The meeting of Keota Literary So
eisty Wednesday evening was the best
attended of the season. A good pro-
gram was rendered. but it was brief be-
cause Of the failure to take part OF
number who were named. The showing
of curios was an interesting feature;
one that might well be repeated. Per-
haps one of the most interesting exhibits
was that of Rev. Oliver. who brought a
photograph of the old tannery which be-
lonRed to John Brown, of Harper 3 Fer
~ fame, and q cane cut from light-oak
log out of the building. Another was
South African assegsi, or native spear,
shown by Mrs. J. J. Savage. 1t was
from collection made by an uncle OF
Mr.. Savage, who served ss a captain IN
South Africa before the Boer War.
Other exhibits were: A paper U. S.
bill for 25c, or "shin plaster" by Mrs.
Schoonover; a very old porcelain sugar
bowl. by Mrs. Gurwell; flying eagle
one-cent piece, by c. L. Stanley; sps-
cimen of lead ore from the Wellington
mine, Breckenridge, Colo. by D. w.
Schoonover.

CONWAY WILL BE COUNTY

The sentiment in the north end of
the county appears to be in favor of

living editorial taken from the Marsh
field Herald.
The Herald is not taking upon it.
self an effort to presage who viii be
elected the next county judge, only
insofar as straws indicate the way
the winds do blow and the further
fact hiatt W. ]. Conway, the present
incumbent, has every deserving re-
commend in his favor why he should
be his own successor He was in
the city last Monday on a business
matter connected with his office and
the friendly feeling shown him by all
is suggestive of the way he will be
treated here on election day. The
office of county judge is out of po-
ntics, as it should be, and the I'M
biased judgement placed upon Mr..
Conway by the voter is from the man
ner in which he has conducted the
affairs of this important office during
the years he has served. Over 5000
cases, during his terms, have been
disposed of and it is worthy of note
to record the fact that not a single
judgment or decision has been re-
versed. Some Of the large estates
ever probated in this county have
been administered during his term
and promptness and economy have
characterized his work. To the coun
ty judge We entrust the Last acts of
our Hves-our last will and testament
audit is for him to see to it that our
widows and orphans are properly deal
with. Experience and faithfulness in
these matters points out Mr.. Conway
as the man desired to be continued
| in office. We think the Herald is
voicing the sentiment of the voters
in this end of the county when it say
he has got, and honestly earned, the
good will and esteem of nearly all

1T is true, We have some legisla-
ton for the protection of laboring
men, and especially the working Wo-
men and children. There is a law
limiting the hours Of labor for wo-
man to 50 hours a week and we have
heard that some of our factories are
going to leave the state because of
that law. But where would they go?
Minnesota, Illinois-even Illinois
Michigan and Iowa-al1 of the states
about us have similar laws.
Eve have a worhngmen's compne-
sation law, which is also a wise and
just law. 1t protects the widow and
orphans, not alone from the selfish
ness of some employers, but from
the shyster lawyer, who usually keeps
at least half Of a personal injury
judgment. It viii save both those who
labor and those for whom they la
Dor, money as well as Self-respect,
coming to see that the law is to
their advantage"
Mr. Wing also takes the opportu-
niyt to express a sincere hope that
the present legislature will pass
minimum wage scale maintaining that
1T is a disgrace to any community
that women can be employed in fac
tories for less than enough to de-
Gently clothe and feed them"
Mr.. Wing, after diagnosing the ar
guments of Bolens, hands something
of a rebuke to men Of his stripe by
maintaining that since the birth of
the progressive idea he has heard
the leaders condemned as cheap po-
iticians and much wors.''
Knowing these men, personally"
he says, 81 want to say that they
are men of the highest personal char
acter, and of exceptional intelli
gence and integrity. 1t takes more
than cheap politician to vote for
| legislation that will deprive him of
a large part of his income, as was
the case with many lawyers who vot-
ed for the workmen's compensation
law"
In closing, the La Crosse banker
pays a high tribute to the state
saying:
For myself I am proud to be a
native and "a citizen of Wisconsin,; I
am proud Of the progress that has
been made in Wisconsin as out
lined; and I am proud that Wis
Consin has given to the nation it's
greatest leader in progress, Robert

than all the others, is credit due for
the accomplishments in Wisconsin, y

A large number Of citizens have
expressed their qualification at the
announcement of John Roberts in
Monday nights Daily at which time
he told the public that he was a candi
date for the office of justice of the
peace. Mr. Roberts is young man
of excellent character, and his expert
ence in law work will make him an
unusually good justice of the peace.
A clear knowledge of the law by one
holding this office and the ability to
size up evidence" which comes from
practicing law make Mr.. Roberts a
very desirable official This is a
step in the right direction and every
public spirited citizen should realize
that having an attorney as a justice
of the peace will mean that, that Of
flee will be looked after as it should
be looked after and that the election
of Mr. Roberts means another step
forward in the advancement of the

FRANK w. CALkINS FOR COUN-
TY JUDGE,

''FNiNN W. SNINiNo TUX SOON-
TY JUDGE.
TO THE ELECTORS OF WOOL
COUNTY WISCONSIN:
Gentlemen:-I became a candidate
for County Judge at the urgent re-
quest of a great many taxpayers and
voters of Wood County who promi s.
ed to support me because they do
not deem the continuing in office of
any man for long term of years or
for life, for the best interests of the
County. The sentiment in Wood
County seems to be overwhelmingly
in favor of a change in any county Of
flee, after the incumbent has held it
for a reasonable length of time.
My opponent has held the office of
County Judge for twelve years con-
tinuously, and during that time the
county has paid him approximately
Eighteen Thousand (S18, 100000 Dol
lars in salary and fees. If you be
lieve as a vast majority of the
electors seem to believe, that this
is all any man should ask from the
people, kindly remember me at the
polls ON election day.
