A Poor Ans wer

On the progressive page of the Jules
burg News OF Oct. IS, we find the fol-
lowing: when Mr.. Austin was asked
if he could keep the books in the
judges Office he replied. "Wel it
is admitted that can do good job of
singing paint so if l can't keep the
books with a pen III use my brush"
We have nothing to say against Mr..
Austin's ability to paint as a good
painter in the community is valuable
asset to that community, but we do
not see where man being a good paint
er is any evidence that he would make
a good County Judge, IN fact, unless
he has had some experience other
than painting buildings and unless his
knowledge of law and equity is such
that he can successfully carry on the
Office of County judge, we see no re-
commendation in his statement that I'll
just use my brush.
The books of the county court nor the
work to be done in the county court
connot be done with brush. 1t must
be a man with a knowledge of law; a
man who has had experience in hand
ling matters of finance; man capable
of keeping the books Of the office in a
business like way and man broad
enough in his views and broad enough
in his mind so that he will have no
favorites and will keep his court above
politics. If Mr.. Austin has these
qualifications he is qualified for the Of
flee, it he has not he is unqualified.
The books of the county court cannot
be keep with brush.

District Court Adjourned Uutil
December End

Judge Burke was in Julesburg Sat
urday and ascertained that to hold
court this week thereby necessitating 81
jurors ard litigants and witnesses leav-
ing their farm duties right at the busy
season for several day and possibly
longer would discomode large per-
centage of those compelled to attend
court, adjourned the October term of
the district court in Sedgwick county
to convene December I'd, 1912 This
adjournment will be duly appreciated
by those who would have had to attend
court.
In driving over the county last week
we had numerous inquiries as to how
long the district court would be in ses
sion and as to what means would have
TO be employed to be excused from at
tending court. Sedgwick county has
been blessed this year with wonder
fnl crop of sugar beets, potatoes, grain
and corn which means much to the fin
ancial interest of the county. 1t is
impossible to nire men enough to do
the work of harvesting this crop. The
average farmer is working from day.
light until after dark to take care of
his farm products. A day or an hour,
tn saw nothing about week from work
would mean much entailed loss and by
having the district court meeting in
December our farmers can devote their
time during this good weather attend
ing to farm duties and can attend
court in December without material
loss.

Amn,ons Not To Be Governor

The average farmer although his
hands may be rougheded from shuck-
corn and cracked from milking on
frosty mornings is not caring so much
about the reception he is going to
ge. from the Governors Office as he is
about the laws that are going to be
passed by the party in control. We
doubt very much whether any of the
farmers, or in fact. any of the citizens
OF Sedgwick county have or intend to
visit the governors Office. If they do,
whether they be farmers or merch-
ants, he expects to get the same
courteous treatment from the Chief
Official of the state, and if he does
not it simply reflects dscredit upon the
man who occupies the position and will
not worry our citizens, hut if we are
to have an administration either state
or national, who are going to work for
measures which will ruin one of our
greatest industries in Sedgwick county,
the raising of sugar beets, hat is a
matter which will interest all of us
materially and our private opinion is
that Mr.. Ammons, the candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket, will
never have the opportunity of welcom-
ing the farmers or or any one else in
the official capacity as the governor of
the state of Colorado.

State Extravagance

When Governor Shafroth assumed
his present office, there was approx
mately five hundred thousand dollars
$500, 900, cash in the treasury. All of
said sum has been dissipated together
with all other moneys collected during
this administration and the state is
now facing deficit of approximately
two million dollars. This in the face
of the fact that the revenues of the
state, amounting to over two million
eight hundred Thousand dollar t$2, S0O,-
900. .00) were larger than in any similar
period in the history of the state. The
last democratic legislature appropriat-
ed over two million dollars in excess
of the estimated revenues and the
bills were signed by the Governor not
withstanding the fact that he must
have known that the revenues antici-
pated would not meet them. The re-
suit has been that the state Institutions
have been short of funds and have been
compelled to solicit aid from private
citizens in order to meet actual ex-
penses and perform the function for
which they were created.

Burke in Logan county cannot endan'

manner in which Judge Burke has ham
