary to discuss whether or
not our neighboring county needs a
new courthouse. Anyone who has
ever been to the county seat and
has had merely an outside view of
the historic old ruin which adorns
the main business street of Paris is
prepared to agree that Monroe
county should have a new court
house. Bnt those who have been
inside and have seen what fire
trap the old building really is and
what a loss of all public records
would be caused by a fire, are GER
tain that the need for a fire-proof
building is a crying one. To some
voters of the county 100000 looks
like big sum to spend all at once.
So they are inclined to say that
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-09-07

$4,000 or $4,000 would build a
good enough structure. Either
sum might build one that looked
good enough and that would be well
enough for a term of years. But
when a public building is being
erected it should be built for all
time. The builders should consider
future generations and strive to
make a building that will last at
least through their own grand
children's time. 1t costs so little
more to do this. Monroe is one of
the largest and wealthiest counties
of the State. The tWenty-year
bonds for 100000 will cost the
taxpayers and average of 7c per
500 valuation per year, not a
heavy tax on anybody. We await
the 18th of September to see if the
example of progressive Shelby will
spur our neighbor yet again into
the line of progress. The proposed
building will and ought to be an
object of pride to all Monroe county
citizens. Shelbina Democrat.
Court House Bond Election.
Monroe county is going to vote
on a proposition to issue 100000
bonds for the purpose of building a
new court house. That Monroe
county needs a new court house
goes without saying. The county's
business is now transacted in an
old rookery that ought to have been
condemned and torn down a quar-
ter of a century ago. 1t contains
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1911-09-07

no fireproof vaults or other ade-
quate means of safeguarding the
county records. 1t is an eyesore to
everybody who has to look at it
and a reproach to the county.
With an assessed valuation of
about 100000 Monroe county
is able to build 100000 court
house and not feel it. About one
tenth of the burden will. fall on the
taxpayers of Paris and everybody
down there is for it strong.
A number of citizens of the north
part of the county have been sound
ed on the subject by the Torch
light and they are for the PROPOSE
ton to a man.
The Torchlight sincerely hopes
the progressive citizens of Monroe
county will roll up an overwhelm-
ing majority for the bond issue that
a court house will be built in keep
ing with the wealth and dignity of
the county.
The election will be held on Tues
day, September IL. and it is the
duty of every citizen who takes a
pride in his county to 60 to the
polls and vote right on this propo-
sition and provide a descent and
safe place in which to transact
business and keep the priceless rec
ords. Shelbina Torchlight,
johnson & Hopkins will do your
Timing, install your furnace and do
all kinds of repairing in their line

the big counties at the head where
it belongs. Of course these men
in urging you to oppose the prop
osition will say that Paris just
wants a new building" and that
everything appearing in the Paris
papers should as a matter of course
be discounted. Candidly, men,
such prejudices are outworn and
unworthy of an enlightened people
Paris would lose less if the old
building burned than any farm
owning school district in Monroe
county and can better afford to do
without a new one. 1t is paying
twice the taxes now of any COM
munity in the county, is even tax
ing itself to build roads outside its
district, and is willing to pay yet
more The Paris papers are county
Tapers and give ten columns to
boosting the farming interest of
Monroe county where they give one
to boosting the county seat. They
boost for Madison, Monroe, Stouts-
vile, Holiday, Santa Fe and every
other community in the county
and play no favorites. They are
recognized throughout the entire
state, city and country, as being
among the county's chief assets,
and what they say on the court
house proposition is disinterested
and for the good of the entire
county. Aware of its own integrity
the Mercury reiterates with all the
force at its command that
THE SMALL FARMER is THE
ONE MAN WHO STANDS TO SUI
FER MOST IF THE LAND REC
ORDS OF THE COUNTY EVER
BURN.
They may burn at any time.
Do you not owe yourself and your
family to see that your home is
protected?
Or with the facts known and
the cost insignificant, will you lis
ten to foolish talk peddled for sell
fish reasons, and continue to take
so reckless a risk? d..
You are an intelligent citizen.
It's up to you.
