FdVOrS Woman SuffrdQe.

James A. Sheridan is writing interest
ing letters in favor of Woman suffrage
for the Waterloo Democrat In his last
letter he makes strong plea as follows:
An opponent of equal suffrage tells me
that women could not understand the
tariff. Why? Women understand the
meaning of grand larceny and that is the
protective tariff, nothing more, nothing
less. Let us look at the suffrage require
ments and Determinations in Wisconsin.

JUDGE GRIMM

On the 1st day Of J nuary 1913, the

A Warning to ROWdies.

Chief af Police Block has published a
worning to rowdies to refrain from
throwing missiles such as ice, snow OF
snowballs or in any other way interfer-
ing with people upon the streets or alleys
in this city and cautions them to .'look
a leddle Oud' for he has instructed the
police to nail the first and all offenders
for violating his order. There are lot
of young hoodlums in this city who need
to be kicked good and plenty about three
times day and then some more for a
change. The chief is to be commended
for getting busy.

people of the whole circuit are his sup
porters, AMI he will be nominated and
elected without opposition.
During his five years of service he has
made splendid record. Gifted to a large
degree with the true judicial tempera-
ment," he conducts the affairs of the
court with dignity and kindness which
never fail to win and hold friends while
it brings to light the merits of each par
ty's claim.
III the trial of causes he knows neither
friend nor foe, but decides each case as
to him the right may appear, without
fear or favor.
So thoroughly has the fact of his abso-
Lutte impartiality imprt ssed itself upon
the members of the bar that the remark
able, unique situation exists in this coun-
ty, that during the four years past not a
single affidavit of prejudice of the Judge
has been filed in his court.
Another fact we'll worthy of mention
is, that appeals from Judge Grimm's de-
clsions are steadily lessening while the
percentage of affirmances is increasing.
During the last term Of the Supreme
court there were eight cases decided
which had been appealed from this ci, :
cult, and all but one were affirmated; and
in the case reversed Two of the justices
were of the opinion that it ought also be
affirmed
And finally, there is no undue accumu-
lation of cases and there are no improper
delays. The work is attended to with
pronptness and dispatch and is at all
times kept up-to-date.
The GAINESVILLE Daily Recorder says
Circuit Judge George Grimm will COM
pete his first six year term of office on
January 1, 1873 and will accordingly
stand for reelection at the judicial prim-
ary to be held this coming spring.
Perhaps the best commentary that q
layman can make on his character as a
judge and the quality of his service, is tC
say that he has given universal satisfac-
tlon. We people cannl be expected to
know all about court proceedings and
decisions, but we do know that an honest
upright and fearless Judge makes the
ideal representative III the judicial de-
partment of government. He will have nc
opposition in the coming election. which
circumstance in itself is the best proof
of the general satisfaction that is fell
toward his work.
Judge Grimm came into this count,
practically stranger, although he was
county Judge of Jefferson county fo1
years, but today holds the unreseryed con
fdence and respect Of the whole commun
ity. Lawyers speak highly of his equa
BILE nature, his industry and learning an,
the judicial attitude he takes upon hi
cases, while the people know him as al
honest judge. When a public seryan
hndS respect on all sides, it comes Onl
as the reward of faithful and able service
