For District Attorney.

We wish to call the attention of
that the office of District Attorney is
next iii Importance to that Of Circuit
Judge and to the necessity of having
a thoroughly experienced and qualified
trial lawyer to fill that position and
OF having one in close touch with the
sheriff, county officers and county
board.
Under the present conditions COM
plete control Of all criminal matters
is under the District Attorney and no
action can be taken either by the
sheriff or by the justices of the county
without his direction. In the ad-
ministration of county business ques-
.tluns daily arise with the county
officers and officers of the board which
require his attention and it is of the
greatest Importance that he be in close
touch with them at the county seat.
This is not only a matter of ex-
pediency and safety but an actual
saving to the county of many thou
sands of dollars each year.
The county is fortunate in having
for a candidate this fall, Harry E..
Carthew of Lancaster. Mr.. Carthew
has been in active practice in the
county for the past ten years and dur
ing that time has been engaged on
one side or the other in most of the
important civil and criminal cases
tried in this county. He is a
thoroughly clean, careful and in
dustrious attorney and is considered
one of the most successful trial lawyers
in the county. Mr.. Carthew was
born in the town of Potosi, finished
the local schools and tie University
of Wisconsin and attended the Uni
versity Law school. He practiced
for seven years as a partner of the
late E. M. Lowry and since then has
been a member of the firm of Brown,
Brennan & Carthew.
Mr.. Gardner, the other candidate
for this office is a pleasant, clean
young man who finished the Uni
versity Law school in 1910 and has
since been practicing in this county.

electors in separate columns under
the appropriate party designation.
For the parties IN existence at the
last general election the party circle
can be used. This will include all
the parties for which voters are likely
to be cast save only the ''Bull Moose
which will 60 upon the official ballot

the benefit of a party circle, thus
making it necessary for those voting

presidential elector.

cludes all state. congressional, leg
i~slative and county officers in their
appropriate party columns under the

Votes For Women.

A communication advocating ex
tending the ballot to women has been
sent to a prominent citizen of Ian.
caster. the following extracts from
which we publish by request
Richland Center. Wis, Oct. 16. 1919.
I desire to call your attention to a
matter of great Importance to this
country, that comes up at the election
next month, Equal Suffrage, that the
intelligent women of this country
shall have the same right in the vote
of the government as the men.
Why have they not had it? No
n can answer that. They are
amenabls to the laws; they pay taxes.
Abraham Lincoln, the greatest and
wisest man in this country, said, 81
go for all sharing the privileges of
the government, who bear it's burdens.
by no means excluding women"
Jane Adams says, I'VE need this
implement in order to preserve the
homes and children"
In six of our states they have full
suffrage, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
Iadho, Washington and California.
Sweden, Norway, Nova Scotia and
New Zealand have full suffrage and
it is universally deemed a success.
Henry George says. ''The natural
right of a woman to vote is the same
al that of a man.
The opposition say that the polling
places ale not tit for women to go.
Then let us improve them until they
become as our school houses and our
churches.
It has been tried in our schools and
none want to go back to the old
system. Tnen why rot take another
step forward? We freed four million
slaves and the government enfranchis-
ed them. Our Atlantic ports are
swarming with the slums of southern
Europe who are being ~enfranchised.
Why not let our girls who are reared
clean and who are educated have the
same privilege2
Wisconsin is a progressive state.
The eyes of the nation and of the
world are on us. Let us put our
shoulder to the wheel once more and
show the whole world that Wisconsin
is still in the lead by rolling up a big
vote for Woman Suffrage.
See that your ballot is marked in
the square for "Yes."

Montessori Method Defined.

Probably you have heard vague ru-
mors in the publications of this coun-
try-daily, weekly and monthly-of
the "Montessori Method" Have you
ever wondered just what this phase
means? Well, here is the answer,
simply and directly expressed. Are
you ready? The Montessori Method
is the education of the stereognostic
sense, alias the visual perception of
differences and dimensions, in chill
dren of pre-kindergarten age. That's
all there is to it.

JUDGE AND JURY
FEAR FOR LIVES
Chief Figures in Becker Case
Face Death Daily.
GUARD G0FF AND WHITMAN
Witnesses in Case Receive Threats
While Behind Prison Walls, Sup
posedIy From Friends OF
Accused Gunmen.

