THE UNCERTAINTY OF POLITICS,

lHt UNCERTAINTY Ut PUllliGS,
A week ago Municipal Judge Schmidt
was riding on the crest of popular
wave, and his reelection seemed GER
tain without opposition. Then sudden
ly, at the eleventh hour, petition wa:
circulated for Harry f. Kelley, the
present CITY attorney of Manitowoc
who is conceded to be of sound judicia
timber. Upon investigation it appears
that this surprising action is but the
elimination of storm which has beer
brewing for some time.
The law provides that defendant in
municipal court may make an affidavit
of prejudice, whereupon the municipal
Judge calls in the county judge or q
justice of the peace to try the case.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Forrest, who is
justice of the peace, was called in to
act as municipal Judge, and at this
writing county judge Chloupek is occu-
pied in the trial of the libel case
against Althen, the Two Rivers editor.
1t appears that these instances, of call
ing in another judge, have been quite
numerous and increasing, especially in
Important and strongly contess,1 eas,ss,
SO much SO, that persons having busi-
ness in county court have often been
inconvenienced. This last complaint
might easily be remedied by amending
the law so that only justices of the
peace would be called. in, thus giving
the county judge more time to attend
to the duties of his court. But a rem
edy against removals in general is not
so easily suggested.
Other opposition dates back some
years, when the salaries of county
officers were raised. At that time the
question arose whether the municipal
judge could enjoy an increased salary
at once, or whether he would have to
wait until he entered upon a new term,
for the reason that the constitution
provides that the salary of public
officer shall neither be raised nor low
cred during bis term. This provision
tends to guard against official influence
on the one hand, and against arbitrary
action of public bodies on the other
hand. Nevertheless, in this instance
the salary was increased and took
effect at once. 1t is claimed that this
was due to the agitation of Mr..
Schmidt himself, and to his personal
influence and interviews with the su-
pervisors, he even going to the extent
of appearing before the county board
and delivering speech in favor of the
measure. His action was criticised at
the time, but we are under the impress
sion that he presented an opinion of
the attorney general that the action of
the county board would not be illegal,
for the reason that the municipal Judge
was not a public officer within the
meaning of the constitution Many
citizens, however, were still unconvinc-
ed. believing that thing may be tech
nically legal and yet wrong in princi-
Pile. These now have their innings,
and their activity presents an example
OF the uncertainty Of political life.

In the above article it will be MOTTO
ed that the Post says that Harry Kel-
ley "Is conceded to be of sound judici-
al timber" This is mplimentary to
Atty. Kelley, coming from such a
source as the Manitowoc Post. And
the Post is right. To speak modestly
and truthfully of Mr. Kelley, without
any fulsome praise, he is man of cul-
ture, well read in the law and possess
es what is called the judicial tempera-
ment. He is humble and unassuming,
yet strong in his convictions and bold in
their assertion when the occasion calls
for it. He has complete sense of
right and wrong and, il elected, he
will make an upright, honest and i'm
partial Judge.

BATHTUB TRUST men
ARE LAW YIOLATORS
Federal Jury Convicts Eight
Who Must Go to Jail Or Pay
Big Fine.

Detroit. Mich. Feb. 1S.-The so-called
bathtub trust w,a yesterday found
guilty of criminal conspiracy in re-
straint of trade by a jury in the United.
States district court The act as
charged is a misdemeanor I'M the pen
atty provides imprisonment not ex-
eeeding one year or a fine of $4,000, or
both.
Last November the so-called trust
vas dissolved by the supreme court in
a civil suit instituted at Baltimore.
The criminal case today was a %retrial.
the first trial having resulted in a dis
agreement.
1t was the second antitrust case
decided in favor of the government in
the local within the last week.
the other case being against the boo
and shoe last trust"
The jury conferred four hours to
reach a verdict.
Eight defendants pleaded nolo con-
tendere at the first trial. and they
were summoned to be ready to appear
in court for sentence, which will be
passed today.
When action was first brought
against the defendants the federal
grand jury returned two indictments
against them, charging that by Grim
inal conspiracy they controlled SO per
cent of the annual output of enameled
ware; by patent license agreements
combined to restrain trade in manu-
features and jobbiug in plumbing sup
plies: refused to sell to jobbers who
handled goods for the so-called indie
pendents, and attempted to make uni
form prices throughout the country.
The conspiracy charge, which comes
under section l of the Sherman law.
was h n on which the defendants
We're tried.
The government commended that in
ems, Mich, the defendants put into eff
feet a conspiracy which they had
formed which resulted in the making
of the unlawful patent licenses agree
ments.

United States Needs Flex-
ible Currency.

AHalE sN "a -
Washington, Feb. 1S.-Sir Edmund
Walker. a Canadian banking authority,
before the currency reform committee
of the House. declared the defects OF
the United States banking system were
a lack of flexible currency, fixed re-
serves which d~issipated needed cash in
times of s.rass and the absence of a
rediscount bank.
Sir Edmund declared that the banks
of the United States had not grown
in relation to the great industries of
the country, and they were now be
hind the INES"
He recommended a system of re-
gional banking organizations to
strengthen the individual banks. but
said that he was not in favor of h
Aldrich plan without qualifications.
In these regional divisions he said
the banks should be allowed to issue
asset currency in bank note form.
which would appear as it was needed
n disappear when the need for it
had passed. The national bank note
system he said should be continued
and perfected.
The witness thought that in addi-
ton to maintaining the national bank
ing system, the individual banking
system" should be aided by the gov
eminent. He recommended that per-
mission be granted to private bankers
to establish large banks in the large
cities of the country with branches in
foreign countries.
