Roy J. Dobell for County Judge.

1t is but seldom that the people
of the Countyare fortunate enough
to be able to cast their votes for IL
man who will fill the office of
Judge of the County Court a
efficiently As Roy j. Dobeil. At
the time of Judge Miller's resig
nation. the County Commissioners
selected him as the one man in
Sedgwick County to fill this i'm
portant office. While Mr.. Dobell
ha,, occupied this Office he has de-
voted great deal of time to the
establishment of system pat
termed after that pursued III the
same office in the City and County
of Denver. He took the trouble
and time to investigate the meth
DDS employed by that office and
has introduced the same methods
here. All the records in the
Judges office are row kept in
loose leaf books and all the writ
ing in these books are done with
typewriter.
Judge Dnbell has perfected Il
system of indexing so that it is Il
pleasure to examine the records of
the County Court. 1t takes but Il
second to find any case and when
shat case is found those who have
occasion to work in the County
Judges office know that the files
are complete. A large portion of
the time of the County Judge is
consumed in probate matters.
This work requires great accuracy.
The settlement of estates involving
several thousands of dollars may
be entirely valueless as a matter of
record through the careless writ
ing or mis-spelllng ola namc. 1t
is very important that this office
be filled by man who understands
and sees to it that probate matters
are carried on correctly. This
Judge Dobell does.
Those who have worked in the
County Court and who use the
County Court records are espe-
eially desirous of Judge Dobell's
election to this Office. He has
worked hard to bring the Office to
its present state of perfection and
We hope that he will be retained
by the people to carry on the
work he has so we'll started. The
people of the county need him.

Frank Austin for Commissioner
for 3rd District

Mr.. Austin came to Sedgwick
County 30 years ago rs II very
young man and has grown up with
the country. He is counted as
among the best farmers in the
County. He has made all he pos
sesses right here in Sedgwick
County and is one of Sedgwick
County's boys, The table land
farmers need just such man as
Frank Austin to represent them
on the Board. He knows from
personal observation and exper-
ience exactly what the South table
land district requires of a commits
sioner and every man and weman
who knows Frank Austin realizes
that when he is elected to this Office
he will be all thata commissioner
should be.
Mr.. Austin will be a valuable ad-
dition to the Sedgwick County
Board for his knowledge of road
affairs. At the present time we
have many new roads and within
the next two years many more
will be built. Mr.. Austin will
take an especial interest in the
roads of the county and a vote
for him will mean safe and sane
man on the Board of County
Commissioners.

BREWER I~NAUGURATED AS
GOVERNOR.

Earl Brewer was inaugurated
Governor Of Mississippi last Tues
day, a great throng of his friends
being present to witness the event.
Governor Brewer was fittingly
introduced by his worthy prede-
cessor, Governor Noel, and pro-
ceeded to deliver his inaugural
address, which was brOad-guaged
and statesmanlike throughout. He
urged the need Of reforming the
criminal laws; recommended the
creation Of an appellate or inter
mediate court to relieve supreme
court; declared uneQuivocally in
favor of a good roads law; favorS
a juvenile criminal refOrmatOry;
would raise the age of consent
from II to 10 years; fayOrs the
present prohibition laws with a
few strengthening amendments;
opposes issuing bonds to pay the
current expenses Of government;
thinks the arms Of the Railroad
Commission should be strength
ened in regulating the inequalities
of freight rates; he demands the
enactment Of laws that will protect
bank depOsitors and advises the
creation of the office Of bank
examiner; fayors liberal appro-
priations for public education, the
eIemosynary Institutions, soldiers
home and old ladies' home. The
Governor also announced that he
wound not appoint any man as a
Judge who is an applicant for the
position; that recommendations of
the bar would receive c0nsidera-
ton at his hands, but that he will
not tolerate the heretofore practice
of applicants engaging in a sCram-
bic for Endorsements, etc, in order
TO secure appointments.
Governor Brewer begins his
administration admirably, and we
wish for him success in all of his
laudable declarations of policies
so ably outlined in his inaugural
address, which is printed in full in
this issue Of The Commonwealth.