New York, Oct. 28.-An extraordin-
airy situation in a civilized community
has developed since Lieut.. Charles
Becker was found guilty of murder
in the first degree. The men who did
their duty-the Judge of the court, the
lawyers for both sides, the jurors,
and the witnesses-cannot walk the
streets with the same feeling of safe
ty they had before the trial.
Justice John w. Golf was threat
ened by letter and over his private
telephone before the jury returned the
verdict. When he leaves his residence
in West One Hundred and Fourth
street his assistant secretary, Thomas
Kearney, or an armed guard accom-
panies him.
District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man is compelled by the insistence of
his staff to permit Detective Albert
Thomas to keep near him when he is
not in his private office or in his home
at 81 Madison avenue. He has re-
ceived threats that he will not live to
prosecute another case.
Mcintyre Fears for His Life.
John F.. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
Becker, makes no secret of his belief
that his life is in danger. Toward the
close of the trial and while he was
standing just outside of the courtroom
a gangman mUttered in his ear that
his comments about Jack Roses wife
would cost him his life. Mr.. McIn-
tyre carries a revolver and is ready
to use it at any moment.
Rose, Weber, WALTON and Schepps,
the informers, have received mes,
sages in the West side court prison
that if they have any property to dis
pose of they might as well make their
wills. These threats are supposed to
emanate from the friends of the gun
men, "Gyp, the Blood" Lefty Louie
'Dago Frank and Whitley Lewis.
Shapiro, the chauffeur, who turned
against the gunner and who an
nounced that he is ready to identify
them as the m%urderers Of Rosenthal,
has told his lawyer, Aaron J. Levy,
that he fears he will be shot or
stabbed as soon as he is let out of
prison. Shapiro has been threatened
with death as a ~''squealer."
Lawyer Levy thinks that he is no
longer safe because he permitted his
client, Shapiro, to take the witness
stand against Becker and because he
had advised Shapiro to testify against
the gunner when they come to trial.
Mr.. Levy has received venomous
threats daily.
Friends of the jurors who convicted
Becker have been getting anonymous
letters and telephone calls, some of
which have been alarming.
Try to Minimize Danger.
Justice Golf, the district attorney,
Mr.. Mcintyre, and others, who dislike
sensationalism, have sought to mini
mize the facts that indicate that men
who hire out for assassination and as
saults seek an opportunity to cap the
Rosenthal case with a crime more
%atrocious even than the killing of Ro-
seminal.
Despite their reluctance to admit
that danger exists, the facts are as
stated-that vicious threats have
been received and that common sense
precautions are being taken by the
men threatened.

DISCUSSED MATTER Of
WOODMAN INSURANCE
Sunbeam is Opposed to the
Proposed New Rates
Meeting of Woodman to Hear Him,
Last Thursday Evening Was
Well Attended.

A mass meeting of Modern Wood
men was held at Woodman Hall, in
this city last Thursday evening for
the purpose OF listening to a discus
sion of the matter of the increased
rates of insurance in that order,
which are to go into effect January
1st of next year. unless through a
referendum vote of the subordinate
camps throughout the country
previous to that time such action may
be delayed or entirely done away
with.
This meeting was very largely at
tended, not only by members of this
camp, bat by those from Ellenboro,
Beetown, Glen Haven and elsewhere.
Some neighbors who had not been
inside a Woodman camp in years were
present to listen to a discussion of
this important matter as a great deal
depends upon its ultimate settlement.
Thousands of Woodmen have with
drawn from the order and surrendered
their policies within t7e past few
months because they have felt that
the new rates are higher than they
can afford to pay. Many thousands
of others nave been waiting to see if
the action of the head camp cannot
yet be modified, in tho hope that an
adjustment may be reached which
will permit them to remain with the
order they love so well and with
which they have long been affiliated.
Many of them have been paying in
surance assessments for a long term of
years with the expectation of thus
providing for the members of their
families in casa Of death. and while
they feel that the new rate is more
than they can afford to pay they have
now reached an age where it will be
equally expensive TO cur other in
surance, and the situation for them is
a serious one.
The speaker of the evening was j.
/. Sunbeam, Of Minneapolis. one of
the leading orators and insurgents OF
the order. He urged very strongly
that every Woodman stick to the
order and not allow his insurance to
lapse January 1. no matter what he
may think of the increased rate. He
expressed great faith in the belief
that a compromise can be effected and
that the head camp can be induced to
reconsider its previous action and so
modify its rates as to enable all to re-
main within the order and continue
their insurance.
The speaker was very positive in
the declaration that the proposed in
crease is not necessary and produced
figures in abundance to support his
contention.
We believe that Mr.. Sunbeam
talk had a very beneficial effect for
the order here and will hold within
its membership many who had about
decided to drop out at the first of the
year.
There is much force in speakers
statement that if early next year some
compromise action is taken which
will make conditions more favorable,
those who might drop cut now will be
out and unable to get back without
lncurring much additional expense.
It seems wiser to hold on for a time
longer at least and see what can be
accomplished.

Colonel Roosevelt quoted from his

base future tariff rcvislons. BY this
means, he declared, "iog rolling meth
